The proximity detector senses the passing of the PC board pieces as the wheel rotates, providing an output signal, which has a clean transition between high and low voltage levels, and is ideal for triggering counting or processing circuits. Next is the frequency-to-voltage converter, and, because a reasonable degree of accuracy is required, the LM2917N-8 IC has been chosen. The output from this IC is fed to two bar-graph ICs, which drive a 20-LED display. (View)

Transistors are biased on alternately by AC input voltage, to supply load current on alternate half-cycles. Silicon diodes D1 and D2 protect transistors from charging current of capacitive load when circuit is turned on, Capacitor discharge problems are minimized by use of diodes D3 and D4 in base circuits of transistors.-B.

When a device under test needs a dc voltage applied with ripple superimposed, this circuit can handle the task. The power supply for the +V input will need to be set about 20 percent higher than the desired output. The supply should be well regulated, because it directly affects the output volt-age. A function generator set to the desired waveform, amplitude, and frequency must be connected to the ripple input. Because of resistor tolerances, the final voltage adjustments will have to be made by monitoring the output. U2 will drive capacitive loads as long as the dc + peak ac doesn't exceed 200 mA. The frequency response of the ripple adder with a 5-V p-p output ranges from dc to past 100 kHz. R5 and C3 should be located as close as possible to U2. R1 can be altered to change the ratio between the input and output voltages. (View)

Uses diode matched quad with blocking-oscillator driving circuit. Negative input pulse triggers oscillator, generating pulse about 100 nsec wide, to forward-bias bridge diodes and reduce impedance between terminals 1 and 2 to about 5 ohms. Between pulses, diodes are reverse biased by capacitor charge and impedance between terminals rises to 1,000 meg.- Transistor Manual, Seventh Edition, General Electric Co., 1964, p 450. (View)

Here is the schematic diagram for JamMix. Note that nine out of ten sections from five MC1458C dual op amps are used. The INSTRUMENT jack, J1, provides a signal to IC1-a, which is a noninvert-ing buffer amplifier with a gain of 2. The gain is determined by R3 and R4. The amplified instrument signal is fed to audio-gain stage IC1-b, which is controlled by potentiometer R6. The circuit location of control R6 provides a desirable interplay with volume control on the guitar. Whenever the output of IC1-b exceeds about 2V p-p, light-emitting diodes LED1 and LED2 begin to illuminate and clip the audio signal, providing a high-quality distortion effect. The LEVEL control, RIO, sets the level of the output of the high-gain distortion stage IC4-a, which, in turn, drives the ganged potentiometers (R14a and R14b). Unity-gain amplifiers IC5-a and IC5-b feed summing amplifiers IC2-b and IC3-b, which in turn drive the external load connected to stereo OUT jack J3. The load can be either stereo headphones or additional external stages used for audio amplification. Integrated-circuit sections IC2-a and IC3-a are noninverting amplifiers, each with a gain of 2. Their inputs are the line-level stereo input signals, each having a gain of 2. Their outputs mix with the instrument signal in ampli-fiers IC2-b and IC3-b; both of these amplifiers also have a gain of 2. (View)
