PULSE_STRETCHER

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

Circuit also serves as analog one-shot memory and as peak sense-and-hold with automatic reset. Digital output is logic 0 until CT and RT have decayed by onetime constant, when it goes to logic 1. Pulse duration is RCTC. Analog output amplitude is equal to input amplitude, and duration is same as digital pulse. Optical Electronics 9053 comparator automatically resets circuit after timing interval unless reset is performed manually. Analog output can be used as pulse stretcher with known and controllable pulse duration.- Analog 'One-Shot'-Pulse Stretcher, Optical Electronics, Tucson, AZ, Application Tip 10292.   (View)

DYNAMIC_RANGE_COMPRESSOR

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

Transistorized version of vacuum-lube drawdown limiter or compressor amplifier limits dynamic range of any negative input signal without a threshold or saturation level. Output is approximately proportional to cube root of input, thus giving effective dynamic range compression. Good over audio range, yet can operate up to megacycle region if used with suitable high-frequency transistors and series inductance to varistor. Maximum input signal of 200 my produces 3 v output, corresponding to gain of 15 at maximum permissible compression.-D. E. Lancaster, Dynamic Range Compressor, EEE, 11:2, p 25.   (View)

SYMMETRY_CORRECTION

Published:2009/7/14 4:58:00 Author:May

Low-cost external correction circuit for MC3420 switching-mode regulator ensures balanced operation of power transformer in push-pull inverter configuration. Circuit senses voltage impressed on primary of T1 through sensing secondary S2, for integration by opamp A1 so voltage on C represents volt-second product applied to T1. During conduction period of Q1, voltage on C ramps up to some positive value and output of A2 is low. Conduction period for output 2 then begins, Q2 turns on, and C ramps down to 0 V. A2 output then goes high, inhibiting output 2 and Q2. Times for Q2 to charge and discharge are equal so conduction periods are equal-H.

THEREMIN

Published:2009/7/14 4:56:00 Author:May

The theremin uses several RF oscillators connected to antennas to both generate audio frequencies and vary the volume of the note produced. The pitch is generated by heterodyning two oscillators, one fixed and one variable, and the volume is controlled by another pair of oscillators in which the beat frequency that is generated is used to derive a control voltage for the volume-control circuit.   (View)

REZEROING_AMPLIFIER

Published:2009/7/14 4:55:00 Author:May

Used where input signal has unknown and variable DG offset, as in telemetry applications. Rezero command line is enabled while ground reference signal is applied to input, making C1 charge to level proportional to DC offset of system. When rezero line is deactivated, amplifier becomes conventional inverter, subtracting system offset and giving true ground-referenced output. For 10-V full-scale system requiring 0.1% (10-mV) accuracy, amplifier needs rezeroing reference every 100 ms.- Linear Applications, Vol. 1, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA, 1973, AN-63, p 1-12.   (View)

VACUUM_TUBE_THEREMIN_VOLUME_CONTROL_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/14 4:53:00 Author:May

Gain is controlled by a variable negative grid bias in an audio amplifier stage. This oscillator produces a negative dc voltage by means of a rectifier. As a hand is brought up to the volume plate antenna, this loads the oscillator, reducing output and hence the negative dc output. This means increased gain for the controlled audio stage.   (View)

D_C_SUPPLY_FOR_FLUOURESCENT_LAMPS

Published:2009/7/14 5:06:00 Author:May

Lamp operates directly from d-c supply, without a-c conversion. Transistors form constant-current source that controls lamp current. Q3 is controlled by Schmitt trigger Q1.Q2. When lamp current exceeds preset value, voltage drop across 5.6-ohm resistor turns on Q1, thereby turning off Q2 and Q3. When lamp current falls, Q3 comes on again. To start, pushbutton closes circuit through lamp heaters and shunts 5.6-ohm resistor to give faster heating. When button is released, voltage surge caused by series inductor ignites lamp. Control circuit then varies lamp current 25% above and below its average value at 1-kc rate. Regulator losses are only 3 w.-D. B.
