Simple circuit checks condition of quad Norton opamps (Nationai LM3900 or Motorola MC3401). Can also be used to match or select devices for similar DC characteristics in critical applications. Amplifier under test is plugged into socket connected as shown. Good unit makes all four LEDs glow with about same brightness, and all four testpoint voltages will agree within about 2 mV. If one section of amplifier is damaged, associated LED will glow very brightly or not at all. Wide variations between test-point voltages indicate partial damage. For critical applications, select amplifiers by matching average test-point voltages.-R. Tenny, Check Norton Amplifiers Quickly, EDNMagazine, March 5, 1974, p 72. (View)

With any good general-purpose transistor, circuit delivers steady AF tone to earphone. To test another transistor, substitute it in appropriate socket. No tone means it is bad. Low tone or chirp indicates questionable condition. If type (PNP or NPN) is unknown, try in both sockets. If leads of unknown cannot be identified, try all three possible positions in socket.-Circuits, 73 Magazine, July 1977, p 35. (View)

Sonic pulse produced by transducer s is sent along fixedlength water path at any depth and picked up by receiving transducer R. Received signal is then amplified and fed back to blocking oscillator to synchronize it at repetition rate determined by delay time of pulse in water. Pulses then go to cable-driving circuit, and through cable to surface vessel for counting.-L. Dulberger, Deep-Ocean Velocimeter Aids Sonar Systems Design, Electronics, 34:22, p 41-43. (View)

Simpie low-cost clock uses two inverters in LC circuit. G1 operates as Colpitts oscillator, with C1 setting feed-back Ievel and L1-C2 setting frequency. Low DC resistance path through R1, R2, and L1 provides high negative DC feedback around G1 and biases it into Iinear region. G2 squares output of G1 to appropriate TTL levels. For values shown, output period is 1.2 μs and rise and fall times are under 20 ns.-C. A. Herbst, TTL Inverter Makes Stable Colpitts Oscillator, EDN|EEE Magazine, May 15, 1971, p 50. (View)

The transmitter was designed specifically for use by radio amateurs as a radio beacon. As such, it provides a good-quality signal that is free of unwanted harmonics.Transistor T1, in association with crystal X1, operates as a 36-MHz oscillator. Filter L1/C3 obviates any tendency of the circuit to oscillate at 12 MHz (the fundamental frequency of the crystal).Circuit L2/C4 is tuned to the fourth harmonic of the oscillator signal (144 MHz). This signal is fed to the aerial via a buffer stage that consists of T2, a double-gated FET. The (amplitude) modulating signal is applied to the second gate of the buffer. The output power of the transmitter has been kept low, about 10 to 40 mW.The modulating signal is generated by N1, an oscillator that switches the transmitter on and off via transistor T3. The switching rate lies between 0.1 and 0.5 Hz. When the output of N1 is low, T3 is switched off, and the transmitter is inoperative because the supply is disabled. When the output of N1 is high, T3 is on and the transmitter operates normally.The digital pattern at the gate of T2 shapes the modulating signal. Gate N2 generates a square wave at afrequency of0.1 to 1 Hz. As long as the output of T3 is high, N4 oscillates atafrequency ofabout 1 kHz. At the relevant gate of N2, there is, therefore, a periodic burst-signal at 1 kHz, and this signal is used to modulate the transmitter.The digital pattern at the relevant gate of T2 can be varied to individual requirements by altering the values of the feedback resistors in the digital chain. The transmitter is calibrated by setting trimmers C4, C7, and C8 for maximum output power.Inductors L2 and L3 are wound from 0.8-mm diameter enamelled copper wire: L2 =5 turns with a tap of 1 turn from ground; L3A=3 turns and L3B=2 turns. The coupling between L3A and L3B should be arranged for maximum output power. The circuit draws a current of only 20 mA, which enables the trans-mitter to be operated from a 9-Y battery for several hours. (View)

Tuning coil L2 can be wound with 2 turns of #22 wire on a 5/32 drill bit. This circuit is well behaved as long as a good component layout is used. The component leads must be kept short and neat, especially the leads of the transistor. The lengths should not exceed 3/16 . Audio could be tapped off the tuning coil with a 5-μF (or so) electrolytic capacitor, but the 1N82 diode circuit seems to produce less signal loss. The, RF signal from ANT1, an approximately 18 antenna, can be introduced through a small capacitor of 1 pF (or less) to the emitter of the 2N918. Other high-frequency transistors can be used, but might require different resistance in the regeneration circuit. The output of this circuit must go to an audio amplifier. (View)

Crystal oscillator opetating at twice desired dock frequency uses pi network R1-C1-X1-C2 providing 180°phase shift required for positive feedback to input of oscillator G1. D flip-flop FF1 in divide-by-2 configuration generates one phase, while NOR gate G2 generates other phase from basic oscillator by masking out every other cycle. G3 merely provides enough propagation delay on second phase to prevent overlap with first phase. Crystal should be below 3 MHz.-D.

The dron across the regulator supplies base driveto Q2. If Q2 is on, Q1 is off, and D6 is off. If the regulator voltage drops below about 3 V, Q2 turns off, and turns Q1 on, which turns on D6. This changes the circuit to an FW bridge USlng D1 through D4. (View)
