With 4.7 megohms for R, simple 555 timer circuit used in conjunction with computer measures capacitors in five ranges from below 100 pF to 0.1 μF. For larger range, resistor value can be changed. Article includes BASIC software suitable for 8080.based FROM PORT our systems, including calibration program based on known values of capacitance. 555 mono MVBR is triggered under control of computer output port bit, with count being made while mono is timing out. Count is averaged over ten triggerings, then multiplied in computer by calibration factor to give capacitance value. Any desired type of output indicator can be used.-J. Eccleston, Computerized Capacity Meter, 73 Magazine, July 1978, p 88-89. (View)

Pickup loop feeds low-noise transistor Q1, followed by twostage audio amplifier. Since low-frequency magnetic field (2 kc) is attenuated very little by rock, soil, or water, strength of received signal from transmitter in cave being mapped can be measured. When system is calibrated for distance on surface, depth can be measured.-E. R. Roeschlein, Mapping Caves Magnetically, Electronics, 33:39, p 61. (View)

Pulse widths in microsecond range are amplitude-limited and dumped into magnetic core. When core saturates, signal is recorded on magnetic tape and core is reset for next series of pulses. The number of changes of state between saturation points gives the number of pulses for core saturation, from which pulse width can be computed.-W. L. Carter and P. J. Knoke, Pulse-Width Measurements, Electronics, 35:43, p 51-53. (View)

This circuit uses one section of an LM3900 as the control element in a voltage regulator. Q1 and Q2 absorb any high input voltages, and therefore must be high-voltage transistors. With the values shown, the output is about 8.2 V.Diodes can be added (as shown in Fig.11-42B) to reduce ripple feedthrough and input-voltage dependence. Short-circuit protection can also be added, as shown in Fig. 11 -42C. National Semiconductor Linear Applications Handbook, 1991, p. 225 226 (View)
