SQUARE_WAVE_PULSE_EXTRACTOR

Published:2009/7/10 2:36:00 Author:May

This circuit traps a single positive pulse from a square-wave train. Following the rising edge of an input command, the pulse-out signal emits a replica of one positive pulse of the clock signal simultaneous with the clock signal's next rising edge. The input command signal sets the Q1 output of flip-flop IC1A. Consequently, the next rising edge of the clock signal sets the Q2 output of IC1B, which allows AND gate IC2C to pass the clock signal's next positive pulse. AND gates IC2A and IC2B prevent the generation of brief output glitches by delaying the clock signal by tD seconds (two propa-gation delays).   (View)

SIMPLE_ABSOLUTE_VALUE_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/10 2:33:00 Author:May

When an input voltage is positive, the output of ICA is negative and diode D does not conduct; hence the output of ICB is positive. On the other hand, when the input is negative, the output of ICA is positive.D will conduct and cause the absolute value, expressed as a positive voltage, to appear on the noninverting input of ICB and on the circuit's output. The circuit'sdynamic range extends from zero to the point at which the op amp saturates. The band-width is determined by the characteristics of the diode and the high-frequency performance of the op amp.   (View)

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)
