OPTOISOLATOR_FOR_PROBE
Offsets need for potentially dangerous practice of floating oscilloscope with respect to ground. Also permits simultaneous display of two voltages with correct polarity on double-beam oscilloscope when one of them is floating. Texas Instruments TIL112 optocoupler used has bandwidth of about30 kHz, Three rangesgive choice of 1 :1, 10:1, and 100:1 input attenuation. Set RV2 to bias phototransistor of optocoupler to center of its linear range (about 4.5 V between pins 4 and 5), then set RV1 to give unity input/output ratio on range 1. RV3 is set to give zero DC output when input telminals are shorted, but can be omitted if zeroing of output level is unnecessary.-A. F. Sargent, Simple C.R.O.

REGULATED_CHARGE_PUMP

Published:2009/7/10 22:13:00 Author:May

REGULATED_CHARGE_PUMP
The dc-dc converter substitutes a voltage tripler in place of the external inductor and the diode that's typically associated with the switching regulator, IC1. Inverting and noninverting amplifiers in the MOS-FET-driver (IC2) activate a diode-capacitor tripling network (D1 through D3, C1 through C3).A 50-kHz oscillator residing within IC1 produces the EXT signal (pin 6). IC2 converts this signal into drive signals (180°out of phase) for the tripler. The resulting charge-discharge action in the capacitors recharges C3 toward 10 V every 20 μs. The ferrite bead limits output ripple to about 20-m Vpp for a 50-mA load. Conversion efficiency is about 70% for the 5-V input, 10-V output configuration.   (View)

SCANNING_ASCI_NECODER

Published:2009/7/10 22:10:00 Author:May

SCANNING_ASCI_NECODER
Converts key action into composite parallel ASCLL code. Circuit includes debouncing and two-key rollover. Two 4001 quad two-input NOR gate sections form 50-kHz clock that is gated. When clock is allowed to run, two cascaded 4520 binary counters are driven for continuous cycling through all their counts. Slower counter pro-duces 1-of-8 decoded output for 4051 1-of-8 switch. Faster counter drives second switch that monitors sequential rows of characters.When key is pressed, output from +5Vthrough both selectors stops gated oscillator and holds count. Resulting ASCll output is then routed to external output logic for control and shift operations. When key is released, scanning resumes and continues until new key is pressed.If second key is pressed before first is released, nothing happens until first key is released.Scanning then resumes and stops at second key location, to give two-key rollover permitting faster typing with minimum error.-D.

DUPLEX_AUDIO_LINK

Published:2009/7/10 22:05:00 Author:May

DUPLEX_AUDIO_LINK
Duplex communication is, of course, not a new technique: it has been used, for instance, in telephone systems for many years. Those systems, however, use transformers to achieve duplex-this circuit does it with the aid of electronics.The principle is fairly simple. Two senders impose signals (U1 and U2, respectively) on to the audio cable. The voltage across the cable is then (U1+ U2)/2. The receivers at both sides of the cable deduct their side's sender signal from the cable signal: the result is that the signal is sent from the other end of the cable. This principle is the basis of the circuit shown. Notice that a similar circuit is required at either end of the link.Op amp A1 is connected as a buffer amplifier and serves as sender. The send signal is imposed on the cable via R4. Terminating the cable by R4 results in the voltage across the cable being only half the voltage output of A1. This does not detract from the operation of the circuit, however. At the same time, R4 ensures that signals emanating from the other end of the link cannot get to the output of A1; if they could, they would be short-cii-cuited by the output.The receiver is a differential amplifier consisting of op amps A2 through A4. The quality of the differential amplifier depends largely on the resistors used with the op amps; 1% types are, therefore, essential.The cable signal, (U1+ U2)/2, is applied to one input of the differential amplifier and the (halved) output signal of A1 to the other. Because the differential amplifier has a gain of 6 dB, the received signal applied to K2 has the same level as the original signal.The circuit is calibrated by connecting the cable to it and to its twin circuit, then injecting a 1-kHz sinusoidal signal and a 5-Vrms level to its input. The input bus of the other circuit must be short-circuited during the calibration. Adjust P2 for minimum signal at K2. Next, increase the frequency of the input signal to 10 kHz and adjust C5 for a minimum signal at K2. Repeat the procedure with the other circuit. The signal suppression at 1 kHz is of the order of 80 dB; at 20 kHz, it is approximately 60 dB.   (View)
