Simple 6 Digit 40MHz Frequency Counter Module -  Here is the design for a very low cost 6-digit frequency counter module using of the shelf components (and not that expensive 74C926!). The standard circuit will display directly in Hz (1MHz max) , and there is a separate on board divider that will allow you to display directly in KHz (approx 40MHz max). Because the display reads directly in Hz or KHz. . .  [David L. Jones]

 

Simple Anticipator Circuit Improves On Earlier Idea -  05/24/12  EDN Design Idea   A self-biasing thermistor circuit had an overall dominant thermal/electrical time constant as small as 25 msec but had a significantly rounded response following a square (thermal) input pulse of 100 msec; the source was a pulsed blue LED. A single-op-amp-based “anticipator-like” circuit generated a more faithful picture of the actual input excitation. . .  [by Nicholas Lockerbie, Scottish Universities Physics Alliance, Glasgow, Scotland]

Simple circuit provides timebase calibration -  04/24/97 EDN Design Idea   The circuit in Figure 1 provides an inexpensive and quick way to check the timebase speeds and linearity in vintage oscilloscopes. Component aging in the oscilloscopes sometimes alters the timebase parameters enough to yield gros. . .  [by William Whitehead, Lafayette, CO]

 

Simple circuit times bathroom fan -  04/27/00 EDN Design Idea   Forget to turn off the ceiling fan in your bathroom? Install the simple timer in Figure 1. It's located out-of-sight in the fan unit, and you turn it on via the wall switch. The circuit costs virtually nothing, using "junk" parts. When ac power appears, . . .  [by Maxwell Strange, Goddard Space Flight Center, Fulton, MD]

Simple Component and Continuity Tester -  This simple project can be used to test components, circuit board tracks, wires and connections. . . .  [Designed by John Hewes]

 

Simple counter for frequency measurements in VHF/UHF band -  This simple counter is useful for frequency measurements of various wireless equipments, especially transmitters, receivers and signal generators in VHF/UHF band (. . . 

 

Simple Diode Temperature Sensor With Frequency Output -  The LTC6992 is a silicon oscillator with an easy-to-use analog voltage-controlled pulse width modulation (PWM) capability. The LTC6992 is part of the TimerBlox family of versatile silicon timing devices. A single resistor, RSET, programs the LTC6992’s internal master oscillator frequency. The output frequency is determined. . .  [Linear Technology App Note, Jun 16th 2010]

 

Simple Divide by N using '161s -  Here is a simple circuit for obtaining divide-by-N from '161s. The technique will work for one, two, or more dividers to obtain the desired N value. One counter handles N values up to 16, two counters divide by N values up to 256, etc. . .  [Charles Wenzel (unless otherwise noted)]

 

Simple Electronic 'Lock' -  There are six (or more) push switches. To 'unlock' you must press all the correct ones at the same time, but not press any of the cancel switches. Pressing just one cancel switch will prevent the circuit unlocking. When the circuit unlocks it actually just turns on an LED for about one second, but it is intended to be adapted to turn on a relay which could be used to switch on another circuit. Most relays cost about £2 to £3 extra. . .  [Designed by John Hewes]

 

Simple Event counter -  Schematic only, no circuit description. . .  [Designer's name not given]

 

Simple Parking Counter -  The circuit is built around comparator LM311 (IC1), timer 555 (IC2), 4-digit counter IC 74C926 (IC3), four LTS543 seven-segment displays (DIS1 through DIS4), four npn transistors BC548 (T1 through T4), a foot switch S2 and a few discrete components. . . .  [© EFY Enterprises Pvt.

Simple Timer Exploits Op-Amp Bias Current -  07/21/94 EDN Design Idea   The simple, low-cost analog timer in Fig 1 exploits the parasitic input-bias current of op-amp IC1. The timer achieves long time delays even though it uses only low-value, inexpensive ceramic chip capacitors. After all, because t. . .  [by Aleksandr Belousov, Baltimore, MD]

 

Simple Timer Remembers Your Rhythm -  01/05/95 EDN Design Idea   The unpretentious controller in Fig 1 remembers the interval between your pressing its start and stop buttons. Thereafter, the controller switches the load on and off every day at the same times as you did. You reset the controll. . .  [by MS Nagaraj, ISRO Satellite Centre, Bangalore, Karnataka, India]

 

Simplest 555 Oscillator -  The simplest 555 oscillator takes output pin 3 to capacitor C1 viaresistor R1. When the circuit is turned on, C1 is uncharged and output pin 3 is HIGH. C1 charges via R1 and when Pin 6 detects 2/3 rail voltage, output pin 3 goes LOW. R1 now discharges capacitor. . .  [No designer name given]

 

Simplified Analysis of Phase-Locked Loop Capture & Tracking Range AN 1200-7 -  Application Note. . .  [Aligent]

 

Simplified Measurement of Output Impedance -  AS048 Application Note (app note 6/07) . . .  [Jenson Transformers]

 

Single Digit Scoreboard -  a compact general purpose display. . .  [by P. Townshend - EduTek Ltd]

 

Single Gate Synchronizes Clock -  10/27/94 EDN Design Idea   The deceptively simple circuit in Fig 1 harbors formidable power. Consider when you have a data-clock input to your system for an existing serial data stream. Then, your system people surprise you. . .  [by Phil Harvey, Technology Integration Inc., Bedford, MA]

 

Single-Chip Clock Generator with 14-Channel Distribution Solves Timing Challenges in Networks -  Analog Devices-Analog Dialogue. . .  [by Behrhorst, Scott]

 

Single-digit Nixie clock -  A while ago I found a Burroughs B-5853 Nixie tube kicking around in the lab and decided that I should put it to good use. Since I only had one of this size, I wanted to make a single-digit display out of it. . . .  [© 2007 by Riad S. Wah[by]

 

Siren 100dB -  This is a very loud siren and if two or more piezo's are located in a room, the burglar does not know where the sound is coming from. . . .  [No designer name given]
