VARIABLE_HYSTERESlS_SCHMITT

Published:2009/7/2 4:18:00 Author:May

Uses standard 555 timer with only five additional components to give fully TTL/DTL-compatible Schmitt trigger that responds to slow input ramps as well as straight DC levels. When input is 0, output goes high and tums on Q1. When input increases to 5.8 V, output goes low and Q1, tums off. Decreasing output to 4.7 V (lower threshold point) makes output high again. For values shown, hysteresis is thus 1.1 V. Threshold points and hysteresis value can be adjusted as required by changing zeners used.-M. K.Lalitha and P. R. Chetty, Variable-Threshold Schmitt Trigger Uses 555 Timer, EDN Magazine, Sept. 20, 1976, p 112 and 114.   (View)

ELECTRONIC_CROSSOVER_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/2 4:18:00 Author:May

An audio source, such as a mixer, preamplifier, equalizer, or recorder, is fed to the Electronic Crossover Circuit's input. That signal is either ac- or dc-coupled, depending on the setting of switch 51, to the non-inverting input of buffer-amplifter U1a, one section of a quad, BIFET, low-noise TL074 op amp made by Texas Instruments. That stage has a gain of 2, and its output is distributed to both a lowpass filter made by R4, R5, C2, C3, and op-amp Uld, and a highpass filter made by R6, R7, C4, C5, and op amp Ulc. Those are 12 dB/octave Butterworth-type filters. The Butterworth filter response was chosen because it gives the best compromise between damping and phase shift. Values of capacitors and resistors will vary with the selected crossover at which your unit will operate. The filter's outputs are fed to a balancing network made by R8, R9, R10, R11 and balance potentiometer R14. When the potentiometer is at its mid-position, there is unity gain for the passbands of both the high and low filters. Dc power for the Electronic Crossover Circuit is regulated by R12, R13, D1, and D2, and decoupled by C6 and C7.   (View)

LOW_PASS_DIGITAL_FILTER

Published:2009/7/2 4:15:00 Author:May

Used to retrieve pulse train data from noisy signal line. Filtering is achieved with SN7400 quad two-input NAND gate, SN7413 dual four-input Schmitt trigger, two diodes, and two capacitors. One gate of SN7400 is used as inverter driving pulse delay operating on negative-going transition of input pignal. Other Schmitt trigger, diode, and capacitor provide delay on positive-going transition. Any additional pulses occurring during delaycirouit time-out resets delay time without affecting output.-T. H. Haydon. Low-Pass Digital Filter. EDN Magazine. Nov. 20. 1973. p 85.   (View)

SLIDING_TONE_DOORBELL

Published:2009/7/2 4:14:00 Author:May

When the doorbell is pushed, you'll hear a low tone that will slide up to a higher frequency. The frequency of the AF oscillator is determined by coupling capacitor, C1 and the value of the resistance connected between the base of Q1 and ground. That resistance, RBG is equal to (R1 + R2) R3. First, assume that 51 is closed and R2 has been adjusted td produce a pleasant, low-frequency tone. Capacitor C3 will charge through R6 until it reaches such a voltage that it will cause diode D1 to conduct. When that happens, the value of RBG is paralleled by R4, Thus, because the total resistance RBG decrease, the output tone slides up in frequency. Capacitor C3 will continue to charge until the voltage across D2 and D3 causes those diodes to conduct. Then RBG is paralleled also by R5, the total resistance again decreases, and the oscillator's frequency again increases.   (View)

LOU_COST_CHIME_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/2 4:11:00 Author:May

Resistor R1, capacitor C1, and two inverters form a square wave generator, which produces the basic tone. The generator is followed by an inverter that acts as both a buffer and a driver for the speaker. Resistor R2, which has a minimum value of 100 ohms, limits the current and controls the volume. Diode D1, ca-pacitor C2, resistors R3 and R4, and two inverters create the pulse generator that determines the turn-on and decay times of the chime. The decay circuit-formed by D2, C3, R5, and Q-reduces the amplitude of the chime tone exponentially as a function of time.   (View)

500_kHz_SWITCHING_INVERTER_FOR_12_V_SYSTEMS

Published:2009/7/2 3:48:00 Author:May

Circuit Notes This PWM control circuit provides the control pulse to the DMOS Power Switch in the flyback circuit. The output of the PWM is a pulse whose width is proportional to the input control voltage and whose repetition rate is determined by an external clock signal. To provide the control input to the PWM and to prevent the output voltage from soaring or sagging as the load changes the error amplifier and reference voltage complete the design. They act as the feedback loop in this control circuit much like that of a servo control system.   (View)

MULTIPLE_FEEDBACK_BANDPASS_FILTER

Published:2009/7/2 3:22:00 Author:May

The op amp is connected in the inverting mode. Resistor R3 from the output to the inverting input sets the gain and current through the frequency-determining capacitor, C1. Capacitor C2 provides feedback from the output to the junction of R1 and R2.C1 and C2 are always equal in value. Resistor R2 may be made adjustable in order to adjust the center frequency which is determined from:When designing a filter of this type it is best to select a value for C1 and C2, keeping them equal. Typical audio filters have capacitor values from 0.01,μF to 0.1,μF which will result in reasonable values for the resistors.   (View)
