Transistor pair lowers PWM IC’s start-up current - 03/18/99 EDN-Design
Ideas....An auxiliary winding usually provides power for the popular
UC384X-based offline switch-mode power supplies (SMPSs). This winding
feeds the main PWM controller….PDF contains multiple circuits, scroll

TV Modulator - This circuit uses an MC1373 to form a TV video
modulator (added 5/02)
Two Transistor Circuit Replaces IC - Bi-directional IIC buffer is
enhanced to add an enable pin accommodating hot-swappable operation.
Replaced LTC4300.… [Jim Haggerman, Hagerman Technology LLC]
Variations on the PWM DC Motor Speed Control - The diagrams are for 12V
operation only and there are high side (common ground) and low side (common +12V)
versions. The low side version is in fact, identical to the original circuit when
wired for 12V operation. The low side version allows the use of higher power and more
inexpensive N Channel FETs, whereas the high side version, which uses P Channel FETs
is used where common ground load wiring is a requirement. [G. Forrest Cook]
VHF/UHF TV Modulator - Simple oscillator that generates a frequency in the
VHF or UHF region. The oscillator is modulated with the video signal and the modulated
carrier wave thus generated is fed into the TV set's aerial input via a cable. Then
all that remains to do is tune the TV to the correct frequency.
Video Design Idea: Leverage PWM output and add a low-cost DAC to your system -
19-Jul-07 Issue of EDN Bonnie Baker demonstrates a simple way to add DAC
functionality to a microcontroller-based system using only an op amp and two passive
components....[Design Idea by Bonnie Baker, senior applications engineer at Texas
Instruments and regular EDN columnist]
Waveform Generator Demodulates FM Signals - 10/10/96 EDN-Design Ideas....The
circuit in Figure 1 uses the phase-detector signals of a precision waveform-generator
IC to perform FM demodulation. In a standard application, the IC's phase-detector
input and output synchronize the chip's output frequency to that of an applied signal.
If the signal is FM, you can extract the demodulated signal from the phase-detector
output. The waveform generator....[Design Idea by Doug Vargha, Maxim Integrated
