Signetics 555 timer is used as oscillator to generate nonover-lapping clock pulses as required for most two-phase dynamic MOS memories and shift registers. Duty cycle is determined by values of extemal resistors RA and RB which, together with timing capacitor C, determine frequency of os cillation. 7473 flip-flop controls phase that is switched on through 7402 NOR gates. Article gives timing waveforms and equations. Maximum operating frequency is 1 MHz.-G. Schlitt, Monolithic Timer Generates 2-Phase Clock Pulses, EDNMagazine, Aug. 1, 1972, p 57. (View)

Basic 555 timer IC produces constant 60-Hz rectangular output for use as noninterruptible free-wheeling dock source. C1 introduces filtered 60-Hz power-line reference component across Ct at 2 V P-P. This signal overrides normal timing ramp of 555, causing it to act as amplifier or Schmitt trigger. When AC Iine power fails, Ct resumes normal function as timing capacitor for 60-Hz astable MVBR. Circuit can easily be adiusted for other reference frequencies.-W. G. Jung, Take a Fresh Look at New IC Timer Applications, EDN Magazine, March 20, 1977, p 127-135. (View)

This accessory connects to phone and will activate an attention-getting 120-V bell whenever a ringing voltage appears on the phone line. The four-terminal transducer has a neon bulb close to a photocell, which are both enclosed in a light-tight tube. When the lamp is off, the cell is dark and its resistance is very high. When a ringing voltage appears on the phone line, the neon bulb glows brightly and illuminates the photocell whose resistance then drops to about 1000 Ω. The photocell is in the gate circuit of a triac that will turn on whenever the cell resistance drops. The triac is connected across the switching terminals of the isolation relay. Thus, the relay closes and applies 120 V to the output socket whenever the triac is on. (View)

The circuit requires neither a battery nor an ac supply to make it work. Set the recorder to the record position and when the telephone is taken off the hook, the recorder starts to record everything. When the phone is on the hook, the voltage across the phone lines is about 48 Vdc. When it is taken off the hook, the line voltage drops below 10 V. When the line voltage is near 48 V, the FET is biased off and no current can flow through Q2 and Q3. When the receiver is off the hook, the voltage drops, and allows Q1 to conduct. This action turns on Q2, Q3, and the cassette recorder. (View)

Combination of 555 timer and standard opamp minimizes cost of adding triggered sweep to oscilloscope not having this feature. Timer is triggered by applying vertical-amplifier signal through opamp, initiating charging of sweep capacitor C. When capacitor voltage reaches control voltage of timer (0.33 VCC), flip-flop in timer resets and capacitor discharges to form retrace of sweep.- Signetics Analog Data Manual, Signetics, Sunnyvale, CA, 1977, p 726.

Darlington circuit provides extremely high input impedance (over 2.2 megohms). With input shorted, noise level is 78 dB down as read at output whh VTVM. Linearity is within 1.5% for inputs from 100 μV to 1 mV, and frequency response is ±2 dB from 100 Hz to 350 kHz. Originally designed to boost input to CRO, but can be adapted to many other applications requiring high gain, low noise, and high input impedance.-J.
