TV_LINE_PULSE_EXTRACTOR

Published:2009/7/11 2:38:00 Author:May

This circuit uses a sync-generator chip, a counter, and a decoder to detect the horizontal sync pulse that occurs at the bGginning of line 10 in field 1 of an NTSC television picture. You can use this circuit to compare the time delay between sync signals at various locations, and to determine and correct for any drift between the two master clocks.The output of the LM1881 sync separator is the key to detecting line 10; the odd/even line goes high on the leading edge of the first equalizing pulse in the middle of line 4. Thus, you can use this knowledge to find virtually any other line in the field. This particular circuit locates line 10 of field one. The circuit resets the 74LS161 counter until the odd/even line goes high. Then, 74LS161 counts the positive transitions of the sync signal. After 11 positive transitions, the sync pulse drives pin 4 of the 74LS138 decoder low, and the line-10 sync pulse appears at pin 12 of the decoder. (The circuit counts to 11, as opposed to the 6 you might expect-because the composite sync signal contains more than 1 pulse per line). The counter remains in its maximum-count state until the sync separator causes a reset because Q1 feeds the inverted terminal-count output back to the parallel-enable input.   (View)

Published:2009/7/11 2:33:00 Author:May

Used to synchronize 2,500-cps local time standard with that of transmitting end of wire-line system.

Simple audio oscillator is assembled as shown and values of R1 and C1 adiusted for desired tone. General-purpose transistor to be tested is then substituted in circuit (NPN for Q1 or PNP for Q2) and rotated in socket until oscillator works again; pins then correspond to those of the good transistor. If oscillator will not work in any of three possible positions, transistor under test is bad.-Circuits, 73 Magazine, July 1977, p 34.   (View)

IC_TEST_CLlP

Published:2009/7/11 2:28:00 Author:May

Provides in-circuit testing for all types of 16-pin ICs. LED array indicates logic status of each IC pin. Circuit uses Texas Instruments TID125 diode arrays on test clip to determine pin with highest voltage (VCC)and pin with lowest voltage (GND). These pins are then used to supply power to LEDs. No batteries are needed. Position of clip on IC is unimportant. On 14-pin ICs, disregard LEDs for two unused pins. Circuit can be expanded for 24- or 40-pin ICs, although adding LEDs makes clip more difficult to use.-J. Errico and R. Baker, Powerless IC Test Clip, BYTE, Dec. 1975, p 26-27.   (View)
