Gain of non-inverting opamp can be programmed with standard digital logic levels. With input at 0 V, Q1 is turned on but is held out of saturation by Schottky diode D2. Resulting opamp gain is (R1 + R2)/R2.If R2 is 1.13 kilohms and R1 10 kilohms, gain is 10. When input is 5 V, Q1 is off and gate of Q2 is driven to -15 V. Gain now becomes (R1 + R2 + R3)/(R2 + R3). If R3 is 8.87 kilohms, gain is 2.-K. Karash, Gain-Programmable Amplifier, EEE Magazine, Sept. 1970, p 89. (View)

PHASE DRIVE-Half of 9614 polarity-reversing line driver feeds pair of Hewlett-Packard HCPL-2602 optically coupled line receivers through coax cable. Cable-grounding switches A and B change performance Closing only switch B enhances common-mode rejection but reduces propagation delay slightly. Closing both switches optimizes data rate. Schottky diodes at receiver inputs improve data rate, NAND flip-flop at output greatly improves system noise rejection in split-phase termination of line.- Optoelectronics Designer's Catalog 1977, Hewlett-Packard, Palo Alto,CA,1977,p158-159.

The temperature sensor is a resistor, R4, with negative temperature coefficient (NTC); the resistance of such a resistor drops when its temperature rises. Resistors R4 and R3 are part of a resistance bridge whose variable branch consists of R1, R2, and P1. The metering diagonal is connected to the inputs of comparator IC1a. The voltage at the inverting input of IC1a is set with P1 to a level that with normal temperatures is a little lower than that at the noninverting input. When the temperature rises, the resistance of R4 falls. This results in the comparator's changing state (to low), which causes the piezo buzzer to sound. Care should be taken to ensure that the voltage across the metering diagonal does not drop below 3.5 V to prevent the common-mode dynamic range of the LM393 from being exceeded. The NTC can be a 5- or a 10-kΩ type. It must be in good thermal con-tact with the heat source. Preset P1 must be set to a position where, after the part or device being monitored has attained normal operating temperature, the buzzer just does not sound. The buzzer must be a 5-V type. (View)

Two sections of LM3900 quad linear opamp provide linear response for inputs of 2-12 VDC, Circuit can be adjusted with 1-megohm pot so 4-V input produces 400-Hz square wave at output, 5 V gives 500 Hz, etc. First opamp is connected as integrator and second as Schmitt trigger. When Schmitt output is high, transistor is turned on and diverts current away from noninverting input so integrator output ramps down toward ground.-C.

Diode network and detector provide output proportional to square of input voltage. Input range of 40 db is split into two 20-db segments. Each stage saturates and gives constant output for voltages above operating range. For voltages below operating range, stage is cut off and has zero output. Combination of two stages gives desired square-law characterisitic. Resistor values are: R1A, R3A a=3.18K,R1B=57.9K, R3B=18.75K, R5 =3K、R7=10, R2A, R4B =5.06K, R4A =0.86K, R2B =64.2K,R6 = 300 and R8, R9 = 990.-R. J.

Combination of phase splitter and DAC provides accurate synchronization of high-stability VCO with external reference frequency. IC divides reference frequency by 4 and provides two signals 90° apart, while IC2 divides VC0 frequency similarly by 4. Phase relationship between outputs of IC3 depends on whether VCO is higher or lower than reference, while frequency of IC3 outputs depends on difference between oscillator and reference frequencies, Schmitt triggers IC4 and IC5 supply clock and up/down control to counter IC6. If VC0 frequency is low, IC6 counts up at rate proportional to frequency difference and delivers increasing control voltage to VCO as required for increasing oscillator frequency.-H. W.
