SINGLE_CHIP_CHECKS_RESISTANCE

Published:2009/7/6 3:44:00 Author:May

Circuit Notes A simple tester can be used for routine checks for resistance on production lines of relays, coils, or similar components where frequent changes in resistance to be tested are not required. The tester is built around a single quad op amp chip, the LM324. R, which is chosen to be around 80 times the resistance to be checked, and the 5 V supply form the current source. The first op amp buffers the voltage generated across the resistance under test, Rx. The second op amp amplifies this voltage. The third and fourth op amps compare the amplified voltage with high and low limits. The high and low limits are segt on multiturn presets with high and low limit resistors connected in place of Rx. LED 1 (red) lights when the resistance is high. LED 2 (greep) shows that the resistance is within limits. LED 3 (red) indicates that the resistance is low.   (View)

COURTESY_LIGHT_EXTENDER

Published:2009/7/6 3:42:00 Author:May

The circuit keeps the courtesy light on for 30 seconds after you close the door. The lead from the door switch is removed and connected to the 555 circuit. The 555 is arranged in a monostable mode, and is triggered by the door switches. The output drives Q1, which is connected across the interior light switch.The interior light is turned on for 30 seconds after the door is opened. If the door(s) are held open for longer than 30 seconds, it will not reset until after the doors are closed. In that case, the lights go out immediately.   (View)

ELECTRONIC_CAR_HORN

Published:2009/7/6 3:41:00 Author:May

An LM556 dual oscillator/timer, U1, configured as a two-tone oscillator drives U2,a dual 4-watt amplifier. One of the oscillators, pins 1 to 6, contained in U1 produces the upper frequency signal of about 200 Hz, while the second oscillator, pins 8 to 13, provides the lower frequency signal of about 140 Hz. Increase or decrease the frequencies by changing the values of C2 and C3. U1's outputs,pins 9 and 5, are connected to separate potentiometers to provide control over volume and balance. Each half of U2 produces 4 W of audio that is delivered to two 8-Ω loudspeakers via capacitors C7 and C8.   (View)

BACK_UP_BEEPER

Published:2009/7/6 3:39:00 Author:May

Put the car in reverse and the circuit provides a loud, audible beep at the rate of about one per second (1 Hz). Half of U1, a 556 dual oscillator/timer, is used as a slow-pulse oscillator with a rate of about 1 Hz. Components R2, R1, and C1 form the long time constant. You can calculate on time by t=.7 (R1 + R2) C1 or 1.15 seconds. The off time is shorter than the on time, at.77 second. Enabling pin 4 (reset) is held high to keep the oscillator freerunning when voltage is applied to pin 14. The output at pin 5 is coupled to pin 10 of U1 enabling oscillator 2. Oscillator 2 of U1 produces an audio output of about 1 kHz, as determined by C2, R3, and R4. Pin 10 (reset) of oscillator 2 is connected to the pin 5 output of oscillator 1. So when pin 5 becomes positive, the oscillator beeps a short pulsed tone of 1 kHz.   (View)

AUTOMATIC_HEADLIGHT_DELAY

Published:2009/7/6 3:36:00 Author:May

When the driver depresses pushbutton switch S1, timing capacitor C1 charges to 12 V and turns on transistor Q1, which drives power transistor Q2 into conduction. This, in turn, energizes the relay which has its contacts connected in parallel with the headlight switch. The relay will stay energized until C1 discharges to the Q1 turn-off level. The lights-on period is determined by the value of C1, R1, and the charac-teristics of transistor Q1. With values chosen on the schematic, about 60 light-on seconds are provided.   (View)

AUTOMOBILE_VOLTAGE_REGULATOR

Published:2009/7/6 3:32:00 Author:May

A monolithic 555-type timer is the heart of this simple automobile voltage regulator. When the timer is off so that its output at pln 3 is low,the power Darlington transistor par is off.If battery voltage becomestoo low,less than 14.4 V in this case,the timer turns on and the Darlington par conducts.   (View)

Basic_8080_8224_8228_interface_for_A_D_converter

Published:2009/7/23 20:43:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit shows a minimum-component interface for the ADC0808/ 0809, where the EOC is tied directly to the 8080 interrupt input. If an INS8228 is used and the INTA pin is tied through a 1-kΩ resistor, the interrupt will cause a restart, RST, to be executed. This causes a jump to a restart vector, and execution of the interrupt. If a very simple multi-interrupt system is desired, a wired-OR configuration using resetable latches (as shown in dashed lines) can be used. Figures 6-21 and 6-22 show the I/O port-address structures.   (View)

10_Hz_TO_2_MHz

Published:2009/7/6 3:19:00 Author:May

Triangle wave is generated by switching current-source transistors to charge and discharge timing capacitor. Precision dual comparator sets peak-to-peak amplitude. Sine converter requires close amplitude control to give low-distortion output from triangle input.Square-wave output is obtained at emitter of Q5, for driving current switches Q1-Q4 and LM318 output amplifier. Scaling permits adjusting all three waveforms to ±10 V. Waveforms are symmetrical up to 1 MHz, and output is usable to about 2 MHz.-R. C.
