Half of 9014 quad EXCLUSIVE-OR gate serves for generating output pulse for both low-to-high and high-to-low transitions of input signal. Used for regenerating clock in self-clocking pulse-width modulation transmission system, Circuit acts as frequency doublerfor square-wave input. With 1000 pF for C, output pulse width is 70 ns; for 200 pF, width is 30 ns; and when C is 0, width is 10 ns.-Circuits, 73 Magazine, Aug. 1974, p 99.   (View)

OP_AMP_VLF_RECEIVER

Published:2009/7/17 3:42:00 Author:Jessie

The figure shows the circuit diagram for an operational-amplifier VLF receiver. The circuit in the figure uses a virtual-inductor front end. A virtual inductor is a circuit that acts like an inductor, but isn't. Operational amplifiers AIA and AIB form a gyrator circuit. The inductance of this circuit is the product of the components shown between A1A and A1B [C3× 3300 × (R2 \+ R3)]. Capacitor C2 resonates with the virtual inductance produced by the gyrator circuit to tune the desired frequency. For the values of C2, CB, R2, and R3 shown, the circuit will tune from about 15 kHz to more than 30 kHz. Resistor R3 is the tuning control. It is a potentiometer, and should be either a multiturn knob via a vernier-reduction drive. The receiver front-end amplifier consists of amplifier A1C, which has a maximum gain of ×101 [i.e., (R7/R6)+1]. The output of A1C is an RF signal with a frequency equal to that tuned by the gyrator and C2. This signal is coupled to the RE output stage (A2A) through capacitor C5. The RF output stage shown here is a noninverting operational amplifier circuit with a gain of x2.The dc output circuit consists of a precise rectifier (A2B). The precise rectifier works like a regular rectifier, but does not have the low-voltage knee between 0 and 0.6 V (for silicon) or 0 and 0.2 V (for germanium). The pulsating dc from the precise rectifier is filtered and smoothed to straight dc, at a value proportional to the signal strength, by an RC integrator consisting of R12 and C7. The buffer amplifier (A1D) is used to isolate the precise rectifier from the RE output amplifier.   (View)

MODEL_RAILROAD_LIGHTHOUSE_LAMP_SIMULATOR

Published:2009/7/17 3:39:00 Author:Jessie

The lamp turns on and off gradually, controlled by the charging and discharging of the capacitor. Here is a circuit that will do the job. It uses a TIP120 power transistor as a voltage-regulating element. The voltage across the lamp is always 1.2V lower than the voltage across the capacitor. Closing the switch charges the capacitor gradually over a period of a few seconds, causing the voltage to go up. When the switch opens, the capacitor slowly discharges and the voltage goes down again. You might have to experiment with component values to get the effect you want. The capacitor controls both the rise time and the fall time; the resistor controls the rise time only. In both cases, larger values make the action go more slowly. Be sure to mount the TIP120 transistor on a heatsink, and remember that its mounting hole is connected to the collector (and thus to +12 V in the circuit).   (View)

CALL_TONE_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/10 23:19:00 Author:May

Amateur VHF relay stations are normally actuated by a 1750-Hz call tone. This might give problems if the relevant sending equipment has no internal call-tone generator, if it does not have sufficiently accurate frequencies, or if the tone duration is not long enough to securely energize the relevant relay.These problems can be overcome by the stand-alone generator described here. Simply placed in front of the microphone, it makes absolutely certain that the relay station is actuated. The generator consists of a quartz oscillator, a frequency counter and a buffer-amplifier-all contained in just two CMOS ICs. It is powered by a 9-V (p-p) battery, from which it draws a current of around 5 mA.Gates N1 and N2 form an oscillator that is controlled by a 3.27680-MHz crystal and provides clock pulses to IC2, which is connected as a programmable scaler. Diodes D1 through D5 determine the divide factor of 1872. Counter output Q1 provides the wanted 1 750-Hz signal, which is buffered by N3 through N6 before being applied to a piezoelectric buzzer. Capacitor C3 suppresses any harmonics, while R4 determines the volume of the output signal.   (View)

Tachometer

Published:2009/7/17 3:39:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit uses two sections of an XR-13600 (Fig. 11-1b) to form a tachometer or frequency-to-voltage converter. The input is triggered by a positive-going waveform. The maximum FIN is limited by the time required to charge Ct from VL to VH with a current of IB, where VL and VH represent the maximum-low and maximum-high output voltage swing of the XR-13600. D1 provides a discharge path for Ct when A1 switches low. EXAR Corporation Databook 1990 p 5-256   (View)

TELEPHONE_VISUAL_RING_INDICATOR_1

Published:2009/7/10 23:16:00 Author:May

In this circuit, the ringing voltage on a telephone line causes NE-1 to break over, triggering SCR1, which in turn triggers SCR2. If a call has been received, depressing S2 will cause LED1 to light. Depressing S1 resets the circuit. This circuit has the advantage of lower battery drain because LED1 is not left on continuously after a ring signal, but only when S2 is depressed.   (View)

EXTENSION_PHONE_RINGER

Published:2009/7/10 23:13:00 Author:May

The ac ringing voltage (typically 40 to 90 V at 26 Hz) is rectified by U1, the tone-ringer IC, and is used to drive that IC's internal tone-generator circuitry. The tone-generator IC includes a relaxation oscillator (with a base frequency of 500, 1 000, or 2 000 Hz) and frequency dividers that produce the high- and low-frequency tones, as well as the tone-warble frequency. An on-board amplifier feeds a 20-Vpp signal to the transducer.   (View)

SHUTTLE_TRACK_CONTROLLER

Published:2009/7/17 3:36:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit enables a model train to shuttle continuously between two tracks. When the train travels from left to right across the track in the lower part of the diagram, the lower rail (D) is connected to the positive supply line. After it has passed diode DB, the train will stop. Because the loco-motive short-circuits the diode when it passes the break in the rail, a short positive pulse is generated on rail section B. The pulse is used to set bistable IC1, whereupon D3 goes out and capacitor C3 is being charged. When the potential across the capacitor rises to a sufficiently high level, transistor T1 switches on, whereupon the relay is energized. This causes the polarity of rails C and D to be re-versed. Diode DB is then on, so the train departs in the direction of A. Rail C is then connected to the positive supply rail; so when the train passes diode DA, a positive pulse is generated on rail section A. This pulse is used to reset the biastable, whereupon the LED lights and the relay is deenergized. After the relay contacts have reversed the polarity of C and D again, diode DA comes on and the train departs again in the direction of B.   (View)
