Part 1:Construction
560
Components for this project are available from Watford Electronics (who supply the'
metal case, type WE1), Technomatic, Bywood or Catronics.
INTERFACE TO TV
The TV set used in the prototype is a
Heathkit GR -9900 set built from a
kit. If you decide to use this kit set
which is one of the most attractive
portable sets that have seen then it
will be necessary to break the circuit
in the set by removing the positive
end of C18 from the PCB. On the
prototype two video sockets were
added at the rear of the set, one
connected to the point where C18
was on the PCB (TV video out), and
the other connected to the now
floating end of C18 (Video in), both
sockets using chassis ground. A
short link of coax with a plug at each
end will connect the two sockets for
normal TV programs or the output
from the 560 VDU can be connected to the Video in socket.
It may be possible to modify any
other portable set in a similar
manner but check that there is a
transformer in the mains input
circuit. Domestic TV sets may be
modified to accept a video signal
but check with manufacturer first.
The alternative is to use a UHF
modulator as supplied by Crofton
Electronics but this must be correctly set up or else all of the
verticals in each character will have
a stepped or wobbly look. If a
modulator is used then the 560
VDU can be used with any TV set,
colour or B/W. NB: These modulators can transmit back down an
aerial line even if the normal aerial
line is disconnected and if the
modulator output line is too near the
aerial line then any other set

BOARD `B'
The block diagram of board 'B' is
shown in Fig 3. Its function is to
generate TV sync signals and
character video information and
then to mix these two signals with a
blanking signal to produce a
standard video signal for input to a
modified TV set.
The sync generator is formed by
two 555 timers in a stable mode
both with a mark/space ratio of
about 10:1. IC1 runs at 50Hz and
IC2 at 15KHz. The outputs from
these ICs consist of short negative
pulse from each which are mixed in
IC5 to give a mixed sync signal. We
will refer to these signals as FS
(Frame Sync), LS (Line Sync) and
MSYN. IC3 and IC4 are 555 timers
in the monostable mode. IC3 uses
FS as a trigger input and produces
an output called FSD (Frame Sync
Delay) which is basically FS inverted
but with the length of the short
pulse adjustable by VR3. The width
of this pulse is used to define the
distance from the top of the screen
at which the output will start and
the signal is used to blank the video
and to reset line and row counters.
IC4 produces a similar signal (LSD)
which defines the distance from the
left-hand side of the screen and is
used to blank the video and also
resets the Master Clock (MCLK) and
character counters.
The Master Clock (MCLK) is
generated using two gates of IC5
which will oscillate at about 6MHz
whenever LSD is low. As LSD
always goes low at the same "time"
on each TV line MCLK always starts
at the same position on each TV
line; this is very important to avoid
ragged edges or verticals on the
characters.

IC15 is a 7421 4 -input AND gate
(note not a 7420 NAND) which
mixes the blanking signals RCLK,
FBLK, LBLKI, and BLNK. RCLK
occurs on the last two of every ten
TV lines after FSD, this thus blanks
at the bottom of each character row.
FBLK and LBLKI are from the
flip-flops IC13-14, the FBLK signal
is set by FSD and reset by EOF
which is generated when the text
row counter exceeds the number of
rows (8 at present). LBLKI is formed
in a similar manner. To test board

BOARD 'C'
A block diagram of board "C" is
shown as Fig 6; assembly is almost
as simple as it looks.
Start by inserting ICs 1 7-19 and
connecting CCLK, RCLK, FSD and
LSD from board "B" and EOF and
EOL back to board "B". The results
on the screen should now be that
we have finished defining our
display box of 32 characters wide
by 8 rows high with flip-flops
IC13-14 now working correctly by
blanking any video generated outside our box.
ADDRESS COMPARATOR
Any positive true logic address
input from switches or other logic
input to IC20-21 will be inverted by
these ICs if ENABLE is connected to
logic "1"; if ENABLE is at logic "0"
then this will cause all 8 outputs to
go high thus almost effectively
disabling the address inputs. The
Enable signal is not used in the
basic unit and should be connected
to a permanent logic "1" or via a
1K resistor to Vss. If we consider
output "C" from IC19 and the
inverted H input address line we can
Ipok at the expected output from the
7486 to which they are connected.
A 7486 is an EXCLUSIVE NOR gate
and the logic of EX -OR is a logic
"1" if either but not both inputs are
at logic "1", the output "1" is

NOTES
obvious that the transistor impedances vary with power level. Thus
the amplifier shoule be tuned up at
the power level at which it is
intended to be used. There is
sufficient range in the tuning
capacitors to accommodate a range
of input power levels.
The 2N6084 is encased in the
MT-72 stripline package, having
two emitter leads. The collector lead
see the
has one corner removed
illustration of the package in Fig 2.
The collector lead is also marked by
'a dot on the header as can be seen
in Fig 1 & 6. The threaded stud is
electrically isolated from the transistor Leads. This sort of package
construction reduces lead inductance and allows the stud to be
bolted directly in contact with a
heatsink for maximum heat transfer.
The 2N6084 is manufactured by
both Motorola and Solid State
Scientific (SSS).

HEATSINK REQUIREMENTS
A heatsink is required to dissipate at least 45 watts of heat with a
low temperature rise. As operation
is of an intermittent nature, with
relatively long intervals between on
periods, heatsinks requirements can
be relaxed somewhat. A 150 mm
length of 100 mm wide heatsink
having fins on one side only (fins
about 25 mm deep) as can be seen
in Fig 1, was found to be quite
adequate. A diecast box having
dimensions somewhat larger than
the pc board could be used but its
heatsinking properties would be
barely adequate and amplifier on
times would have to be kept short.
A proper heatsink is recommended.
The heatsink illustrated was
obtained un -anodised. A black
anodised heatsink would certainly
do a better job. However, it is good
practice to sand off the anodising
in the immediate vicinity of the
transistor stud, where it contacts the
heatsinks.
CONSTRUCTION
The amplifier is constructed on a
single -sided printed circuit board,
120 mm long by 58 mm wide, the
board layout being given in Fig. 5.
The component layout is illustrated
in Fig. 6, and one can get a good
idea of the component layout also
from Fig. 4. Note that all the
components are mounted on the
copper side of the board, contrary to
pc board.
If you have facilities for making
your own pc board, construction
21
the American
on the
2N6084. Then drill clearance holes
in the heatsink for the mounting
bolts and the feedthrough capacitor.
Once the pc board and heatsink
have been drilled and the hole
positions checked to see that'
everything fits correctly without
strain, the pc board may be wired.
Commence by mounting the
mica compression trimmers, C4,
C5, C6, C7. Refer to the layout .in
Fig. 6. The trimmer capacitors are
constructed with large lugs, formed
of the capacitor plates, that project
more or less straight down from the
ceramic body of the component.
Carefully bend the end of each lug
out at right angles before soldering
the capacitor in place. Use a hot
soldering iron with a large tip and
solder rapidly, making sure that the
solder is adequately melted to
ensure proper wetting of the joint. It
is advantageous to lightly tin the

TUNE UP
Tune up is q.uite simple. You will
need a dummy load of adequate
rating and either an in -line power
meter of reasonable accuracy or
some power output indicating
device. A power supply that can
deliver up to six amps at 14 volts
is necessary. An
ammeter that can read up to at least
six amps would be handy also.

After carefully

the
PERFORMANCE
At a supply voltage of close to 13
volts and a drive level of between 7
to 8 watts, a power output of 42
watts was obtained from the
'prototype. This is a gain of around 7
dB. The manufacturers of the
2N6084 specify a minimum gain of
4.5 dB at 175MHz. However, one
could expect a somewhat higher
minimum gain at 146 MHz. An
efficiency in excess of 55% is
readily obtainable.

With the advent of precision -moulded optical systems the way to
practical opto -electronic devices has really opened up.

of the component body, as illustrated in.
Figure 2. This indicates that the
outermost foil is connected to the lead
at that end of the body. This is useful in
bypassing applications or where the
'hot' terminal may be sensitive to the
surrounding environment. This lead is
connected to the circuit common, or
the 'low' portion of the circuit and
shields the 'hot' electrode of the
capacitor, reducing stray coupling to or
from the external circuit.
Remember that the capacitors are
non -polar so that the black line does not
indicate polarity or the negative
terminal.
Mica Capacitors: The most common
method of marking moulded mica
capacitors is by an arrangement of
coloured dots. The widely used British
and American systems are illustrated in
figs 3 and 4. The value and tolerance
may be found by referring to Table I.
The other characteristics may be
.obtained from Table 2.
Three, four, five and alternative
six -dot codes have been employed from
time to time. These are illustrated in Fig
5. The capacitor's value and other
characteristics can be obtained from
Table I. The alternative six -dot code is
for high -tolerance, high stability
capacitors.

Build yourself
a personal
computer
System 68 is a powerful microcomputer which will operate without an
expensive teletype or VDU. You can
write, debug and run programs simply,
using the system keyboard and display, and the ETI 560 VDU can be
added to enhance the system I/O
capability. Based on the Motorola
M6800 microprocessor, System 68 is
modular and can be adapted and
expanded to suit your requirements
and peripherals. Play computer games,
solve scientific problems, control your
central heating, write computer music
here's a whole new world of
electronics.
Electronics in Printing
Electronics in general,
and the computer in particular, is playing an
ever -greater part in the
production
of
newspapers and magazines. The newsman's
world is fast becoming a
world of colour VDUs,
optical character recognition, microprocessing
typesetters and other

operated.
The spec only should whet your
appetite but the constructional design
is also superb
so much so that we
expect our DMM to become one of the
`standard' circuits for the amateur
constructor.
POCKET 1-2
HOUR TIMER
Many appliations suggest themselves for this but the obvious one
is to avoid being caught out with
an expensive parking ticket. It's
truly pocket -sized and operates
from a PP3 battery.

TRIAC TRIGGERING
To investigate the possibilities of
using CMOS to drive triacs it would
be helpful to state the triggering
requirements of these devices.
Triacs may be triggered into conduction on both positive and negative mains half cycles, with either
polarity of gate current. They are,
however, more sensitive (i.e. require
less gate current) to negative gate
current. Triac triggering requirements are, in fact, normally specified
for gate current polarities which are
in phase with the main terminal
voltage, i.e. main terminal voltage
positive with positive gate current
and main terminal voltage negative
with negative gate current. These
and the gate sensitivity for the case
of main terminal voltage positive
with a negative gate current are
equal. Triacs are generally much less
sensitive to positive gate current on
negative mains half cycles (i.e. main
terminal voltage negative) and need
to be selected for applications which
require this mode of triggering. The
gate current may be d.c. or a pulse
since the triac will remain on once it
has been triggered, until the end of
the mains half cycle.

UNIT
WITH

THE DISCO UNIT .to be described
here reaches professional standards
at a very moderate price, only about
plus
whatever decks, cartridges, etc, you
should choose to add. It is designed
for the home constructor, and gives
many of the features found on
professional equipment.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
It was decided to work as closely
as possible to the following basic
design parameters: the disco must
be robust and simple to operate
giving the deejay as much freedom
as possible, whilst at the same time
retaining full control. It should
reach generally accepted high
fidelity standards and be capable of
stereophonic reproduction, to take
advantage of the excellence and

VOICE-OVER
In order to allow the deejay his
freedom it was considered that an
automatic voice operated fader was
essential. The deejay does not have.
to be continually adjusting the
microphone level, and provided that
a uni -directional microphone is used
he will only have to set up the.
microphone level at the beginning
of the evening. The mic will only
pick up sounds made within a few
inches of it, and when the deejay
speaks the volume of music from
any other source will be automatically reduced to an adjustable
preset level. As soon as the
announcement is completed the
music level is automatically restored
to its previous level.
The microphone should be a
uni -directional (cardioid) type in
order to minimise acoustic feedback, it should be hard-wearing,
resistant to damage and distortion
when shouted at, whilst capable of
faithfully reproducing soft sounds.
After careful consideration it was
decided that the microphone which
best met these conditions (at a
reasonable price) was the electret
microphone. The input on the disco
was specifically designed with this
type of microphone in mind therefore.
A complete kit of parts for this project is available from Maplin Electronic Supplies
(see their ad. on the back cover).

DECISIONS DECISIONS
A decision had to be made over
whether to design the disc inputs
for magnetic or ceramic cartridges.

and limitations of both types it was

Light work
Most professional discothques
employ a light show and it was
decided to include a light show,
with this unit. A three channel
circuit is used, each driving one
100W bulb in the rear of the
console. The unit itself is capable of
driving over .2kW (or 750W with
spot bulbs) on each channel, but in
this event it must be fed from a
separate mains supply. It is not
recommended that it be used to
drive more than 250W per channel
(including the 100W bulbs in the
disco) if its mains is fed through the
recommended plug and socket on
the disco front panel, since this load
added to the requirements of the
amplifiers approaches the maximum current carrying capability of
the plug and socket.
It is designed so that one channel
lights when the music contains very
low frequency signals, that is the
light flashes in unison with the bass
drum or bass guitar, one channel
operates in the voice range and
flashes in unison with the singer
whilst the third channel flashes with
the high frequencies
violins, etc.
Sensitivity controls are provided on
the front panel so that the on and off.
time of the lights can be adjusted.
Three LED's are provided on the
front panel and they flash in unison;
with the lamps so that the deejay
can see immediately whether the,

TAPE MEASURES
The deejay may wish to use a
jingle machine and/or tape recordings of hard -to -get discs so the disco
is equipped with tape and auxilliary
inputs. These are full stereo inputs
(i.e. a mono signal applied to any
one input will not reduce the stereo
separation of the signal on any other
input). Each has its own level
control and feeds into an input
mixer where the various inputs are
combined.
Slider controls are used on the
disco mainly for the reason that they
can be adjusted accurately without
looking at them. With rotary
controls the deejay has to be
continually looking down, and
quickly loses the audience's attention.

adjustment.
Work light
When the music slows down and
the lights get low, light will be
needed so that the operator can still
see what he's doing. Two lights on
goosenecks are provided which can
be swung round as required. They
have adjustable hoods so that a

When used in conjunction with the
phase locked loop, this provides an
extremely precise and stable frequency
tuning section. The great advantage of
such a combined system is that the
tuner receive frequency is extremely
accurate (without the need for
automatic frequency control) and
nearly equal to the precision provided
by the quartz crystal oscillator used in
the original transmitting station.
Frequency stability claimed for the

CONSTRUCTION
The nicest thing about the construction of this project is that first you.
have to eat half a pound of jam, in
order to get the empty glass jar for the.
lamp housing. Other, jars about 70mm
dia. and 70mm high with a twist off
cap would do. You'll need also a
round tobacco tin about 75-80mm
dia. and 30mm high with a twist off
cap. These two parts make up the case.
First solder the lids of the jar and
the tin together, concentrically
outside to outside. Then before fitting
the batten lamp holder fit the lamp to
it and check that it will fit inside the
jar when the jar is screwed into its lid.
If it will, then mount the lamp holder
by three bolts through both lids. Two
of these bolts should be longer than
the third as they will carry a piece of
Veroboard. If the jar is slightly too
short to accept the lamp holder and.
lamp
as was the case in the proto-
type
then cut a hole for the lamp
holder through both lids, and fit the
lamp holder so that its flange finishes
up inside the tabacco tin. Spacing
washers may be added
if
necessary.

HOW 1T WORKS
The circuit is an oscillator of a not very
common type. It is not a multivibrator
as both transistors conduct at the same
time rather than alternately as in a
multivibrator. Most 'explanations' of this
type of circuit state that the circuit
oscillates by a regenerative action from
02 to 01. This doesn't really explain
h Mr':itworlts, SD perhaps the following is
a little clearer.The setting of the pot RV1 is such that
when power is first applied Qt is turned
on slightly, By varying RV1 the circuit
can be made 20 'lock' with the lamp on
or off. in_ between these extremes the
Circuit oscillates. The setting of RV1 is
not critical.
As said above. when power is applied
01 turns on slightly. Current through 01
feeds into the base of 02 and turns it on.
Capacitor C charges through 81, R3 and
02. This increases the current through
R1 and so lowers the voltage at the base
of 01 thus turning it on harder
hard
enough to turn 02 full on and light the
lamp.
As C charges, the voltage at the base of
01 rises and so tends to turn 01 off,
thus reducing the base current in 02 and
hence the current through the lamp. This
increases the voltage across 02 quite
rapidly. As the voltage across the
capacitor cannot be changed rapidly, the
increase of voltage acres 02, i.e. the
voltage change at the collector of 02, is
transferred through the capacitor to the
base of Q1
so turning it off. This turns
02 hard off. The voltage at the collector
of 02 then rises rapidly to 12 volts, so
the ioltage at the base of 01 is forced up
through capacitor C, turning 01 hard

TESTING
Before connecting up make sure that
otherwise the

off.
Capacitor C then discharges round 'R1,
the lamp, and R3 until, when fully
discharged. 01 turns on slightly and the
cycle is repeated.
The switch SW 1 (connected across 01
is used to disable 01 and so give a steady

are using to get your program into the
micro's memory, you will soon find
it tedious loading programs by hand.
You now have a choice of leaving your
program permanently in memory with
the power on (like the HP25C), or
outputting it onto punched paper tape
or magnetic tape or even onto a magnetic card (like the HP67). Which is
where cassette tape comes in. Almost
everyone has a cassette tape recorder
these days, and you can put it to
better use than recording Top of the
Pops by using it to record, and later,
reload the programs you have written
on your micro. This is done by the

Whilst we have used Motorola's M6800
microprocessor as an example thus far
in order to make the series consistent
(and it may also have something to do
with the fact that we're using 6800 in
our own System 68!) we feel that it
would be rather unfair not to wander
off at some point and see what else is
about in the microcosm(?).
Firstly, there's the company who
really started it all, Intel. They produce

it's nasties like every other MPU,
e.g. the address and data busses are
common, and the address has to be
latched externally.
RCA are offering their CDP 1802
device which is a CMOS 8 bit micro.
Despite RCA's attempts at the mating
game, Synertek have been a bit coy,
leaving Hughes holding the baby as
sole second -source. Quite a nice
device, this though a bit weak on decimal arithmetic, but nice from the
point of view of power supply and
clock requirements.
The PPS -8 from Rockwell has special
I/O chips for just about every kind of
peripheral. The power supply is a bit
odd, being a single -17V, and the
stack pointer is only 5 bits allowing
for only 32 values on the stack.But
without having used it, it's impossible
to say what its good and bad points
are.
MICRO DATA
Getting hold of manufacturer's data
sheets on MPUs isn't very easy for the
home constructor who only wants to
buy 1 micro, but fortunately many
readers of this column will already
Save the data sheets on 6800. The
trouble is that MPUs are complex
devices and the data sheets are only
the beginning of the story. If you want
to 'read' further you have two options;
you can play about with System 68
(next months ETI), or if you are in a
hurry, buy the 3%/41b 'M6800 Appli60

MORE ALTAIR IN UK
Altair's UK agents have released
further details of their 680b microcomputer kit. This machine is based
on the M6800 and comes complete
with 1k of RAM, 1k of ROM (256
bytes pre-programmed with a monitor
and loader), as well as an ACIA for
teletype or VDU interface. The 680b
with turnkey front panel (i.e. without
the switches and lamps often found
on more conventional minicomputers)
is priced at 290.
Also availalable is
a 16k memory card, priced at 496.
Free with this card is a copy of Altair's
new BASIC compiler for the 680b.
In addition, the system will run an
assembler and text editor for 6800
Assembly Language.
Altairs other microcomputer system
is the 8800, which is based on the
Intel 8080. A very wide range of
software is available for this system,
including business and scientific programs, as well as games programs and
even routines to play music. Also
available is a wide range of peripherals,
including a floppy disc memory

HP ADVANCE
Since many Microfile Readers are
interested in, or own, programmable

latest developments in this field from
Hewlett Packard. HP have released 3
new machines, the HP25C, the HP67,
and the HP97. The 25C is simply
an HP25 which retains both program
and data stored in it, even while
switched off, thus saving the repeated
entry of often -used programs. The
HP67, however, represents a considerable advance on the HP65, in that it
has around 3 times the program
storage and 3 times the data storage.
In addition, it has 20 user definable

DESIGN FEATURES
An RF attenuator should have a
useable frequency range of dc to
200 MHz. It is also necessary for the
attenuator to be adequately shielded
so that signals may only enter or leave
via the coaxial connectors. For this
latter reason a diecast box has been
used to house the attenuator.

'/4 to 1/2 watt carbon
types are the most suitable. If higher
power handling is required one or two
watt carbon types may be used but
with these accuracy will start to fall
off at around 100 MHz.
The switches should also have low
inductance and capacitance but
specially designed switches are
prohibitively expensive. Many
Japanese slide switches were evaluated
and initially gave good results.
However the ingress of dust and dirt
was found to cause faulty operation
after a time.

BLANKING
In normal writing practice we do not
write the '0's that appear at either end
of a number, for example, 0001357.0
as could be held in an eight digit
display, is better presented as 1357 or
1357.0. A facility is sometimes
provided in display -counter systems
that blanks unnecessary zeros. Leading
zero suppression is performed within
the decoder stages of Fairchild
seven -segment decoders by connection
of the ripple blank output HBO (ripple
because each stage connects to the
next) of the decoder stage to the
ripple blank input RBI of the next
lower decoder stage. Blanking of
least -significant zeros is not usually
included. The actual arrangement for
blanking control varies from maker to
maker. Fig. 1 shows a method using
ripple blanking.
The blanking facility can also serve
other purposes. It can, in certain
applications, be used to blank -out
illegal display values resulting from
incorrect codes. The RBO output also
provides a detection output indicating
when the decoder stage is at the BCD
zero state.
