PROGRAMMABLE_VOLTAGE_CONTROLLED_FREQUENCY_SYNTHESIZER

Published:2009/7/1 2:32:00 Author:May

The μA2240 consists of four basic circuit elements: (1) a time-base oscillator, (2) an eight-bit countqr, (3) a control flip-flop, and (4) a voltage regulator. The basic frequency of the time-base oscillator (TBO) is set by the external time constant determined by the values of R1 and C1 (R1C1 = 2 kHz). The open-collector output of the TBO is connected to the regulator output via a 20 k ohm pull-up resistor, and drives the input to the eight-bit counter. At power-up, a positive trigger pulse is detected across C2 which starts the TB0 and sets all counter outputs to a low state. Once the μA2240 is initially triggered, any further trigger inputs are ignored until it is reset. In this astable operation, the μA2240 will free-run from the time it is triggered until it receives an external reset signal. Up to 255 discrete frequencies can be synthesized by connecting different counter outputs.   (View)

BROADBAND_FREQUENCY_DOUBLER

Published:2009/7/1 2:29:00 Author:May

Circuit Notes This circuit will double lowlevel signals with low distortion. The value of C should be chosen for low reactance at the operating frequency. Signal level at the carrier input must be less than 25 mV peak to maintain operation in the linear region of the switching differential amplifier. Levels to 50 mV peak may be used with some distortion of the output waveform. If a larger input signal is available, a resistive divider may be used at the carrier input with full signal applied to the signal input.   (View)

High_resolution_continuous_output_sampled_bridge

Published:2009/7/24 5:28:00 Author:Jessie

Figure 4-18 shows a sampled bridge with continuous output and high resolution.Figure 4-19 shows the waveforms. Traces A, B, C, and D show the A1A output, Q3 emitter, complementary output to A2 loop, and the 74C221 delayed pulse to Q5.The circuit applies 100 V across a 10-V, 350-0 strain-gauge bridge for short periods of time. The high pulsed-voltage drive increases bridge output proportionally, without forcing excessive dissipation. The average bridge power is far below the normal 29 mA obtained with the usual 10-Vdc excitation. Combining the 10× higher bridge gain (300 mV full-scale versus the normal 30 mV) with a chopper-stabilized amplifier in the sample-hold output stage is the key to the high resolution. To calibrate, simply adjust the 50-kΩ zero control for zero output with the bridge at mechanical zero. Although the output is continuous, information is collected at a 1-Hz rate, and the Nyquist limit applies when interpreting results. LINEAR TECHNOLOGY, APPLICATION NOTE 43, P. 23.   (View)

Continuous_output_sampled_bridge

Published:2009/7/24 5:23:00 Author:Jessie

Figure 4-16 shows a bridge signal conditioner with sampled continuous output.Figure 4-17 shows the waveforms. Traces A, B, C, and D show the Q2 collector, LT1021-5 output, A1 output, and S1 input, respectively. The output is made continuous by the addition of a sample-hold stage. Q2 is off when the sample command is low. Under these conditions, only A2 and S1 receive power, resulting in a current drain of less than 60 μA. When the sample command is pulsed high, the Q2 collector (trace A, Fig. 4-17) goes high, providing power to all other circuit elements. During the sampling phase, supply current approaches 20 mA, but a 10-Hz sampling rate cuts effective drain below 250 μA. Slower sampling rates will further reduce drain, but the C1 droop rate (about 1 mV/100 ms) sets the accuracy constant. The 10-Hz rate provides adequate bandwidth for most transducers. For 3-mV/V-slope-factor transducers, the gain trim shown (1 M) allows proper calibration. It might be necessary to rescale the gain trim for other transducer types. The A2 output is accurate enough for 12-bit systems. Although the output is continuous, information is collected at a 10-Hz rate, and the Nyquist limit applies when interpreting the results.

The UJT-oscillator frequency is determined by the 100μF capacitor and the effective resistance of the 22 K and 470 K resistors and the potentiometer. Rate can be varied from 42 to 208 beats/minute. The circuit should be housed in an insulated box for safety, or use ground (3-wire cord).   (View)

CIRCUIT_FOR_MULTIPLYING_PULSE_WIDTHS

Published:2009/7/1 2:27:00 Author:May

A circuit for multiplying the width of incoming pulses by a factor greater or less than unity is simple to build and has the feature that the multiplying factor can be selected by adjusting one potentiometer only. The multiplying factor is determined by setting the potentiometer P in the feedback of a 741 amplifier. The input pulses e1 of widthT and repetition period T is used to trigger a sawtooth generator at its rising edges to produce the waveform e2 having a peak value of (E) volt. This peak value is then sampled by the input pulses to generate the pulse train e3 having an average value of e4(=E ET/T) which is proportional to Tand independent on T. The dc voltage e4 is amplified by a factor k and compared with sawtooth waveform e4 giving output pulses of duration k T. The circuit is capable of operating over the frequency range 10 kHz - 100 kHz.   (View)

METAL_LOCATOR

Published:2009/7/1 2:24:00 Author:May

The search coil, C1 and C2 form a tuned circuit for the oscillator which is tuned near the center of the broadcast band. Tune a portable radio to a station near the middle of the band, then tune C2 until a squeal is heard as the two signals mix to produce a beat (heterodyne) note. Metal near the search coil will detune the circuit slightly, changing the pitch of the squeal. The search coil is 20 turns of number 30 enameled wire, wound on a 6 x 8 wood or plastic form. It is affixed at the end of a 30 to 40 wooden or plastic pole, and connected to the remainder of the metal detector circuit through a coaxial cable.   (View)

METAL_LOCATOR_Ⅱ

Published:2009/7/1 2:23:00 Author:May

The circuit consists of two oscillators, both working at about 465 kHz. One uses an if transformer and the other uses an inductor (the search coil L1). The oscillators are coupled by a capacitor (10 pF). A beat note (produced if the two oscillators are working closely together) is detected by the diode and fed to the headphone amplifier and the 22μF capacitor. The search coil oscillator is tuned by a 10-365 pf variable capacitor.The search coil comprises 22 turns of wire (any gauge between 24 swg and 36 swg enamel) center tapped. The wire should be wound on a temporary form then taped and glued to a piece of hardboard. The coil size should be about 6 x 6 . Headphones should be high impedance.   (View)
