Timer automatically shuts off - 08/17/00 EDN-Design Ideas The circuit in Figure 1 is a programmable power switch that offers on-state periods of 5 sec to three hours. It consumes zero power in the off state and has zero voltage drop in the on state. S1 is a power-on switch. When you press S1, the battery powers an eight-pin PIC12C508 µC Design by Yongping Xia, Teldata Inc, Los Angeles, CA
Timer Controls DSP-Filter Frequency Resolution - 04/13/95 EDN-Design Ideas To implement low-frequency digital filters, you can use low-power microcontrollers instead of dedicated DSP ICs. However, using 8-bit or even 16-bit math can quickly lead to significant filter dynamic-range errors and to complicated routines for precise digital-filter coefficients. By using a µC's 8-bit timer to set the sampling rate for a digital filter's data processing, you can obtain finer frequency resolution while using simple math routines.

Touch Switch using 4011 CMOS
NAND Gate IC - A touch switch is a switch that is turned on and off by touching a wire contact, instead of flicking a lever like a regular switch. Touch switches have no mechanical parts to wear out, so they last a lot longer than regular switches. Touch switches can be used in places where regular switches would not last, such as wet or very dusty areas __ Designed by Aaron Cake

Trace dimension control reduces crosstalk - 02/17/97 EDN-Design Ideas If you assemble a high-performance system using multiple single-board computers and a common backplane, you can encounter unacceptable levels of coupled noise, or crosstalk. This problem can plague such high-speed systems as real-time image-recognition systems or real-time video servers. Crosstalk, which is unwanted voltage capacitively coupled from a switching line to an adjacent quiet line, can cause false switching and random failures that are difficult and time-consuming to troubleshoot.

Transistor LED flasher - This circuit has a lot going for it. For one thing, it only consists of two transistors, two capacitors and four resistors. That also means it consumes very little power. You can control the flash rate by changing the size of the 100k resistors (100k makes for a pretty slow rate). You can also control the duty cycle by using resistors of different values on the two sides __ Designed by Colin Pringle

Transistor quickly wakes sleeping LDO - 09/01/98 EDN-Design Ideas NOTE
: File has many circuits, scroll down. Portable systems, such as telephone handsets, make extensive use of low-dropout (LDO) regulators. These components provide noise-sensitive parts with a stable power-supply line. When a telephone enters standby mode, most of the circuits go to sleep by disabling the LDO's outputs. Operating current thus drops to a minimal level. When a user starts to dial a number, the LDO receives an enable signal and immediately delivers the nominal operating voltage. Unfortunately, most low-noise LDOs use a bypass capacitor that briefly loads the internal reference voltage upon wake-up. Design by Christophe Basso, Motorola Semiconductor, Toulouse, France
Transistor-Switch Detects Audio Signal - For some audio systems it is desirable to have an automatic switch circuit turn on other devices, such as an amplifier, if an audio signal is detected on one line. The hobby circuit below will activate a transistor switch when it detects at least 50mv peak to peak of an audio signal. The switch could be used to turn on a relay, routing the signal to where it is needed. A single 3v lithium cell will power the electronic circuit for about 5 years . . .
