INTERFACE_TO_680X_650X_AND_8080_FAMILIES

Published:2009/7/7 2:21:00 Author:May

Circuits to interface the Si7135 directly with two popular microprocessors are shown in Figs. 18-2a and b. The 8080/8048 and the MC6800 families with 8-bit words need to have polarity, overrange, and underrange multiplexed onto the digit 5 word. In each case, the microprocessor can instruct the ADC when to begin a measurement and when to hold this measurement. The Si7135 is designed to work from ±5 V supplies. However, if a negative supply is not available, it can be generated using 2 capacitors, and an inexpensive Si7660 or Si7661 IC, as shown in Fig. 18-2c.   (View)

AUTOMATIC_RS_232_DATASELECTOR

Published:2009/7/7 2:15:00 Author:May

With this dataselector, only one RS-232 port is used to connect two RS-232 devices (i.e., printer, plotter, etc.) with a mini- or microcomputer. The operation is very simple. Power on will reset FFI (QFFI = Low), which enables gates N1, NS, and N7. Now communication between computer and device B is possible. Detection of the switch command, i.e., Control B character = CHR$(2), selectable with wirewrap pins, on the parallel outputs of the UART (IM 6402 or equivalent) will set: QFFI= High. Gates N2, N5, and N7 are open, so device A is connected with the computer until Control B character is detected again. Transistor Q1 converts RS-232 levels to TTL levels while two LEDs indicate whether device A or B is linked. The baud-rate generator provides the 16 x clock needed for the UART. Any baud rate ranging from 50 to 19200 can be selected. Manual control of the selector is available with toggleswitch S1.   (View)

Wid el range function generator built around LM111 comparator provides two different output waveforms whose frequency can be varied over five decades by R,, from 1 Hz to 100 kHz. Two transistor pairs are used to vary charging current of timing capacitor exponentially. Output current fromtransistor pairs is controlled by linear pot, so rotation of pot is proportional to log of output frequency.

Published:2009/7/7 1:51:00 Author:May

Four-tran sistor circuit provides choice of linear or logarithmic sweeps for Intersil 8038 IC function generator. In linear mode, constant-current generator Tr3 charges C1 almost linearly, with Tr1-Yr2 resetting C1 when its voltage reaches about one-third VCC plus 0.9 V.In logarithmic mode, positive feedback provides exponential charging of C1. Voltage at B must be set experimentally because it depends on VCC For overall frequency control, make R5variable.

HI_FI_EXPANDER_WITH_DE_EMPHASIS

Published:2009/7/7 1:43:00 Author:May

The expander to complement the compressor is shown. An external op amp is used for high slew rate. Both the compressor and expander have unity gain levels of 0 dB. Trim networks are shown for distortion (THD) and dc shift. The distortion trim should be done first, with an input of 0 dB at 10 kHz. The dc shift should be adjusted for minimum envelope bounce with tone bursts. When applied to consumer tape recorders, the subjective performance of this system is excellent.   (View)

VARIABLE_SLOPE_COMPRESSOR_EXPANDER

Published:2009/7/7 1:40:00 Author:May

Compression and expansion ratios other than 2:1 can be achieved by the circuit shown. Rotation of the dual potentiometer causes the circuit hook-up to change from a basic compressor to a basic expander. In the center of rotation, the circuit is 1:1, has neither compression nor expansion. The (input) output transfer characteristic is thus continuously variable from 2:1 compression to 1:2 expansion. If a fixed compression or expansion ratio is desired, proper selection of fixed resistors can be used instead of the potentiometer. The optional threshold resistor will make the compression or expansion ratio deviate towards 1:1 at low levels. A wide variety of (input) output characteristics can be created with this circuit.   (View)

MONOSTABLE_MULTIVIBRATOR

Published:2009/7/7 1:21:00 Author:May

The circuit illustrates the usefulness of the HA-5151 as a battery-powered monostable. In this cir-cuit, the ratio is set to.632, which allows the time constant equation to be reduced to:T = RtCtD2 is used to force the output to a defined state by clamping the negative input at +0.6 V. Trigger-ing is set by C1, R3, and D2. An applied trigger pulls the positive input below the clamp voltage, +0.6 V, which causes the output to change state. This state is held because the negative input cannot follow the change because of Rt· Ct. This particu-lar circuit has an output pulse width set at approxi-mately 100 μs. Use of potentiometers for Rt and variable capacitors for Ct will allow for a wide variation in T.   (View)

POSITIVE_TRIGGERED_MONOSTABLE

Published:2009/7/7 1:18:00 Author:May

A positive-going trigger pulse can be used to start the timing cycle with the circuit shown. In this design, trigger input pin 2 is biased to 6 V (1/2 VDD) by divider R1 and R2. Control input pin 5 is biased to 8 V (2/3 VDD) by the internal divider circuit. With no trigger voltage applied, point A is at 4 V (1/3 VDD). To turn the timer on, the voltage at point A has to be greater than the 6 V present on pin 2. Positive 5-V trigger pulse VI applied to the control input pin 5 is ac coupled through capacitor C1, adding the trigger voltage to the 8 V already on pin 5; this results in 13 V with respect to ground. The output pulse width is determined by the values of Rt and Ct.When voltage at point A is increased to 6.5 V, which is greater than the 6 V on pin 2, the timer cycle is initialized. The output of timer pin 3 increases, tuming off discharge transistor pin 7 and allowing Ct to charge through resistor Rt. When capacitor Ct charges to the upper threshold voltage of 8 V( 2/3 VDD), the flip-flop is reset and output pin 3 decreases. Capacitor Ct then discharges through the discharge transistor. The timer is not triggered again until another trigger pulse is applied to control input pin 5.   (View)
