Used in solid-state five-band communication receiver. VFO input (5-5.5 MHz) goes directly to amplifiers Q5 and Q6 when bandswitch is on 3.5 or 14 MHz. When VFO signal is applied to balanced mixer CR7-CR10, product is at 9 MHz. Diodes should be carefully selected for equal voltage drops t20 mV at various current values such as 0.75, 2, 10, and 20 mA. When bandswitch is on 7, 21, or 28 MHz, VFO signal is mixed with output of FET crystal oscillator and filtered before being applied to Q5 and Q6. FET oscillators a1-a4 are energized by +12 V from bandswitch, with diodes CR1-CR4 selecting output. Crystals are parallel-resonant with 32-pF Load. Y2, Y3, and Y4 are third-overtone type.-P. Moroni, Solid-State Communications Receiver, Ham Radio, Oct. 1975, p 32-41. (View)

The solid-state level indicator consists of a string of 10 LEDs in one package. With a low-level signal input, all LEDs are off. As the signal increases, more LEDs light up, until finally all10 are turned on to indicate the maximum level. The heart of the circuit shown in this figure is the National Semiconductor LM3915. The LM3915 contains a precision voltage reference, resistor divider chain, and 10 comparators to drive the LEDs. This IC also contains current-limiting circuitry that limits the brightness of the LEDs without the need for separate resistors, and logic to select either a bar graph or a moving-dot display. (View)

Circuit converts transmission parameter of spectrophotometer to more useful density parameter, which in turn can be converted to exposure parameter. Optical Electronics 2357 opamps at input provide 90-dB dynamic range for DC to 1 kHz or40-dB range for DC to 100 kHz, operating basicallyas current amplifiers. 9827 is used as wideband opamp in unity-gain subtracter configuration. Additional 376 opamps are used only for convening to exposure parameter.

The concept is achieved by using two input modules, namely the sound input circuit and the signal mixer circuit, and selecting between them by means of a switch. The signal is then processed by an integrated circuit (IC3) and associated components, which convert a rising and falling voltage into a rising and falling LED display. The buzzer output module is connected so that when the appropriate LED lights, the buzzer sounds, indicating the excess level warning. (View)

Connection shown for National MM5736 calculator chip counts either up or down by 4s, as might be required for keeping track of inventory in bin when parts are packaged in groups of 4. To count by numbers other than 1, desired number is entered into calculator during manual start operation. When S2 is pushed, counter adds 4 to accumulated total. When S3 is pushed, counter subtracts 4 from accumulated total. Logic ele-ments provide self-starting action of counter. -M.

Six independent 2-min timers, each using half of SN7473N IC, are set in sequence by unique input switch as sheets of exposed paper are inserted in developer at about 20-s intervals. When capacity of six prints is reached, Tr12 turns on light to tell operator that no more prints should be inserted until control logic activates alarm signifying 2-min time for first sheet inserted. Audible bleep is repeated as each subsequent sheet reaches its 2-min development time. Article gives all circuits and explains operation in detail. Two-input NAND gates (each 1/4 of SN7400N) and inverters (each1/6 of SN7404N) are used to steer reset pulses. Similar twoinput NAND gates are used to form fully compatible input pulses from input switch control, each having correct level, rise time, and fall time, without contact bounce that might cause spurious starting of several timers simultaneously.-R. G. Wicker, Photographic Development Timer, Wireless World, April 1974, p 87-90. (View)
