SINE_WAVE_DOUBLER

Published:2009/7/13 22:50:00 Author:May

This circuit uses a four-quadrant multiplier by Analog Devices to perform frequency doubling on a sine-wave input signal. By applying a sine wave to both x and y inputs, the multiplier muitiplies the sine wave by itself, resulting in a sine-squared waveform. This waveform is equivalent to a dc level and a cosine component at twice the frequency and half the original amplitude, i.e., sin2x(1-cos 2x)/2-3 dB bandwidth is typically 30 MHz.   (View)

SHAFT_ENCODER

Published:2009/7/13 22:44:00 Author:May

The electro-optical shaft encoder is a combination of encoding disk, photosensors, and counters. The encoding disk and photosensors generate a pulse train that can be counted to determine rate. The disk's direction of rotation can be sensed and used to determine count direction (for example, count up for clockwise and count down for counterclockwise). The disk need not be a precision part; it can be tytade from clear plastic with dark sections or lines painted on it. The number of lines on the disk determines how many pulses are generated per revolution. If two photosensors are used, two signals in quadrature are generated; from those, the direction can be sensed. A simple encoding disk is shown in A; note the alternating transparent and opaque sections. A pair of electro-optical photosensors are positioned (as shown) so that when one is centered over a section, the other is positioned over a transition. As the disk is rotated, each photosensor will be alternately illuminated and obscured and will produce outputs (as shown). A clockwise rotation is indicated when there is a positive transition (from dark section to light section) at sensor B while sensor A is low (obscured by a dark section), a positive transition at A while B is high (over a light section), a negative transition of B (going from light to dark) while A is high, and so forth. A counterclockwise rotation is indicated when there is a positive transition of B when A is high, a negative transition of A when B is high, etc.   (View)

SHAFT_ENCODER_PULSE_GENERATING_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/13 22:42:00 Author:May

This circuit produces one output pulse for every transition of the photosensor output or four pulses for every section or line pair. The exclusive-NOR gates U1-b and U1-c produce a pulse on every transition, and U2, a dual four-channel data selector, decodes them into up pulses or down pulses. The number of sections or lines that can be accommodated on a disk is determined by its diameter and the width of the sections. As an example, if the sections are made approximately 0.125 wide, 25 section pairs can put on a 2 diameter disk and 100 pulses will be generated with every revolution of the disk. The only limiting factor is that the sections must be wider than the photosensor's aperture at the point they pass in front of it, The alignment of the photosensor assembly is not critical. The only concern is that one sensor be over a light area while the other sensor is at a transition from light to dark or dark to light. 1Vro sections of U1, U1-a and U1-c, act as buffers and waveshapers for the outputs of the sensor, while U1-b and U1-d generate a pulse at each transistor of the sensor's output. The 100-k Ω resistors between the output and the input of U1-a and U1-c provide positive feedback to speed up the rise and fall times and also generate hysteresis to eliminate noise during the transitions. The pulses produced by U1-b and U1-d at the transitions are the result of the delay produced by the RC circuits located at one input of each gate. For example, U1-b pin 5 follows the transition immediately, whereas pin 6 follows slowly. With the values shown, the two inputs are different for about 100 μs after every transition. While the inputs are different, the output is low. Therefore, U1-b generates a negative pulse for every transition of sensor U3 and U1-d generates a negative pulse for every transition of U4. The states of U3 and U4 determine whether the pulse is sent to the X output of the data selector (U2, pin 13) to indicate a CCW pulse or to the Y output (pin 3) to indicate a CW pulse.   (View)

300_mA_STEP_DOWN_BATTERY_FOUR_CELL_NiCd_CHARGER

Published:2009/7/13 22:23:00 Author:May

Low-current battery-charger circuits are required in hand-held products such as palmtop, pen-based, and fingertip computers. The charging circuitry for these applications must use surface-mount components and consume minimal board space. The LTC1174 circuit shown provides both of these features. The LTC1174 is a current-mode, step-down switching regulator with a low-loss internal P-channel MOSFET power switch. In this circuit, the peak switch current is programmed to 600 mA. The average charging current is determined by the choice of inductor value and the actual battery voltage, according to the equation. The voltage feedback resistor network is set for an output voltage of 7 Y. NiCd cells have a nominal voltage of 1.2 V, a discharged voltage of 0.9 V, and a fully charged voltage of 1.5 V. A four-cell NiCd pack's voltage will range from 3.6 to 6 V, depending upon its state of charge. When it is attached to the charger, it will pull the output voltage below 7 V and place the LTC1174 into current-limited operation at about 300 mA with the 50-μH inductor shown. Diode D2 prevents the batteries from discharging through the divider network when the charger is shut down by bringing the SHUTDOWN pin low. Less than 10 μA of current is drawn from the sup-ply when the charger is shut down.   (View)
