A common power-supply requirement involves converting a 2.4- or 3-V battery voltage to a 5-V logic supply. This circuit converts 3 V to 5 V at 40 mA with 85% efflciency. When IC (pin 6) is driven low, the output voltage will be the battery voltage minus the drop across diode D1. The optional circuitry that uses C1, R3, and R4 lowers the oscillator frequency when the battery voltage falls to 2.0 V. This lower frequency maintains the output-power capability of the circuit by increasing the peak inductor current, which compensates for the reduced battery voltage. (View)

This circuit produces a 0- to 10-kHz output in response to a 0- to ± 10-V input. The A4 output indicates the sign (+ or -) of the input. To calibrate, apply either a - 10- or + 10-V input and set the 10-kΩ trim for exactly a 10-kHz output. The low offsets of A1 and A2 permit operation down to a few Hz with no zero trim required.

Modulates existing house wiring with high-frequency signals that can bedetected by special receivers plugged into any AC outlet, for control of appliances by home computer. Applications include turning house lights on and off during owner's absence on elaborate time schedule programmed into computer. IC1 converts 8-bit data word from computer to proportional analog output current. This is converted to voltage by IC2 for control of VCO IC3 that gives frequency proportional to voltage. With values shown, range is about 30 to 110 kHz, with 256 discrete increments of frequency. Thus, input code 00000000 gives 30 kHz, 00000001 gives 30.3 kHz, and 01000000 (decimal 64} gives 49.2 kHz. Signal is applied to house wiring by 0.5-W power amplifier Q1-Q3, using optical coupling through IC4 to prevent computer circuit from interacting with house wiring. Supply voltage ±V is 11 to 13 V. T1 is 12.6-VAC 300-mA filament transformer. ICS is 2 to 2.5 V reference chip such as MC1403U. System uses one frequency to turn receiver on and frequency 4 kHz above or below in 8-kHz band to turn it off, for maximum of ten control channels in system. Article covers calibration of transmitter.-S.

In the case where analog signals are being used as the logic control, hysteresis from a Schmitt-trigger input can be used to prevent half-wave power output. The circuit operation is as follows: at low input voltages, Q1 is biased in the off state. Q2 conducts and biases Q3, and the IRED turns off. When the base of Q1 reaches the biasing voltage of 0.6 V, plus the drop across RD, Q1 turns on. Q3 is then supplied base drive, and the solid-state relay input will be activated. The combination of Q3 and Q4 acts as a constant-current source to the IRED. In order to turn-off Q3, the base drive must be reduced to pull it out of saturation. Because Q2 is in the off-state as the signal is reduced, Q1 will now stay on to a base bias-voltage lowered by the change in the drop across RD. With these values, the highest turn-off voltage is 1.0 V, while turn-on will be at less than the 4.1 V supplied to the circuit.For ac or bipolar input signals, there are several possible connections. If only positive signals are set to activate the relay, a diode, such as the A14, can be connected in parallel to protect the IRED from reverse voltage damage, since its specified peak reverse voltage capability is approximately 3 V. If ac signals are being used, or if activation is to be polarity insensitive, a H11AA coupler, which contains two LEDs in antiparallel connection, can be used. For high-input voltage designs, or for any easy means of converting a dc input relay to ac, a full-wave diode bridge can be used to bias the IRED. (View)

This simple adapter uses an oscillator (567) to drive a counter (U2) and switch (U3) that selects the output of one of four scope preamps (Q1/Q2 through Q7/Q8) and feeds it to buffer Q9 and output jack J1. J2 provides synch to the scope. R20 through R23 are posting controls for channels A through D (J3 through J6). SlA-B through S4A-B are switched attenuators, one for each channel. Switching rate is about 125 kHz. This circuit is useful for adding four-trace operation to inexpensive oscilloscopes. Signal levels of 0 to 20 V can be handled. (View)
