LOW_COST_TIMER

Published:2009/7/14 5:16:00 Author:May

Want a simple timer at practically no cost? Depending on what parts you have, you might be able to build this circuit for less than a dollar. When S1 is closed, C1 begins to charge through R1 toward the 9-V supply. When the voltage at the input of the buffer, pin 3, reaches about 70 percent of the supply voltage, the output switches high for an 0N-time delay function. As long as S1 remains closed, the circuit will maintain the high output at pin 2. Opening S1 resets the timer by allowing C1 to discharge through D1 and R2.   (View)

Uses separate circuits haying threshold provisions for both positive and negative peaks, for reading data stored on cassette tape at 15 in/s. Head output signal is 10 mV. Phase encoding is used with 1600 flux reversals per inch. Circuit design procedure is given. Two Motorola MC1458 gain stages feed head output to passive differentiators C2-R7 and C3-R11 to generate zero crossing. Corner frequency for each differentiator is 86 kHz. IC3 and IC4 process negative-going peaks, while IC5 and IC6 process positive-going peaks. Outputs of IC4 and IC6 drive T flip-flops serving as data inputs to IC7 and IC10.- The Recovery of Recorded Digital Information in Drum, Disk and Tape Systems, Motorola, Phoenix, AZ, 1974, AN-711, p 9.   (View)

CASSETTE_FILE_UPDATE

Published:2009/7/14 5:14:00 Author:May

Interface circuit controls two tape decks for updating mailing lists or other sequential files stored on magnetic tape in audio cassettes. Two cassette tape recorders are required, one for input (reading files) and one for output (writing files). Micro-processor tape input and output circuits are connected to appropriate tape unit as shown. Only one cassette operates at any given time. Optocouplers prevent polarity or voltage problems between tape motor and microprocessor. Tape functions are under software control. Soft-ware delay of about is allows tape motor to come up to speed before recording starts. Records are in numerical or other logical sequence, so updating requires only one pass. On update, old cassette file is read into microprocessor for deletion, change, or addition of data, and corrected data is written on new cassette. Article covers use for maintaining Christmas card and other mailing lists, payroll records sequenced by Social Security number, and other sequential lists.-W. D. Smith, Fundamentals of Sequential File Processing, BYTE, Oct. 1977, p 114-116, 118, 120, 122, 124, and 126-127.   (View)

PROGRAMMABLE_0_825_Hz_PULSES

Published:2009/7/14 5:13:00 Author:May

Inexpensive pulse generator is programmable in 0.4-Hz steps from 0 to 825 Hz, and can be modified to extend range to 200 kHz, Circuit uses 555 connected in astable mode, with timing resistor RA replaced by 11 sets of timing resistors and switching transistors. Inputs and outputs are TTL-compatible. When bit input is high (0), its associated transistor is turned off. When bit input is low (1), transistor is on, allowing C1 to charge. When more than one input is low, charging is through parallel combination of resistors. Width of output pulse T1 is constant over frequency range.-E. G.

PREFERRED_30_MC_I_F_PULSE_AFC

Published:2009/7/15 3:30:00 Author:Jessie

For use in pulse-modulated systems, to maintain a difference of 30 Mc between Transmitter and local oscillator frequencies. If local oscillator is required to operate 30 Mc below transmitter, discriminator diodes V3 and V4 should be reversed. Circuit is a hunting system, because local oscillator is swept over band of frequencies to find correct operating point. During search, phantastron V8 acts as saw tooth generator to provide sweep voltage for control element of local oscillator (repeller of klystron).-NBS, Handbook Preferred Circuits Navy Aeronautical Electronic Equipment, Vol. I, Electron Tube Circuits, 1963, PC 53, p 53-2.   (View)
