Crystal-controlled frequency-shift keyer accepts nonreturn-to-zero digital input and generates 5-V P-P FSK output signal having less than 3% total harmonic distortion, at standard 2.125- and 2.975-kHz radio-teletype frequencies. When input is low, counter A divides by seven; for high or logic 1 input, counter divides by five. Counter B divides by eight to produce required output frequencies. EXCLUSIVE-OR gates G1 and G2 generate fist approximation to desired sine-wave out-put, for filtering by three-pole active Butter-worth low-pass filter having 4.75-kHz cutoff.-K.

Output of Signeties 555 timer F, consisting of unipolar waveform varying from ground to +5 V, is converted to bipolar pulse train having duration equal to that of output pulse from lower 555 timer. While P is high, comparator 2 is on, forcing R2 to ground and placing base of Q1 at 2.5 V (because comparator 1 is off, forcing R1, high). Comparator 2 goes off when timer P goes low, and action of comparator 1 is turned on and off by timer F to produce bipolar pulse train at E0.-G. L.

When the touch plate is touched, it turns the output of IC1 on, giving a positive potential to the base of Q2. In turn, that turns on pins 4, 5, and 6 of IC2, triggering the SCR's gate and energizing RY1.When RY1 is energized, its contacts pull in, turning on the ac bulb. When R1 is hit by a strong light, it turns on the SCR and energizes RY1. To turn the ac bulb off, just point a strong flashlight at R2; this decreases the base resistance of Q3, making its base positive and, therefore, energizing RY2. When the contact of RY2 pulls in, it disconnects the anode of the SCR from the positive supply, turning it off. Or you can press S2 to energize RY2 and turn off the ac bulb (View)

When S1 is closed,the circuitry is on in standby mode.When the touch plate is touched,the output of the 555 time IC1 goes high,supplying a positive potential to the base of transistor Q2,aiding its bias,The transistor is then on,allowing current to flow through pin4,5 and 6 of IC2.The gate of the SCR is then triggered,the relay is energized,and its contacts turn the ac bulb on.To turn the bulb off,just press S2(RESET),which disconnects the ande of the SCR from the positive supply,turning it off and deenergizing the relay,The light-dependent resistor(R7)is used if you want to turn on the circuit remotely.Just point a flashinght at R7 to decrease its resistance,leaving only the 1000Ω resistor as the base resistance.The resistance give the base a positive positive potential,forward biasing the emitter-base junction of transistor Q1.Transistor Q2 is also turned on because its base is made positive by Q1,which triggers SCR1,energizing the relay.
