Uses 32×SPROM togenerate up to six characters of amateur call Squares in matrix are numbered 1-32 horizontally and 1-8 vertically starting from upper left. and black squares forming call letters are programmed as 1s in PROM Pin connections shown for PROM are valid for AMI 27508/27509,82S23/82S123,MM5330/MM5331、HPROM 8256、and IM5600/5610. Two 7493 binary counters address all 32 words in ROM, with clock rate (2-3 MHz) determining length of characters on screen. 74151 multiplexer advances to next ROM output once per scan Line, under control of 7493 3-bit counter clocked by horizontal drive pulses from sync generator of ATV transmitter. Positive-going horizontal drive pulses reset 5-bit word counters, while positive-going vertical drive pulses reset 3-bit line counters, to make characters appear in same position on screen for all fields.-J. Pulice, Amateur Television Callsign Generator, Ham Padio, Feb. 1977, p 34-35.

Closed-loop system designed around Motorola MC1408 8-bit D/A converter uses clocked binary counter feeding converter to produce staircase ramp function. output of converter is compared to unknown input signal, and clock pulse is terminated when levels being compared are equal. Clock pulses are generated at 330 kHz by two cross-coupled NAND gates in MC7400. UJT oscillator resets both sets of counters so unknown voltage is re-sampled every 0.5 s, MC7448 BCD to 7-segment decoders convert outputs of BCD counters to format for LED displays. With values shown, meter can measure up to 2.55Vin 10-mV steps. Different full-scale values can be obtained by using input voltage dividers or by replacing unity-gain input buffer with suitable fixed-gain buffer.-D.

Pulse width is variable from about 50 ns to over 500 ms by adjusting only two components. Uses VCO portion of Signetics NE562 as pulse generator and 74121 mono MVBR to ad just pulse width. Variable capacitors C3 and C6 are broadcast-band type. VCO will operate to 30 MHz, limiting factor being stray capacitance and minimum of tuning capacitor. Low-frequency limit of VCO is about 1 Hz, obtained when C3 is 300 μF.-A. Plavcan, Pulses Galore! , 73 Magazine, Jan. 1978, p 194-195. (View)

Combination of SCR and line relay gives faster action than circuit breaker for protection against current overload. Closing S1 momentarily energizes relay, completing current path from supply to load. Overload current increases voltage drop across R1 to above 0.65 v, switching on SCR and thereby shorting relay coil to make it open. S1 must be pressed again to reset relay. For adjustable dropout, gate of SCR can be connected to pot placed across R1.-R. Quong, Resettable Electronic Fuse Consists of SCR and Relay, Electronics, Sept. 15, 1977, p117. (View)
