First section of free-running 7413 Schmitt-trigger oscillator runs at one-third of desired TV-channel carrier frequency (about 20 MHz for channel3) and drives buffer section whose output is square wave at oscillator fundamental. Q1 modulates RF output by varying effective supply voltage to IC. Since standard video is 1 V P-P, modulation depth is about 20% with 5-V supply. Capacitive connection is made to TV set, using short lengths of 300-ohm line after removing regular antenna leads from set used as experimental display terminal for microprocessor. R1 determines frequency of oscillation; ad just for best reception.-W, Banks, The Waterloo RF Modulator, BYTE, Jan. 1978, p94. (View)

Developed for 60-Hz vertical deflection in high-resolution video display requiring highly linear ramp summed with second integral of ramp to give S shaping of deflection so sweep is linear on flat screen. Opamp A1 is connected as integrator that takes integral of constant voltage across zener D1. Period of integration is limited by UJT Q1 that resets integrating capacitor C1 when negative-going sync signal is applied to base 2 of Q1. Sawtooth linearity can be trimmed by adjusting ratio of R.4 to R5. Sync range is wide enough so external vertical hold can be eliminated. Amount of shaping can be adjusted with pot.-L. G.

Uses JFET biased slightly below pinchoff in combination with micropower opamp to convert zero-temperature-coefficient drain current to correspondingly stable reference voltage. Additional JFET J2 makes operation independent of value of unregulated input. Output impedance is low. For higher output impedance, reference voltage can be taken from wiper of R2, but buffering could then be required. R1, is adjusted to compensate for temperature coefficient arising from opamp supply current.-N. Sevastopoulos and J. Mayer, Micropower Reference Stays Stable, EDN Magazine, Sept. 5, 1978, p 158.

Single IC circuit uses two monostables to form pulse generator that covers over eight decades (0.054 Hz to 12.85 MHz) with only eight capacitors. Similarly, only eight capacitors cover pulse width range of over eight decades (60 ns to 18 s). Voltage control of frequency and pulse width can be obtained by connecting R2 and R4 to individual 1.5-4.5 V control voltage lines instead of to VCC. Frequency will then vary almost linearly with control voltage, while pulse width will vary almost inversely with control voltage. Capacitor values range from 1 pF to over 100 μF. -M. J.

Free-running pulse generator circuit uses diode to inhibit operation until sync signal is applied. Circuit then pulses until sync signal returns to original state. Complementary outputs having pulse widths of 100 ns swing essentially from ground to power supply voltage that can be anywhere in range from 0.65 V to 15V. Values used for R and C determine frequency. For oscillation, R must be in range of 1 kilohm to 1 megohm. For 5-V supply, frequency is 1.2/RC.-B.

Complementary sync waveforms J and K are fed to J and K inputs of 7473 flip-flop, which is clocked by 1-μs pulse that is delayed slightly longer than 10-μs horizontal sync interval. First clock pulse after 11-sμ interval changes flip-flop output Q to 1, where it stays for six clock periods before reverting to 0 state after vertical sync interval has passed.-W. G.
