PIC Programmer -  As you can see, only a few standard elements are used and the hardware is very simple to build. So here are only a few words about hardware. Supply voltage can be either AC or DC. Voltage Vdd must be between 4.5 and 5.5 V. For this purpose integrated stabiliser 78L05 (Vdd=5V) is used. It has current limitation (protection) 100 mA and with this feature protects inserted PIC from damage in case something is wrong connected. Programming voltage 13V is provided with 78L08.

PLD code creates PWM generators -  8-Aug-02 Issue of EDN  The PLD (programmable-logic-device] code in Listing 1 creates arbitrary-resolution, pulse-width-modulated (PWM] generators. PWM generators are useful as low-bandwidth D/A converters in hardware of microprocessor-based systems. When you pass it through a simple RC lowpass filter, a PWM waveform becomes a voltage that's approximately equal to the PWM duty cycle times the supply voltage.

Program Converts hex to floating point -  07/20/95 EDN-Design Ideas ....You might need to use floating-point variables in some embedded software algorithms. You'll find this easy to do because all modern C compilers come with a floating-point library. However, when you're debugging a routine, you sometimes need to "peek" or "poke" a floating-point variable when all you have available is a hexadecimal interface.  This scenario. [Design Idea by John Santic, Consultant, Frederick, MD]
 
Program designs single supply OpAmp circuits -  10/26/95 EDN-Design Ideas....Mathematically, there is no difference between single- and dual-supply op-amp designs, except for the signal reference. Dual-supply designs inherently reference signals to ground. However, you must use biasing to reference signals to ground in a single-supply design, because the signals are inherently referenced to VCC/2.  This requirement for external bias schemes complicates the design procedure. The Basic program, which you can download from…. [Design Idea by Ronald Mancini and Dave Culver, Harris Semiconductor, Melbourne, FL]
 
Program generates Braille dot code  -  12/19/96 EDN-Design Ideas ....The Basic training program in Listing 1  helps visually handicapped people easily learn Braille dot code with the help of a trainer. The trainer generates six-pin Braille code using six solenoids operating on an LPT1/2 either by directly connecting the low-power solenoids to the data bits of the parallel port or by driving solenoid pins (pull-out type] using an UN2003 power driver (Figure 1]. Push-in type solenoids require complemented (0 for 1 and 1 for 0] Braille-code data bits or an extra inverter on the LPT1 port. [Design Idea by Jose Carlos Cossio, Santander, Spain]
Program helps convert OrCAD libraries -  09/14/95 EDN-Design Ideas ....A simple Borland Turbo C 2.00 program, BIT2VEC.C, is useful for anyone using OrCAD SDT CAE software. The program, which you can download from EDN's FTP server (DI #1755], helps to convert OrCAD libraries from bit map to vector format. [Design Idea by Vincenzo Carlotti, Roland Europe SPA, Acquaviva Picena, ITALY]
Program Matches filter network impedances -  07/20/95 EDN-Design Ideas ....In RF circuits, it's often necessary to match one impedance to another. The program in the Listing 1 can design a network to match any resistive impedance R1 to another R2 (where R1 is less than R2] at a specified frequency and specified Q. The program employs a lossless (in theory] network that uses just capacitors and inductors. Five matching networks. [Design Idea by David Kirkby, University College, London, UK]
Program predicts VSWR mismatch RF uncertainties -  02/01/01 EDN-Design Ideas....Hewlett-Packard (now Agilent Technologies] once offered a useful little cardboard slide rule for calculating the uncertainty in RF  measurements stemming. [Design Idea by Steve Hageman, Agilent Technologies, Santa Rosa, CA]
Program provides integer to binary Conversion  -  03/02/98 EDN-Design Ideas....A simple and inexpensive implementation using an eight-pin 12C508 controller (Microchip Technology, Chandler, AZ] provides both bit-rate detection and a synchronous, appended-clock output from an asynchronous input-data stream (Figure 1a].…File contains many circuits, please scroll to find this one. [Design Idea by Bert Erickson, Fayetteville, NY]
Program provides ISA bus DLL for Windows #2 -  09 May- 96 Issue of EDN  Windows commonly uses a dynamic link library (DLL]to create subroutines and procedures that all compatible software can call. A DLL is an executable file, with extension.DLL, that a program can load and unload as required. However, not all Windows-based software can read from and write to the ISA bus in a PC. The DLL described here provides 8- and 16-bit I/O reads and writes to the ISA bus. [Design Idea by Paul Kemp, NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, TX]
 
Programable LCD counter with memory backup -  This counter based on AT90S1200A its  programmable and when shut it down its keeping  the  current counts to the memory, until to the  power on.…. [Copyright 2003 Serasidis Vasilis]
 
Programmable Charger Fills Capacitor Banks  -  10/08/98 EDN-Design Ideas....Designed for the use with a pyrotechnic pulse generator, the charger in Figure 1 uses low-cost components to charge the C1  capacitor bank to a voltage as high as 75V, or to 25V in a few seconds. A 555 timer, IC1, controls a flyback converter via the Q1  transistor switch....Contains several designs, scroll to find this one. [Design Idea by Dennis Feucht, Innovatia Labs, Townville, PA]

Programmable current-source requires no power supply -  12-Jun-08 Issue of EDN  A programmable current source is useful for creating I-V curves, charging and discharging batteries, preloading power supplies, and many other applications. [Design Idea by John Guy, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA]
Programmable Digital Code Lock -  Schematic/circuit (added 11/05)
Programmable diode biases bridge -  17-Mar-94 Issue of EDN-Design Ideas ....A programmable reference diode, such as the Motorola TL431A, can supply constant-current bias for a silicon pressure-sensor bridge (Fig 1].  This circuit is simpler than using an op Amp and separate reference diode or than using a current diode, which requires temperature compensation.The TL431A produces a VREF of 2.5V over a current range of 1 to 100 mA. The value. [Design by Patrick J Worcester, KAKM TV, Anchorage, AK]
Programmable LED Flashers -  LED goes to steady state after a preset number of flashes.  Two simple, wide supply range operating circuits.  .
Programmable light relay -  Schematic only, no circuit description
Programmable oscillator uses digital potentiometers -  7-Mar-02 Issue of EDN  Digital potentiometers are versatile devices; you can use them in many filtering and waveform-generation applications.  This Design Idea describes an oscillator in which setting the resistance of two digital potentiometers independently programs the oscillation Amplitude and frequency. Figure 1 shows a typical diode-stabilized Wien-bridge oscillator that generates accurate sine waves fro. [Design Idea by Alan Li, Analog Devices, San Jose, CA]
