'''CGS97''' the '''CGS Serge noise''' module can be built in several ways. In it's simplest form, it contains three basic outputs, White noise, Pink noise, and a random voltage suitable for use with Sample and Hold modules. An optional Sample and Hold circuit is included on the PCB. Alternatively, the basic version may be coupled with the CGS92 [[CGS Serge smooth and stepped generator|Serge Smooth and Stepped Generator]] to make the Random Voltage Generator module.

== A little on how it works ==
[[File:cgs_schem_cgs97v1cgs schem cgs97v1.0_noise0 noise.gif|thumb|frameless|714px|center|The schematic for the noise source. The upper part of the diagram shows the noise source, while the lower part shows the optional Sample and Hold. T1 at the upper left is a transistor selected for its noise characteristics. Below it is an NPN transistor shown in the orientation in which it could be used to substitute for the PNP. As only the base-emitter is used, either type of transistor will work in the circuit.]]

Note that the orientation for the transistors on the overlay is for vintage 2N4250 and 2N3565. The pinout of modern PNXXXX devices is usually the reverse of what was used with the 2NXXXX devices. In this case, BC557B and BC547 variant can be used as direct replacements for the vintage transistors, or PNXXXX devices can be used, but installed in reverse with respect to the transistor outlines shown on the PCB. Whatever your choice, the tiny transistor schematic symbol within the "D" is correct and can be followed.

== Notes ==
* 330R refers to 330 ohms. 100n = 0.1 uF.
* PCB 6" x 1" with 3mm3 mm mounting holes 0.15" in from the edges.
* The module will work on +/-12 volts.
