555 Timer Tutorial + Circuits - What exactly is an OPerational AMPlifier? Let's define what that component is and look at the parameters of this amazing device. An operational amplifier IC is a solid-state integrated circuit that uses external feedback to control its functions. it is one of the most versatile devices in all of electronics. The term 'op-amp' was originally used to describe a chain of high performance dc amplifiers that was used as a basis for the analog type computers of long ago. __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR 555 Tone Generator 8 Ohm Speaker - This is a basic 555 squarewave oscillator used to produce a 1 Khz tone from an 8 ohm speaker. in the circuit on the left, the speaker is isolated from the oscillator by the NPN medium power transistor which also provides more current than can be obtained directly from the 555 (limit = 200 mA). A small capacitor is used at the transistor __ Designed by Bill Bowden
555 Triangle Waveform Generator - The circuit is a triangle waveform generator that uses as few parts as possible. A 555 timer IC , 2 resistors and two capacitors make the triangle wave. The IC is connected in a 50% duty-cycle astable square-wave oscillator circuit. The square-wave output is fed from pin 3 of the IC to an RC shaping circuit. When the __ Designed by Popescu Marian
555 VCO - By adjusting the voltage on pin 5, (the CONTROL pin) the frequency of the oscillator can be adjusted quite considerably. __ 555-Timer
555 Voltage Doubler Relay Driver - These novel relay driver circuits have the ability to pick up a relay with a coil voltage rating equal to double Vcc. After pickup, the relay armature is held via the application of Vcc. Under this condition, the coil power is reduced by the square of the voltage ratio, or to 25%. This is the ultimate in relay economy—the __ Designed by Jim Keith

555-based solar engine - Type 2 (time-controlled) Solar Engines - in March of 2003, Manfred Schaffran posted a solar engine design using a 555 timer IC . Wilf Rigter simplified this circuit a bit, made it phototropic, and doubled it up to yield a photopopper design in a post later the same day. I'vegot this design written up elsewhere in the library. __ Designed by Manfred Schaffran & Wilf Rigter
5V Powered, Quartz-Stabilized 10kHz Voltage to Frequency Converter has 0.0015% Linearity & 8ppm/°C Temperature Coefficient - Almost all precision voltage-to-frequency converters utilize charge pump based feedback for stability. These schemes rely on a capacitor for stability. A great deal of effort towards this approach has resulted in high performance V to F converters. Obtaining temperature coefficients below 100ppm/°C requires careful attention __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Mar 25th 2010

7 segment rolling display using PC - it is very interesting and convenient to be able to control everything while sitting at your PC terminal. Here, a simple hardware circuit and software is used to interface a 7-segment based rolling display. The printer port of a PC provides a set of points with some acting as input lines and some others as output lines. Some lines are open collector type which can be used as input lines. The circuit given here can be used for interfacing with any type of PC?s printer port.

74ACT74 makes low-skew clock divider - 12/17/98 EDN Design Ideas: Serial-data systems often generate an internal clock at twice the data rate for mid-bit sampling or for generating bi-phase codes. External equipment and some internal processes require a clock that runs at the data rate. Simply dividing the twice-rate clock with a flip-flop generates a data-rate clock that is skewed by one logic delay with respect to the input. This delay can be a significant fraction of the bit period. You can use specialized PLL-based low-skew divider chips Page includes several designs.
