INDUCTION_MOTOR_SPEED

Published:2009/7/7 3:10:00 Author:May

Uses variable-frequency UJT oscillator at upper left to toggle MC664 RS flip-flop which in turn clocks MC663 JK flip-flops. Quadrature-phased JK outputs are combined with fixed-width pulses in MC672 to provide zero-voltage steps of drive signals for phase A and phase B. Outputs of RS flip-flops are differentiated and positive-going transitions amplified by pair of 2N3904 transistors, with pulse width of about 500μs. NAND-gate outputs are then translated by small-signal amplifiers to levels suitable for driving final transistors having complementary NPN/PNP pairs .Circuit will provide speed range of 300 to 1700 rpm for permanent-split capacitor motor.-T.

DIGITAL_TEMPERATURE_MEASURING_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/7 2:50:00 Author:May

The output voltage of a thermocouple is converted into frequency measured by a digital frequency meter. The measuring set connected with Ni-NiCr thermocouple permits you to measure the temperatures within the range of 5℃ - 800℃ with ±1℃ error. The output thermocouple signal is proportional to the temperature difference between the hot junction and the thermostat kept at 0 ℃, it drives the voltage-to-frequency converter changing the analogue input signal into the output frequency with the conversion ratio adjusted in such a way, that the frequency is equal to the measured temperature in Celsius degrees, e.g., for350℃ the frequency value is 350 Hz.   (View)

TEMPERATURE_TO_FREQUENCY_CONVERTER

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

A1's positive input is biased by the thermocouple. A1's output drives a crude V → F converter, comprised of the 74C04 inverters and associated components. Each V→F output pulse cduses a fixed quantity of charge to be dispensed into the 1 μF capacitor from the 100 pF capacitor via the LT1043 switch. The larger capacitor integrates the packets of charge, producing a dc voltage at A1's negative input. A1's output forces the V→F converter to run at whatever frequency is required to balance the amplifier's inputs. This feedback action eliminates drift and nonlinearities in the V→F converter as an error item and the output frequency is solely a function of the dc conditions at A1's inputs. The 3300 pF capacitor forms a dominant response pole at A1, stabilizing the loop.   (View)

Designed for operation from 12.5-V supply, using driver stage to provide total power gain of about 30 dB for 3-30 MHz band. Negative collector-to-base feedback provides gain compensation in both driver and output stages.

CURVATURE_CORRECTED_PLATINUM_RTD_THERMOMETER

Published:2009/7/7 2:41:00 Author:May

This thermometer is capable of 0.01℃ accuracy over -50℃ to + 150℃. A unique trimarrangement eliminates cumbersome trim interactions so that zero gain, and nonlinearity correction can be trimmed in one even trip. Extra op amps provide full Kelvin sensing on the sensor without adding drift and offset terms found in other designs. A1 is configured as a Howland current pump, biasing the sensor with a fixed current. Resistors R2, R3, R4 and R5 form a bridge driven into balance by A1. In balance, both inputs of A2 are at the same voltage. Since R6 = R7, A1 draws equal currents from both legs of the bridge. Any loading of the R4/R5 leg by the sensor would unbalance the bridge ; therefore, both bridge taps are given to the sensor open circuit voltage and no current is drawn.   (View)

TEMPERATURE_SENSOR_AND_DVM_INTERFACE

Published:2009/7/7 2:39:00 Author:May

The DVM gives a direct indication of the temperature of the sensor in degrees Centigrade. The temperature sensor IC1 gives a nominal 1 μA per degree Kelvin which is converted to 10 mV per degree Kelvin by R1 and VR1. IC2 is a micropower, low input drift op amp with internal voltage reference and amplifier. The main op amp in IC1 is connected as a voltage follower to buffer the sensor voltage at R1.The second amplifier in IC1 is used to amplify the.2 V internal reference up to 2.73 V in order to offset the 273 degrees below 0℃. The output voltage of the unit is the differential output of the two op amps and is thus equal to 0.01 V per ℃.   (View)

DUAL_OUTPUT，OVER_UNDER_TEMPERATURE_MONITOR

Published:2009/7/7 2:37:00 Author:May

This circuit is ideal for use as an over-under temperature monitor, where its dual output feature can be used to drive HIGH and LOW temperature indicator lamps, relays, etc. T1 is a 6.3 volt filament transformer whose secondary winding is connected inside a four arm bridge. When the bridge is balanced, ac output is zero, and C5 (or C7) receives no gate signal. If the bridge is unbalanced by raising or lowering the thermistor's ambient temperature, and ac voltage will appear across the SCR's gate cathode terminals. Depending in which sense the bridge is unbalanced, the positive gate voltage will be in phase with, or 180° out of phase with the ac supply. If the positive gate voltage is in phase, the SCR will deliver load current through diode CR1 to load (1), diode CR2 blocking current to load (2). Conversely, if positive gate voltage is 180° out of phase, diode CR2 will conduct and deliver power to load (2), CR1 being reverse biased under these conditions. With the component values shown, the circuit will respond to changes in temperature of approximately 1-2℃. Substitution of other variable-resistance sensors, such as cadmium sulfide light dependent resistors (LDR) or strain gauge elements, for the thermistor shown is permissible.   (View)

RGB_BLUE_BOX

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

The RGB blue box turns your PC's RGB-moni-tor screen blue at the flip of a switch. That is, it makes your computer display bright white text on a blue background, instead of the usual low-intensity white on black. The RGB blue box connects between your IBM PC color graphics adapter, or equivalent, and your RGB color monitor. By flipping a switch, you choose between two modes. One mode passes the signal from the PC to the monitor unaltered; the other transforms it to make text more readable. The monitor has four TTL-level inputs-red, green, blue, and intensity-and it interprets disconnected wires as on. That's why the screen turns white if you disconnect the monitor from the computer, and blue if you disconnect only the blue line. Instead of just discarding the blue signal,the blue box reroutes it to the intensity input. As a result, most of the text colors come out intensified.   (View)
