This voltage to frequency converter circuit has an oscillator that is voltage controlled and has a small, 0. 5% deviation. IC1 function as a multivibrator and produces rectangular impulses with equal width. The output frequency can be easily adjusted with the help of U1 voltage. D3 diode is required because we want to eliminate R4 and P1 influence.

D1 and D2 diodes produce a small flow of temperature. With P2 we adjust the offset voltage. Because of its high quality, this voltage-frequency converter (VCO) can be used in a large field of applications. Hi Jim, thanks for the reply. Though I am old, and been at this a while now, seems the math involved in electronics takes all the want to out of me on alot of projects. I get alot out of accomplishing working circuits, but the math has never been something that ever stuck with me, even with the use of calculators, I have to re-read the process over and over to formulate an anserw. I am trying to get a 2450Mhz circuit put together. My eyes suck, but have been trying to reverse engineer a salvaged Microwave oven circuit board to find out how to resonate an old M. O. T. for an exsperiment I am doing. I cannot tell on some of the boards I have if it is the Ic doing the oscillations or the pezio buzzer or some other HF switching triac Any Ideas All the salvaged boards, I have three are from digital display and have dig processors on the same boards, so far I have found no switching transistors so I assume one of the IC chips involved is the VIBRATOR Oscillator. Would this circuit with modifications to the RC or replaced with LC work Thanks again Jim, I am not wanting to build microwave oven or transmit a signal, I came to Mhz because of a video I saw. It required the same Hz as used for Microwave Ovens. I have alot of old...
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.....
