100_kHz_CRYSTAL_CALIBRATOR

Published:2009/6/25 Author:May

Circuit Notes This circuit is often used by amateur radio operations, shortwave listeners, and other operators of shortwave receivers to calibrate the dial pointer. The oscillator operates at a fundamental frequency of 100 kHz, and the harmonics are used to locate points on the shortwave dial, provided that the output of the calibrator is coupled to the antenna circuit of the receiver. The crystal shunts the feedback voltage divider, and is in series with a variable capacitor (C3) that is used to set the actual operating frequency of the calibrator.   (View)

MULTIPURPOSE_MODULE

Published:2009/6/24 23:41:00 Author:May

Flexible circuit using FET to drive bipolar transistor has -3 dB points at 100 Hz and 0.6 MHz. Components are noncritical and can be changed considerably in value to optimize gain, frequency response, power output, or power consumption. Load presented to FET is primarily input resistance of bipolar transistor, about 1000 ohms, which gives voltage gain of 4 for FET.-I.

PHOTO_STROBE_SLAVE_TRIGGER

Published:2009/6/24 23:14:00 Author:May

The photo strobe slave trigger circuit uses a solar cell and an SCR to flash any strobe when you trigger your master strobe. The tiny solar cell produces a vet'y small voltage when light falls on its surface.   (View)

PHOTO_STROBE

Published:2009/6/24 23:00:00 Author:May

Sound or light sensors connected to J2 produce a voltage that is amplified by IC1-a and IC1-b. A positive trigger voltage that is developed by D1 and D3 and amplified by IC1-d, drives IC2 and IC1 to trigger SCR1. SCR1 is connected to a strobe. This device is handy for photographic purposes to take pictures of events that involve sound, such as impacts, etc.   (View)

TOUCH_TRIGGERED_BISTABLE

Published:2009/6/24 22:59:00 Author:May

This circuit uses a 555 timer in the bista-ble mode. Touching T2 causes the output to go high; D2 conducts and Dl extinguishes. Touching T1 causes the output to go low; Dl conducts and D2 is cut off. The output from pin 3 can also be used to operate other circuits (e.g., a triac controlled lamp). In this case, the LEDs are useful for finding the touch terminals in the dark. C1 is not absolutely necessary but helps to prevent triggering from spurious pulses.   (View)

OPTICAL_SCHMITT_TRIGGER

Published:2009/6/24 22:44:00 Author:May

This circuit shows a 555 with its trigger and threshold inputs connected together used to energize a relay when the light level on a photoconductive cell falls below a preset value. Circuit can be used in other applications where a high input impedance and low output impedance are required with the minimum component count.   (View)

PHASE_SHIFTER_WITH_EIGHT_OUTPUTS

Published:2009/6/24 22:39:00 Author:May

The circuit consists of eight cascaded identical cells, each cell being a dc-controlled active phase shifter. Because the dc control is common for all shifters, the circuit is adjusted by trimming RA so that the phase difference between V01 and Vi is zero. As a result, each shifter will introduce a phase difference of exactly π/r. The eight signals for PSK are available at the op amps' outputs. Phase accuracy is acceptable for 1%-tolerance resistors and 5%-tolerance 100-nF capacitors. Also, the amplitude of Vi (which is a 1700-Hz sine wave), should not exceed 1 V.   (View)

UNDERVOLTAGE_INDICATOR_FORBATTERY_OPERATED_EQUIPMENT

Published:2009/6/24 22:30:00 Author:May

Due to the low duty cycle of flashing LED, the average current drain is 1 mA or less. The NE555 will trigger the LED on when the moni-tored voltage falls to 12 volts. The ratio of R1 to R2 only needs to be changed if it is desired to change the voltage point at which the LED is triggered.   (View)

ULTRASONIC_PEST_REPELLER

Published:2009/6/24 22:28:00 Author:May

This circuit uses two transistors and one IC (555 timer IC) to produce a pulsating ultrasonic frequency. Transistors Q1 and Q2 are connected in a direct-coupled oscillator. The frequency of that oscillator is set by capacitor C1. The oscillator output is taken from the emitter of Q2 to pin 7 of IC1. Transistor Q1 is an npn transistor, and Q2 is a pnp transistor. The signal of pin 7 on IC1 causes the output signal appearing ot) pin 3 to be modulated or varied by the audio frequency developed by Q1 and Q2. The IC itself is connected as a stable multivibrator with a frequency that is determined by C3. Capacitor C3 sets the basic frequency to be well above the human hearing range (ultrasonic). The combined modulated ultrasonic frequency appears on pin 3 of IC1, where it is coupled by capacitor C4 to the piezoelectric transducer.   (View)

GENERATE_ACCURATE_PWM_SIGNALS

Published:2009/6/24 22:21:00 Author:May

Accurate 10 to 90% duty-cycle PWM signals can be generated using this simple circuit setup.The desired duty cycle is selected by a single jumper block. PWM clock IC1 runs at 10x the desired pulse drive frequency. IC2, a 4017 divide-by-10 counter, decodes the clock pulses into one of 10 out-puts. Output 0 resets IC3, the PWM latch. The latch stays reset until the desired duty-cycle output set by the jumper block is reached. At this point, the PWM Iatch is set, and the PWM output line re-mains high until output 0 is decoded again.By calling IC2's output (0) the reset line for the latch, the PWM output is forced inactive if the jumper strap is rernoved to change duty cycles without first powering down.Using the zero-state reset allows IC2's reset pin to be used as an on/off control line for the cir-cuit. The complementary PWM output could be used in a full bridge design.   (View)
