Automatic_reset

Published:2009/7/24 12:16:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit shows a DS1233 EconoReset chip that is used to monitor the power supply of a processor-based system and to provide automatic reset. The DS1233 contains a precision temperature-compensated reference and comparator circuit that is used to monitor the power-supply (VCC) status. When an out-of-tolerance condition is detected, RST becomes active, and shuts off the processor. When VCC returns to an in-tolerance condition, RST is kept in the active state for about 350 ms to allow the power supply and processor to stabilize. The DS1233 also debounces a pushbutton closure (when used), and generates a 350-ms reset pulse upon release. Notice that when an external pushbutton is used, a capacitor between 100 pF and 0.01μF must be connected between RST and ground. Where additional reset current is required, a minimum capacitance of 500 pF should be used, along with a parallel external pull-up 1-kΩ resistor (minimum).

Low_power_micromonitor_with_pushbutton_and_watchdog_timer

Published:2009/7/24 12:13:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit is similar to that of Fig. 6-50, but with the addition of a watchdog-timer function to monitor software execution. The timer function forces RST and RST signals to the active state (shutting down the processor) when the ST input is not stimulated for a predetermined time period (because of some failure in software execution). The time period is set by the TD input to be about 150 ms with TD connected to ground, 600 ms with TD left unconnected, and 1.2 s with TD connected to VCC . The timer starts timing out from the set-time period as soon as reset signals are inactive. The ST input can be taken from address, data and/or control signals. When the processor is executing software, these signals are present, which causes the watchdog to be reset prior to time-out. Dallas Semiconductors, Product Data Book, 1992/1993, p. 10-54.   (View)

Low_power_micromonitor_with_pushbutton

Published:2009/7/24 12:09:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit shows a DS1232LP/LPS used to monitor and control the power supply and software execution of a processor-based system, and to provide a pushbutton reset. When VCC falls below a preset level (as defined by the TOL pin connection) the DS1232 outputs RST and RST reset signals. With TOL connected to ground, reset becomes active as VCC falls below 4.75 V. When TOL is connected to VCC, reset becomes active as VCC falls below 4.5 V. On power-up, RST and RST are kept active for a minimum of 250 ms to allow the power supply and processor to stabilize. The pushbutton reset input PBRST requires an active low. Internally, this input is debounced and timed so that reset signals of at least 250 ms (minimum) are generated. The 250-ms delay starts as the pushbutton reset input is released from low level. Dallas Semiconductors, Product Data Book, 1992/1993, p. 10-54.   (View)

Digital_power_monitor

Published:2009/7/24 12:03:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit shows a DS1231 power monitor chip that is used to control a digital-system power supply. The DS1231 uses a temperature-compensated reference circuit to provide both an orderly shutdown and automatic restart of processor-based systems. The DS1231 operates by monitoring the high-voltage inputs to the power-supply regulators (at a voltage sense point), and applying RST or RST and NMI (nonmaskable interrupt) control signals to the processor. The time for processor shutdown is directly proportional to the available hold-up time of the power supply. Just before the hold-up time is exhausted, the DS1231 unconditionally halts the processor (to prevent spurious cycles) by enabling reset when VCC falls below a selectable 5 or 10% threshold. Notice that the TOL pin is grounded for a 5% threshold. When power returns, the processor is held inactive until well after power conditions have stabilized, safeguarding any nonvolatile memory in the system from inadvertent data changes.

This circuit shows a DS1229 that is connected as a triple RS-232 transmitter/receiver. The DS1229 has two internal charge pumps that are used to generate ±10 V, and six level translators. Three of the translators are RS-232 that convert TTL/CMOS inputs into +9-V RS-232 outputs. The other three translators are RS-232 receivers that convert RS-232 inputs to 5-V TTL/CMOS outputs.

Digital_auxiliary_boost_supply_kickstarter

Published:2009/7/24 11:56:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit shows a DS1227 kickstarter chip connected to provide an auxiliary boost supply for digital systems. The DS1227 supplies 5 V on demand from either a 3- or 6-V battery input. The primary 5-V outputs, typically tied to a microcontroller VCC pin, is kickstarted on in response to any one of several possible momentary, external signal transitions. Examples of such signals include a clock/calendar alarm from a watchdog timer (Fig. 6-51), or an incoming asynchronous serial-data word from a host PC via a line-powered transceiver (Fig. 6-60), or a simple pushbutton switch. Figure 6-45B shows some typical kickstarter interconnections. Dallas Semiconductors, Product Data Book, 1992/1993, p. 10-17, 10-21.   (View)

Serial_DRAM_nonvolatizer

Published:2009/7/24 11:51:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit shows a DS1262 Serial DRAM nonvolatizer chip that is used to enable read/write access of DRAM from a simple 3-wire serial port. Refresh and RAS/CAS timing for the DRAM are performed automatically, transparent to operation of the serial port. In addition, the DS1262 performs all power switching and refresh duties that are necessary to retain DRAM data when the primary power supply fails. The backup supply input accepts a wide voltage range, suitable for use with rechargeable batteries. The DS1262 also provides an electronic gas gauge that can predict the condition of the backup supply. When the VCC1 power begins to drop, an internal circuit senses the changes, and the data-retention mode begins. The VCC1 input is then disconnected from the VCC0 output and the backup supply connected to the BKUP pin is switched in. The DS1262 also monitors the backup supply condition. If the backup supply is below VCC1, the backup-condition output pinBC is driven active low, and remains in this state until the backup supply voltage is restored to a level above VCC1.

DIVIDING_ANALOG_VOLTAGES

Published:2009/6/30 21:19:00 Author:May

Charge-and-dump V/F conversion technique is used to obtain quotient of two analog voltages digitally. Applications include measurement of total mass flow of gas under constant pressure. With Q1 and Q2 normally off, C1 charges at rate proportional to input E1, producing negative ramp at output of integrating opamp A1. When R2 wiper voltage exceeds E2, output of A2 goes high, tuming on Q3 and temporarily driving Q1 and Q2 into conduction. This process discharges C1, resetting output of A1 to zero. With values shown, E1 and E2 equal, and wiper of R2 at midpoint, circuit output is 10,000 pulses per hour, suitable for driving electromechanical counter. Output frequency is proportional to average DC value of E1 even when input changes rapidly.—H. L.

ULTRASONIC_PEST_REPELLER_1

Published:2009/6/30 21:05:00 Author:May

The device emits ultrasonic sound waves that sweep between 65,000 and 25,000 hertz. Designed around a 556 dual timer, one half operated as an astable )nultivibrator with an adjustable frequency of 1 to 3 Hz. The second half is also operated as an astable multivibrator but with a fixed free running frequency around 45,000 Hz.

The device that radiates the ultrasonic sound is a piezo tweeter.   (View)

The LED predriver output pulses an ex-temal transistor which in turn, switches on the infrared light emitting diode at a very low duty cycle. The desired IR LED pulse period is determined by the value of the external timing resistor. The Smoke Sensitivity is adjustable through a trimmer resistor which varies the IR LED pulse width. The light sensing element is a silicon photovoltaic cell which is held at near zero bias to minimize leakage currents. The circuit can detect signals as low as 1 mV and generate an alarm. The IR LED pulse repetition rate increases when smoke is detected.   (View)
