VCO
from CMOS Schmitt Trigger IC - By changing the
supply voltage fed to a classic 4584 Schmitt trigger type oscillator, the oscillator frequency can be changed
over a range of 50:1. A 74HCU04 inverter is used at the output of the 4584 to maintain a constant TTL logic
level signal . . . [Hobby Circuit designed by David A. Johnson P.E., 03/12/02]
VCO Has Digitally Programmable Center Frequency - 04/25/96 EDN Design Idea The circuits in Figure 1 illustrates a narrowband VCO, which has
a digitally programmable center-frequency ratio of greater than 2-to-1. With a VCO having center-frequency
ratio (F HIGH/FLOW]of greater than 2-to-1, you can derive . . . [by Paul Sofianos, Motorola LICD, Chandler,

Low-Noise - 10/28/99 EDN-Design Idea Many portable
RF products use VCOs to generate the RF carrier frequency. These applications often require low-noise VCO
power-supply voltages that are higher than the primary battery voltage. Many designs use a DC/DC converter
powering a low-noise linear . . . [by Ted Henderson]

simple capacitance meter - 06/07/01 EDN Design Idea
When you develop the prototype of a circuit using capacitors or when you replace an old, defective capacitor
with a new one, you often need to know the value of the capacitor you use or replace. At times, the values

Volt/F Converter Draws Flea Power - 04/24/97 EDN Design Idea The V/F converter in Figure 1 is unique because it draws less
than 30 µA from one unregulated supply while converting bipolar input voltages. It produces three
CMOS-compatible, 0to 10-kHz outputsone (F+]that becomes active when the input voltage is positive, another (F]that

Voltage-Controlled Resistor - A common request from
SPICE users is a voltage-controlled resistor. Although there's no SPICE component that directly models this
device, you can easily put one together. There's several ways to do it. You can even extend the device to
model more complex resistance functions like RTDs and thermistors (spice design) . . .
Voltage-To-Current Converter Makes A Flexible Current Reference - 09/18/03 EDN Design Idea The voltage-to-current converter in Figure 1 can both source
