VOLTAGE_CONTROLLED_GAIN

Published:2009/7/16 2:17:00 Author:Jessie

Response of two-transistor a-c amplifier, controlled by d-c voltage, can be mode linear by adding suitable feedback. With no d-c control voltage on base of Q1, both transistors are saturated, and effective shunt resistance of circuit is about 500,000 ohms, When d-c control voltage is increased positively until Q1 is cut off, effective shunt resistance drops to 200,000 ohms.-L.

AMPLIFIED_AGC_1

Published:2009/7/16 2:10:00 Author:Jessie

Uses d-c amplifier in agc circuit to keep output of communication receiver more nearly constant despite widely varying input signal. One drawback of amplified agc is that when d-c ampliler plate current drops, bias voltage at its cathode increases agc output and thereby reduces gain of controlled stages.-NBS, Handbook Preferred Circuits Navy Aeronautical Electronic Equipment, Vol. 1, Electron Tube Circuits, 1963, p N 12-4.   (View)

THYRISTOR_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/13 20:52:00 Author:May

When circuit of conventional P-gate thyristor is grounded by switch, negative-going pulse is applied to thyristor cathode, which reverse-biases the diode. When thyristor conducts, diode is forward-biased and has only about 0.7-V drop. Use low-voltage diode, rated for full load current. Opening of relay contacts makes circuit switch off.-R. V. Hartopp, Grounded Gate Thyristor, Wireless World, Feb. 1977, p 45.   (View)

VOLTAGE_SENSITIVE_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/13 20:42:00 Author:May

RCA 40527 triac is triggered by small neon. After breakdown occurs bidirectionally at 88 V, triac takes over as short-circuit. D1 can be any other voltage breakdown device, such as diac or zener, and thyristor can be used in place of triac to give unilateral switching. Applications include use as power crowbar, with breakdown level set by artificial resistance-controlled zener.-L. A. Rosenthal, Breakdown and Power Devices Form Unusual Power Switch, EDN Magazine, July 5, 1974,p74-75.   (View)

PERFECT_AC_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/13 20:39:00 Author:May

Developed for use in computdrized equipment to prevent generation of severe noise spikes if contact closure can occur at any point in AC cycle. Closing S1 gates solid-state relay SSR1, which noiselessly switches load at next zero crossing. During this time, C2 charges through R2, After time T = 3R2C2, MJE800 Darlington is turned on, pulling in relay K1 to follow up SSR1 with hard contacts.When S1 is later opened, K1 drops out immediately but C1 discharges through gate of SSR1 to hold it on for about T = 6R1C1. Load is then switched off at next zero crossing after this delay.-E. Woodward, This Circuit Switches AC Loads the Clean Way, EDN Magazine, Nov. 20, 1975, p 160 and 162.   (View)

Monopulse radar amplifier stages are used in cascade, each with different fixed gain and a slicer that switches from that gain to unity gain if signal exceeds predetermined reference level. Give gain up to 80 db in 0.5-db steps, equivalent to fast agc, to give constant 10-v output for signals ranging from 1 mv to 10 mv. -W. W.
