A primer on binary-arithmetic rounding - 01/21/99 EDN-Design Ideas - (Scroll to find this one) As digital communications and data compression/decompression proliferate, signal-processing functions grow in importance. Whether you’re dealing with hard-wired logic or programmable engines, an understanding of binary-arithmetic rounding is important in getting correct and consistent results. Before we discuss rounding, consider a binary number (Figure 1) Page includes

Bat Detector The Simple Bat Detector is a frequency division type device. Frequency division type detectors allow you to hear ultrasonic sound by digitally scaling the frequency down into the human hearing range. For instance, a western pipistrelle bat emits ultrasonic sound in the range __ Designed by Tony Messina-Las Vegas, NV
Build a Large Ultrasonic Cleaner Most readers would know that you can obtain small ultrasonic cleaners for jewellery and similar small items. So why not a much larger version? It would be great for cleaning automotive and other mechanical parts, fabrics which cannot be machine washed, ornate bric-a-brac and a host of other hard-to-clean items. __ SiliconChip

Dog Whistle - It's well known that many animals are particularly sensitive to high-frequency sounds that humans can't hear. Many commercial pest repellers based on this principle are available, most of them operating in the range of 30 to 50 kHz. __ Designed by Tomaz Lazar-Ljubljana, Slovenia
Fast Integer Multipliers Fit In FPGA - 05/12/94 EDN-Design Ideas You can fit a fast and compact digital multiplier into a field-programmable gate array(FPGA]. The technique involves using small look-up tables to find partial products and then adding the partial products. The key factor for making the design compact, fast, and easy to implement is to make the look-up tables for the partial products as small as possible. This multiplier can quickly multiply a number by a constant; changing the constant momentarily takes the multiplier off-line Design by Kenneth David Chapman, Xilinx Ltd, byfleet, Surrey, UK

PIC16F873 Ultrasonic Range Meter - On these pages, I will introduce the Ultrasonic Range Meter with PIC16F873. As for the range meter which doesn't use PIC, refer to "Ultrasonic Range Meter". I created the PCB pattern for this circuit using EAGLE CAD. With this circuit, the following features of PIC16F873 are used. __ Designed by Seiichi Inoue
Receiver-Ultrasonic Switch - The circuit described generates (transmits) ultrasonic sound of frequency between 40 and 50 kHz. As with any other remote control system this cirucit comprises of a mini transmitter and a receiver circuit. Transmitter generates ultrasonic sound and the receiver senses ultrasonic sound from the transmitter and switches on a relay __ Designed by Andy Wilson
