ELECTRONIC_BIRD_CHIRPER

Published:2009/7/10 2:26:00 Author:May

Transistors Q1 and Q2 form the two halves of a free-running multivibrator whose frequency is determined by the voltage across C8. That capacitor is charged and discharged by closing and opening switch S1. Transistors Q3 and Q4 make up a VFO. The output of the free-running multivibrator frequency modulates the Q3/Q4 oscillator, causing the chirping bird sound. The number of chirps per second is determined by the frequency of the Q1/Q2 multivibrator, which also varies. The pitch of the chirps is determined by C5 and C6.   (View)

B_FIELD_MEASURER

Published:2009/7/10 2:26:00 Author:May

This circuit develops an output voltage that is proportional to the magnetic induction, B, flowing through its probe's coil. You must size the coil to give a full-scale, 10-V output for your maximum expected magnetic-induction intensity. For a given value of B (in tesla) and output voltage, VOUt: where A is the effective area or your coil in m2 (A = number of turns × average area of each turn), R is the resistance of the coil and the probe, and C is the value of the capacitor. Notice that C should be a low-leakage polypropylene or Teflon device. For most practical applications that measure a magnetic field in the air, the coil will be either tiny or very thin. If R=1kΩ, C=1μF, and the coil is 100 turns with a mean area per turn of 1 cm2, then the circuit's output will be 1 mV/gauss (1T= 104G). To use the circuit, push the reset button and place the probe in an area that you know is devoid of magnetic fields. Be sure to avoid magnets and iron. Then, put the probe into the field to be measured and read the V0UT with a voltmeter. Finally, calculate the B field's intensity using the equation. When constructing the instrument, guard the op amp's inputs from undesirable currents at the minus input. For full-scale outputs, use a ±15-V supply for the op amp.   (View)

CHUG_CHUG

Published:2009/7/10 2:23:00 Author:May

A CA3240 dual MOSFET-input device is used as a white-noise source. Op amp IC2 is used as a driver stage for the push-pull output stage formed by Q5 and Q6. Transistors Q2, Q3, and Q4 form a variable-frequency multivibrator. R11, the speed control, is used to control the multivibrator's frequency. The output is differentiated by C8 and applied to modulator transistor Q1, through D1 and R7. Transistor Q1 modulates the gain of the output amplifier stage by changing the impedance to ground, through R6 and C4.When the multivibrator's frequency is reduced using R11, C8 discharges slowly, creating a sound similar to escaping steam from a stopped locomotive.To find the proper value for R3, short Q1's collector to ground. Then, increase the value of R3 until the current drain from the power supply is less than 60 mA. Then remove the short from Q1. To see if the device is operating properly, close switch S1 and reduce the resistance of R11. Wait 10 seconds, then rotate R11 slowly. You should hear a sound similar to a steam locomotive picking up speed.   (View)

A_continuous_15_V_indicator

Published:2009/7/19 22:58:00 Author:Jessie

This LM3909 circuit shows a continuously appearing indicator light that is powered by 1.5 V. Duty cycle and frequency of the current pulses to the LED are increased (from that of Fig. 12-43B) until the average energy supplied provides sufficient light. At frequencies above 2 kHz, even the fastest movement of the light source or the observer's head will not produce significant flicker. This indicator draws about 12 mA from the 1.5-V battery, and is not intended as a long-life system.   (View)

TRACKED_CURRENT_LIMITING

Published:2009/7/19 22:57:00 Author:Jessie

Simultaneous limiting scheme for both sections of National dual tracking regulator depends on output cur-rent of positive regulator. Voltage drop produced across R1 by positive regulator brings Q1 into conduction, with positive load current I1 increasing until voltage drop across R2 equals negative current-limit sense voltage. Negative regulator will then current-limit, and positive side will closely follow negative output down to level of about 700 mV.-T. Smathers and N.

SOUND_EFFECTS_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/10 2:19:00 Author:May

A variable clock-pulse generator is made up of two sections of IC1 (a 4069 CMOS hex inverter), R1, 51, and capacitors C1 through C6. By adjusting R1 and switching one of the capacitors into the circuit, the clock's pulse rate can be varied over a wide range.The TL507C converts analog signals-in this case the output of IC3, an LM386 audio amplifier-into digital signals. The conversion is accomplished using the single-slope method; it involves comparing an internally generated ramp signal to the analog input signal and a 200-mV reference voltage.The square-wave output from the a/d converter is fed to IC3 through a network consisting of R2, R3, and C7. Resistor R2 controls the amplitude of the pulses. Resistor R3 and capacitor C7 form a variable tone-control filter and a differentiator circuit that converts a square wave into a spiked waveform. That waveform is amplified by IC3, and the resulting output is fed back into the analog input of IC2, as well as to an 8-Ω speaker. By adjusting R1 and selecting one of the six capacitors with S1-thus varying the clock frequency-and by varying R2 and R3, you can produce many sounds.   (View)

Continuity_and_coil_checker

Published:2009/7/19 22:57:00 Author:Jessie

Using this circuit, a short (up to about 1000) across the test probes provides enough power to produce audible oscillation. In this circuit, the LM3909 is connected as an audio oscillator. By probing two values in quick succession, small differences (such as between a short and 5Ω) can be detected by differences in the tone. A novel use of this circuit is found in setting the timing of certain types of motorcycles. A different tone can be hoard if there is a short (or no short) in the low-resistance primary of the ignition coil (a difference between a 1 -Ω resistor and a 1 -Ω inductor can be detected). Quick checks of transformers and motors can also be made with this simple circuit. National Semiconductor Linear Applications Handbook, 1991, p 399   (View)
