VOLTAGE_WINDOW_COMPARATOR

Published:2009/7/12 20:51:00 Author:May

This window comparator determines if a voltage is between two limits, upper and lower.Using a digital voltmeter, set the reference voltages in this voltage window to the same values.Then vary one to set the width of the window; when the input voltage is within the window area, LED1 will light.   (View)

DUAL_VOLTAGE_COMPARATOR

Published:2009/7/12 20:50:00 Author:May

Use this dual comparator to monitor a battery while it's charging; the circuit will let you check for under- and overvoltage conditions.R3 and R4 set the trip levels at which the LEDs are activated. Almost any standard LEDs can be used. LED current is about 3 to 4 mA, as determined by the op-amp capability and resistors R1 and R2.   (View)

Voltage_controlled_resistor

Published:2009/7/17 3:05:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit uses one section of an XR-13600 (Fig. 11-1B) as a single-ended voltage-controlled resistor. A signal applied at RX generates an input to the XR-13600, which is then multiplied by the gm of the amplifier to produce an output current. The resulting resistor or RX = (R + RA)/(gm RA), where gm 19.2 IB at 25℃. Notice that the attenuation of VO by R and RA is necessary to maintain the input within the linear range of the XR-13600 input. EXAP corporation Dalabook 1990 p 5 25   (View)

TIME_COMPARATOR

Published:2009/7/12 20:35:00 Author:May

Digital circuit compares time that has been preset on one set of BCD input switches to multiplexed BCD output of basic 24-h industrial clock. When time of day corresponds to preset tifne, output circuit of comparator turns controlled device on for preset period of time. Second set of comparators can be used to tum device off when time of day equals preset time. Only hour and minute digits are compared, using Motorola MC145194-bit AND/OR select ICs, Q output of F1 can be used to control load power through output control circuit driving triac, with optoisolator providing required isolation from AC line. Supply is +5 V.-D. Aldridge and A. Mouton, Industrial Clock/Timer Featuring BackUp Power Supply Operation, Motorola, Phoenix, AZ, 1974, AN-718A,p6.   (View)

AMMETER_FOR_PRlNTEDCIRCUIT_WIRING

Published:2009/7/12 20:30:00 Author:May

Permits measurement of current in single conductor on board without cutting it. Article gives design of probe having four projecting wires that are pressed on conductor being measured, and describes operation of circuit in detail. Opamp can be 741, but higher-cost 725C will improve performance, When all four wires of probe make contact, voltage drop appears at input of differential amplifier. Outer wires of probe carry current of opposite polarity passing through ammeter; because there is negative feedback loop in conductor, opamp input voltage will return to zero when outgoing current is equal to that of unknown current passing through printed-circuit conductor.-F. An-drews, P.C.B. Ammeter, Wireless World, July 1976, p 34.   (View)
