Improved PL Tone Decoder - A significant amount of interest has been generated since my last article on a PL tone board. Because of this interest I decided to improve on the old PL tone design. Figure 1 is an inexpensive PL tone generator with significantly improved performance. It has a much more stable tone frequency as well as the elimination of the loading problem on the output. The transistor used in the old circuit would cause the tone frequency to change at high levels. This month's circuit eliminates all those problems __ Designed by Radio Amateur Society of Norwich
LFSR provides encryption - 09/13/01 EDN-Design Ideas LFSRs(linear-feedback shift registers] find extensive use in cryptography.

Microcontroller visualizes hex code - 04/27/00 EDN-Design Ideas In µC systems, information exchanges usually use the hexadecimal 1-2-4-8 format; output data also appear in this format. Reading the hex code is not a problem; several LEDs connected to the output lines can display the answer. The problem arises when you wish to observe the output data. Many engineers are unfamiliar with hex code and prefer to observe data in the common decimal format. __ Circuit Design by Abel Raynus
NTE789 Stereo Decoder - The NTE789, a monolithic silicon integrated circuit, is a stereo multiplex decoder intended for FM multiplex systems.
