SWEEP_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/14 7:09:00 Author:May

Both IC2 and IC4 are Exar XR2206 monolithic function generators; IC4 functions as a ramp generator, and IC2 functions as a generator of sine, triangular, and square waveforms. Dual operational-amplifier IC1 produces a scaled, level-shifted ramp output that is capable of deflecting an oscilloscope's horizontal sweep. This ensures that the sweep generator and the oscilloscope's sweep circuit are always properly synchronized. Any frequency of interest along the horizontal axis of an oscilloscope that is coupled to this function generator can be measured with an extemal frequency counter by manually tuning the function generator's VCO instead of sweeping it. The performance characteristics of the sweep/function generator are summarized in Table 1. The generator's sweep rate and frequency can be set by front-panel rotary six-position switches, SWEEP RATE switch S5 and FREQUENCY switch S2. The VCO control R30 manually tunes the VCO. Table 2 lists the sweep ranges of the function generator. Sweep ranges other than those covered in ranges 1 to 4 can be set up as required on positions 5 and 6. Selecting the VCO setting on the front-panel toggle switch S4 permits tuning any fixed frequency within the total frequency range of the instrument with both the FREQUENCY switch S2 and VCO control R30.   (View)

ULTRA_FAST_MONOCYCLE_GENERATOR_

Published:2009/7/14 7:03:00 Author:May

This circuit (Fig. 1a) can test an ultra-fast sample-and-hold amplifier, producing the monocycle shown (Fig.1b) when triggered with a TTL input pulse. The comparator (U1) squares up the input pulse and drives the AND gate (U2) with complementary outputs. The hysteresis resistors are chosen to provide reliable triggering despite the 50-Ω loading of the TTL input. The noninverting comparator output feeds a 2-ns coaxial delay line, causing the signal to be delayed with respect to the inverting output (Fig. 2). This forces the outputs of the AND gate to change state for a period of time equal to the delay. The inverting output of the AND gate drives a second 2-ns delay line, delaying the negative-going pulse, with respect to the positive-going pulse (Fig. 2). The power combiner (U3) sums the signals, producing a monocycle output. U4 amplifies the signal. Shorter pulses could be produced by shortening the delay lines and replacing U2 with an AND gate from a faster ECL family.   (View)

SIMPLE_FREQUENCY_GENERATOR_

Published:2009/7/14 7:00:00 Author:May

The circuit diagram for a simple frequency generator that uses a divide-by-N counter, based on a single 74HC161, is shown. Although IC1a and IC1b are NOR gates, in this circuit, they are used as inverters in a crystal clock generator. This provides an accurate 2-MHz output signal that is fed to the input of the divide-by-N circuit based on IC2 and IC1c. An inversion is needed between the comparator output and the negative active preset enable input, and this inversion is provided by IClc.Unfortunately, setting the division rate is more convoluted than simply writing the required value for N to the data inputs (D0 to D3). Table 1 shows the division rates and output frequencies for the 16 input codes for IC2. If the data inputs of IC2 are controlled via inverters, the division rate is one more than the value written to the port. Without a hardware inversion, a software inversion is required.This is actually quite easy, and it is just a matter of deducting the required division rate from 16 (e.g., for a division rate of 4, a value of 12 is written to IC2). Notice that the minimum division rate is 2, and that writing a value of 15 to IC2 will not give a division by 1.   (View)

300_BAUD_BIT_BOFFER_TRANSMITTER

Published:2009/7/14 6:54:00 Author:May

Permits recording of serial data on ordinary Iow-cost cassette tape recorders for bulk storage of data to be used later in microprocessor. Requires 19,200-Hz reference input to terminal XC from external clock. Feedback from sine-wave synthesizer IC1 to dividby-4 counter IC2 automatically synchronizes system so sine waves automatically switch just before zero crossing each time serial data changes from 1 to 0 or back again. Output consists of 16 half sine waves at 2400 Hz for mark or digital 1 and 8 half sine waves at 1200 Hz for space or digital 0, for feed to input of cassette recorder. Circuit eliminates errors commonly encountered when attempting to record square waves on tape with low-cost recorder.-D. Lancaster, TV Typewriter Cookbook, Howard W.
