The following describes the design, construction, operation and use of the DECUS divider module. Photo 2 shows a top view of the module and Photo 3 shows the bottom. The primary use of the module is to condition the 10 megahertz (MHz) signal from a rubidium oscillator such as the LPRO-101 or FRS-C units manufactured by EFRATOM Ball, Inc. The DECUS

module divides the 10 MHz output from these units to produce marker signals at various frequencies. If you require a multiplied frequency output in addition to the decade divisor, you may be interested in the DECL module. If you have a FE-5680 rubidium reference, you may be interested in the FEBO module. The module`s conditioning circuit and divider chip can also be used for other applications requiring signal conditioning and dividing, but this usage is outside the scope of this document. The schematic shows the components, circuitry and some operational restrictions for the module. The Parts List provides additional information about the components used to assemble the module. photo 2, the module measures approximately 1 1/4 by 7/8 inches (32 by 23 mm). Signal connections are provided on two 12-pin single row pin headers. The header connections are labeled "A" to "X" for easy reference. Header pins are spaced one tenth of an inch apart and the header rows are spaced 0. 6 inch apart. This allows the module to be used with in-line sockets or wired directly to a protoboard. outputs, ranging from one Hertz to one megahertz. The module also provides three ten megahertz buffered outputs for driving time base inputs of test equipment. Two buffer gates are uncommitted to allow any two of the outputs to be buffered or to allow buffering of an external signal (e. g. , a lock indicator for an LPRO or FRS output). Divider outputs...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
