DIGITAL_RAMP

Published:2009/7/14 0:33:00 Author:May

Digiial-to-analog technique using single CD4024A CMOS shift register eliminates temperature and linearity problems normally encountered when using RC circuit to drive VCO of digital ramp. Ramp is generated from 50-kHz clock and stopped by applying reset pulse to counters, Use of stable but variable supply for IC permits adjustment of ramp output amplitude, Ramp itself consists of large number of small steps; if these steps are too large, second CD4024A can be added and clock frequency increased. If response of 741 opamp is not adequate for very steep ramps, use opamp having higher slew rate.-K. Bower, CMOS Linear-Ramp Generator Has Amplitude Control, EDN Magazine, June 20, 1973, p 87.   (View)

With 0.01μF, control voltage change from 5 V to 20 V increases duration time linearly from 2 ms to 7.2 ms.-R. J. Haver and B. C.

LIN_LOG_SWEEP

Published:2009/7/14 0:30:00 Author:May

Sweep rate and center frequency are adjustable in versatile sweep generator providing sweep-frequency output and both linear and logarithmic voltages representing output frequency. Optical Electronics 3329 voltage-to-frequency transducer generates sweep voltage at frequency determined by external resistors, capacitor, and input voltage from 10K pot. Sweep waveform is triangular; for sawtooth waveform, change one of 100K timing resistors to 10K. Second 3329 delivers frequency-varying sine wave to 9110B buffer. 10K pot determines center frequency. Stable log f output is obtained with 2457 log module, Frequency and sweep rates can be range-switched from DC to 100 kHz by changing timing capacitor.- Improved Sweep Generator, Optical Electronics, Tucson, AZ, Application Tip 10209.   (View)

FREQUENCY_SYNTHESIZER_

Published:2009/7/13 23:55:00 Author:May

The MAX038 and four other ICs can form a crystal-controlled, digitally programmed frequency synthesizer that produces accurate sine, square, or triangle waves in 1-kHz increments over the range 8 kHz to 16.383 MHz. Each of the 14 manual switches (when open) makes the listed contribution to output frequency: Opening only S0, S1, and S8, for example, produces an output of 259 kHz. The switches generate a 14-bit digital word that is applied in parallel to the D/A converter (IC2) and a ÷N circuit in IC1. IC1 also includes a crystal-controlled oscillator and high-speed phase detector, which form a phase-locked loop with the voltage-controlled oscillator in IC5. The DAC and dual op amp (IC4) produce a 2- to 750-μA current that forces a coarse setting of the IC5 output frequency-sufficient to bring it within capture range of the PLL. This loop, in which the phase detector in IC1 compares IC5's SYNC output with the crystal-oscillator frequency divided by N, produces differential-phase information at PDV and PDR. IC3 then filters and converts this information to a ±2.5-V single-ended signal, which, when summed with an offset and applied to FADJ, forces the signal output frequency to the exact value set by the switches.   (View)

PUMPED_TUNNEL_DIODE_TRANSISTOR_LOGIC_GATE

Nipo gate accepts negative inputs and provides positive outputs, while pino gate accepts positive inputs and provides negative outputs. With no inputs, 200-Mc pump or dock has sufficient amplitude to fire nipo stage tunnel-diode on positive half-cycle and pino stage tunnel-diode on negative half-cycle. When input signal is present, pump cannot ire that tunnel diode; this is basic nor gate action, with output pulse only when there is no input.-E. Gottlieb and J.

STEPPING_SWITCH_POSITION_INDICATOR

Published:2009/7/16 1:43:00 Author:Jessie

Transistor Q generates positive output pulse when input pulse is applied or removed. To obtain such positive pulses when stepping switch of automatic test set reaches positions 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, and 10, contacts ore connected to -10 V. Transfer for contact 1 to 2 then gives no output pulse, but moving from 2 to 3 removes input pulse and thus gives deisired output pulse. Operation depends on under clamped oscillation in unloaded R-L-C ' circuit, with only one negative oscillation because saturated transistor shunts tuned network.-R. J. Bouchard, Positive.

25_A_BATTERY_CHARGER

Published:2009/7/13 23:35:00 Author:May

Battery chargers are usually designed without regard for efficiency, but the heat generated by low-efficiency chargers can present a problem. For those applications, the charger shown in the figure delivers 2.5 A with efficiency as high as 96 percent. It can charge a battery of one to six cells while operating from a car battery. IC1 is a buck-mode switching regulator that controls the external power switch, Q1, and the synchronous rectifier. IC1 includes a charge pump for generating the positive gate-drive voltage required by Q1. The battery-charging current develops a voltage across the 25-MΩ resistor (R3) that is amplified by the op amp and presented as positive-voltage feedback to IC1. This feedback enables the chip to maintain the charging current at 2.5 A. While charging, the circuit can also supply current to a separate load, up to a limit set by current-sense transformer T1 and sense resistor R1. T1 improves efficiency by lowering power dissipation in R1. The transformer turns ratio (1:70) routes only 1/70 of the total battery-plus-load current through R1, creating a feed-back voltage that enables IC1 to limit the overall current to a level compatible with the external components.   (View)
