PWM_SPEED_CONTROLAND_ENERGY_RECOVERING_BRAKE

Published:2009/7/8 4:48:00 Author:May

This circuit uses the main drive motor as a generator/brake to recover the battery charge during vehicle braking. When this is done, it can increase the overall range and efficiency of an electric vehicle. In the accelerate mode, Q1 through Q3 receive gate pulses from U1, an on-line, current-mode, PWM controller IC. Assuming negligible effects of R, when Q1 through Q3 turn on, current I1 builds up through the motor at a rate of: d/I1=VB-VA where: VA = Battery voltage VB= Motor's back EMF LA = Motor inductance in henries Motor current and torque continue to rise until the voltage on the ISENSE line is greater than IRESET, as determined by the speed potentiometer. At this time, Q1 through Q3 are switched off, current I2 begins to flow and decreases at a rate of: dI2 VA — = — dt LA until the next clock period begins.As vehicle braking occurs, accelerate PWM IC U1 is switched off and braking PWM IC U2 and Q2 through Q4 are switched on. During this time, the back EMF source voltage causes current I3 to begin to flow at the rate of: dI3 VA — = — dt LA The current I3 continues to rise until ISENSE is greater than IRESET. Now, Q2 through Q4 are switched off and IB is forced to flow back into the storage battery, thus energy is recovered. The braking torque produced by the motor is proportional to the average reverse current that flows through the motor on the duty cycle of Q2 through Q4. The braking force can continue until: VA =0 For reliable performance, voltage supplies should be independent of the main battery voltage.   (View)

BALANCED_MODULATOR

Published:2009/7/8 4:39:00 Author:May

When the carrier level is adequate to switch the cross-coupled pair of differential amplifiers, the modulation signal, which has been applied to the gate, will be switched at the carrier rate, between the collector loads. When switching occurs, it will result in the modulation being multiplied by a symmetrical switching function. If the modulation gate remains in the linear region, only the first harmonic will be present. To balance the MC1445 modulator, equal gain must be achieved in the two separate channels. To remain in the linear region, the modulation input must be restricted to approximately 200 mV pk-pk. Because the gate bias point is sensitive to the amount of carrier suppression, a high-resolution, 10-turn potentiometer should be used.   (View)

BF_MODULATOR

Published:2009/7/8 4:36:00 Author:May

Because power MOSFETs offer high power gain at both audio and radio frequencies, they are useful in many areas of radio-circuit design. For rf applications, a MOSFET's large safe operating area, VDS vs ID, protects it against damage from reflected rf energy. As a modulator, a MOSFET's transfer linearity aids fidelity. In the suppressed-carrier modulator, an rf signal is applied to the primary of transformer T1, whose secondaries provide equal-amplitude, opposite-phase rf drive signals to output FETs Q1 and Q2.Output V0 is zero when no audio-frequency signals are present, because the opposite-phase rf signals from Q1 and Q2 cancel. When audio-frequency signals appear at nodes A and B, you obtain a modulated rf output (V0). Source resistors R18 and R19 improve the dc stability and low-frequency gain. A phase inverter, based on the dual op amp IC1A and IC1B, generates the out-of-phase, equal-amplitude, audio-frequency modulation signals.   (View)

SAW_SOCILLATOR_MODULATOR

Published:2009/7/8 4:34:00 Author:May

Adding a diode, a resistor, and a capacitor to the SAW (surface-acoustic-wave) oscillator allows you to use the oscillator in FSK (frequency-shift-keying) applications. D1, R1, and C1 form a simple diode switch in which D1 shunts C1 to ground. When the digital FSK input to R1 is low, D1 is off, and the small junction capacitance of D1 couples C1 to ground. A high FSK signal causes current to flow through R1 and D1.D1's dynamic impedance is small when it is in forward conduction. Therefore, C1 sees a lower impedance path to ground. Thus, the FSK input effectively switches C1 in and out of the oscillator's circuit. When C1 is in the circuit-digital FSK is high-it pulls the frequency of the circuit slightly lower because of the additional phase shift C1 introduces at the GaGs FET gate terminal (available from: Dexcel, Div. of Gould, Santa Clara, CA). The SAW device (available from: RF Monolithics, Dallas, TX) restricts the amount of frequency shifting-usually less than 20 ppm for a high-Q SAW device. The oscillator shown produces a center frequency of 896.2 MHz with an FSK deviation of 17 kHz when you drive the FSK input with a 0 to 5 V signal. The frequency also depends on L1 and C2.   (View)

SIGNAL_TRACK_AND_HOLD

Published:2009/7/8 4:34:00 Author:May

When the switch is closed or the FET is conducting, the circuit behaves as an inverting amplifier with a gain of R2/R1. Since as the inverting terminal of the op amp is a virtual ground, the capacitor is kept charged to the output voltage by the op amp. When the switch is opened and the FET is nonconducting, the voltage at the output is held constant by the capacitor, the current demands of the next stage are met by the op amp. The value of C should be chosen so that its impedance at the operating frequency is large compared to R1 and R2.   (View)

RF_MODULATOR

Published:2009/7/8 4:31:00 Author:May

Two IC rf modulators convert a suitable baseband video and audio signal up to a low VHF modulated carrier-Channel 2 through 6 in the U.S., and 1 through 3 in Japan-the LM1889 and the LM2889. Both ICs are identical regarding the rf modulation function, including pin outs, and can provide either of two rf carriers with dc switch selection of the desired carrier frequency. The LM1889 includes a crystal-controlled chroma subcarrier oscillator and balanced modulator for encoding R through Y or U and V color difference signals. A sound intercarrier frequency lc oscillator is modulated using an external vatactor diode. The LM2889 replaces the chroma subcarrier function of the LM1889 with a video dc restoration clamp and an internal frequency-modulated sound intercarrier oscillator.   (View)

DOOR_OPENER

Published:2009/7/8 4:24:00 Author:May

The door opener derives its power from a 9-V battery. A momentary-contact switch, S2, is provided in the event that manual opening and closing is required. Relay K1 is a 9-V type and relay K2 is a 117-Vac latching-type, which automatically latches with the first burst of current and opens on the second burst. The gate lead of the LASCR is not used;a light source triggers the LASCR unit into conduction, causing current to flow in the coil of the relay.That, in turn, causes K1's contacts to close,thereby energizing K2 (closing its contacts), and operating the garage door motor.   (View)
