Tone generator circuit by 555 timer
Monday, February 15th, 2010





Simple, low component count tone generator. It can be adapted to create a morse code circuit, by adding a switch to the output.
This circuit is based around the 555 timer circuit, used as an astable (free running) oscillator. The frequency (pitch) of the tone is set by the resistors and capacitors in the left side [...]

PAL Colour Encoder TEA2000
Tuesday, March 10th, 2009





A PAL color encoder and video summer which requires just composite sync and composite blanking inputs, and a 6-bit binary coded input giving the color information. The inputs are organized as 2 bits per primary color with gamma correction automatically applied to the resultant luminance and chrominance levels. Link

Light to Frequency Converter TSL220
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009





A large area photodiode and current to frequency converter combined in a clear plastic 8-pin DIL package. The output is a pulse train whose frequency is directly proportional to the light intensity. The output is CMOS compatible (use a 3k3 pulldown resistor to drive LS TTL) and the frequency can be measured by pulse counting, [...]
