When R5 is illuminated by a flashlight, its resistance lowers, leaving only 10,000Ω as the minimum base resistance. That process gives a positive potential to the base of Q1, therefore turning on the transistor, activating RY2, and turning off the SCR. Or you can press S1 to turn the circuitry off. (View)

When relay is closed, suitable value for C2 (0.0156μF for 2125 Hz) is paralleled with C1 to give desired space frequency. Output is perfect sine wave. Plug output into audio input jack of transmitter. Plug relay coil directly into 150-V 60-mA loop of teleprinter. When loop current is turned on, relay closes and AFSK is on mark.

The circuit is basically a noninverting-mode amplifier. Resistors R2 and R3 bias IC1's noninverting input (pin 3), and R1 plus R4 act as a negative feedback network that sets the closed-loop volt-age gain of IC1 at unity. However, R1 and R4 are used only to set the operating conditions of IC1 at dc and at low to middle audio frequencies. The high-frequency voltage gain is governed by a more-complex negative feedback network that is composed of resistors R5 and R6, potentiometer VR1, and capacitors C4 and C6. R5, VR1, and R6 form a conventional negative feedback network that enables the voltage gain of the circuit to be varied. With the wiper (w) of VR1 toward the top end of its track, the circuit provides losses of nearly 20 dB. Moving the wiper down to the bottom gives almost 20 dB of gain. It is coupled to the inverting input via capacitor C4, which has quite a low value. Consequently, C4 provides an efficient coupling only at high frequencies. At middle and bass frequencies, capacitor C4 has a very high impedance and provides only a loose coupling to IC1's inverting input.Therefore, control VR1 is ineffective at these lower frequencies, where the voltage gain of the circuit is largely governed by resistors R1 and R4. This permits the required boost and cut to be obtained at high frequencies, but keeps the gain at about unity at middle and low (View)

The circuit diagram shown was designed to increase the treble content of an electric guitar's output. It boosts frequencies above 1 kHz and helps to restore any higher-frequency losses. IC1 is a TL071 op amp connected as a noninverting amplifier, which is connected in the line between the guitar and the main amplifier. Potentiometer VR1 determines the level of treble boost applied; with the values of components shown, it will give between 3 and 20 dB. Resistor R6 and the potentiometer VR1 could be replaced by a fixed resistor, if required. The actual boost frequency is set by the values of resistor R4 and capacitor C2. With switch S1 open, the circuit acts as a voltage follower, with no effect on the guitar signal. Closing S1 grounds C2 to the 0-V line, which introduces the boost. Resistor R5 holds the earthy end of C2 at 0 V when switch S1 is open, and prevents switching noise appearing on the signal when S1 is operated. Resistors R2 and R3 set the input impedance of the circuit at 50 kΩ, which should suit most electric guitars. If the circuit is housed in a diecast case, S1 can be a foot-operated switch and SK1 could be a stereo jack socket with the sleeve and ring connections connected to the battery negative and 0-V rail, respectively. Thus, the unit will switch on automatically whenever the guitar is plugged in. Connect the case for the earth side of the circuit. Expect reasonable life from a PP3 battery. (View)

An RC oscillator consisting of R1, R2, and C1, with the internal gates on the CD4060, generates a 1.5-second clock that is subsequently divided to a 12-h clock at the output. Other times are available for output or for AND-ing with the longer-duration signals. The output is capacitively coupled to the two-transistor driver to provide a several-second pulse every 12 hours.

Motorola MC1545G gated video amplifier is used with slope and differential voltage comparators to provide switching of output alternately between input signal fl at 2975 Hz and f2 at 2125 Hz. With gate level on pin 1 of MC1545G high (greater than 1.5 V), signal applied between pins 4 and 5 is passed and signal between pins 2 and 3 is suppressed. With gate low (less than 0.5 V), situation is reversed. To avoid generation of spurious frequencies and noise, gate control voltage is allowed to change only when rate of change of fl and f2 have same sign and values of fl and f2 themselves have same sign and equal magnitude within several millivolts. Data rate is about 170 Hz.- Gated Video Amplifier Applications-the MC1545, Motorola, Phoenix, AZ, 1976, AN-491, p 12. (View)

The circuit diagram of this programmable sequencer could be applied in a number of timing uses. Prior to the start of each interval, an audible tone is generated, and a seven-segment LED display shows the interval number. Prior to the end of that inerval, the buzzer sounds again. IC1 is a 2240 timer/counter device that clocks up to 256 periods, the durations of which are determined by resistor R1 and capacitor C1. The 2240 has its RESET and TRIGGER pins (10 and 11) wired via a push switch S1.The timer is used to operate a memory chip, IC2. The first 8 addressed bits are used by the timer/counter to step through the 256 steps available for each program. The other 6 bits are selected by an external switch network S2 to S7 which permits up to 26 programs, each of 256 steps. The 27C64 has eight outputs, which was enough for a single-digit LED display plus a piezo buzzer. (View)
