Reset provides snappy action - 04/29/99 EDN-Design Ideas NOTE
: Scroll to find this circuit. The circuit in Figure 1 provides a 1-sec reset, using multiple AND gates for increased fanout. Intended for breadboarding or prototyping, the circuit generates a "snappy" master reset that remains active long enough to eliminate questionable start-ups.

Reset supervisor waits for stable supply - 17-Apr-03 EDN-Design Ideas Get more power with a boosted triodeThe power-up cycle of the supply voltage in embedded-system applications is sometimes not a clean event. This fact holds especially true in battery-operated systems, because the insertion of a battery often causes significant ringing or glitching on the supply line(Figure 1). In products with on-off switches, the contact bounce of the switch can cause an unclean power-up Design by Mike Mitchell, Texas Instruments, Dallas, TX

Resistor packs eliminate temperature drift - 06/19/97 EDN-Design Ideas Finding low-temperature-coefficient resistors for 10-bit or more accurate analog applications is often a problem in the laboratory. Even if you have a good collection of precision, low-temperature-coefficient resistors in stock, chances are they won't track across even room temperatures.

Resistor-Switch Networks for Audio Volume Control - The traditional potentiometer is implemented with an electrical contact that slides over a resistive layer. An example of a well-known audio-grade potmeter is the Alps Blue. I still use this one myself. A high-end (good and costly) alternative is the rotary switch. This device consists of a series of discrete resistors and switches, of which always one switch is actually closed. Resistor-switch networks can offer advantages over the potentiometer such as: * Improved quality of the electrical contact, in comparison with the slider. * Improved consistency between separate audio channels (stereo or multi-channel) * Less sensitive to dust and wear.

Restaurant Table Service Request Flasher - A single 3v lithium coin cell battery powers the device. Four super bright green LEDs are flashed when the assembly was rotated into the “Requested Service” position. A tilt switch senses when the device is in that position. A simple timer turns off the flasher after 3 minutes, if left in the flashing position. . . . Dave Johnson, Lubbock TX-DC Magazine - Issue 13 Nov 2010

RF Wireless PWM DC Motor Speed control - The wireless PWM DC motor transmitter circuit consists of WZ-X01 RF module, Holtek HT-640 encoder and 8-bit A/D converter. U1 ADC0804 converts the analog voltage to digital data; U2 encodes that data (D0~D6) along with D6, D7 and transmitting through the RF transmitter module. The potentiometer VR1 varies the voltage to the A/D U1 pin6, __ Contact: info @ wzmicro.com
Ring your bell; light your light - 11/11/99 EDN-Desgin IdeasThe circuit in Figure 1 provIdeas a simple and inexpensive way to provide illumination for a dark doorway. Pressing the doorbell button momentarily rings the doorbell and turns on the porch light. The porch light remains on for approximately 25 sec and then turns off. This interval is long enough for a person to find his or her way when it's dark. Design by Dennis Eichenberg
Ring-Around LED Flasher - This schematic diagram shows a ring-around LED flasher circuit. This circuit will turn off two LEDs and turn on the other two until the timing cycle reverses. This circuit can be configured to flash four LEDs in sequential order by pressing and holding S1 closed until only one of the LEDs is on then releasing it.
Ringing Phone Light Flasher - This is very useful in a situation were there is lots of noise and it is impossable to hear the phone, such as a workshop. Here is such a device. The ring detect part of this circuit came from [url]http://www. hut. fi/Misc/Electronics/circuits/telephone_ringer. html[/url]. Notes: 1. You may need to use a lower voltage zener for D1 and D2.2. You can use a regular relay instead of a solid state relay, but the arcing accross the contacts may destroy it pretty quickly.3. Be very sure that you have not accidentally connected 120V to the phone line when building and installing this __ Designed by Aaron Cake

Rotary Controller Positions Stepping Motor - EDN-Design Ideas 08/03/95 The circuit in Fig 1 uses a servo potentiometer, as opposed to a rotary switch or encoder, to provide the necessary drive pulses for a stepping motor. This motor positions a pointer by the rotation of a manual control. The circuit must be precise, allow a rapid response, and be simple to use. (This circuit was part of a complex apparatus used for a series of physiological tests.) Another requirement is that the control had to be a small, handheld, battery-operated device.
