PUSHBUTTON_TO_DIAL_CONVERTER

Published:2009/7/14 8:38:00 Author:May

Combination of Motorola MC14419 keypad-to-binary converter and MC14408 BCD-to-dial telephone pulse convener is used with 10-switch push-button array to provide correct chain of pulses for dialing number on conventional dial-telephone system. Eleventh SPDT button is used for redial feature; if line called is busy, one press of redial button dials number over again. Number is stored for repeated use until new number is dialed. Check local telephone company regulations before making connections to telephone lines.-I. Math, A Push-Button to Dial Tele-phone Converter, CQ, Sept. 1976, p 36-37.   (View)

120_VAC_SINGLE_HETEROSTRUCTURE_LASER_DRIVER_SUPPLY

Published:2009/7/14 11:38:00 Author:May

This figure shows the complete schematic of the 120-Vac SH power supply. The circuit consists of a polarized plug, a voltage doubler, a large-value storage capacitor, two neon indicator lamps to show that ac and dc power is present, a 1-MΩ firing-rate control, and the business end of the supply to drive the laser. I2 is also a safety light. When it is on, the laser should be considered operating. The current to the voltage doubler is limited by resistors R1 to R3, and by the capacitive reactance of capacitors C1 and C2. R7-a 47-kΩ, 1/2-W resistor-limits the input power to the avalanche circuit to avoid overheating the diode or Q1. The capacitors and resistors serve to isolate the circuit from the ac line sufficiently to prevent a shock hazard; however, you can still get shocked. Be sure you put this device in a nonconductive case, and obey the polarity of the polarized plug. Don't touch any part of the circuit while it's plugged in, either. Be sure you use a plastic potentiometer for VR1, or a separate control-type potentiometer with a plastic knob.   (View)

D_BISTABLE

Published:2009/7/14 11:27:00 Author:May

The interesting point of this circuit is that a D-type bistable is used as an inverter. When the level at the input changes from high to low, the bistable is reset and its Q output goes high. When the input becomes low, the reset is removed and the Q output goes low. The delay introduced by network R1-C1 between the RESET input and the CLOCK input makes it possible to trigger the bistable at the leading edge of the input signal. As an example, in the case of a dual D-bistable Type 74HCT74, the time needed for a clock pulse to be accepted after the reset has been removed is 5 ns. Therefore, an RC introducing a delay of 7.5 ns gives a reasonable safety margin. The reduced edge gradient of the clock pulse does not create any problems because the maximum allowed rise time of the clock input is 500 ns. To obviate asymmetrical output signals, it is advisable to limit the input frequency to about 1 MHz with component values as specified.   (View)

REGULATED_LOW_NOISE_VOLTAGE_INVERTER

Published:2009/7/14 11:25:00 Author:May

Analog cell phones rely on a quiet GaAsFET bias supply to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio, providing a high-quality transmission. The LTC 1551CS8-4. 1 switched-capacitor voltage inverter circuit shown reduces output noise to less than 1 mV on the -4.1-V regulated output voltage. The 900-kHz operating frequency allows the charge pump to use small 0.l-μF capacitors. The 10-μF and 0.1-μF output capacitors effectively reduce the 900-kHz ripple noise to relatively insignificant levels. The LTZ1550CS8-4.1 has an active low shutdown input (SHDN), whereas its counterpart, the LTC1551CS8-4.1, has an active high shutdown input. This choice minimizes component count.The LTC1550 and 1551CS8-4.1 both operate in doubler mode, meaning that they only invert the input voltage and regulate it down to -4.1 V. The input voltage range is 4.5 to 7 V.   (View)

CORDLESS_HEADPHONES

Published:2009/7/14 11:21:00 Author:May

It is possible to use headphones with no direct connection to the audio source. This figure illustrates a simple transmitter circuit suitable for connecting to an audio source. Diodes D1 to D3 are three infrared LEDs in series, driven by TR2, an n-channel MOSFET with a drain-current rating of 500 mA maximum. The illumination of the LEDs is modulated by the audio signal applied, with TR1 current-limiting and shunting the bias of TR2 to ground when TR2 source current exceeds roughly 100 mA. Potentiometer VR1 should be adjusted for best results. A 9-V power supply is best used in this circuit because of the sustained level of current consumption. The transmitter range is about 1 to 2 m, but this can be extended by using reflectors behind the diodes.A suggested receiver circuit, using an infrared photodiode, D4, to detect the IR light, is shown in (b). The received signal is ac-coupled to TR3, another MOSFET. The output is taken from the drain terminal via capacitor C5. Bias can be adjusted with potentiometer VR2, and this circuit will run from a PP3-size battery. The circuit could be adapted for other applications.   (View)
