PICTURE_DRAWING_LIGHT_PEN

Published:2009/7/5 21:54:00 Author:May

Circuit improves ability to draw pictures on display screen with light pen by using short data lockout period to avoid smearing. Value of R1 depends on light pen; use 1 megohm for Texas lnstruments H-35. One-shot No. 1 produces constant-amplitude 200-ns pulse for storing 1 or 0 bit in 2102 memory of CRO graphics interface, One-shot No. 2 delays generation of another write command 0.25 s, giving operator time to withdraw or move pen before double dot is formed. R4 and C1 control length of writepulse, while R5 and C2 control wait time.-S. S.Loomis, Let There Be Light Pens, BYTE, Jan.1976, p 26-30.   (View)

D_A_converter_with_bipolar_output

Published:2009/7/23 21:58:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit shows a DAC/op-amp combination that is used to provide ±5-V, ±10-V, or ±2.5-V bipolar outputs, with positive full-scale occurring when all bits are on (all 1s). To calibrate, turn off all bits, adjust R1 for -5.000, -10.000 or -2.500 V, depending on the range. If a precision op amp, such as the OP-27, OP-7, or OP-37 is used, no separate trimming of the op amp is required or recommended.   (View)

_ADDRESS_STATE_ANALYZER

Published:2009/7/5 21:44:00 Author:May

Dynamic fluctuations of 16-bit memory address bus are dis played on CRO for troubleshooting. Two MC1408 8-bit DACs drive inputs of CRO with analog equivalents of eight high-order and eight low-order address lines. Display serves as visual picture of computer in action, in which accessing of unexpected memory locations is instantly visible. Incoming address lines can be connected to MC1408s in any order. Article covers evaluation of scope patterns.-S. Ciarcia, A Penny Pinching Address State Analyzer, BYTE, Feb. 1978, p 6, 8, 10, and 12.   (View)

DC_SERVO_DRIVE_EMPLOYS_BIPOLAR_CONTROL_INPUT

Published:2009/7/5 21:41:00 Author:May

This circuit accepts bipolar control inputs of ±5 V and provides a phase-chopped output to a dc load (such as a servo motor) of the same polarity as the input. The rms voltage of the output is closely proportional to the control input voltage. N-channel and p-channel TMOS devices, Q1 and Q2, are connected in anti-series to form a bidirectional switch through which current can flow in either the forward or reverse direction. Control circuits turn Q1 and Q2 on when they are reverse biased, bypassing their reverse rectif er and increasing circuit efflciency. Each device is allowed to turn off only when forward biased. The Q1-Q2 switch connects the ac power source to the load when its instantaneous voltage is the same polarity and less than the control voltage. U1a is conftgured as an ideal positive rectifter whose output follows the control voltage when it is positive, and is zero otherwise. Similarly, U1b is a negative rectifier. U1c tums Q1 on whenever the ac input voltage is lower than the positive rectifier output. For negative control voltages, Q1 is turned on only during the negative half-cycle. For positive control voltages, Q1 is tumed on during the end portions of the positive half-cycle. Similarly, U1d turns Q2 on whenever the ac input voltage is higher than the output of the negative rectifier.   (View)

VSUBPP_SUB_handshake_circuit

Published:2009/7/23 22:11:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit verifies that the VPP pulse generators (Figs. 6-49 and 6-50) are producing the correct output before pulsing begins. This is done by comparing the VPP output against the LT1004 reference. The LT1016 output goes low if the VPP output is correct. The resistor values shown allow for possible variations in VPP voltage because of component-tolerance stack-up. The output of the VPP generator should be set within 0.4% of nominal value when using this circuit. This can be done by trimming, or using 0.05% resistors in place of the 0.1% units specified.   (View)

PROGRAMMABLE_ATTENUATOR

Published:2009/7/5 21:35:00 Author:May

This circuit performs the function of dividing the input signal by a selected constant (1, 2, 4, 8, etc.).While T, Z, or L sections could be used in the input attenuator, this is not necessary since the amplifier loading is negligible and a constant input impedance is maintained. The circuit is thus much simpler and more accurate than the usual method of constructing a constant impedance ladder, and switching sections in and out with analog switches. Two identical circuits can be used to attenuate a balanced line.   (View)

DIGITALLY_PROGRAMMABLE_ATTENUATOR_

Published:2009/7/5 21:34:00 Author:May

The first stage is a simple buffer used to isolate the signal source from the attenuator stages to follow. Each of the subsequent stages is preceded by a voltage divider formed by two resistors and CMOS switch. Provided that the CMOS switch for each stage is closed, the drive signal will be attenuated according to the basic voltage divider relationship at each stage. In the event a switch is open, nearly all of the signal strength will be passed to the next stage through the 1-KΩ resistor. The amplifiers act as buffers for divider networks and reduce the interaction between stages. Eight levels of attenuation are possible with the circuit as illustrated, but more stages could be added. Each divider network must be closely matched to the resistor ratios shown or the level of attenuation will not match the levels in the logic chart.   (View)

INCREASING_THE_POWER_RATING_OF_ZENER_DIODES

Published:2009/7/5 21:27:00 Author:May

Circuit Notes A power transistor can be used to provide a high powered zener voltage from a low wattage zener. A 400 mW zener can be used where a 10 watt zener is required or a 1W zener cait be used where a 50 to 80 watt zener is required by using appropriate transistors for Q1 and Q2 in the circuits shown. Where low rating is required, Q1 would be an ASZ 15 (germanium) or an AY9140 (silicon). Q2 could be a 2N2955 (silicon). For higher powers, Q1 should be an ASZ18 (germanium) or a 2N2955 (silicon) and Q2 a 2N3055 (silicon) or an AY8149 (silicon). A heatsink on the transistor is required. The circuit in A has the advantage that power transistors can be bolted directly on to a chassis which may serve as a heatsink.   (View)
