REMOTE_FREQUENCY_CONTROL

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

Frequency of square and triangle outputs can be ad justed over range of 1,000,000:1 with 10K pot or by varying DC voltage applied to pin 5 of CA3080A over wire line from remote location. CA3140 serves as noninverting readout amplifier for triangle wave developed across integrating capacitor network at output of CA3080A current source. Second CA3080 acts as high-hysteresis switch having trip level established by four diodes,to give desired square-wave output．－''Linear Integrated Circuits and MOS/FET's,''RCA Solid State Divsion,Somerville,NJ,1977,p 248－254.   (View)

REVOLUTION_COUNTING_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/7 2:59:00 Author:May

When desired number of revolutions is reached by DC motor, as determined by preset counter, Tr1, is turned off to interrupt path to 5-V motor supply, while TR2 is turned on to brake motor rapidly. Voltage developed across 5-ohm resistor Rs, in series with motor contains frequency component related to speed of rotation and number of armature coils. This signal is amplified by CD4007 CMOS inverter for feeding to counters through signal-squaring inverters. Counter out-puts are decoded by gate 1. Motor slowdown by heavy loads does not affect accuracy of revolution-counting.-R. McGillivray, Motor Revolutions Control, Wireless World, Jan. 1977, p 76.   (View)

SHUNT_MODE_SPEED_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/7 2:52:00 Author:May

AC tachometer on shaft of DC motor sernves as input for National LM2917N-8 IC acting as shunt-mode regulator with LED indicator. Output of Darling-ton power transistor provides analog drive to motor. As motor speed approaches reference level set by values chosen for R1, C1, and C2, AC current to motor is proportionately reduced so TACH motor comes gradually up to speed and is maintained there without operating in switching mode . Advantage of this arrangement is absence of electric noise normally generated during switching-mode operation.- Linear Applications, Vol. 2, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA, 1976, AN-162 p 10-11.   (View)

FACSIMILE_PHASE_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/7 2:31:00 Author:May

Circuit provides accurate phasing of 51-polpair phonic/synchronous motor in facsimile transmitter, and can readily be adapted for similar applications. A 16-stage shift register loaded with 1 bit and connected as ring counter is clocked at 16 times required drive motor frequency. This gives pulse train with 1:15 mark-space ratio and repetition rate equal to drive frequency. Multiplexer used as single-pole 16-way switch can select output for any stage of shift register; each clockwise switch step gives 360/16 or 22.5° phase advance.

CASSETTE_DRIVE_CONTROLLER

Published:2009/7/7 2:08:00 Author:May

Used in high-quality stereo cassette deck operating from AC line or battery. Combines current source for cassette-retaining solenoid with speed control for drive motor. As motor turns, associated motor-driven pulse-generating switch keeps Tr1, conducting; this cuts off Tr2 and allows current to flow through Tr3 for energizing solenoid. When motor stops, pulse-generating switch also stops and Tr1 stops con-ducting. After 3-s delay determined by C2 and R5, Tr2 conducts and solenoid is deenergized, releasing cassette. In speed control circuit, Tr5 acts as constant-current source for motor, using feedback from its collector to base of Tr4 Back EMF developed by motor is applied to emitter of Tr4 reducing its forward bias and reducing current In the base of Tr5, so as to stabilize motor Article gives all other circuits of cassette deck and describes operation in detail.-J.

Precision_programmable_timers_using_the_Intersil_8240_8250_16_pin_DIP

Published:2009/7/21 22:29:00 Author:Jessie

Precision programmable timers using the Intersil 8240/8250 16-pin DIP. The timer is used in the monostable mode. The output is normally high and goes low to trigger an input. Components R and C at pin 13 determine the time cycle. The timing duration, TO is equal to NBC, where R and C are component values and N is a number between 1 and 255. Integer N is determined by the combination of pins 1 through 8 connected to the output bus. The 8250 can be programmed for numbers between 1 and 99. The numbers shown on the schematic adjacent to pin 1 through 8 are the respective N integers, with the upper ones for the 8240 and the lower ones for the 8250 (courtesy Intersil, Inc.).   (View)

SERIES_MOTOR_SPEED_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/7 1:45:00 Author:May

Adjustable-speed solid-state motor drive replaces governor in Kleinschmidt RTTY page printer, to give knob-controlled speed range of 60 to 100 WPM.Notched (33-slot) sheet-aluminum disk serving as pulse wheel is mounted on motor shaft and rotates in gap bemoan LED and phototransistor of GE H13A1 optical coupler to form motor-speed sensor or tachometer. Pulses from tachometer, squared by Q1, trigger mono MVBR Q2-Q3 which converts signal to constant-amplitude constant-width pulses having repetition rate proportional to motor speed. Opamp U1 forms three-pole Butterworth active filter that develops required average DC voltage from pulse train. Output current of U1 is compared to reference current derived from speed control circuit, for switching U2 sharply on and off as speed varies above and below desired value. U2 in turn switches motor on and off through H15A1 optical coupler and Q4 in gate circuit of triac. Second coupler isolates control circuit from AC line.-K. H.

DC_MOTOR_SPEED_CONTROLLER

Published:2009/7/7 1:39:00 Author:May

Tachometer driven by motor produces output voltage proportional to speed for application to CA3080A voltage comparator after rectification and filtering. Output of CA3080A is applied to upper CA3094A phase comparator that is receiving reference voltage from another CA3094A connected as ramp generator. Output of phase comparator triggers SCR in motor circuit. Amount of motor current is set by time du-ration of positive signal at pin 6, which in turn is determined by DC voltage applied to pin 3 of phase comparator by error detector. Circuit action serves to maintain constant motor speed at value determined by position of pot R. Input to ramp generator is pulsating DC voltage used to control rapid charging of C1 and slower discharging to form ramp.-E. M. Noll, Linear IC Principles, Experiments, and Projects, Howard W.
