Crystal_oven_control_circuit

Published:2009/7/22 0:33:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit combines an LT1005 multifunction regulator and a typical commercial crystal oven to prevent equipment use until oven temperature has stabilized (as is often required in precision test equipment). When power is applied, pin 6 of the crystal oven is high, which biases Q1 on. Simultaneously, the SCR gate is triggered by the current flowing through the 4.7-kΩ resistor (the 4.7-μF capacitor charge current). This turns the SCR on and allows the load (the LT1005 enable pin) to receive power. The 4.7-kΩ resistor eliminates false SCR triggering, and the diode suppresses reverse gate current when LT1005 input power is removed.   (View)

LOW_POWER_ZERO_VOLTAGE_SWITCH_TEMPERATURE_CONTROLLER

Published:2009/7/6 21:38:00 Author:May

The zero voltage switching technique is widely used to modulate heating and similartypes of ac loads where the time constant associated with the load(tens of seconds tominutes) is sufficiently long to allow smooth proportional modulation by time ratio control,usmg one complete cycle of the ac input voltage as the mlnlmum switching movementoDespite its attractions,the traditional triac-based ZVS is virtually unusable for the controlof very low power loads,especially from 220 volt ac inputs due to the triac's reluctanceto latch-on into the near-zero instantaneous currents that flow through it and the loadnear the ac voltage zero crossover point so The circuit side-steps the latching problem by employing a par of very sensitive low current reverse blocking thyristors(C106)connected in antiparallel;these are triggered by a simple thermistor modulated differential amplifier(Q1,Q2),with zero voltage logic furnished by an H11AA1 ac input optocoupleroWith the NTC thermistor TH calling for heat,transistor Q1 is cut off and Q2 is on,which would normally provide contmuous base drive to Q3,with consequent triggeing of either SCR,or of SCR 2 vla SCR1,depending on phasing of the ac input.Note that when the ac input voltage is positive with respect to SCR 2,SCR 1 isreverse biased and,in the presence of gate current from Q3,behaves as a remotebase transistor, whose output provides vla blocking diode CR1,positive gate triggercurrent for SCR 2.When the ac input polarity is reversed(SCR 1's anode positive),SCR 1 behaves as a direct fired conventional thyristoro Trigger current to SCR 1,however,is not continuous,even when TH is calling for heat and Q2 is delivering basecurrent to Q3．In this situation,Q3 is inhibited from conduction by the clamping actionof POI,an H11AA photocoupler,except during those brief instants when the ac input voltage is near zero and the coupler input diodes are deprived of current.Triggering of either SCR can occur Only at ac voltage crosslng points,and RFI-less operation resultsoThe proportional control feature is injected via the positive feedback action of capacitor CM,which converts the differential amplifier Q1,Q2 into a simple multivibrator,whose duty cycle vanes from one to 99 percent according to the resistance of TH.Zener diode 21 is operational,being preferred when maxlmum immunity from ac voltage induced temperature drift is desired.   (View)

Overload_protected_motor_speed_controller

Published:2009/7/22 0:26:00 Author:Jessie

With this circuit, the tach signal is fed back and compared to a reference current, with the LM301A closing the control loop. The 0.47-μF capacitor provides stable compensation. Because the tach output is bipolar, the speed is controllable in both directions, with clean transitions through zero. The LT1010 thermal protection prevents device destruction in the event of mechanical overload or malfunction.   (View)

TWO_TONE_ALARM

Published:2009/7/6 21:07:00 Author:May

Provides audible backup for visual display in microprocessor-controlled system that requires human intervention under certain conditions, to alert operator who may be watching machinery rather than display. When input line goes high, device emits 1-s beep that means stop. When input goes low, 1-s lower-frequency boop sounds to indicate go. S1 represents signal derived from single-bit computer output. Audio bursts are generated by 555 timers, IC2 is wired as mono MVBR to determine tone duration, set by C4 and R11.Negative-going pulse on pin 2 triggers mono on. ff microprocessor circuit creates pulse rather than level change, input should go to pin 2. Tone frequency is set by C5, R13, and R14 of IC3. Trigger uses IC1A as inverting opamp and IC1B as noninverting opamp. Trigger outputs are differentiated to give negative-going spike for each input level change. Spikes are ORed by Dl and D2 for trigger input of IC2. Different tones are achieved by using IC1A to change input voltage to pin 5 of tone generator IC3. 0p-tional electrolytic capacitor across R24 will in-crease volume.-C. F.

TEMPERATURE_CONTROLLING_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/6 20:59:00 Author:May

The circuit switches the current to an electrical heater on and off to maintain the temperature of a room at 25 ±0.5℃. The temperature sensor is a thermistor which provides a differential input (for reduced noise) to an operational amplifier. A 5 kilohm potentiometer is used to adjust the set point through a voltage divider; a value of 2.17 kilohms yields the 25℃ setting. A second operational amplifier is connected as an inverting differential-input comparator. The output of operational amplifier 2 controls the electrical heater through a zero-crossing solid-state relay. A transistor/transistor-logic (TTL) gate adjusts the output to the proper level for the relay. A thermal switch is placed in series with the heater and the ac supply for safety in case of thermal runaway. A third operational amplifier monitors the output of the thermistor, providing a signal to a computer for data logging.   (View)
