RadioShack Cat.#: 900-6064 ($4.95)
A small 40 Khz ultrasound receiver. The bandwith of these piezo-transducers has a narrow peak around 40 khz. A group of students at UNN has measured it. |

CD4024 bit counter
|
"The CD4024BC is a 7-stage ripple-carry binary counter. Buffered outputs are
externally available from stages 1 through 7. The counter is reset to its
logical "0" stage by a logical "1" on the reset input. The counter is advanced
one count on the negative transition of each clock pulse."
A clock pulse for us one period of the amplified ultrasound signal.
Power dissipation: 700 mW

LM386 audio amplifier
|
"The LM386 is a power amplifier designed for use in low voltage consumer
applications. The gain is internally set to 20 to keep external part count low,
but the addition of an external resistor and capacitor between pins 1 and 8
will increase the gain to any value up to 200."

74HC393 dual bit counter
|
"The VHC393 is an advanced high speed CMOS 4-bit Binary Counter fabricated
with silicon gate CMOS technology. It achieves the high speed operation
similar to equivalent Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintaining the CMOS low
power dissipation. It contains two independent counter circuits in one package,
so that counting or frequency division of 8 binary bits can be achieved with
one IC. This device changes state on the negative going transition of the
CLOCK# pulse. The counter can be reset to "0" (Q0-Q3 = "L") by a HIGH at the CLEAR input regardless of other inputs."
This IC can be used as a low power alternative to the CD4024 (Bipolar TTL). Here pin 6 (QD) outputs the value (count / 16) % 2. The second bit counter on the IC is not used but should have its inputs grounded (pins 13 and 12). Power dissipation: 4 uA at 5.5 V, or 22 uW (microwatt)
A 1 k resistor should be inserted between the 9 V power and pin 14 to ensure
that only about 5 V, reaches the chip.
