Frequency Divider Circuit


Frequency Divider Circuit Diagram

This is a frequency divider circuit, or a circuit whose output frequency is a fraction of the frequency of its input.  The main component of this circuit is the 555, a versatile timer IC.  In this circuit, it is configured as a monostable multivibrator, i.e., it will output a single pulse at pin 3 every time its pin 2 is 'triggered' by a pulse.
 
The width of the output pulse at pin 3 of the circuit above is defined by the product of R1 and C1, i.e., increasing the value of R1C1 will increase the output pulse width. Once the circuit above is triggered by a pulse at pin 2, the pin 3 output pulse cycle defined by R1C1 will first have to be completed before any subsequent pulses at pin 2 can trigger the circuit again. R1C1 of the circuit above can therefore be adjusted to define the number of input pulses equivalent to a single output pulse. Thus, this circuit is in effect dividing the input frequency by an integer.

NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram

The NE566 Function Generator is a Voltage-Controlled Oscillator of exceptional linearity with buf fered square wave and triangle wave outputs. The frequency of oscillation is determined by an external resistor and capacitor and the voltage applied to the control terminal. The Oscillator CAN be programmed over a ten-to-one frequency range by proper selection of an external resistance and modulated over a ten-to-one range by the control voltage, with exceptional linearity.  FMAX = 1 MHz     WIDE 1000:1 Continuous Sweep Possible  NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram Pdf Datasheet  Sourced by : Circuitsstream

Transceiver Homebrew QRP SSB 80M Band

Radio communication transceiver is a radio transmitter at the same time the plane doubles as a radio receiver used for communication purposes. It consists of the transmitter and the receiver are assembled in an integrated way. In mulamula generation, the transmitter or receiver or transmitter and receiver sections are assembled separately and is part of a stand sendirisendiri and can work well sendirisendiri Currently employed both parts are integrated in turn. Aircraft simple transmitter consists of an oscillator generating radio vibration and this vibration after vibration boarded with our voice, in a technique called dimodulir radio, then by the antenna is converted into radio waves and transmitted. As we know that the sound waves we can not reach long distances, although its power is quite large, while the radio waves with a relatively small force can reach a distance of thousands of kilometers. In order for our voice can reach a far distance, then our voice superimposed on radio w...
