Preamp
We decided to try the IC
in conjunction with the dual low noise preamplifier IC also from
National Semiconductor
the
LM382. The combination results in
a simple stereo amplifier which
works very well indeed.
Whilst tone control could be
achieved very simply it was decided
that the performance of the amplifier deserved good treatment. So we
use more effective tone controls.
The result is a five -watt stereo
amplifier, ETI444, simple and
inexpensive to build, and with a
surprisingly high performance.
CONSTRUCTION
--I1oW it work
THE OUTPUT OF a magnetic cartridge is
normally of the order of 5mV at 1kHz.
However, in the recording process the high
frequencies are recorded at a higher amplitude than the low frequencies (in order to
reduce noise). The curve of amplitude versus -frequency that is used is known as
the RIAA curve. When the record is replayed the reverse characteristic of gain versus -frequency must be applied to restore
a flat frequency response. This process in

The

If it has been blackened by painting it
may smell a little at first but this will
soon pass away. For normal domestic
listening this size heatsink will be found
to be entirely adequate but if the amplifier

illness.
The theory puts special importance
on the crossover days, the days between
the positive and the negative halves of
the cycle. On these days the condition
of the body is undergoing its fastest
rate of change and the likelihood of
an accident or sudden worsening of
an illness is higher than at any other
time of the month. Days 1 and 12 of
the physical cycle are critical days.
The two other cycles concern the
condition of one's mental performance
and this is looked at from two viewpoints
activity in the subconscious
regions of the brain and activity in the
fully -conscious regions.
The theory holds that there is a

Biorhythm calculation
To find a person's biorhythms on a given
day you first enter that date and subtract the date of birth of the person
in question (as if you were calculating
their age in days). However, instead of
pressing the equals button after entering
the second date, you press the BIO
button. The biorhythm computer now
replies by displaying -PP.SS.I I-, where
PP gives the status of the physical
rhythm, SS the status of the sensitivity
rhythm, and II the status of the intellect rhythm. These numbers correspond
to the day of the cycle for each rhythm,
they do not show amplitude. To interpret the numbers there is a graph above
the display and a chart on the back of
the calculator.
The product of 23, 28, and 33 is
21252 which means that there are this
many possible permutations of the three
rhythms, and these permutations follow
the same sequence for all people.

REACTION TESTEI
Measuring the speed of your reactions can be fascinating. Our
project not only allows you to do this to a considerable degree of
accuracy, but allows for competition between two players.
THE MOST NOTICEABLE EFFECT
of a night on the ale, apart from the
revolving universe, is the immediate
slowing up of a person's reaction time.
The project to be described here will
give an indication of that time,
measured to 1/100ths of a second.
There are three possible versions of
the project; which one you build
depending on the usage or abusage you
intend to subject the unit to. The
CMOS version is much more expensive
initially, but draws under half as much
current from the batteries, and will
thus even up its cost over a period.
The 'standard' version if you like, is
the TTL circuit of Fig.1, which can be
run from a battery pack as a
portable unit.
20
CONSTRUCTION
Building up the 'standard' version is
best done by constructing the display
and counter sections first. Check the
former by applying a high level to pins
7, 1, 2, 6, in turn of ICs 3 and 4.
The numbers 1, 2, 4 and 8 will
appear on the display if all is well.
Remove the 'decimal point' pin on
the displays, this will vary from type to
type, ours were DL707s. This aids
location on the P.C.B. The lead from
the hand-held unit to the main unit
must be screened - four -core individual
screen recording lead is ideal - otherwise stray capacitance can 'clock' the
7490 without the switch being operated. Earth one end to pin 2 of the DIN
socket on the unit, and the switch end
to the output earth side.

PAGING BY

K.J Young
PAGING SYSTEMS in factories,
hotels and other large buildings can
minimise loss of time involved in
searching for people and can offer
1111
larger models are about 4'/ein by
21in by 1'/ein. Many miniature
alphanumeric displays are now
available, the seven -segment type
operation at 5V now tending to
supersede the earlier 180V type
with a separate cathode for each
outline. The 5 -volt design eases
power supply problems, as the
same supply can be shared by the
associated TTL logic; on the other
hand for -long wiring runs, voltage
drop has to be allowed for. There is
evidence that decoder -drivers for 5V
are more reliable than for 180V.
Low-voltage L.E.D. displays have
some advantage over the earlier 5V
filament type. Several types are also
obtainable in clusters of several
digits and various strobing and
sequential -drive arrangements can
reduce the logic and interconnections needed per digit, as compared
with systems using a group of
separate digits. Electromagnetic
WIRING
When we consider a scheme for
master digital display and several
slave displays distributed through a
building, an important factor is the
cost of the wiring.' Cost of cable
rises with the number of cores used
and current carried, also insulation

depends chiefly on the length and

AND
DISPLAYS
It is necessary to decide how
large and bright the slave displays
of number or letter codes need to be'
at each position; they need not
necessarily all be of the same type,
provided they are compatible with
the system in use, and smaller
displays, such as miniature I.e.d.
indicators, can be used in small
rooms. If desired the visual display
can at certain locations be supplemented by an audio tone which
draws attention to it. There now
exist a wide choice of digital display
devices. Illuminated digits about
lin by lin are given by a small lens
system and lamp, the outlines being
advanced by the application of a
current pulse to a moving coil;

wiring.
Broadly
speaking there is a
choice between sending a rapid
pulse -train to count from zero to the
number required when the master
controls are set, or alternatively
arranging for the slaves merely to
copy the central indication, without
going through all the intermediate
numbers. The former method fits in
more readily with the use of only
two
wires,

TONES
A system based on the transmission of audio tones simultaneously
over a single pair of wires may
commend itself owing to the low
wiring cost, assuming that independent power supplies are available at the master and at each slave.
Such a scheme might use, for
two digits, two binary -output
thumbwheel switches marked 0-9
at the master. Each position would
connect or disconnect one or more
of four audio oscillators, requiring a
total of 8 audio oscillators at the
master for two denary digits in the
display. The tones would be picked
up at each slave by eight tone
filter/detectors, for which modules
are now available, the outputs then
being decoded to control a two -digit
display by numicators or other
devices. Alternatively the decoding
could be omitted and each tone
filter/detector could turn on a
thyristor controlling a coloured
mains lamp. If desired the lamps
could also be numbered 1-8. In this
way (28-1) or 255 different codes
wold be available, compared with
only 99 by the BCD method. Such a
method is perhaps less readily.

Inspection of underwater structures is
a job that has to be done by divers
it's not really on to train an engineer
to dive to do an inspection. How,
then, can the engineer get enough
information to enable him to assess
what repairs or modifications may be
necessary? The answer lies in the use
of underwater TV cameras by divers.
Recently, Marine Unit Technology
Ltd. have cooperated with BP to
produce the MUT/BP Stage II camera.
This camera may be either diver -held

-fioW it works
This circuit may be considered as a multi vibrator, when the button is pressed, and as
a flip flop when the button is released. If
initially we consider the circuit with R2,
R5, Cl and C2 deleted we have a standard
flip flop. If Ql is on, it robs current from
the base of Q2, thus turning it off.
Transistor Ql will be held on by the current
through R6 and R4. However, if Q2 is on,
the reverse is the case. Thus only one of the
transistors can be on at any time - never
both.
The addition of R2, R5 and Cl, C2, will
not alter the above, providing the push
button is not pressed. However if the button
is pressed the current through R2 and R5
will try to turn on both transistors.
Take the case where initially Ql is on
and Q2 is off. The voltage on the collector
of Q1 will be about 0.5 volts and the voltage
on Q2 collector, about seven volts. We
therefore have about 6.4 volts across C2 (as
the base of Ql is at about 0.6 volts). When
the button is pressed Q2 will turn on and its
collector will drop to 0.5 volts.
However a capacitor cannot instantly
change its voltage and the base of Ql will

PART 11
PROGRAMMING
We talked last month of the logical,
structured method of programming,
making use of subroutines. For a
program, which has to do calculation, the standard method of doing
arithmetic is to use subroutines for
the arithmetic operators. Note that
an 8 bit microprocessor can only, of
itself, represent a number between
0 and 255, or, in BCD, using the 8
bit byte as 2 BCD digits it can
represent a number between 0 and
99. This is not really much use for
most applications.
Consequently, numbers are
represented using two or more
consecutive locations in memory.
With two locations, in binary we can
get up to 65 535, or in BCD, up to
9999. This, of course, only takes
account of positive numbers
if
negative numbers are required,
these can be represented in binary
using BCD.
The reason that BCD is used is
that it is easier to encode into
ASCII
one simply splits each.
byte into two, and adds the BCD
digit to 01 10000, or Hex 30; this
then gives the correct ASCII code to
be output to a Teletype. For binary,
the process is obviously more
complex, as the binary number has
to be decoded to decimal before

ADDITION SUBROUTINE
The important thing to know
not
how the CPU does this, but to know
that it can be done. Let's look at
one, almost trivial example of how
this instruction can be used. For the
purpose of simplicity, we shall
assume that we want to add
together two 4 -digit numbers which
are each stored in the form of two
consecutive bytes of BCD, starting,
say, at locations 50 and 52
respectively. Lets also assume that
we want to place the result into the
following locations in memory.
The first operation we perform is
to load the two least significant
digits of the first number into ACCA
is
11
FORGOTTEN SOMETHING?
This leaves a gap between location
53 (the 2nd byte of the 2nd
number) and the beginning of our.
result so far. The reason is that we
have, as yet, taken no account of
any carry which may have been
generated from the last addition.
Accordingly, we insert a Branch on
Carry Set instruction, so that if there
is a carry, we branch to a routine
which loads the Accumulator with
01 and stores this in location 54, to
complete the calculation. Finally,
we finish off with a Return from
instruction. The
completed program, together with a
memory map showing the use of
memory, is shown in Fig. 1.
This program is deliberately
simplified, in that we have only
represented 4 digit numbers, and
only integer ones at that. This is a
simple representation of fixed
point numbers, i.e. the decimal
point is always assumed to be in the
same position. One obvious
improvement to the above subroutine would be to use indexed
addressing, which would enable a
more compact subroutine to be
written for much longer numbers.
Similar subroutines may be written
for subtraction, multiplication, and
division.
However, a more useful technique for representation of numbers
is the floating-point technique,
where a number is put in the form of
a mantissa and exponent, as in the
case of many scientific calculators.
Floating point arithmetic packages
are considerably more difficult to
write, and they mainly find their
application in interpreters and
compilers for high-level languages,
so that they are brought as part of
an interpreter program. You may
like to think about the problems
involved in writing some floating
such as: how does
point routines
the routine know where to find the
number it will add? What happens
when you try to add a very large
number to a very small number (try
this on a scientific calculator)?

AVAILABLE INTERPRETERS
Most of the hobby activity today is
in the States, and it is there that most
interpreters are available, and of
course, most of these have been
written to suit the Altair/ Imsai and
South West Technical computers.
In most cases, BASIC interpreters
are available in various sizes (to suit
various amounts of memory) and
offer widely ranging facilities, such
as string handling and double -precision variables on the Extended

intended to be used with the

Electronics can supply further
information, although it may be
worth waiting for VTL/2, which
believe is in the pipeline.
Computer Workshop of 174
Ifield Road, SW 10, have now got 3
different versions of a BASIC
interpreter suitable for their 6800
based system, which offer a wide
range of facilities. Typically, these
are available in the form of both
paper tape or CUTS standard

using the MIKBUG/PIA-TTY interface combination. Incidentally, we
hope to have a review of their

HIGH-LEVEL LANGUAGES
High-level languages are what make
the writing of large scientific and
commercial problems feasible. For
the amateur, they can take out a lot
of the drudgery of program writing,
and possibly more important, they
allow the transfer of programs from
one computer to another. For
example, many games programs are
available written in BASIC, and
these can be run on any computer
having a BASIC interpreter or
compiler providing there are no
The new MP -68 computer from Computer Workshop of 174 Ifield Road,

The same I/O system is
employed as on the TMS 9900,
offering the user capability to do
DMA, memory mapped I/O, or a
serial I/O port (the Communications
Register Unit, or CRU). Six interrupts including a nonmaskable
interrupt and reset will be available.
The oscillator and clock generator of the 9980 will be contained

targeted to be extremely cost
effective in systems requiring
smaller memory size and less /0,
particularly where board space and
chip count may be critical. The TMS
9980 will compete head-on in the
medium performance range with
currently available 8 -bit MPUs such
as 8080 or 6800. The 9980 gives

samples are scheduled for 1977.
The TMS 9904 is the 4 -phase

Now available from Bywood Electronics is SCRUMPI, a complete
microcomputer/controller on
board
based
the
National
Semiconductor SC/MP MPU.
SCRUMPI uses 8 toggle switches
for data input and 24 LEDs for
address/data and status display.
This means that all you have to add
to get a complete working MPU is a
power supply and a program (demo
programs are included).
Programming and testing of a
program with SCRUMPI is simplicity itself
by using the RESET
switch the MPU addresses location
X'0001' which is the program start
location; the first instruction is then
entered at this address and executed. After execution of the instruction, the MPU will halt at the next

The pin 3 output terminal of the IC is normally low,
but switches high during the active monostable
sequence. The output can either source or sink currents
up to a maximum of 200mA, so external loads can be
connected between pin 3 and either the positive supply
rail or the ground rail, depending on the type of load
operation that is required. The output switching rise
and fall times are typically about 100 nanoseconds.
Having cleared up these points, let's now go on and
look at some practical applications of the 555 timer I.C.

MISCELLANEOUS APPLICATIONS
To complete the 555 story, this final section shows a
miscellany of 555 applications, of varying degrees of
usefulness. Fig 29 shows how a single 555 can be used
as the basis of an event -failure alarm or a missing -pulse
detector, which closes a relay or illuminates an LED if a
normally recurrent event fails to take place.

The 'timebase' circuit gives superb signal synchronisation at trigger frequencies up to about 1 50kHz. If
the timebase is to be used with input signal frequencies
greater than this, the input signals should be divided
down via a single- or multi -decade digital divider. Using
this technique, the timebase can be used to view input
signals up to many MHz.
Fig 32 shows how a 555 can be connected for use
as a simple but effective Schmitt trigger or
Sine/Square converter. The circuit acts as a good
converter at input frequencies up to 1 50kHz or more. It
works by changing its output state each time the pin 2
input signal swings from above the 2/3 Vcc level to

All resistors generate 'noise' in
the form of tiny voltage fluctuations
which originate in the resistive element.
Further noise is generated in the lead

sources. One form of noise that is
present in a// resistors is called 'Johnson

computers are
now extremely sophisticated in design
and the manufacturing methods very
specialised.
It is, however, quite
important that the operation of

understood by
craftsmen at a general
systems level. This, and the next part,
will introduce the philosophies, the
hardware and the operation of digital
computers from a technical rather
than user-only viewpoint. (Analogue
computers were briefly mentioned in

producing pay -slips.
Digital computers may also calculate

WHAT IS A COMPUTER?
Regardless of whether a computer is
digital or analogue in operation its role
is
to perform various kinds of
mathematical operations. The
analogue machine cannot perform
logic operations: (unless joined with
a digital computer, in which case it is
known as a hybrid computer
as
shown in Fig. 1) its use is generally
restricted to what are called linear
mathematical problems in which

simple
mechanical
in
much later
1694. Because
mechanism manufacture at that time
was crude indeed
all parts were
individually hand-crafted
the
Leibniz machine was not reliable even
though the concepts involved were
sound. Improvements in mechanical
manufacture had to occur before a
routinely useful gear and crank
calculator could be built (by de
Colmar in 1820). Thus, through these
and many other gradual improvements
to method and manufacture, the scene
was set for grander ideas.
A major advance was made by
Babbage. Charles Babbage was born in
Devon, England. In 1792, he became a

circuits but with multi -level weighted summing and detection circuitry
internally. As an example of the
savings possible the 8X04 FIFO
memory uses such gates to determine whether the memory was 1/4,
1/2, 3/4 or completely full. If ordinary
TTL or even l2L had been used at
least 4000 transistor devices would
have been required; with this new
technique the transistor count was
cut drastically
to four!
Put a few design engineers into a
lab with the concepts of bi-MOS,
multi -level logic and a few thousand
dollars and we could have some
very nice toys to play with in 977
or 1978!

The sensing element used was a thermistor, attached to the outlet which is
warm when the pilot light is on. A
rod -type thermistor was used for
cheapness, with a resistance of about
3k @ 200C, but a bead type would
work as well and with a faster response
time.
Two gates of the 7400 provide a
Schmitt trigger with a low hysteresis
(determined by the 18k feedback
resistor) and the third gate inverts that
output. When the pilot light is on, the

PHOTOCOPIES
Due to the steady pressure on our
back numbers department, and the
dwindling number of issues available, we have decided to set up a
photocopies service. This involves
our staff in considerable time
consuming endeavour, so we hope
our readers understand the need
for our decision to apply a flat
charge of 50p inclusive. This
covers any article, regardless of
the number of pages involved,
from any ONE issue of ETI.
