GLITCH_FREE_CLIPPER

Published:2009/7/12 20:57:00 Author:May

Adding a simple clamping circuit to a Harris 2620 high-speed op amp produces a glitch-free amplifier/ clipper. The op amp pin that controls the device's bandwidth is a high-impedance, isolated input. This pin also tracks the device's output voltage.Therefore, D1, D2, R1, R2, and R3 will clamp the amplifier's output voltage only when the amplifier's input voltage exceeds your clamping-voltage limits. VD is the diode drop of D1 or D2. The two clamp voltages, VA+VD and VB-VD, are:where VX and VY are the clamping circuit's bias voltages. Choosing R1 lets you determine the values of R2 and R3. Try a value for R1 around 3 kΩ.One example of this circuit had clamping voltages of ±3.7 V and exhibited THD below -75 dB for a sinusoidal, 30-kHz input signal. When the input signal increased beyond the ±3.7-V clamping voltage, the clipper symmetrically clamped the output voltage with no glitches in the waveform.   (View)

APPLIANCE_TIMER

Published:2009/7/12 20:50:00 Author:May

Controls intervals up to 1 h in 1-s increments as programmed by thumb wheel switches S1 and S2. Circuit is basically two-stage programmed counter driven by 1-s clock derived from 60-Hz power line. A1 is connected as divide-by-60 counter triggered by 60-Hz signal developed across D2. 1-Hz output from A1 triggers A2 which in tum triggers A3, all programmable timers.

CODE_PRACTICE_OSCILLATOR

Published:2009/7/12 20:49:00 Author:May

This versatile code-practice oscillator has a variable frequency and volume control. The unit is especially suitable for use by small groups that are interested in learning and practicing code. A single 4049 CMOS hex inverting buffer is the heart of the oscillator, with inverters U1-a and U1-b making up the variable audio-oscillator circuit. The oscillator's output is coupled to the speaker-driver circuit through the CW (Morse code) key S1. The audio frequency of the oscillator (hence, its tone) is varied by the potentiometer. R3 is used to vary the speaker's volume.   (View)

INFRARED_CODE_PRACTICE_TRANSMITTER

Published:2009/7/12 20:46:00 Author:May

A 555 timer, IC1, is connected in an audio-oscillator circuit with its frequency set by potentiometer R6. Transistor Q1, with the CW key up, is biased on, thereby holding pin 5 of IC1 low and keeping it turned off. The 555 timer's output, at pin 3, ties to the gate of a power hexFET, Q2, which drives the three IR emitters, LED1 to LED3. Placing the CW key in the down position turns the 555 oscillator on. That sends out the audio tone signal via IR.   (View)

WIRELESS_FM_CODE_PRACTICE_TRANSMITTER

Published:2009/7/12 20:45:00 Author:May

The circuit shown is a low-power, tone-modulated FM transmitter that can be used with any FM broadcast receiver for code practice. Transistor Q1 and its associated components make up a phaseshift audio-frequency generator circuit. Potentiometer R11 sets the tone frequency. Transistor Q2 is connected in a high-frequency RE oscillator circuit that operates in the FM broadcast band. Potentiometer R12 sets the modulation level. Transistor Q3 operates as a switch, turning on the FM transmitter each time the CW key is closed. Coil L1 is a homemade air-wound coil. Take a 6 1/2-in length of 20-gauge enamel-covered wire and close-wind it around a 1/4-in-diameter form; leave about 1/4 in free at each end. Remove the insulation from the ends and slide the coil off the form. The overall length of the finished coil should be about 1/4 in. Set R11 and R12 to midposition and close the CW key. Then set your FM receiver to a clear spot on the low end of the dial and slowly adjust C8. Once the tone is heard, R11 can be set for the desired tone frequency and the tone level set by R12. If your oscillator won't tune to the top end of the band, carefully stretch the windings of L1 and retune. The circuit's operating range can be increased by adding a very short antenna to the emitter of Q2.   (View)
