The timing interval is initiated by applying power and is determined by RT-CT. At the end of the interval, a unijunction transistor triggers a silicon-controlled rectifier to apply nearly the full supply voltage to the load. The delay range extends from 0.4 milliseconds to 1 minute. The addition of a silicon unijunction transistor Q3 to a conventional monostable multivibrator expands the time delay by two orders of magnitude. This simple circuit acts as a frequency multiplier, converting any sloped input waveform into a distorted output waveform characterized by a rich harmonic content. The input frequency remains present in the spectrum. When a pure sine-wave input signal is applied, the circuit generates only odd harmonics. The push-pull outputs of comparators IC1b and IC1a supply differential signals to adder IC2, which cancels out the even-numbered harmonics. The harmonic spectrum changes depending on the mark/space ratios of the output signals, adjustable with P1 and P2. For instance, a duty factor of 0.25 will produce the second, sixth, and tenth harmonics while excluding the fourth. The spectrum function is expressed as sin x/x. The reference levels for the input comparators determine the output waveform, allowing for adjustments to the desired degree of distortion via the two presets. Resistors R2 and R3 should be matched within 1 percent. Feedback from the collector to the base of the power transistor through C1 and R2 protects the device from destructive transients generated when an inductive load, such as a solenoid, is turned off. An alternative use of diode CR2 or CR1-R1 across the coil would limit voltage transients but could increase solenoid release time. Basic design procedures are outlined, with the circuit operating over a temperature range of -55 to +55 degrees Celsius and an input frequency of 250 kHz. The circuit for microelectronic applications allows the use of the most suitable substrate for each component. A design procedure is provided in 52 steps for manufacturability and long-term reliability, accommodating component tolerances, voltage fluctuations, and collector output loading. The fan-out of a conventional flip-flop is quadrupled by driving the bases of amplifiers Q1 and Q2 directly from the emitters of Q3 and Q4. This design permits the use of a universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter with model 33 Teletype, allowing the keyboard to send data while the printer receives simultaneously. The transmitter interface provides 20 mA current for mark (1) or an open circuit for space (0). The receiver senses a closed contact for mark (1) and an open contact for space (0). Extra inverters are added to ensure that a 1 from the UART is interpreted as a 1 by the Teletype, designed for a 110-baud rate. This circuit also provides a programmable flat-pulse generator with TTL input and up to 24 V peak-to-peak output with a 2500 V/µs slew rate. Clamp amplifiers serve as protective buffers for A/D inputs, programmable flat-pulse-forming amplifiers, and amplitude modulators. Due to clipping in the input stage, VH and VL have input bandwidths comparable to the signal inputs, allowing them to generate the positive or negative absolute value of input signals, effectively full-wave rectifying them.
The described circuit encompasses multiple functionalities, including timing, frequency multiplication, and signal conditioning. The timing circuit utilizes a unijunction transistor and silicon-controlled rectifier to manage voltage application to a load with a significant delay range. The frequency multipliers and harmonic generators are designed to manipulate input waveforms, producing a controlled harmonic output while filtering even harmonics through differential signal processing. The feedback mechanism is crucial for protecting the circuit from high-voltage transients, thereby enhancing reliability when interfacing with inductive loads. The design is robust, covering a wide operational temperature range and allowing for component tolerance adjustments, ensuring consistent performance in varying conditions. The integration of a universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter enables seamless communication between devices, facilitating simultaneous data transmission and reception. Furthermore, the programmable flat-pulse generator and clamp amplifiers provide versatile applications in digital signal processing, showcasing the circuit's adaptability across various electronic systems.Timing interval is initiated by applying power, and is determined by RT-CT.

(View) This simple circuit acts as a frequency multiplier, which converts any sloped input waveform into a distorted output waveform, whose frequency spectrum is marked by a rich harmonics content.
The input frequency does not disappear from the spectrum, however. When a pure sine-wave input signal is applied, the circuit generates odd harmonics only. The push-pull outputs of comparators IC1b and IC1a then supply differential signals to adder IC2, which cancels out even-numbered harmonics. For different mark/space ratios of the output signals, as set with P1 and P2, the harmonic spectrum changes.
A duty factor of 0. 25, for instance, will cause the circuit to supply the second, sixth, and tenth harmonics, but not the fourth one. The spectrum function is then written as sin x/x. The reference levels for the input comparators determine the output waveform. The desired degree of distortion of the input waveform is, therefore, adjusted with the two presets. R2 and R3 should be matched to within 1 percent.
