The circuit"s frequency of oscillation is/= 2.8/ [C1 x (R1 + R2)]. Using the values shown, the output frequency can be varied from 60 Hz to 20 kHz by rotating potentiometer R2. A portion of IC1"s output voltage is fed to its noninverting input at pin 3. The voltage serves as a reference for capacitor Cl, which is connected to the noninverting input at pin 2 of the IC. ..
A circuit for multiplying the width of incoming pulses by a factor greater or less than unity is simple to build and has the feature that the multiplying factor can be selected by adjusting one potentiometer only. The multiplying factor is determined by setting the potentiometer in the feedback of a 741 amplifier. The input pulses of width r and repetition period is used to trigger a sawtooth generator at its rising edges to produce the waveform e2 having a peak value of.....
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.....
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. ..
The positive and negative peak amplitude is controllable to an accuracy of about ± 0.01 V by a dc input. Also, the output frequency and symmetry are easily adjustable. The oscillator consists of an integrator and two comparators—one comparator sets the positive peak and the other the negative peak of the triangle wave. If R1 is replaced by a potentiometer, the frequency can be varied over at least a 10 to 1 range without affecting amplitude. Symmetry is also.....
Integrated circuit Ul (a 555 oscillator/timer) is wired as a conventional pulse generator. The frequency of the pulse generator is controlled by potentiometer Rll. Resistor R2 puts areasonable limit on the highest speed attainable. The output of the pulse generator is fed to the common clock input of U2, a 74C175 quad D-type flip-flop. Each flip-flop is configured so that its Q output is coupled to the D input of the subsequent flip-flop. Information on the D input of.....
The incoming RGB inputs are terminated with resistors Rl, R2, and R3 and potentiometers RVl, RV2, and RV3. These provide input impedances of approximately 75 0. The presets should be adjusted to provide a maximum input of 1 V pk-pk into the MC1377. The inputs are ac-coupled into the encoder; the large value capacitor is required for the 60 Hz field component. The Colpitts oscillator for the color burst is formed around pins 17 and 18. About 0.5 V pk-pk should appear.....
This simple circuit can color the sound coming from your audio system. Clocking for the circuit is provided by an oscillator built from one quarter of a 4093 quad NAND Schmitt trigger. With the component values shown, it will run at about 5 Hz. The clock frequency is fed to the gain control, pin 8, of an LM386 amplifier. Tremolo is produced by varying the amplifier gain. A trimmer potentiometer can be put in series with R1, to easily experiment with different.....
This audio converter circuit maintains 40 dB of isolation between the two halves of entry and exit of a four-line son, while allowing a line connecting two son. A balancing potentiometer, R, adjusts the gain of zero lC2to crossing the inlet to the outlet. ..
The supply 6-66 can be used for supply output voltages from 1 to 35 V. The line transformer should be selected to give about1.4 times the desired output voltage from the positive side of filter capacitor C1 to ground. Potentiometer R2 sets the output voltage to the desired value by adjusting the reference input. Rsc is the current limit set resistor. ..
The two lamp-dimmer circuits differ in that (a) employs a single-time-constant trigger network and (b) uses a double-time-constant trigger circuit that reduces hysteresis effects and thereby extends the effective range of the light-control potentiometer. (Hysteresisre-fers to a difference in the control potentiometer setting at which the lamp turns on and the setting at which the light is extinguished) The additional capacitor C2 in (b) reduces hysteresis by charging to a.....
This has a stable trigger 100 m V sensitivity at 50 MHz. The FETs comprise a simple high-speed buffer and the LT1016 compares the buffer"s output to the potential at tbe trigger level potentiometer, which can be of either polarity. The 10-KO resistor provides hysteresis, eliminating "chattering"" caused by noisy input signals. ..
By adjusting one potentiometer, this circuit`s output can be varied from a positive-going version of the input signal, smoothly through zero output, then to a negative-going version of the input (see the figure). If the input signal is a positive pulse of, for example, +2-V peak/the output pulse amplitude can be smoothly varied from +2-V through ground (no output) to a -2-V peak. Taking a closer look at the setup, assume that the signal has a +2-V peak input. The A.....
Dc power can also be controlled via fiberoptics. The circuit provides an insulated speed control path for a small dc actuator motor (< Vn hp). Control logic is a self-contained module requiring about 300 mW at 12 V, which can be battery powered. The control module furnishes infrared pulses, at a rate of 160 Hz, with a duty cycle determined by the position of the speed adjust potentiometer. The programmable unijunction multivibrator provides approximately 10 mA pulses to.....
The resistor capacitor network R1-R2-C1 provides a ramp-type reference voltage superimposed on top of a dc voltage adjustable with the speed-setting potentiometer R2. This reference voltage appearing at the wiper of R2 is balanced against the residual counter emf of the motor through the SCR gate. As the motor slows down due to heavy loading, its counter emf falls, and the reference ramp triggers the SCR earlier in the ac cycle..
The circuit is quick and easy to put together and install, and tells you when battery voltage falls below the set limit as established by Rl (a 10,000-ohm potentiometer). It can indicate, via LED 1, that the battery may be defective or in need of change if operating the starter causes the battery voltage to drop belciw the present limit. ..
An LM556 dual oscillator/timer, U1, configured as a two-tone oscillator drives U2, a dual4-watt amplifier. One of the oscillators, pins 1 to 6, contained in U1 produces the upper frequency signal of about 200 Hz, while the second oscillator, pins 8 to 13, provides the lower frequency signal of about 140Hz. Increase or decrease the frequencies by changing the values of C2 and C3. U1"s outputs, pins 9 and 5, are connected to separate potentiometers to provide control.....
Input terminal VIN is connected to the +V line of tbe circuit that the indicator is to monitor, and the grounds of botb circuits are connected togetber. The position of potentiometer Rl"s wiper determines Q1"s base voltage. As long as the transistor gets enough bias voltage to remain on, the low voltage at tbe collector will keep the SCR from firing. ..
