Uses two 565 PLL ICs, locked to 800-Hz system clock but oscillating at 6.4 kHz and 4.8 kHz, to provide FSK signals for recording digital data on ordinary cassette tape. Harmonic suppression of square-wave output is taken care of automatically by high-frequency roll off characteristic of tape recorder. Incoming data determines which oscillator feeds its signal to recorder.- Signetics Analog Data Manual, Signetics, Sunnyvale, CA, 1977, p 859-860.

Instrumentation tape recorder technique folds recorded signal over and reuses same VCO range three times, at three different gains, for increasing dynamic recording range to over 10,000. Two comparators select one of three amplifier gains according to level of input signal and record selected gain on separate control track. During playback, control track signal eCON is used to select corresponding inverse gain for unfolding recorded signal. Level of input signal eIN, in range of 0-10 V, is sensed by comparators whose preset thresholds are determined by pots V1 and V2. If input is less than V1, both comparator outputs are low and section 1 of HA2405 four-channel opamp is selected for recording at 10 times input. If input is greater than V1 and less than V2, section 2 having gain of -2 is selected so direction of eREC is reversed. If eIN is greater than V2, both comparators are high and section 4 is selected for gain of +1/3, so eREC again reverses to cross VCO range for third time. Outputs of comparators are summed to form three-level signal for recording on control track.-J. R. White, Comparator Technique Expands Tape Recorder's Range, EDN Magazine, April 5, 1975, p 111, 113, and 115. (View)

Pseudo-random sequence built from shift resisters and exclusive-OR gates often are used to supply binary test data. If constructed from 100-kΩ ECL parts, such generators can run at up to 200 Mbits/s.Although an N-bit shift register can be connected to generate a sequence that repeats every 2N-1 bits,if it should start up in its all-zeros state, no output will be generated. What is needed is a counter to inject a 1 or to preload the shift register whenever N consecutive zeros are detected. The illustratesd circuit generates a 127-bit sequence. It provides a synchronization pulse once per repetition without using additional parts ,and it is guaranted to start. It uses the “wired-OR” property of ECL to generate a 1-bit period negative sync pulse when six zero are present (only five of these zeros are consecutive; a different set of N-1 bits might br needed if a longer shift register is used ). The sync pulse parallel-loads the shift register with the next state in the sequence. As a result, no seven-zero detector is needed to start the generator. (View)
