Voice activated switch - This circuit uses an MC2830 to form a voice activated switch (VOX). A traditional VOX circuit is unable to distinguish between voice and noise in the incoming signal. In a noisy environment, the switch is often triggered by noise, or the activation sensitivity must be turned down. This circuit overcomes this weakness. The switch is activated by voice level above the noise and not activated by background noise. __ Contact: IQ Technologies

Voltage controllable LFO - This voltage-controlled LFO is based on the PIC 16F684, which is a pretty basic chip. Nonetheless, this LFO has more features than your average LFO. For a start, it can produce 7 basic waveforms, and also includes a noise source. It can also morph its waveforms under CV control, well beyond basic PWM

Voltage-doubling Solar Engine - The Vx2SE is a simple discrete voltage-doubling SE for driving an LED. If the load is a red or green LED, J1 is used together with just one red or green LED for threshold detection (no 1381). For driving a blue LED use two green or red LEDs in series and may require a higher voltage (3V) solar cell. With 100uf capacitors the flash frequency is 2-3Hz and the R2 and R3 resistors may be omitted. With very large capacitors (0.01F and up) the frequency is much lower and the resistors can be optimized to stretch the LED "on" time. The Vx2 solar engines will self trigger but are also sensitive to a drop in light and will trigger from a shadow etc. __ Designed by Wilf Rigter

Volume Control has Log Taper - 04/11/02 EDN-Design Ideas Digital potentiometers provide a compact and convenient way to attenuate audio-amplifier signals. However, most such potentiometers suffer from at least one flaw a nonlogarithmic step increment.

Volume unit meter spans 60 DB dynamic range - 11/10/05 EDN-Design Ideas An audio volume-unit meter displays peak-related audio amplitudes to aid in accurately setting recording levels or for displaying an amplifier's operating conditions. A simple diode and capacitor network provIdeas a classic volume-unit meter's peak-weighted response, but the circuit typically limits response to about 23 dB of displayable dynamic range, and the meter suffers from errors that its pointer's inertia and mechanical "ballistics" introduce. Contemporary displays eliminate the inertia problem by using arrays of lighted elements to form bar graphs, but any shortcomings in response and accuracy characteristics now shift to the signal-processing domain.

VTSE: Variable Threshold Solar Engine - Voltage-Controlled Solar Engine: The "Variable Threshold Solar Engine" is Wilf Rigter's 1381-based design -with a variable "trip" threshold. __ Designed by Wilf Rigter
Vx2SEType 1 (Voltage Controlled) Solar Engine - The VTSE uses the popular 1381 chip and that is its main advantage. The potentiometer (or two fixed resistors) connects one leg between the output and input of the 1381 and the other leg to the supply voltage. These resistors acts like a voltage divider when the SE is off and the 1381 output is low. In that case, the voltage that appears at the 1381 input is determined by the ratio of the pot or the two resistors and is usually set for 2 times rated 1381 voltage. __ Designed by Wilf Rigter |
