TELEPHONE_SILENCER

Published:2009/7/10 22:34:00 Author:May

If you are busy and cannot answer or do not wish to answer your phone, this circuit will give a busy signal without you having to leave the phone off the hook. After a predetermined time, the circuit is deactivated. U1 forms an astable multivibrator that can be set for a time up to 10 minutes by values of R3 and C3. When S1A is depressed, U1 starts, and Q1 latches, which powers the circuit. At the end of a time interval determined by R3 and C3, Q2 and Q3 cut off and remove power from the circuit. During the operation, 53 throws a 150-Ω resistor across the phone line, which simulates an off-hook condition.   (View)

PHONE_MESSAGE_FLASHER

Published:2009/7/10 22:26:00 Author:May

This circuit flashes an LED to indicate that your phone rang during your absence. A differential amplifier with hysteresis (Q1, Q2, and Q3) detects high line voltage(ringing), which turns on Q4, mulitvibrator Q5/Q6, and flashes the LED via Q7. Q1 and Q2 remain on until the phone-line voltage drops to less than 9 V, which indicates an off-hook condition.   (View)

HEX_KEBOARD_

Published:2009/7/10 22:25:00 Author:May

Circuit provides correct hexadecimal output for each key depressed, along with enable level that indicates when key has been pressed, and three switches for providing eight separate codes serving for program control. When no key is pressed, voltage at point A (lower left) and any horizontal keyboard row is 0 V and voltage on any vertical keyboard column is 5 V. When key is pressed, voltage at A becomes 1 V and voltage at selected row and column becomes 3 V. Comparator outputs for U1 and U2 are decoded with N0R gates and strobed onto data lines with open-collector NAND gates.-J. F. Czebiniak, Simple Hex Keyboard Provides Program Control, EDN Magazine, Jan. 5, 1978, p 27-28.   (View)

3_V_POWER_SUPPLY_FOR_PORTABLE_RADIOS

Published:2009/7/10 22:25:00 Author:May

Most small portable radios require a 3-V supply, which is normally provided by two AA or AAA bat-teries. Because rechargeable batteries are an option with many of these radios, most of them are fitted with a charger socket. When such radios are used in a stationary condition (e.g., in the kitchen or in the office), it is useful (and economical) to use the mains-operated supply described here. The supply is small enough to be fitted inside the radio or in a mains adapter case (less than trans-former). Voltage regulator IC1 is adjusted for an output of 3 V by resistors R1 and R2, which are decou-pled by C2. Capacitor C3 provides additional filtering. Diode D1 indicates whether the unit has been connected to the mains. The diode also provides the load necessary for the regulator to function properly; in its absence, the secondary voltage of the transformer might become too high when the unit is not loaded. The transformer should be a short-circuit-proof miniature type, which is rated at 12 V and 4.5 VA.The secondary voltage is slightly higher than needed for a radio, but this reserve is useful when the unit is used with a cassette or CD player. It is advisable to check the output voltage of the unit when it is switched on for the first time before connecting it to a radio or cassette player.   (View)

Noninverting input of 741 opamp is connected to vertical amplifier of CRO,and inverting input is used to control trigger level. When input signal rises above trigger level, output of opamp swings to -V and makes output of 555 timer go high, allowing output capacitor to charge at constant cuirent through transistor in series with resistor.
