This circuit can be programmed for step up, step down, positive, negative, voltage and current regulation. Robert Frostholm 51/2 February 1980 Not just another digital clock [2] 5 + 1 ⁄ 2-inch high single-digit LED readout makes this clock unique. John D. Warobiew 51/2 February 1980 Automotive burglar alarm [3] Build it for less than $20.
Clock signal and legend. In electronics and especially synchronous digital circuits, a clock signal (historically also known as logic beat) [1] is an electronic logic signal (voltage or current) which oscillates between a high and a low state at a constant frequency and is used like a metronome to synchronize actions of digital circuits.
Digital clocks typically use the 50 or 60 hertz oscillation of AC power or a 32,768 hertz crystal oscillator as in a quartz clock to keep time. Most digital clocks display the hour of the day in 24-hour format; in the United States and a few other countries, a commonly used hour sequence option is 12-hour format (with some indication of AM or PM).
Silicon die of the first 555 chip (1971) Die of a CMOS NXP ICM7555 chip The timer IC was designed in 1971 by Hans Camenzind under contract to Signetics. [3] In 1968, he was hired by Signetics to develop a phase-locked loop (PLL) IC.
A timing diagram can contain many rows, usually one of them being the clock. It is a tool commonly used in digital electronics, hardware debugging, and digital communications. Besides providing an overall description of the timing relationships, the digital timing diagram can help find and diagnose digital logic hazards.
Watchdog timers are implemented in various ways. Some electronic WDTs (e.g., Analog Devices MAX6324) use linear timing circuits that operate without a digital clock signal. Other electronic WDTs, and software WDTs, typically employ digital counters as timers and rely on a clock signal for proper operation.
Fire alarm bell. Fire alarm bells are divided into two categories: vibrating, and single-stroke. On a vibrating bell, the bell will ring continuously until the power is cut off. When power is supplied to a single-stroke bell, the bell will ring once and then stop. It will not ring again until power is turned off and on again.
A clock generator is an electronic oscillator that produces a clock signal for use in synchronizing a circuit's operation. The output clock signal can range from a simple symmetrical square wave to more complex arrangements. The basic parts that all clock generators share are a resonant circuit and an amplifier. The resonant circuit is usually ...
