IMPEDANCE_CONVERTER

Published:2009/7/14 7:18:00 Author:May

This circuit is a high-input-impedance-to-low-output-impedance converter circuit with unity voltage gain. In the circuit, an LM741 op amp, U1, is connected in a voltage-follower circuit that drives a complementary transistor-emitter-follower circuit. The output of the circuit can be used to drive low-current lamps, relays, speakers, etc. The feedback can be taken from the output to pin 2 of the LM741 if it is desired to include Q1and Q2 in the feedback loop.   (View)

NEGATIVE_IMPEDANCE_CONVERTER

Published:2009/7/14 7:17:00 Author:May

Recall that a resistor is a voltage-dependent current consumer; this circuit does the opposite.If you connect a battery to its input, the battery will get charged, with exactly the current that the battery would have delivered if you had connected it to a 1000-Ω resistor. If you put a 1000-Ωresistor in parallel with a 1000-Ω NIC, you'll get what looks like an infinite resistance. No matter what voltage you apply (within limits), the NIC will match it, and all the current flowing in the resistor will come from the NIC, not from the externally applied voltage.   (View)

PINK_NOISE_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/14 7:15:00 Author:May

The MM5837 is a digital white-noise generator IC. It produces a clean white noise signal with only a power source. White noise appears at the output of this IC when power is applied. The white-noise signal is then fed through a -3-dB/octave filter to give pink noise. Because the minimum rolloff with a single-stage RC (resistor/capacitor) filter is -6 dB/octave (because of capacitive reactance), an unconventional filter design is needed. The technique involves cascading several stages of lag compensation so that the zeros of one stage partially cancel the poles of the next stage. The result is shown in the schematic of the figure. The response of this circuit is accurate to within ±1/2 dB.   (View)

TRUE_RMS_DETECTOR

Published:2009/7/15 2:25:00 Author:Jessie

Circuit using National LM118 opamps provides DC output equal to RMS value of sine, triangle, square, or other input waveform with 2% accuracy for 20 V P-P inputs from 50 Hz to 100 kHz. Circuit is usable up to about 500 kHz but with lower accuracy. Direct coupling of input provides true RMS equivalent of combined DC and AC signals. Absolute-value amplifier A1 provides positive input current to A2 and A4 independent of signal polarity. Amplifiers A2-A5 and transistors Q1-Q4 form log multiplier/divider. To calibrate, 10-VDC input signal is applied and R10 is adjusted for 10-VDC output. Transistors should be matched and mounted on common heatsink if possible.-R. C.

BELL_SIMULATOR

Published:2009/7/14 6:08:00 Author:May

Uses AMI S2561 CMOS IC to simulate effects of telephone bell by producing tone signal that shifts between two predetermined frequencies at about 16 Hz. In applications where dial pulse rejection is not necessary, network inside dashed lines can be omitted and pins EN and D1 connected directly to VDD, which is typically 10V. Power is derived from telephone lines by diode-bridge supply. Values shown give tone frequencies of 512 and 640 Hz. Power output to 8-ohm loudspeaker is at least 50 mW, fed through 200:8 ohm trans-former.- Tone Ringer, American Microsystems, Santa Clara, CA, 1977, 52561, p 1.   (View)

PEAK_TO_PEAK_VOLTMETER

Published:2009/7/15 2:23:00 Author:Jessie

Two Optical Electronics opamps and two peak sense-andhold modules form positive-peak-sense memory that adds negative peak amplitude to entire signal so as to bias negative peak to zero. Input must be restricted to ±5 V full scale (10 V P-P). Output is 0 V for -5 V input and +10 V for +5 V input. Unsymmetrical signals such as +2 V to -8 V still give +10 V output.- Using Peak Sense Memories as Peak-to-Peak Detectors, Optical Electronics, Tucson, AZ, Application Tip 10275.   (View)

DIAL_TONE_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/14 6:07:00 Author:May

Simultaneous pairs of Touch-Tone frequencies used by telephone company are generated by adjustment-free circuit using Motorola Touch-Tone dialer with extenal 1-MHz crystal. Internal circuits of IC select proper division rates and convert outputs to synthesized sine waves of correct frequencies. Grounding one of row inputs by pressing key gives lower-frequency tone, while grounding one of column inputs gives higher-frequency tone. Special Touch-Tone keyboard provides this grounding action automatically when single key is pressed.-D. Lancaster, CMOS Cook-book, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1977, p 239-240.   (View)
