IC 555
General Description
The operation of SE/NE 555 timer directly depends on its internal function.
The three equal resistors R1, R2, R3 serve as internal voltage divider for the source
voltage. Thus one-third of the source voltage VCC appears across each resistor.
Comparator is basically an Op amp which changes state when one of its
inputs exceeds the reference voltage.
comparator is +1/3 VCC.
comparator drops below +1/3 VCC, it causes a change in state. The upper comparator
is referenced at voltage +2/3 VCC. The output of each comparator is fed to the input
terminals of a flip flop.
The flip-flop used in the SE/NE 555 timer IC is a bistable multivibrator. This
flip flop changes states according to the voltage value of its input. Thus if the voltage
at the threshold terminal rises above +2/3 VCC, it causes upper comparator to cause
flip-flop to change its states. On the other hand, if the trigger voltage falls below +1/3
VCC, it causes lower comparator to change its states. Thus the output of the flip flop
is controlled by the voltages of the two comparators. A change in state occurs when
the threshold voltage rises above +2/3 VCC or when the trigger voltage drops below
+1/3 Vcc.
The output of the flip-flop is used to drive the discharge transistor and the
output stage. A high or positive flip-flop output turns on both the discharge transistor
and the output stage. The discharge transistor becomes conductive and behaves as
a low resistance short circuit to ground. The output stage behaves similarly. When
the flip-flop output assumes the low or zero states reverse action takes place i.e., the
discharge transistor behaves as an open circuit or positive VCC state. Thus the
operational state of the discharge transistor and the output stage depends on the
voltage applied to the threshold and the trigger input terminals.
IC APPLICATIONS LABORATORY
Pin Configuration
Vec/3 triggers the output goes to High. The amplitude of the pulse should be able to
make the comparator (inside the IC) change its state. However the width of the
negative going pulse must not be greater than the width of the expected output pulse.
Pin (3) is the output terminal of IC 555. There are 2 possible output states. In the
low output state, the output resistance appearing at pin (3) is very low (approximately
10 ). As a result the output current will goes to zero , if the load is connected from
Pin (3) to ground , sink a current I Sink (depending upon load) if the load is connected
from Pin (3) to ground, and sinks zero current if the load is connected between +VCC
and Pin (3).
Pin (4) is the Reset terminal. When unused it is connected to +Vcc. Whenever the
potential of Pin (4) is drives below 0.4V, the output is immediately forced to low state.
The reset terminal enables the timer over-ride command signals at Pin (2) of the IC.
Pin (5) is the Control Voltage terminal. This can be used to alter the reference levels
at which the time comparators change state. A resistor connected from Pin (5) to
ground can do the job. Normally 0.01F capacitor is connected from Pin (5) to
ground.
This capacitor bypasses supply noise and does not allow it affect the
threshold voltages.
Pin (6) is the threshold terminal. In both astable as well as monostable modes, a
capacitor is connected from Pin (6) to ground. Pin (6) monitors the voltage across
the capacitor when it charges from the supply and forces the already high O/p to Low
when the capacitor reaches +2/3 VCC.
Pin (7) is the discharge terminal. It presents an almost open circuit when the output
is high and allows the capacitor charge from the supply through an external resistor
and presents an almost short circuit when the output is low.
Pin (8) is the +Vcc terminal. 555 can operate at any supply voltage from +3 to +18V.
Features
1. The load can be connected to o/p in two ways i.e. between pin 3 & ground 1 or
between pin 3 & VCC (supply)
2. 555 can be reset by applying negative pulse, otherwise reset can be connected
to +Vcc to avoid false triggering.
3. An external voltage effects threshold and trigger voltages.
4. Timing from micro seconds through hours.

IC 1496
General Description
IC balanced mixers are widely used in receiver ICs. The IC versions are
usually described as balanced modulators. Typical example of balanced IC
modulator is MC1496. The circuit consists of a standard differential amplifier (formed
by Q5 _ Q6 combination) driving a quad differential amplifier composed of transistor
Q1 Q4.
(between terminals 1 and 4). The standard differential amplifier acts as a voltage to
current converter. It produces a current proportional to the modulating signal. Q7 and
Q8 are constant current sources for the differential amplifier Q5 Q6. The lower
differential amplifier has its emitters connected to the package pins ( 2 & 3) so that an
external emitter resistance may be used. Also external load resistors are employed
at the device output (6 and 12 pins).The output collectors are cross-coupled so that
full wave balanced multiplication takes place. As a result, the output voltage is a
constant times the product of the two input signals.

the terminal this can be non inverting or inverting, if input Vin is connected to the non

A LPF allows frequencies from 0 to higher cut of frequency, fH. At fH the gain

increase in frequency.
increased by 10. Hence the rate at which the gain rolls off after fH is 20dB/decade or
6 dB/ octave, where octave signifies a two fold increase in frequency. The frequency
f=fH is called the cut off frequency because the gain of the filter at this frequency is
down by 3 dB from 0 Hz. Other equivalent terms for cut-off frequency are -3dB
frequency, break frequency, or corner frequency.
HPF
The frequency at which the magnitude of the gain is 0.707 times the maximum
value of gain is called low cut off frequency. Obviously, all frequencies higher than fL
are pass band frequencies with the highest frequency determined by the closed
loop band width all of the op-amp. A HPF allows frequiences grater than lower cut of

Filter is a circuit that accepts certain band of frequencies and rejects other band of
frequencies
frequencies fH and fL such that fH > f L. Any input frequency outside this pass band is
attenuated. There are two types of band-pass filters. Wide band pass and Narrow
band pass filters. We can define a filter as wide band pass if its quality factor Q <10.
If Q>10, then we call the filter a narrow band pass filter. A wide band pass filter can
be formed by simply cascading high-pass and low-pass filter the order of band pass
filter depends on the order of high pass and low pass filter.

band-elimination filter. In this filter, frequencies are attenuated in the stop band while
they are passed outside this band. Band reject filters are classified as wide bandreject narrow band-reject. Wide band-reject filter is formed using a low pass filter, a
high-pass filter and summing amplifier. To realize a band-reject response, the low
cut off frequency fL of high pass filter must be larger than high cut off frequency f H of
low pass filter. The pass band gain of both the high pass and low pass sections must
be equal.
filter, often called the notch fitter is commonly used for the rejection of a single
frequency. The most commonly used notch filter is the twin-T network .This is a
passive filter composed of two T-shaped networks. One T network is made up of two
resistors and a capacitor, while the other uses two capacitors and a resistor. The
passive twin-t network has a relatively low figure of merit can be increased
significantly by using active notch filter as shown in fig.3.The notch-out frequency is
the frequency at which maximum attenuation occurs and is given by

When the power supply VCC is connected, the external timing capacitor C
charges towards VCC with a time constant (RA+RB) C. During this time, pin 3 is high
(VCC) as Reset R=0, Set S=1 and this combination makes Q =0 which has
unclamped the timing capacitor C.
When the capacitor voltage equals 2/3 VCC, the upper comparator triggers the
control flip flop on that Q =1. It makes Q1 ON and capacitor C starts discharging
towards ground through RB and transistor Q1 with a time constant RBC. Current also
flows into Q1 through RA. Resistors RA and RB must be large enough to limit this
current and prevent damage to the discharge transistor Q1. The minimum value of
RA is approximately equal to VCC/0.2 where 0.2A is the maximum current through the
ON transistor Q1.
During the discharge of the timing capacitor C, as it reaches VCC/3, the lower
comparator is triggered and at this stage S=1, R=0 which turns Q =0. Now Q =0
unclamps the external timing capacitor C.
charged and discharged between 2/3 VCC and 1/3 VCC respectively. The length of
time that the output remains HIGH is the time for the capacitor to charge from 1/3 VCC
to 2/3 VCC.
The capacitor voltage for a low pass RC circuit subjected to a step input of
VCC volts is given by VC = VCC [1- exp (-t/RC)]

The circuit shows an inverting comparator with positive feed back. This circuit
converts orbitrary wave forms to a square wave or pulse. The circuit is known as the
Schmitt trigger (or) squaring circuit. The input voltage Vin changes the state of the
output Vo every time it exceeds certain voltage levels called the upper threshold
voltage Vut and lower threshold voltage Vlt.
When Vo= - Vsat , the voltage across R1 is referred to as lower threshold
voltage, Vlt . When Vo=+Vsat , the voltage across R1 is referred to as upper threshold
voltage Vut.
The comparator with positive feed back is said to exhibit hysterisis, a dead

Theory
The frequency divider is inserted between the VCO and the phase
comparator of PLL. Since the output of the divider is locked to the input frequency fIN,
the VCO is actually running at a multiple of the input frequency .The desired amount
of multiplication can be obtained by selecting a proper divide by N network ,where
N is an integer. To obtain the output frequency f OUT=2fIN, N = 2 is chosen. One must
determine the input frequency range and then adjust the free running frequency fOUT
of the VCO by means of R1 and C1 so that the output frequency of the divider is
midway within the predetermined input frequency range. The output of the VCO now
should be 2fIN . The output of the VCO should be adjusted by varying potentiometer
R1. A small capacitor is connected between pin7 and pin8 to eliminate possible
oscillations. Also, capacitor C2 should be large enough to stabilize the VCO
frequency.

Theory
The VCO is a free running Multivibrator and operates at a set frequency fo
called free running frequency. This frequency is determined by an external timing
capacitor and an external resistor. It can also be shifted to either side by applying a
d.c control voltage vc to an appropriate terminal of the IC. The frequency deviation is
directly proportional to the dc control voltage and hence it is called a voltage
controlled oscillator or, in short, VCO.
The output frequency of the VCO can be changed either by R1, C1 or the
voltage VC at the modulating input terminal (pin 5). The voltage VC can be varied by
connecting a R1R2 circuit. The components R1 and C1 are first selected so that VCO
output frequency lies in the centre of the operating frequency range.
Now the
modulating input voltage is usually varied from 0.75 VCC which can produce a
frequency variation of about 10 to 1.

A voltage regulator is a circuit that supplies a constant voltage regardless of
changes in load current and input voltage variations. Using IC 723, we can design
both low voltage and high voltage regulators with adjustable voltages.
For a low voltage regulator, the output VO can be varied in the range of
voltages Vo < Vref, where as for high voltage regulator, it is VO > Vref. The voltage Vref
is generally about 7.5V. Although voltage regulators can be designed using Opamps, it is quicker and easier to use IC voltage Regulators.
IC 723 is a general purpose regulator and is a 14-pin IC with internal short
circuit current limiting, thermal shutdown, current/voltage boosting etc. Furthermore
it is an adjustable voltage regulator which can be varied over both positive and
negative voltage ranges. By simply varying the connections made externally, we can
operate the IC in the required mode of operation. Typical performance parameters
are line and load regulations which determine the precise characteristics of a
regulator. The pin configuration and specifications are shown in the Appendix-A.

A voltage regulator is a circuit that supplies a constant voltage regardless of
changes in load current and input voltage. IC voltage regulators are versatile,
relatively inexpensive and are available with features such as programmable output,
current/voltage boosting, internal short circuit current limiting, thermal shunt down
and floating operation for high voltage applications.
The 78XX series consists of three-terminal positive voltage regulators with
seven voltage options. These ICs are designed as fixed voltage regulators and with
adequate heat sinking can deliver output currents in excess of 1A.
The 79XX series of fixed output voltage regulators are complements to the
78XX series devices. These negative regulators are available in same seven voltage
options.
Typical performance parameters for voltage regulators are line regulation,
load regulation, temperature stability and ripple rejection. The pin configurations and
typical parameters at 250C are shown in the Appendix-B.

increasingly efficient, reliable, and economical operation with the development of the
microprocessor, data processing has become an integral part of various systems
Data processing involves transfer of data to and from the micro computer via
input/output devices. Since digital systems such as micro computers use a binary
system of ones and zeros, the data to be put into the micro computer must be
converted from analog to digital form.
converter is used when a binary output from a digital system must be converted to
some equivalent analog voltage or current. The function of DAC is exactly opposite
to that of an ADC.
A DAC in its simplest form uses an op-amp and either binary weighted
resistors or R-2R ladder resistors. In binary-weighted resistor op-amp is connected
in the inverting mode, it can also be connected in the non inverting mode. Since the
number of inputs used is four, the converter is called a 4-bit binary digital converter.
