Precise, adjustable control of beats per minute from a largo of 18 to a frenzied, high presto of 500, These beats are produced acoustically through a speaker. A light flashes at the same rate. When SW1 is closed, CI begins to charge through Rl and R2. Cl will eventually reach a voltage at which the emitter of unijunction transistor is switched on, "dumping" the energy stored in Cl into an 8 ohm speaker. To produce a distinct "plop", brief pulses across T2 secondary drive.....

Used for digital control of musical instruments, this transmitter converts the digital data signals to equivalent optical signals for fiberoptic cable interface. Optocoupler IC1 provides isolation, and drives IC2-a and -b and Tl,..
Ql and Q2 constitute a simple, high-speed FET input buffer. Ql functions as a source follower, with the Q2 current source load setting the drain-source channel current. The LT1010 buffer provides output drive capability for cables or whatever load is required. Normally, this open-loop configuration would be quite drifty because there is no de feedback. The LTC1052 contributes this function to stabilize the circuit. It does this by comparing the filtered circuit output.....
Inserting two 1-MO resistors, R1 and R2, in the output stage of one of the circuit"s inverters limits the current needed by the oscillator tone more than a few pA. This circuit includes a CD4007 package, which has three CMOS inverters. It forms a standard three-inverter oscillator. Resistors R1 and R2, in series with separate drains on inverter pins 8 and 13, limit the oscillator"s supply current. Capacitor C1 and resistors R5 set the off time of the oscillator, C1; R6.....
The circuit is built around a 741 general-purpose op amp that is configured as a voltage follower; with the components shown, the op amp has a voltage gain of one. The output of the 741 is used to drive a 50- meter movement. Potentiometer R7 is used to zero the meter and R6 sets the meter`s full-scale reading, Calibrating the meter is a snap. With no input applied to the circuit, set R6 to mid-position and adjust R7 to zero the meter. Once that is done, apply a positive.....
This circuit has read the RIAA equalization, tone controls, and adequate gain to drive most power amplifiers conunercial by using CA3410 op amp BiMOS. Total harmonic distortion, pushed to provide an output of 6-V, is less than 0.035% in audio-frequency range from 150 Hz to 40 kHz. ..

The logic input is applied to opto-isolators Ul and U2 with, respectively, npn and pnp emitter follower outputs. Dc balance is adjusted by potentiometer R2. The emitter followers drive the gates of Ql and Q2, the complementary TMOS pairs. With a ±12 V supply, the swing at the common source output point is about 12 V peak-to-peak. By adding a ± 18-V boost circuit, as shown, the output swing can approach the rail swing. ..
A gas sensor (TGS823 from Allegro Electronics, Cornwall Bridge, CT 06754) conducts in the presence of explosive gases. U5 is a voltage-to- frequency converter that produces a frequency proportional to the sensor conductance. The output frequency ranges from 100 IIz in clean air to 8 kHz in a contaminated atmosphere. The dc voltage from the sensor also drives bar graph LED U7 and comparators U4-b and U4-c to sense present caution and danger levels. ..
Because power MOSFETs offer high power gain at both audio and radio frequencies, they are useful in many areas of radio-circuit design. For rf applications, a MOSFET"s large safe operating area, V0 s vs ! 0, protects it against damage from reflected rf energy. As a modulator, a MOSFET"s transfer linearity aids fidelity. In the suppressed-carrier modulator, an rf signal is applied to the primary of transformer Tl, whose secondaries provide equal-amplitude,.....

This circuit uses the CA3207 sequence driver and CA3208 segment latch-driver in combination to drive display devices of up to 14 segments with up to 14 characters of display. ..
The PWM controller uses complementary half-H peripheral drivers SN75603 and SN75604, with totem-pole outputs rated at 40 V and 2.0 A. These drivers effectively place the motor in a full-bridge configuration, which has the ability to provide bidirectional control. Timer U1 operates in the astable mode at a frequency of 80Hz. The 100-0 discharge resistor results in an 8-p.s trigger pulse which is coupled to the trigger input of timer U2. Timer U2 serves as the PWM.....
Circuit has a 1 Hz-to-30 MHz output, 150-dB dynamic range, for a 0 to 5 V input. It maintains 0.08% linearity over its entire 71/3 decade range with a full-scale drift of about 20 ppm/°C. To get the additional bandwidth, the fast )FET buffer drives the Schottky TTL Schmitt trigger. The Schottky diode prevents the Schmitt trigger from ever seeing negative voltage at its input. The Schmitt"s input voltage hysteresis provides the limits which the oscillator runs.....
The use of a switching transistor (like a 2N2222 or 2N3904) allows use of the CD4511B with a common-anode display. should be chosen to provide about 1 mA to drive Ql and Rr should provide enough current to drive the display...
Have you ever wondered how many different colors can illuminate a LED? One, two or maybe three? Constructing this simple circuit, you will find it much more. The key component in this design is a dual LED. One such accessory includes two inside the 'slices' of different diode LED, that each of them produces a different color (usually green and red). For the drive requires three pins, a common cathode and two separate roots. In this way each of the two integrated diodes can.....
If the tube is level with respect to gravity, the bubble resides in the tube"s center and the electrode resistances to common are identical. As the tube shifts away from level, the resistances increase and decrease proportionally. Transducers of this type must be excited with an ac waveform to avoid damage to the partially conductive liquid inside the tube. The level transducer is configured with a pair of 2-KO resistors to form a bridge. The required ac bridge.....
