PROXIMITY_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/13 3:14:00 Author:May

Hand brought near sensor plate induces 60-Hz power-line hum in section of quad two-input NOR gate. Hum is squared bygateand used to trip section of 4013 connected as retriggerable mono MVBR. Output of mono is clean from instant of first proximity until several milliseconds after moving hand away. Sensitivity depends on size of metal plate and on number of permissible false alarms from other noise sources nearby.-D. Lancaster, CMOS Cookbook, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1977, p 278-282.   (View)

LOGIC_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/13 3:09:00 Author:May

Can be used with batterypowered circuits because CMOS touch switch does not require body pickup of AC Iine hum for switchina action. Schmitt trigger IC1 forms 100 kHz oscillator. IC2a amplifies oscillator output and charges C1 through diode. When sensor is touched, oscillator output is severely attenuated, making C1 discharge and thereby changing output state of level detector IC2b. Sensor is 1-inch-square of double-sided printed-circuit board with lower side divided into two equal sections.-N. Sunderland, C.M.O.S. Touch Switch, Wireless World, May 1978, p 69.   (View)

LATCHING_TOUCH_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/13 3:05:00 Author:May

Uses LED as status display that substitutes for tactile feel of ordinary pushbutton switch. In reset state, LED is off. When touch contacts are bridged by resistance of finger, flip-flop changes state and LED comes on while output changes to high state.-V.

TOUCH_SWITCH_1

Published:2009/7/13 3:03:00 Author:May

Performs function of switch by means of relay contacts when SCR is triggered by placing finger on touch plate. Values shown keep relay energized for 5-10 s after touch. Developed as replacement for switchtype controls on amateur radio receiver. Once SCR has fired, it conducts until charge on 1000-μF capacitor decreases enough to drop SCR current below minimum for conduction.-J. J. Schultz, Rapid Receiver Control Switching, 73 Magazine, Dec. 1973, p 67-69.   (View)

TOUCH_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/13 3:01:00 Author:May

Uses NE-77 neon lamp, which is similar to NE-2 but has third electrode for triggering. When person touches metal sensor plate of switch, AC voltage picked up by body is applied to trigger electrode of neon, making it fire and energize 5000-ohm relay K1 (Potter & Brumfield RS5D or equivalent). Relay remains energized until S2 is opened to reset circuit. Adjust R1 so voltage applied to center electrode of V1 is just below trigger point.-J. P. Shields, How to Build Proximity Detectors & Metal Locators, Howard W.Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 2nd Ed., 1972, p 52-55.   (View)

TOUCH_CONTROLLED_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/16 5:48:00 Author:Jessie

Normal 30 to 100-pf capacitance of human body turns lamp on and off. Touching on antenna loads high-impedance network, reducing neon-lamp oscillator voltage below level required for firing four-layer pnpn germanium alloy transistor, and current that was shunted to ground through transistor now operates relay, turning on lamp. Touching off antenna reverses all conditions. -S. B. Gray, Home and Auto Controls, Electronics, 36:19, p 52-66.   (View)

DEBOUNCE_FOR_TOUCH_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/13 2:47:00 Author:May

Two CMOS inverters respond to high-impedance path between electrodes of touch switeh to provide finger-touch sensitivity and positive switching action with minimum components. Large time constant of R1C1 requires wait of about 4 s before attempting to retrigger circuit. C2 prevents oscillation from 60-Hz pickup when electrodes are touched.-H.

OVERCURRENT_PROTECTION_FOR_400_V_SUPPLY

Published:2009/7/13 2:46:00 Author:May

R1 and Q1 form current detector for bias supply. At normal current levels, voltage drop is very small and Q2 is reverse-biased. When current reaches 400 μA, voltage drop across R1 forces gate of Q1 to near pinchoff. Combined voltage drop across R1 and Q1 then becomes large so Q2 is forced almost to full conduction.Q3 and Q4 then tum on Q5, to provide overcurrent-alarm signal foractivating logic circuit that shuts off power supply.-J. P. Thompson, Overcurrent Alarm Protects HV Supply, EDN Magazine, Nov. 20, 1978, p 321-322.   (View)

THREE_STEP_SEQUENCE_TIMER

Published:2009/7/13 2:34:00 Author:May

Provides three different outputs at predetermined time intervals for initializing conditions during startup or for activating test signals in sequence. Uses three Texas Instruments SN52555 or SN72555 timers which are interchangeable with other 555 timers. Values of R and C at output of each timer determine delays (T=1.1RC). With values shown below timers, output A is 5 V for interval of 1.1 s after switch is closed. At end of this interval, output B goes to 5 V for 0.5 s, after which output C goes to 5 V for 1.5 s to complete sequence. Supply can be 5-15 V.- The Linear and Interface Circuits Data Book for Design Engineers, Texas Instruments, Dallas, TX, 1973, p 7-53-7-61.   (View)
