Six preset controls and seven selector switches enable a vast range of different sounds to be produced and altered at will. Such sounds as steam trains chuffing, helicopters flying, bird chirping, and machine guns firing are possible, as well as the usual police sirens, phaser suns, and bomb explosions. The circuit incorporates an amplifier giving 150-mW output into a small loudspeaker. Alternatively, a separate amplifier system can be used for disco effects, car alarms, etc. Continuous or one-shot sounds are possible. For one-shot sounds, a push-button switch is prodded, which can also be used to turn continuous sounds on and off. A single IC, SN76477, provides all of the sound generation circuits. (View)

Many function generators are based on a rectangular waveform generator that consists or a Schmitt trigger and integrator. The triangular signal produced by the integrator is then used to form a sinusoidal signal with the aid of a diode network. The converter presented here works the other way around. It con-verts the output of a good-quality sine-wave oscillator into a rectangular and a triangular siant.
The sinusoidal siinal is converted into a rectangular signal by IC2A. Because the output of this gate varies between - 15 V and + 15 V, it is reduced to a value that is suitable for integration by potential divider R3/R4. It is then integrated by transconductance amplifier IC1A and C2. The amplifier has a current output that is controlled by the current through pin 1. The output therefore behaves as a resistance, with which it is possible to influence the integration time.
The voltage across C2 is available in buffered form at the output of impedance inverter IC2B; this is the triangular signal. The amplitude of this signal is compared with a voltage set by P2 and the difference between these voltages, which is the output of IC2C, is applied to the current source at the output of IC1 via R5. This arrangement ensures that the level of the output voltage is virtually independent of the frequency of the rectangular signal or of the sinusoidal input.
One problem with a precision integration is its being affected by offset voltages and bias currents. Feedback loop R6/C1 ensures that the output follows the potential across R4 accurately. However, tiny deviations might be caused by the bias current in circuit IC1, which is not greater than 8 μA at 70℃.The time constant R6/C1 is large for a purpose: to ensure that the triangular signal, even at low fre-quencies, cannot affect the waveform of the signal to be integrated-the rectangular shape must be retained. The converter can process signals at frequencies from 6 Hz (where the amplitude is not affected) to 60 kHz (where the amplitude is reached by 10%).
Because of the long time constants, the time taken for the recovery of the amplitude of the triangular signal at frequencies above 1 kHz is rather long. The peak value of this signal should be set to 1 V.
Diode D1 is a so-called sfaGa'slot-three diodes in one package. It might be replaced by three discrete type 1N4148 diodes. The current drawn by the converter is of the order of 9 mA.

Uses NE567 PLL and 555 timer to activate muted monitoring receiver until alerting audio tone of correct frequency and duration is received. Can be applied to almost any receiver for weather emergency alert warnings, paging calls, and similar services without having to listen continously to other traffic on channel, if received tone is within bandwidth of tone decoder, output of U1 goes nearly to zero and C5 starts to discharge through R4. When voltage at pins 2 and 6 of U2 reaches one-third of supply voltage, output of U2 goes high and triggers SCRQ1, energizing 12-V relay K1. Values shown for C4 and C5 give 1-s delay, which means triggering tone must be on at least 1 s. Once SCR is triggered, it holds relay on even after tone ceases. Pushbutton switch shorts SCR and releases relay when reset is desired. Zener provides regulated 6.2 V required for decoder. Values shown for R1, R2, and C2 give response to 450-Hz tone. Avoid use of Touch-Tone frequency, to prevent accidental triggering by those using Touch-Tone system.-J. S. Paquette, A Time-Delayed Tone Decoder, QST; Feb. 1977, p 16-17. (View)

Transistors Q1 and Q2, with feedback provided via C1 from the collector of Q1 to the base of Q2, forms a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). Depending on the voltage applied to Q2's base, the VCO frequency ranges from around 60 Hz to 7.5 kHz. The instantaneous voltage applied to the base of Q2 is determined by the values of C2, R2, R3, and R4. When pushbutton switch S1 is closed, C2 charges fairly rapidly to the maximum supply voltage through R2, a 22-KΩ fixed resistor. That causes the siren sound to rise rapidly to its highest frequency. When the button is released, the capacitor discharges through R3 and R4 with a combined resistance of 124 KΩ, causing the siren sound to decay from a high-pitched wail to a low growl. If you want to experiment with the pitch of the sound at its highest frequency, try different values for C1. ncrease its value for lower notes, and decrease it for higher ones. Different values for R2 will change the attack time. A 100-KΩ resistor provides equal attack and decay times. The way you handle the pushbutton varies the effect. (View)

1-watt power amplifier. Refer to the table to select the desired voltage gain. In the circuit the AC feedback path is different from the DC path. Resistor R2 is bypassed to ground, taking it out of the AC feedback loop. The voltage gain is determined by the ratio of R4/R1. Another feature of this circuit is that you can introduce bass boost by the selection of capacitor values for C1, C4 and C5. With the values shown in the table at the bottom of the figure, gain performance is as follows: voltage gain is 12, VIN for Po at 1W is 0.4 volt, and bass boost is 3 dB at 150 Hz (courtesy GTE Sylvania Incorporated).

Unijunction transistors Q1 and Q2 are both connected as relaxation-type, sawtooth oscillators. Transistor Q1 is the low-frequency control oscillator and Q2 is the tone generator. Sawtooth waveforms are produced at the emitter terminals. Without R4 connecting the two emitters, each oscillator operates inde-pendently, with its frequency determined mainly by the re time constant. With the values shown, Q1 operates from 1. to 1.5 Hz and Q2 operates from 400 to 500 Hz. When R4 is connected between the two emitters, it couples the low-frequency sawtooth from Q1 directly across capacitor C2. That coupling causes the frequency of the tone generator to increase, along with the rise in sawtooth voltage from Q1.The tone generator's frequency drops to its lower design value when C1 discharges and produces the fall-ing edge of the sawtooth.
