FET_DPDT

Published:2009/7/14 1:05:00 Author:May

Uses FETs as switching elements for transferring VFO and carrier oscillator signals between first and second mixers of SSB transceiver. Transmitter key line is at +13 V on receive and 0 V on transmit, and T line has opposite voltages. On receive, Q304 and Q305 are pinched off by about +10 V, while Q303 and Q306 are conducting with only about +0.7 V on their gates. VFO signal then flows to first mixer and carrier oscillator to second mixer. On transmit, conditions are opposite.-J. Schultz, CQ Re-views: The Atlas 210 and 215 SSB Transceivers, CQ, May 1975, p 22-27 and 65.   (View)

ANALOG_SWITCH_PROTECTION_

Published:2009/7/14 0:54:00 Author:May

Current-limiting resistors are used in series with sections of DG300 dual analog switch to limit contact currents to 30 mA continuous or 100 mA pulsed for less than 1 ms. Values of limiting resistors depend on supply voltage used and are therefore determined by experimentation. Technique is suitable for applications in which DG300 serves for charging and discharging capacitor.- Analog Switches and Their Applications, Siliconix, Santa Clara, CA, 1976, p 7-81.   (View)

LATCHING_SPDT

Published:2009/7/14 0:50:00 Author:May

DG200 CMOS analog switch is driven through pair of NAND gates connected for logic inputs. With inputs normally low, both switches are held in predetermined states. When either input receives high command pulse, switches assume states given in truth table. Both switches are off when both inputs are held high; after release of high commands, last input to go low determines states of switches.- Analog Switches and Their Applications, Siliconix, Santa Clara, CA, 1976, p 7-69.   (View)

RAMP_FROM

Published:2009/7/14 0:40:00 Author:May

10 V-Based on use of integrating opamp to generate triangle wave from square wave. Circuit goes one step further by convening triangle to ramp function having predetermined negative starting level of -10V. When square-wave input signal changes in polarity from positive to negative, output of circuit begins to go positive as ramp function and C4 charges with output voltage. When input changes from negative to positive and output begins to go negative, Q1 conducts and drives noninverting input of opamp negative. Since square-wave input is positive at this time, opamp output is forced to go negative at its slew rate. Output then remains negative until square-wave input switches in negative direction for repeating cycle.-L.

VARIABLE_START_STOP

Published:2009/7/14 0:37:00 Author:May

Ramp generator can be operated either in full ramp mode, with out-put sweeping from 0 to +10 V, or partial ramp mode in which output sweeps between adjustable starting point and adjustable stopping point. R5 selects time period in both modes. Ramp is reset automatically when output reaches preset voltage limit. Values shown for C2 and R5 give 100-s charge time, but changing R5 to 1 megohm increases charge period to 7 min. S3 stops ramp and resets circuit at any point in ramp cycle.-D.
