DIGITAL_SAWTOOTH_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/17 2:04:00 Author:Jessie

This straightforward circuit uses an NE555 timer as an oscillator, a 7493 counter chain and a DAC0806 D/A converter. The counter output feeds the DAC, producing a linearly increasing voltage, which drives an op amp and a dc-level insertion circuit. The clock frequency must be 256 times the desired sawtooth output frequency.   (View)

TEMPERATURE_COEFFICI_ENT_COMPUTER

Published:2009/7/11 5:16:00 Author:May

Circuit automatically measures and calculates temperature coefficients of analog circuits or devices. Silicon diode CR1 is used as temperature probe having forward drop of about 2 mV/ ℃. R adjusts output scale factor, FET-input opamp A1 converts forward voltage drop of temperature probe into high-level analog voltage that varies 325 mV/℃ from -10V at +55℃ to 10 V at -5℃. Output of A1 is applied to sample-and-hold circuit, while analog voltage from device under test is applied to second sample-and-hold. Momentary closing of S1 causes volt-age and temperature data to be stored in sample-and-hold circuits at start of test to bias a2 and A3. Outputs of these opamps can be positive or negative, butare made poshive by unity-gain absolute-value opamps A4 and A5. From these outputs, analog divider calculates temperature coefficient.-R. C.

TRANSISTOR_TESTER_1

Published:2009/7/11 5:14:00 Author:May

Determlnes maxlmum frequency at which unknown transistor will still maintain reasonable current gain, and tells whethertransistor is NPN or PNP. Based on fact that emitter-base junction of transistor is equivalent to crystal diode, conducting in one direction only. Direction depends on transistor type. Setting of S2 which gives meter reading identifies transistor type. Frequency-limit circuit is self-excited oscillator in which frequency de. pends on plug-in coil. If meter reads when 60MHz coil is used, transistor is capable of handling 60 MHz; if no reading, change to lower-frequency coils one by one until reading is obtained. To check battery, press S4; lamp should have full brilliance. CR1 is 1N34A.-H. Hanson, How High Will It Go?, QST, April 1974, p 32-33 and 39.   (View)

CUTTING_NOISE_PICKUP_WITH_REMOTE_GAIN

Published:2009/7/17 2:00:00 Author:Jessie

At times, gain control that is remote from the amplifier and speaker is required. However, merely extracting the gain-control potentiometer from a typical amplifier and placing it remotely will contaminate the signal with pickup. One simple solution is to use an analog multiplier as a gain-control element. The 2.5-kΩ resistor and the remote gain-control potentiometer form an attenuator of the +15-V supply, whose output is filtered through a low-pass RC filter. The resistance of the twisted pair of leads is negligible compared with the potentiometer's 5-kΩ resistance. When the remote gain-control potentiometer is at maxim Um resistance, the control voltage, Ec,at pin 3 of the multiplier is at a nominal value of + 10 Vdc. This results in a maximum input amplitude to the amplifier, which is equal to the original input signal es Correspondingly, when the gain-control potentiometer is set to zero resistance, the signal input to the amplifier is nominally zero. Any ac signals that might be picked up by the long run of wire are effectively attenuated by the large time constant of the low-pass filter.   (View)
