AUDIBLE_VOLTMETER

Published:2009/7/3 2:17:00 Author:May

Voltage-controlled audio oscillator produces 400-Hz tone for 0 V, with frequency of tone increasing with voltage overtwo-octave rangeto 1600 Hz for maximum or full-scale voltage. Ten-resistor voltage divider produces calibrated reference tones corresponding to main 0-10 divisions of meter scale foraural comparison. Simple square-wave audio oscillator Q1-Q2 is voltage-controlled by Q3, which in turn is driven by opamp whose gain is set by R5. Article covers adjustment of sensitivity pot R5, and frequency pots R24-R33 so VCO tracks voltage being measured and tones coincide at MONITOR and COMPARE positions of S1 for each meter division.-H. F. Batie, An Audible Meter for the Blind Amateur, CQ, Dec. 1973, p 26-31.   (View)

LOW_DISTORTION_INPUT_SELECTOR_FOR_AUDIO_USE

Published:2009/7/2 4:23:00 Author:May

CMOS switches are used directly to select inputs in audio circuits, this can introduce unacceptable levels of distortion, but if the switch is included in the feedback network of an op amp, the distortion due to the switch can be almost eliminated. The circuit uses a 4416 CMOS switch, arranged as two independent SPDT switches. If switching transients are unimportant, R5 and C1 can be omitted, and R4 can be shorted out. However, a feedback path must be maintained, even when a channel is switched out, in order to keep the inverting input of the op amp at ground potential, and prevent excessive crosstalk between channels.   (View)

AUDIO_BOOSTER

Published:2009/7/2 1:02:00 Author:May

Circuit Notes The amplifier's gain is nominally 20 dB. Its frequency response is determined primarily by the value of just a few components-primarily C1 and R1. The values of the schematic diagram provide a fesponse of ±3.0 dB from about 120 Hz to better than 20,000 Hz.Actually, the frequency response is ruler flat from about 170 Hz to well over 20,000 Hz; it's the low end that deviates from a flat frequency response. The low end's roll-off is primarily a function of capacitor C1（since RI's resistive value is fixed）. If C1's value is changed to 0.1 pF, the low end's comer frequency-the frequency at which the low-end roll-off starts-is reduced to about 70 Hz. If you need an even deeper low-end roll-off, change C1 to a 1.0 pF capacitor; if it's an electrolytic type, make certain that it's installed into the circuit with the correct polarity, with the positive terminal connected to Q1's base terminal.   (View)

Circuit flashes two messages altemately on same Burroughs giant Nixie B7971 display. Lighted segments needed on individual Nixies to form desired wording are divided into three strings. Segments A are common to both sets of letters and numbers. Segments B are those required with A segments to form first message. Segments C are those required with A segments to form second message. Changeover from segments B to C is done with switching transistors controlled by 555 timer and 7476 or 7473 flipflop.
