Suggestions for these chips

Design Concepts

Here is a list of ICs I have just sitting around, Im no good at designing circuits, but I can build them and I have a basic understanding. So anyone have any ideas what I can build that might be fun music wise?  I actualy have tons more but I jsut grabe one sheet ot them.

2x NE555  (never have to many of these)

1x LM 566

1x LM10

1x MOC3010

1x LM3080

2x LM311

1x LM567  (gee wonder where this came from)

1x DM7476

1x sn74ls192

1x sn74ls147

2x 74ls173

1x 74ls273

2x DM74121

1x DM74LS13

1x LM741

Ok, I’ll try it.

Most of your ICs are Standard types good for all purposes (not only audio)

NE555  : Standard Timer IC -> you can make a oscillator out of it

LM 566 is a LM566C Voltage Controlled Oscillator. Datasheet: http://www.alldatasheet.net/datasheet-pdf/pdf/NSC/LM566.html

LM10 is a OPAMP. Datasheet: http://www.alldatasheet.net/datasheet-pdf/pdf/NSC/LM10.html

MOC3010 is a 6-Pin DIP Random-Phase Optoisolators Triac Driver Output. Datasheet: http://www.alldatasheet.net/datasheet-pdf/pdf/MOTOROLA/MOC3010.html

LM3080 is a Operational Transconductance Amplifier. Datasheet: http://www.alldatasheet.net/datasheet-pdf/pdf/NSC/LM3080.html

LM311 is a HIGH PERFORMANCE VOLTAGE COMPARATORS. Datasheet: http://www.alldatasheet.net/datasheet-pdf/pdf/ONSEMI/LM311.html

Yea I was able to find out what most of them are, I just dont know how to create circuits from scratch.

Incidentaly the datasheet for the one you didnt know is here:

http://www.ortodoxism.ro/datasheets/nationalsemiconductor/DS010166.PDF

I figure the 555, and VCO to be the most useful in an audio application.

I also have these laying around:

MC68HC705C8P

NE556

http://www.fairchildsemi.com/ds/LM%2FLM556.pdf

NE565

http://www2.norwich.edu/jbeneat/ee463/documents_lab/LM565.pdf

I use to tinker with broken electronics so this is all just ICs I pulled off boards hoping that one day I would know what to do with them.

Hi,

references:

http://www.uni-bonn.de/~uzs159/

555 based VCO and ADSR

566 based VCO

3080 based VCF

3080 based VCO

555 based ADSR

1x MOC3010

Need to switch mains from a logic level circuit? Using this driving a triac will do that for you.

2x LM311

A popular choice for intergrator with reset VCO’s.

Bye, Moebius

Thanks Moebius, I should be able to build a pretty simple monosynth from that.
