ZERO_POINT_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/13 22:44:00 Author:May

Used to control resistive loads. With S1 open, triac Q2 is turned on very close to zero on initial part of positive half-cycle because of large current flow into C2.Once Q2 is on, C3 charges through D5. When line voltage goes through zero and starts negative, C3 is still discharging into gate of C2 to turn it on near zero of negative half-cycle. Load current thus flows for most of both half-cycles. When S1 is closed, Q1 is turned on and shunts gate current away from Q2 during positive half-cycles. Q2 cannot turn on during negative half-cycle because C3 cannot charge, which makes load current zero.- Circuit Applications for the Triac, Motorola, Phoenix, AZ, 1971, AN-466, p 12.   (View)

TIME_DELAYED_MODEL_ROCKET_LAUNCH_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/13 22:07:00 Author:May

The circuit, which gives a choice of six delay settings, consists of three 555 oscillator/timers (U1 to U3), a pair of transistors (Q1 and Q2), four switches (S1 to S4), a piezoelectric buzzer (BZ1), and a few support components. Power for both the control circuit and the rocket-engine igniter is provided by a 6-V power source that is composed of four AA-cell alkaline batteries. Closing switch S1 feeds power to the launch-control circuit, but does not initiate a launch sequence. A pair of series RC circuits(R4-C9 and R8-C12, respectively) are used to debounce the RESET inputs (pins 4) of U1 and U2 (a pair of 555 oscillator/timer ICs). When S2 is closed, C1's negative terminal is connected to ground through the switch, momentarily pulling pin 2 of U1 (which is configured as a monostable multivibrator, or one-shot) low, activating it. Once triggered, U1's output goes high for an interval that is determined by R3 and one of six timing capacitors (C2 through C8). The timing capacitor is selected via DELAY SELECTOR switch S3. The high output of U1 at pin 3 causes Q2 to turn on, allowing the piezoelectric buzzer BZ1 to turn on. Monostable U1's output is also fed to the RESET input of U3 at pin 4, causing it to oscillate with a duty cycle of about 75 percent. As long as the output of U1 is high and the astable is oscillating, BZ1 beeps once every 4 s. The resistor discharges coupling capacitor C10 whenever U1's output goes high. At the end of the selected time delay, U1's output goes low.That low is coupled through C10 and D1 to the TRIGGER input (pin 2) of U2. Components R7 and C11 set U2's high-output interval to approximately 3 s. During that 3-s interval, U2's high output at pin 3 is fed to Darlington transistor Q1 through R9. With S4 in the LAUNCH position, Q1 grounds one end of the engine igniter, effectively connecting it to the battery's negative terminal.   (View)

FULL_WAVE_AC_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/13 22:04:00 Author:May

Motorola type MDA920-1 bridge rectifier provides full-wave rectification of AC line voltage for 2N5064 SCR placed across DC output of bridge. When positive logic pulse from CMOS circuit energizes optoisolator, SCB conducts and completes path for triac gate trigger current through bridge and SCR, turning on AC load. Triac rating determines size of load. Drawback of circuit is generation of EMI if logic signal occurs at other than zero crossings of AC line.-A.

LINE_POWERED_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/13 21:43:00 Author:May

When AC line twitch is closed, power is not applied to load until after line voltage next goes through zero. Identical circuits control each half of AC cycle. Transistor turn-on at 1.4 V prevents SCR from triggering until 0.013 ms (less than one-third electrical degree) after next zero-crossing point.-A. S. Roberts and O. W.

TR_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/13 21:43:00 Author:May

Used to control low-power transceiver for 20-meter amateur band. Sidetone is obtained from simple relaxation oscillator using GED-13-T programmable UJT. Sawtooth output is attenuated and applied to input of two-transistor audio amplifier. Transmitter keying is done with series switch using 2N4036 silicon transistor. Antenna relay applies +12 V appropriately to transceiver stages used during transmit (+12T) and receive (+12R), and provides switching of antenna between transmitter power chain and receiver RF amplifier. Use DPDT relay with 800-ohm 12-V coil. Transmit receive logic uses μA741C opamp as differential comparator. When key is closed, 2.2-μF capacitor is discharged, making opamp output switch to high state and saturate 2N3904 relay driver, pulling in relay for transmit operation. When key is released, capacitor begins to charge; at 6-V point (about 0.5 s with 220K timing resistor), opamp changes state again and relay opens for receiving.-W. Hayward, Low-Power Single Band CW Transceiver, Ham Radio, Nov. 1974, p 8-17.   (View)

BRIDGE_TRIGGERED__TRIAC

Published:2009/7/13 21:41:00 Author:May

Developed for use with AC sensor in one leg of bridge. CA3094 is shut down on negative half-cycles of line. When bridge is unbalanced so as to make pin 2 more positive than pin 3, IC is off at instant that AC line swings positive; pin 8 then goes high and drives triac into conduction. Triac conduction is maintained on next negative half-cycle by energy stored in 100-μF capacitor. Bridge unbalance in opposite direction does not trigger triac.-E. M. Noll, Linear IC Principles, Experiments, and Projects, Howard W, Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1974, p 313-314.   (View)

SIGNAL_LEVEL_CONTROLS_GAIN

Published:2009/7/16 2:25:00 Author:Jessie

Amplifier is used with nonlinear circuit elements to gel D-versus-log E characteristic approximating that of positive color film being scanned. When no signal is applied to grid of V1, all diodes in its cathode circuits are conducting, equivalent cathode resistance is lowest, and stage gain is highest. As signal level increases, diodes V4 through V9 successively stop conducting, with V9 turning off last to make stage gain a minimum.-R. lid. Farber and K. M.
