Serves as digitally programmable frequency source covering 10 to 2550 Hz for systems under microprocessor control. Frequency change is essentially instantaneous, assuring immediately valid data. Uses MC1408L8 8-bit monolithic D/A converter to supply constant current for charging C in negative direction. When capacitor voltage exceeds lower negative threshold voltage at pin 3 of LM311 high-impedance comparator A1, comparator changes state and sets 7476 flip-flop.This turns on Q1 through level-shifter Q2, discharging C until it exceeds higher threshold voltage at pin 2 of A2. Flip-flop then resets and C begins charging again. Second half of 7476 serves as divider. To cover above frequency range, values should be: R3.9K; R1 27K; R2 10K; R3 2.2K; C 0.1 μF. Circuit gives 8-bit accuracy. Design equations are presented in article.-A. Helfrick, Eight-Bit Frequency Source Suited for μP Control, EDN Magazine, Sept. 20, 1976, p 116 and118. (View)

Special push-pull input stage using low-noise UHF transistors gives average preamp noise figure as low as 2.2 dB. Can be used with 300-ohm line of broad-band UHF antenna without usual balun trans-former or differential input stage. Balun is used after amplifier to transform push-pull output to input of single-ended second stage without de-grading noise figure. Developed for use with new deep-fringe-area UHF TV antenna having three flat in-line director elements, for over-the-air reception of UHF TV programs in areas previously having no watch able pictures.-J. E. Kluge, Advanced Antenna Design and an Ultra-low-Noise Preamplifier Extend UHF Viewing Area, IEEE Transactions on Broadcasting, March 1977, p 17-22.

Flybcck or ringing choke oscillator is free-running when voltage on regulator capacitor C2 is less than zener voltage for reference diode D2, but converter action is halted when desired output voltage is reached. Circuit then periodically replaces charge lost by capacitor leakage.Energy conversion efficiency can therefore exceed 50% theoretical upper limit of most conventional photoflash circuits.-R. J.

Use of switching regulator for voltage conversion permits generation of higher output voltage along with polarity reversal. LM311 operates as free-running MVBR with low duty cycle. Frequency is determined by C1 and R5 and duty cycle by divider R3-R4. Extra loop function performed by Q1 and zener operating in conjunction with resistor network modifies oscillator duty cycle until desired out-put level is obtained. Nominal frequency is 6 kHz, duty cycle is 20% for -15 V output, and maximum load current is 200 mA.
