Gate IC1a is used in a conventional crystal oscillator circuit and IC1b acts as a buffer stage. IC2 is a CMOS 4024BE seven-stage binary counter and its clock input is fed with the 2.4576-MHz signal from IC1b. The first two stages of IC2 are not used, but the other five outputs provide baud rates from 1200 to 19,200 baud. Of course, the clock frequency is 16 times the baud rate and output frequencies from IC2 range from 19.2 to 307.2 kHz. (View)

This circuit is capable of indicating the HI or LO status of a digital circuit. The circuit in the figure will display the letter H for HI or +5 V and L for LO or 0 V. The 2N2222 NPN transistor serves as a driver for turning on the appropriate segments of the display, thereby producing the letter H. This condition will occur with a + 5-V signal applied to the base of the transistor. If a 0-V signal is detected at the base of the transistor, the letter L will be displayed, indicating that the transistor driver is turned off. (View)

Constant off-time switching regulators offer several advantages over constant-frequency designs The only potential problem is that the switching frequency Increases with nsmg input voltage In designs that have large ratios of the high line to low-line supply voltage,this frequency shift can get quite large As a result,the switching losses can become excesslve at high input voltages To offset this problem,the simple circuit shown detects the high input voltage condition and lowers the switching frequency to keep switching losses under control The frequency-shift circuit consists of D3,R8,Q1,and C12 When Vin exceeds the zener voltage plus the FET threshold,Q1 turns on and adds an extra timing capacitor(C12) in parallel with the timing capacitor (C10) This increases the off-time,lowering the frequency.

Combination of timer, optoisolator, and bridge-triggered triac keeps AC motor or other device energized for up to 1 h after control switch is depressed momentarily. Closing of switch drops voltage at pin 2 of timer below 1/3 VCC, making timer output go high and thus tum LED on. At same time, capacitor at pin 7 begins charging. Output re-mains high until oapacitor reaches 2/3 VCC, when outputis reset to low state and motor thereby turned off.-T Mazur,Solid-State Relays Offer New to Soutions to Many Old Problems, EDN Magazine, Nov 20,1973,p 26-32.

Circuit has good immunity to impulse noise because normal state of all transistors is on. This eliminates spurious timing cycles that sometimes occur in IC timers. At switch-on, C begins charging until its voltage makes Tr2 start conducting; this in turn makes other three transistors switch on. Regeneration action then discharges C to about 0.6 V. Timer is started either by applying VCC or opening S1. Timing period depends on value of VCC.-J. L. Linsley Hood, One-Shot Timer Circuit, Wireless World, Nov. 1975, p 520. (View)

This circuit adds 120 degrees of phase shift to a 50- or 60-Hz input, regardless of the frequency and amplitude fluctuations of that input. The circuit configures a 2N4093 JFET as a voltage-controlled resistor whose value is proportional to the phase difference between the input and the output. The values of C1 R1 and rDS determine the amount of phase shift (120°this case.)A 555 timer implements a phase detector whose two inputs are related to the input and output. The input and output, respectively, drive IC1B and IC1C, which operate as zero-crossing detectors. D1 and D2 limit the positive-going pulse's at the 555 inputs. Thus, the falling edges of IC1B and IC1C's outputs control the 555 timer. The timer's output signal stays low for a time that is proportional to the phase shift between the circuit's input and output.The average value of the timer's output and an offsetting voltage drive IC1D. R2 and C2 filter IC1D's output. The resultant signal controls the JFET. The potentiometer sets the control at a value for which the phase shift between input and output is equal to 120 degrees when the input signal frequency is 50 or 60 Hz. Any differences between the input and output changes the 555 output's average value, thus ultimately modifying the control voltage and the JFET's resistance.To calibrate the circuit, apply a 50-Hz sine wave with an amplitude of less than 1 Vpp to the input and adjust the potentiometer until the phase shift reads 120°on a digital phase meter. For input frequency variations between 40 and 60 Hz, the phase shift changed by a maximum of ±0.17% (equivalent to an offset of only 0.02°/Hz). The average value at IC1D's noninverting input is 3.864 V. (View)

The header blocks plug onto the ID pins of the SCSI hard disks. Through the DIP switch, those IDs can be reassigned at will. In any given configuration, whichever physical drive has the lowest SCSI ID becomes the boot drive. The others are allocated in order by SCSI ID. (View)
