Uses additional input stage to increase input impedance from 3K to over 200K.Power frequency response is flat within 0.5 db from 20 cps to 20 kc. Output impedance is less than 0.3 ohms, for good speaker damping,and harmonic distortion at full power is less than 0.25%.- Transisfor Manual, Seventh Edition, General Electric Co., 1964, p 269.

This simple circuit acts as a frequency multiplier, which converts any sloped input waveform into a distorted output waveform, whose frequency spectrum is marked by a rich harmonics content.The input frequency does not disappear from the spectrum, however. When a pure sine-wave input signal is applied, the circuit generates odd harmonics only. The push-pull outputs of comparators IC1b and IC1a then supply differential signals to adder IC2, which cancels out even-numbered harmonics. For different mark/space ratios of the output signals, as set with P1 and P2, the harmonic spectrum changes. A duty factor of 0.25, for instance, will cause the circuit to supply the second, sixth, and tenth harmonics, but not the fourth one. The spectrum function is then written as sin x/x.The reference levels for the input comparators determine the output waveform. The desired degree of distortion of the input waveform is, therefore, adjusted with the two presets. R2 and R3 should be matched to within 1 percent. (View)

Feedback from collector to base of power transistor through C1 and R2 protects device from destructive transients generated when inductive load such as solenoid is turned off. Alternative use of diode CR2 or CR1-R1 across coil would limit voltage transient but would increase solenoid release time.-D.

Power for the circuit is supplied by B1, a 9-V battery. Two sections of a 4011 NAND gate, U1-c and U1-d, are used as part of a radio-frequency (RE) oscillator (carrier). The other two sections, U1-a and U1-b, are used in an audio-frequency (AP) oscillator (modulator). Switch S1 enables and disables the modulation to allow the transfer of an intelligent message with the transmitter. When you press S1, the AP oscillator composed of U1-a, U1-b, R4, and C1 starts generating an audio signal.That signal gates the RE oscillator composed of U1-c, U1-d, R2, R3, and C2 on and off. When on, the RE oscillator runs at 1 MHz. The resulting output is sent out ANT1 as an AM signal. (View)

Permits use of universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter with model 33 Teletype so keyboard can send and printer can receive at same time. Transmitter interface provides 20-mA current for mark or 1 and open circuit for space or 0. Receiver senses closed contact for mark or 1 and open contact for space or 0. Extra inverters are added to make codes correspond so 1 from UART is read as 1 by Teletype. Designed for 110-baud rate.-D. Lancaster, TV Typewriter Cookbook, Howard W.

This circuit provides a programmable flat-pulse generator with TTL input and up to 24 V p-p output with a 2500-V-μs slew rate. Clamp amplifiers are useful as protective buffers for A/D inputs, as programmable flat-pulse-forming amplifiers, and as amplitude modulators. Because VH and VL clip in the in-put stage and have input bandwidths comparable to the signal inputs, they can also be used in simple circuitry to generate the positive or negative absolute value of input signals (i.e., full-wave rectify them).
