Dekatron-device used for dividing by 10 during the valve era - The circuit diagram is almost the same as Mike's. I added an ON/OFF switch and an additional toggle switch to stop the spin. The resistors are standard types (according to Mike I should've used higher power ones to ensure adequate voltage rating) ; the capacitors need to have sufficient voltage rating. I didn't have anything rated 400V so I used two 330nF capacitors in series in two places. __ Designed by Hans Summers
Delay Line Aids in One-shot Simulations - EDN Design Ideas: 04/26/01 Many designers use small pulse generators to delay signals, open timing windows, drive sample/hold circuits, and other functions. Though the hardware implementation of these generators does not pose any problems, the lack of dedicated circuitry sometimes puzzles the Spice simulation of the system. A common approach to this problem is to implement a time constant involving a resistor, a capacitor, and a comparator. Unfortunately, each time you need a time constant, you must recalculate the resistor value, the capacitor value, or both. Despite the fact that inline equations can do this job for you, delay lines can often offer a smarter solution. Design by Christophe Basso, On Semiconductor, Toulouse, France
Delay line eases Spice Dead-time generation - 03/02/00 EDN Design Ideas: Generating complementary clock signals in a Spice simulation is an easy task. However, this task gets much harder if you need to introduce some dead time into the signals. This difficulty is especially true when you're dealing with a variable-pulse-width- Design by Christophe Basso, On Semiconductor, Toulouse, Cedex, France
Delay line has wide duty-cycle range - 06/27/02 EDN Design Ideas: Today's digital delay lines can process pulses no shorter than their delay times, and that restriction confines the devices to applications in which the duty cycle remains near 50%. A limited range of available delays (2 to 100 nsec per tap] further limits their use. Longer delay is available with one-shot multivibrators of standard digital-logic families, but those devices do not retain duty-c Design by John Guy, Maxim Integrated Products, Sunnyvale, CA
Delay Line implements Clock Doubler - Timing delays are undesirable in most digital circuits. However, in some cases, delays can be useful—to deal with a µP-speed-compatibility issue, for example. The circuit in Figure 1a uses a silicon T/4 delay line and an XOR gate to implement a simple clock doubler. Using a 5-nsec delay unit, a 50- MHz, 50% duty-cycle square-wave input produces a 100-MHz, 50% duty-cycle output clock. Using a more precise delay line, the circuit can output a triple clock (Figure 1b). Design by Y Li, SAE magnetics HK Ltd, Guang Dong Province, China - 7/18/96
Delay line upgrades vintage scope - 04/18/02 EDN Design Ideas: Vintage triggered-sweep oscilloscopes find use in many applications. However, they have no internal delay line, so they can't display the pulse that triggers the sweep. Moreover, early laboratory scopes contain delay lines having insufficient delay to display such pulses during a uniform portion of the sweep Design by Robert Houtman, Blaine, WA
