2500_FREQUENCIES_WITH_SYNCHRONIZA_TION

Published:2009/7/6 2:32:00 Author:May

EXAR XR-2240 programmable timer/ counter containing 8-bit programmable binary counter and stable time-base oscillator can generate over 2500 discrete frequencies from single input reference frequency. Circuit simultaneously multiplies input frequency by factor M and divides by N + 1, where M and N are adjustable integer values. Output frequency Fo is equal to input frequency FR multiplied by M/(1 + N). M and N can be externally adjusted over broad range, with M between 1 and 10 and N between 1 and 255. Multiplication factor M is obtained by locking on harmonics of reference.Division factor N is determined by preprogrammed count in binary counter section, established by wiring appropriate pins 1-8 to output bus. Input reference is 3 V P-P pulse train with pulse duration ranging from 30% to 80% of time-base period T. R1 determines value of M. C is in range of 0.005 to 0.1 μF, and R is between 1K and1 megohm for maximum output frequency of about 200 kHz. With M = 5 and N = 2, 100-Hz clock synchronized to 60-Hz line frequency is obtained.- Timer Data Book, Exar Integrated Systems, Sunnyvale, GA, 1978, p 31-32.   (View)

Regulator conducts and regulates until current demand is such that IR drop across RS is sufficient to overcome base-emitter junction potential of switch transistor QS, which is two 2N174 germanium transistors in parallel. Use 2 ohms for RS. QS is then turned on, with current/voltage regulation to its base controlled by regulator. Input voltage of 7812 regulatorshould be 2 V more than desired output voltage.

PARALLELING_REGU_LATORS

Published:2009/7/6 2:23:00 Author:May

Current-sharing problem is overcome without sacrificing ripple rejection or load regulation, by using bottom regulator as control device that supplies most of load current until current through this regulator reaches about 1.3 A. At this point Q1 turns on and raises output voltage of other regulators to supply additional load current de-mands. Circuit shown will supply up to 6A for minimum input voltage of 8V. For optimum regulation, minimum load current should be 1 A.-C. T. Nelson, Power Distribution and Regulation Can Be Simple, Cheap and Rugged, EDN Magazine, Feb. 20, 1973, p 52-58.   (View)

AUTOMOBILE_LOCATER

Published:2009/7/6 2:22:00 Author:May

This locater is made up of two parts. The first is an rf oscillator, whose circuit is shown in Fig. 8-4a.The second is a sensitive receiver shown in Fig. 8-4b. The heart of the oscillator is a 555 timer IC. Tank circuit C2 and L1 is used to tune the transmitter. The antenna is coupled to the transmitter through C3. A telescopic antenna or a length of hookup wire will work quite well. At the receiver, the incoming signal is tuned by C5 and L2 before being passed on to the 741 IC. The five LEDs are used to indicate signal strength, they light up in order (1 to 5) as the signal gets stronger. After the devices are built, the receiver and transmitter will need to be tuned. Tune the transmitter until all of the receiver's LEDs light. Separate the receiver and the transmitter-the farther apart they are the better-and adjust R4 until you get a maximum strength reading only when the receiver's antenna is pointed directly at the transmitter. Place the transmitter on the dashboard and completely extend the antenna. To find your car, just extend the telescope antenna to its full length and hold it parallel to the ground. Point the antenna to your far left, then swing it to your far right. Do that until you find in which direction the strongest signal lies, as indicated by the LEDs. The antenna will be pointing at your car.   (View)
