Uses 3.579545-MHz crystal osdllator to drive string of CMOS buffers forming digital delay line. Output delays caused by propagation times in each buffer can be used directly or can be trimmed to specific colors by varying supply voltage. Reference phase and delayed color outputs go to 1-of-8 data selector whose output is determined by code presented digitally to its three color select Iines. Selector drive Iogic must retum to 000 (reference phase) immediately before, during, and for at least several microseconds after each.horizontal sync pulse so set can lock and hold on reference color burst. Sine-wave output chrominance signal is cut down to about one-fourth of maximum video white level.-D. Lancaster, TV Typewriter Cookbook, Howard W Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1976, p 205-206.   (View)

TV_INTERFACE_FOR_TYPEWRITER

Published:2009/7/10 22:18:00 Author:May

Video input circuitfor black and white transistor TV receiver permits feeding video output of TV typewriter to video driver in set, for producing character or DRIVER game display on TV screen. Use of direct coulpling eliminates shading effect or changes in background level as characters are added.Diodes provide 1.2-V offset in positive direction so in absence of video the video driver is biased to blacker-than-black sync level of 1.2 V. With white video input of 2 V, driver is biased to usual 3.2 V of white level. Hot-chassis TV sets can present shock hazard.-D, Lancaster, TV Typewriter Cookbook, Howard W.

Norton_precision_comparator

Published:2009/7/17 4:46:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit uses two sections of an LM3900 to form a precision comparator. The current established by VREF at the (-) input of amplifier 1 causes Q1 to adjust VA. The value of VA causes an equal current to flow into the (+) input of amplifier 2. This current corresponds more exactly to the reference current of amplifier 1 National Semiconductor, Linear Applications Handbook 1991 p 244.   (View)

Published:2009/7/10 22:18:00 Author:May

Offsets need for potentially dangerous practice of floating oscilloscope with respect to ground. Also permits simultaneous display of two voltages with correct polarity on double-beam oscilloscope when one of them is floating. Texas Instruments TIL112 optocoupler used has bandwidth of about30 kHz, Three rangesgive choice of 1 :1, 10:1, and 100:1 input attenuation. Set RV2 to bias phototransistor of optocoupler to center of its linear range (about 4.5 V between pins 4 and 5), then set RV1 to give unity input/output ratio on range 1. RV3 is set to give zero DC output when input telminals are shorted, but can be omitted if zeroing of output level is unnecessary.-A. F. Sargent, Simple C.R.O.
