AUTORANGING

Published:2009/6/30 1:24:00 Author:May

Digitally controlled attenuator uses DG201 quad analog switch as input ladder attenuator switches for A/D converter. Switches are controlled by digital logic that detects overrange and underrange information from A/D converter and closes appropriate attenuator path. Circuit is suitable for Siliconix LD110/111 or LD111/114 A/D converter，— Analog Switches and Their Applications, Siliconix、Santa Clara、CA、1976, p 6-28.   (View)

AUTOMATIC_SHUTOFF_1

Published:2009/6/29 22:41:00 Author:May

Charger automatically turns itself off when 12-V auto storage battery is fully charged. Setting of 1.5K pot determines battery voltage at which zener D1 conducts,turning on Q2 and pulling in relaythat disconnects charoer. If battery voltage drops below threshold, relay automatically connects charger again. S2 is dosed to bypass automatic control when charger itself is to be used as power supply.-G. Hinkle, The Smart Charger, 73 Magazine, Holiday issue 1976, p 110-111.   (View)

Choose rectifying diodes and triacs or SCRs to handle maximum charging current desired. For initial adjustment, connect fully charged battery and adjust charge-stop pot until ammeter iust drops to zero.-Circuits, 73 Magazine, July 1977, p 34.   (View)

Circuit of Heathkit GP-21 automatic charger is self-controlling (Q1 and Q2) and provides protection against shorted or reversed battery leads (Q3 and Q4). Zener D8 is not standard value, so may be obtainable only in Heathkits. D1, D2, and D7 should all be on one heatsink.-H.

CAPACITOR_SERVES_AS_IGNITION_BATTERY

Published:2009/6/28 23:17:00 Author:May

Developed for use with capacitor-discharge ignition systems to provide independent voltage sourcefor ignition when starting car in very cold weather. Before attempting to start car, S1 is set to ON position for energizing DC-to-DC converter for charging C1 with DC voltage between 200 and 400 V. Starter is now engaged. If voltage of storage battery drops as starter slowly turns engine over, C1 still represents equivalent of fully charged 12-V storage battery that is ca pable of driving ignition system for almost a minute.-W. Stalzer, Capacitor Provides Artificial Battery for Ignition Systems, EDN Mage-zine, Nov. 15, 1972, p 48.   (View)

AUTO_TRAILER_INTERFACE_FOR_LIGHTS

Published:2009/6/28 23:13:00 Author:May

Low-cost transistors and two relays combine brake-light and tum-indicator signals on common bus to ensure that trailer lights respond to both commands. C1 and C2 charge to peak amplitude of tum signal, which flashes about 2 times per second. Values are selected to hold relay closed between flash intervals; if capacitance is too large, brake signal cannot immediately activate trailer lights after tum signal is canceled. Developed for new cars in which sep-arate turn and brake signals are required for safety.-M. E. Gilmore and C. W. Snipes, Dar-lington-Switched Relays Link Car and Trailer Signal Lights, Electronics, Aug. 18, 1971, p 116.   (View)

OIL_LEVEL_GAGE

Published:2009/6/28 22:55:00 Author:May

Permits checking crankcase oil Ievel from driver's seat. Sensor consists of light-conducting Plexiglas rod attached to dipstick, with lamp L1 at top of rod and phototransistor Q1 mounted at add-oil mark on dipstick, about 1/2 inch below bottom of rod. At normal oil level, oil attenuates light between a, and bottom end of rod, making phototransistor resistance high. Pushing test switch makes C1 charge and saturate Q2 long enough to activate UJT AF oscillator Q3 and give short tone verifying that lamp is not bumed out and gage is working. When oil is Iow, enough Iight reaches Q1 to keep O2 saturated after C1 charges, giving continuous tone as long as switch is pushed.-L.

RF_MAGNETOMETER

Published:2009/6/28 22:50:00 Author:May

Measu res RF radiation and current distribution for antennas, transmission lines, ground leads, building wiring, and shields. Can also be used as sensitive portable field-strength meter. Will indicate orientation of field. High-Q circuit is tunable from 1.8 to 150 MHz for indicating frequency of fields produced by RF harmonic, Applications inplude detecting reradiation from rain gutters, metal fencing, towers, and guy wires that are distorting antenna field pattems, and detecting radiation from ground leads, appliance power cords, and hidden building wiring. When used as probe, will accurately pinpoint leakage of RF energy from joints, holes, or slots in shielded enclosures. Operation is similar to absorption-type wavemeter, except that pickup coil is electrostatically shielded by slotted aluminum IF trans-former can to eliminate capacitive coupling. Inductor is wound on ferrite coil to give very high a as pickup element.-W. M. Scherer, An R. F.Magnetometer and Field Strength Meter, CQ, April 1971, p 16-20.   (View)
