A general-purpose four-digit counter can be made from a 74C925 IC and a few external components. That IC contains the counter, multiplexer, and seven-segment digit drivers, all in one convenient package. A couple of important notes about the circuit: The seven 220-Ω resistors (R1 to R7) are used as dropping resistors between the driver outputs and the segments of the display to protect the LEDs and keep the 74C925 from overheating. The four 2N3904 transistors (Q2 to Q5) act as amplifiers for the digital drivers to keep the display at full illumination. Switches S1 and 52, for reset and latch, respectively, are not crucial, but are highly recommended. The latch will freeze the count if needed. If the switches are not used, pin 12 needs to go to ground, and pin 5 to +V (the circuit's voltage supply). If more than four digits are needed, use the MM74C9261C. The functions are the same, but it has a carry out to cascade more than one chip and four-digit display. (View)

Used in nuclear physics to determine whether voltage or current input pulse is above or below predetermined level. Triggering threshold is set by adjusting bias of diode D1.

Regulating negative voltages with minimal dropout is now possible with the LT1185 universal voltage regulator. It supplies up to 3 A of output current with a dropout voltage guaranteed to be less than 1.2 V. The five-lead TO-220 package includes a pin that allows accurate current-limit adjustment for lower-current applications. Although aimed primarily at negative regulation applications, the LT1185 works equally well as a floating positive regulator. Output voltage is programmable from 2.3 to 30 V. (View)

Used in high-quality stereo cassette deck operating from AC line or battery. For U.S. applications, use 120-V power transformer. Power for cassette motor is taken directly from power-supply filter capacitors through 20-ohm 10-W resistor, with negative return line connecting directly to filter capacitors instead of chassis, to eliminate noise originating from pulsating current of cassette-drive motor-control circuit. Article gives all other circuits of cassette deck and describes operation in detail.-J. L.

Figure 1 is the long time timing circuit formed by the LM106. The circuit is VT1 (FET tube) mueller integral circuit, if the gain of the circuit is A, the timing constant can be increased to A times. The gain of VT1 is about 60, the equivalent capacitance converted to VT1 grid is increased to 60 times, namely, 60 C1 is equal to 60 μF, and the maximum value of the grid resistance R1 is lOMΩ, so the timing can reach 6005. S1 is a reset switch, it resets when connects to 1 and VT2 conducts, C1 discharges through VT2 and resets to prepare timing for the next time. LM106 is a comparator circuit, the output is connected to corresponding circuit and for timing control. (View)

Two 100-Ω, 1/2-W resistors in parallel connected across a 50-Ω cable with near-zero lead lengths will be very close to a 50-Ω termination with the SWR less than 1.1:1. However, adding the diode introduces capacitor loading that results in an SWR of 1.5:1 or more. In the circuit, the components on the 2-dB resistor pad preceding the diode/load compensate for this, as they are tailored to reduce the SWR to less than 1.1: 1. Although the power capability of this assembly is 5 W, forced-air cooling is required at the higher power levels, depending on the measurement period.Schematic and layout of the dummy-load/detector assembly: A. Input, 1 ft RG-58/U. Fan out braid on connectink end, twist in two segments, and solder to PC board with minimum lead lengths. B. Base, 3 in2 ×in×1/16 in PCB. C.

Inputs from sequential timer provide pulsed output and operate de-vices which stay on until next timed event. When an input goes low, output of four-input positive-NAND 7420 goes high, enabling the clock for 74175 4-bit D-type register. Since event-timer clock signal is used, outputs of register are coincident with clock. All outputs remain until one or more inputs goes low.-J.

The LT1580 linear regulator circuit shown achieves ±2 percent dc output-voltage accuracy at up to 7 A load current. This circuit restricts the output-voltage transients because of 200-mA to 4-A load-current steps to 65 mV p-p. The LT1580 has a separate remote sense input that maintains the dc voltage at the load accurately, independent of the load current. Output-voltage variation over the full load-current range, known as Load regulation, with remote sense connected (R3 = 0Ω) is very close to ±0 percent. The LT1580 transient response to 3.8-A-load current steps is 88.7 mV p-p (R3 = 0Ω). Resistor R3 is added to intentionally introduce some dc load regulation. The feedback resistors are chosen to set the no-load output voltage slightly higher than 3.5 V. At 4-A load current, the output voltage is regulated slightly below 3.5 V. (View)

If your repeater needs emergency power, this circuit might do. Connect a 12-V storage battery, a relay, and a 0.5-Ω 50-W resistor as shown. Normally, the battery charges at a low rate (less than 1 A) through the 0.5-Ω resistor. When power fails, current can flow from the battery through the diode for a few milliseconds, until the relay drops out and closes the contacts, completely eliminating any voltage drop. If your repeater doesn't use a 13.8-V power supply, you could purchase a 2-A battery charger and connect a 0.5- to l-Ω resistor (50 W) in series with the battery. This will charge at approximately 1/2 A and maintain the battery. (View)

This circuit for an HP-band converter will convert the 10-MHz WWW signal to a frequency in the 75-m ham band. The local oscillator section of NE-602 is available on pins 6 (base) and 7 (emitter). In this circuit, a 6.00-MHz crystal oscillator is provided by the NE-602. Capacitors C1 and C2 form the feedback network. The junction of C2 and XTAL1 can be connected to either the 15-Vdc line or ground (the former is shown here). The difference frequency between WWV's 10 MHz and the 6.00-MHz crystal frequency is 4.00 MHz, which is located at the top end of the 75-m ham band. Crystals with other frequencies will produce other output sum or difference frequencies, so tune the receiver appropriately if something other than 6.00 MHz is used. (View)
