Has Butterworth attenuation characteristics and 42 db/octave cutoff slopes. Output is 50 v rms with low distortion, and dynamic range over 100 db. Second-order harmonic distortion is reduced by operating tube heaters at low voltage. Seven elements are varied simultaneously by switching different resistor and capacitor values to change cutoff frequencies. Article has three tables giving these values for high-pass cutoffs from 16 to 16,200 cps and low- pass cutoffs from 20 to 20,000 cps.-J. R.

Single-ended input is converted to balanced differential drive for feeding 75-ohm transmission line terminated by LED serving as input for optically coupled line receiver. Logic 1 input is inverted to logic 0 by inverter A, turning on a, and turning off out-put of gate B. At same time, output of inverter A is logic 1, which inhibits turn-on of Q1 and makes output of inverter D go low. Thus, logic 1 input means that current is sourced into line and LED by Q1 then sunk by output of D. Similarly, logic 0 input results in current being sourced into line by Q2 and sunk by inverter B, making diode D1 conduct and turn off LED of OCI receiver. -K.

Unregulated DC voltage is applied to power Darlington Q1 serving as switch that chops voltage so rectangular waveform is applied to RLC output filter. Average voltage to filter depends on duty cycle of switch. 555 timer operates in mono MVBR mode as pulse generator and pulse-duration modulator. R24 applies varying voltage to pin 5 to modulate pulse duration linearly with respect to applied voltage, Actions of O1, Q2, and Q6 maintain constant 3.6 V at arm of control pot. Q4 and Q5 provide 20-kHz clock pulse, above audible range. Overcurrent protection of transistors is provided by R11, SCR, and Q3. Adjust R11 so SCR turns on and shuts down circuit when current through R11 reaches 8 A. Circuit must be reset manually after overload. Q7 and R10 load circuit to prevent oscillation at low output volt-age and light load.-R. J. Walker, A 150 Watt Switch-Mode Regulator, CQ, March 1977, p 40-43 and 74-75. (View)

Used in digital voltmeters to convert AC waveform to full-waverectified DC equivalent. First 3130 opamp is used as polarity separator, with negative-going signals appearing across upper 10K resistor and positive-going signals across lower 10K resistor. Output of opamp exceeds these voltage drops by exactly diode voltage drop. Second opamp stage recombines positive and negative peaks. 5K trimming pot is adjusted so both peaks are equal height. Output of second opamp is negative-going full-wave replica of input signal. After filtering, output is average DC value in range from 0 to -1.5 V for 0-3 V P-P input.-D.

Charge and discharge paths of timing capacitor C1 in LM3900 IC connected as astable oscillator are individually controlled by D1 and D2. Value of R1a controls charge rate of C1 and period t1, while R1b controls discharge rate and period t2. Resistors can be pots for providing variable pulse width and repetition rate. For constant frequency with variable duty cycle, R1 can be single pot with ends going to D1 and D2 and tap going to output. For values shown, t1 is 1 ms and t2 is 4 ms.-W. G.
