DIGITAL_CONTROL_T0_100_kHz

Published:2009/7/2 7:30:00 Author:May

Schmitt trig-ger function of CD4093B IC gives oscillator op-eration over four decades of frequency without changing C. Basic frequency value is equal to kl RC, with k equal to 1.3 up to about 5 kHz and decreasing gradually to 1.0 at 100 kHz. Use of CD4016 quad transmission gate permits remote switching in of additional resistors to provide direct digital control of frequency. Arrangement shown gives choice of five unrelated frequen-cies, but binary selection of binary-weighted re-sistors witl give choice of 16 unrelated frequen-cies.-R.

Simple_differential_thermometer

Published:2009/7/24 2:16:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 13-12 This circuit produces an output voltage that is proportional to the temperature difference between the two LM34s. The difference amplifier sub-tracts the LM34 outputs from one another and then multiplies the difference by a factor of 10 to provide a single-ended output of 100 mV/°F of differential temperature.

Proportional_temperature_controller

Published:2009/7/24 2:16:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 13-11 Here, an LM10 serves as both a temperature-setting device and as a driver for the heating unit (an LM395 power transistor). The optional lamp, driven by an LP395, indicates if power is applied to the heater. When a change in temperature is desired, the user adjusts the 50-kΩ pot and the circuit makes the temperature transition with a minimum of overshoot or ringing. The circuit is calibrated by selection of R2, R3, and C2 for minimum overshoot. C2 eliminates dc offset errors. R1 and C1 are added to improve loop stability about the temperature-set point. For optimum performance, locate the temperature sensor LM34 as close as possible to the heater. This will minimize time lag between the heater and sensing. Long-term stability and repeatability are better than 0.5°F. National Semiconductor Linear Applications Handbook, 1991. p 1079   (View)

PWN_MOTOR_SPEED_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/2 5:15:00 Author:May

Speed control is accomplished by pulse width modulating the gates of two MGP20N45 TMOS devices. Therefore, motor speed is proportional to the pulse width of the incoming digital signal, which can be generated by a microprocessor or digital logic.The incoming signal is applied to comparator U1, then to paralleled inverters U2, U3, and U4 that drive the two TMOS devices, which, in turn, control power applied to the motor armature. Bridge rectifier Dl supplies fullwave power that is filtered by R5 and C1. Free-wheeling diode D3 (MR854) prevents high voltage across Q1 and Q2.A back-to-back zener diode, D2, protects against transients and high voltage surges.   (View)

AF_NOISE_LlMlTER_1

Published:2009/7/2 4:54:00 Author:May

Operation is similar to that of delay line. Voltage developed across voltage divider at output of 1N34 germanium diode is instantaneous, while DC voltage at output of circuit is delayed. If no pulses are present and 0.1-μF capacitor is not at ground, 1N914 silicon diode will have floating voltage. High positive pulses charge capacitor, and silicon diode shorts audio voltage. Negative pulses disable germanium diode directly. Circuit thus acts as noise blanker in both directions. Used in European communication receivers. Transistor type is not criticaL-U. L.

AUTO_FADE

Published:2009/7/2 4:30:00 Author:May

The automatic fader drops the level of the background music when the narration comes up. The control input goes through R10, a preset audio level control, to the input of an emitter-follower buffer stage (Q1). The buffer offers a high input impedance and makes sure that the source impedance is low enough to drive the rectifier and smoothing circuit, which consist of D1, D2, and C5. The smoothed output drives a simple LED circuit. R8 and LDR1 form an input attenuator across which the output is fed via C6 and C7 to the output jack. The output at the emitter of Q1 couples to this socket through C4 and R5. R5 and R7 are a passive mixer. With 200 mV or less at the input, there isn't sufficient voltage across C5 to make Q2 turn on. Over 200 mV, Q2 does turn on to a limit, and the LED gets power. That makes the LDR's resistance fall, and signal loss through the attenuator increases. Increase the input to 350 mV rms, and you get a signal reduction of better than 20 dB.   (View)

TIME_DELAY_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/2 4:30:00 Author:May

Oscillator connection shown for 555 timer provides delay for switching action controlled by logic input. When logic input is 0 V, timer output is low. When logic input goes high, output remains low for delayof 0.693RBC s and then switches high. Output remains high as long as input is high.-K.

POWER_UP_POWER_DOWN_RESET

Published:2009/7/2 4:26:00 Author:May

Output of circuit goes high at end of time interval RTUCTU, required for charging of CTU by applied 5-VDC inputsignal. When 5-V power fails, Q1, drives Q2, and Q3, off, making output low for time interval determined by RTDCTD. When CTD is discharged, output goes high again. Interruption of power thus produces negative-going pulse having variable width determined by values chosen for resistors and capacitors.-S.

AC_MOTOR_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/2 4:19:00 Author:May

The circuit illustrates feedback speed regulation of a standard ac induction motor, a function difficult to accomplish other than with a costly, generator type, precision tachometer. When the apertured disc attached to the motor shaft allows the light beam to cross the interrupter module, the programmable unijunction transistor, Q1, discharges capacitor, C1, into the much larger storage capacitor, C2. The voltage on C2 is a direct function of the rotational speed of the motor. Subsequently, this speed-related potential is compared against an adjustable reference voltage, V1, through the monolithic operational amplifier, A1, whose output, in turn, establishes a dc control input to the second P.U.T.(Q2). This latter device is synchronized to the ac supply frequency and furnishes trigger pulses in the conventional manner to the triac at a phase angle determined by the speed control, R1, and by the actual speed of the motor.   (View)

Differential_sensing_for_the_type_K_thermocouple

Published:2009/7/24 2:23:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 13-16 This circuit combines full-differential sensing and filtering for a type-K thermocouple. The circuit has 120-dB dc common-mode rejection if all signals remain within the LTC1043 supply-voltage range. The LTC switched-capacitor building block transfers charge between the input flying capacitor and the output capacitor. The LTC1043 commutating frequency, which is settable, controls the rate of charge (and hence the overall bandwidth). The differential inputs reject noise and common-mode voltages (within the LTC1043 supply range). Excursions outside these limits require protection networks, as shown in Fig. 13-16B. As in Fig. 13-15, the optional pull-down resistor permits negative readings. The 1-MΩ resistor provides a bias path for the LTC1043 floating inputs. Linear Technology.

Centigrade_thermometer_with_cold_junction_compensation

Published:2009/7/24 3:08:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 13-40 This circuit is an electronic thermometer with a 10 mV/℃ output from 0℃ to 1300℃. To trim, first short out the LM329B, the LM335 and the thermocouple. Measure and record the output voltage from A1 (this should be equal to the input offset voltage of A1 times the voltage gain). Remove the short from the thermocouple and apply a 50-mV input to A1 and adjust the 5-kΩ gain potentiometer until the A1 output voltage is 12.25 V above the previously recorded value. Short out the thermocouple again, but remove the short across the LM335. Adjust the 10-kΩ TC potentiometer so that the output voltage from A1 equals 10 mV/°K times the absolute temperature. Finally, remove the short across the LM329B and adjust the 10-kΩ zero potentiometer so that the A1 output voltage equals 10 mV/℃ times the ambient temperature in 0℃. The table of Fig. 13-40B shows the error resulting from thermocouple nonlinearity as a function of temperature. National Semiconductor Linear Applications Handbook 1991, p. 524, 525.   (View)

Thermistor_signal_conditioner_for_current_loops

Published:2009/7/24 2:48:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 13-28 This circuit shows a complete 2-wire thermistor temperature-transducer interface with a 4- to 20-mA output. The 4- to 20-mA current-loop control is common in industrial environments. The circuits used to modulate transducer data in a 4- to 20-mA loop must operate well below the 4-mA minimum current. Over a 0 to 100℃ range, accuracy is ±0.3℃ and the circuit is current-loop powered (no external supply is required). Trims shown are for 0℃ and 100℃, and are made by exposing the thermistors to those temperatures. The thermistor datasheets show methods for electrically simulating 0℃ and 100℃, Linear Technology Linear Applications Handbook, 1990 p AN23-5 .   (View)
