Interface circuit shown permits use of single-opamp tester for testing quads without major modification of tester's original function. Interface operates on power available from tester, which can be Teledyne/Philbrick 5102 or current Tektronix or ESI testers. CM0S input transmission gates IC1 and IC2, supply input signals to sections of device under test (DUT). Gate control signals are supplied by section selector S1; switch can be automated by using two-line BCD selection, Same switch also activates reed relay that cona nects respective amplifier section to load and output monitoring circuits of tester. LEDs indicate section under test. Interface can be used with LM124, CA124, and MC3503 series of quad opamps.-A. C. Svoboda, Use a Single Op-Amp TesterforQuads, EDN Magazine, March 5, 1975, p76.

Developed to enhance ability to read CW despite heavy contest traffic or other QRM. Two high-Q filters, one at each end of 400-Hz CW filter in receiver, create separate audio channels to give effect of stereo.Transistors at outputs of channels provide extra current gain for driving low-impedance stereo headphones. CW signal at 800 Hz then appears to comefrom left, 1200-Hz signal from right, and in between frequencies at various azimuth angles. Illusion of direction makes it easier for operator to concentrate on desired signal in presonce of others having slightly different frequencies. L1 and C1 form filter for 1200-Hz channel, while L2 and C2 form 800-Hz filter for other channel.-R. L. Anderson, Stereo-a New Type of CW Filter, 73 Magazine, March 1976, p 48-50. (View)

Figure 99-l(a)'s circuit exhibits a high-output impedance as a result of the small effective capacitance of the series-connected capacitors, and it exhibits considerable voltage loss due to all of the diode drops. Further, this circuit requires 2n diodes and 2n capacitors to produce a dc output voltage approximately n times the rail voltage.Figure 99-1(b)'s circuit multiplies more effectively using fewer diodes and capacitors. The parallel arrangement of the capacitors lets you use smaller capacitors than those required in Fig. 99-1(a). Alternatively, when using the same capacitor values of Fig. 99-1(a), the output impedance will be lower.Whereas the clock source directly drives only one of the two strings of capacitors in Fig. 99-1(a), Fig. 99-1(b)'s clock drives both strings with opposite phases. This drive scheme doubles the voltage per stage of two diodes. A final diode is necessary to pick off the dc output voltage because both strings of capacitors now carry the p-p ac input-voltage waveform. The ICL7667 dual-FET driver accepts a TTL drive swing and provides a low-impedance push-pull drive to the diode string. This low impedance is particularly helpful when using a long string to raise output voltage to more than 100 V, starting from a low rail voltage. (View)

Test panel provides fast static test of surplus 7400 series TTL ICs. Each contact of 16-pin DIP socket has lead that can be plugged into array of seven othersockets carrying various supply voltages, loads, etc. Switches provide pulses of input current for toggling or clocking, counting, and resetting. Leads also serve for cross-coupling gates in IC to make flip-flop and forsetting up other simple circuits. Input voltage control allows plotting of transfer functions and study of circuit operation under different signal-level conditions. Extemal test meter can be connected when necessary. HI and LO indicators are LEDs that show level of terminal connected to output socket. Transistors are general-purpose NPN such as 2N2926. U1 is SN7404 hex inverter, and U2 is SN7400 quad two-input NAND gate. Tester is not suitable for complementary MOS devices requiring protection from static charges.

Go/no-go tester shows relative condition of NPN and PNP transistors, junction FETs, and dual-gate MOSFETs. Not suitable for checking audio or highpower RFtransistors. Crystal for upper range of HFspectrum is permanently wired; any HF crys-tal cut for fundamental-mode operation can be used. Rectified RF from oscillator is monitored on M1. S1 selects negative ground for testing N-ehdnnel FETs and NPN bipolars and provides positive ground for P-ehannel and PNP devices. If device is open, shomed, or extremely Ieaky, circuit wiII not oscillate and meter will not deflect. The higher the meter reading, the higher the gain of transistor at operating frequency. When testing MOSFETs that are not gate-protected, keep transistor Ieads shorted until device is in socket and replace short before re moving device. Diodes are 1N34A or equivalent.-D. DeMaw and C.
