Freezer_alarm

Published:2009/7/24 2:50:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 13-30 This circuit shows a very simple configuration for a freezer alarm. Such circuits are used in industrial and home freezers as well as in refrigerated trucks and rail cars. The LTC1042 is a sampled-operation window comparator. The 10 MΩ/0.05μF combination sets a sample rate of 1 Hz, and the bridge values program the internal window comparator for the outputs shown. For normal freezer operation, pin 1 is high and pin 6 is low. Over-temperature reverses this state and can trigger an alarm. Circuit current consumption is about 80μA.

Battery_powered_wall_thermostat

Published:2009/7/24 2:49:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 13-29 This circuit shows a battery-powered thermostat using an LTC1041.Temperature is sensed using a thermistor connected in a bridge with a potentiometer to set the desired temperature. However, the bridge is not driven from the battery but from pin 7 on the LTC1041. Pin 7 is the pulsed power (Vpp) output and turns on only while the LTC is sampling the inputs, thus keeping average power drain extremely low. A lithium battery will run the circuit for at least 10 years. A 2N6660 power MOSFET in a diode bridge switches the conventional 26 Vac heater-control circuitry. The 2N6660 requires no current from the battery. Linear Technology Linear Applications Handbook 1990 p AN23-6.   (View)

UP_TO_1OO_kHz_WITH_322_TIMER

Published:2009/7/2 1:07:00 Author:May

Efficient LC oscillator uses IC timer as inverting comparator, with pinetwork LC tank as resonant circuit. Output square wave is regulated to 3 V in amplitude, independently of supply voltage; upper supply limit should be 40 V instead of value shown. Sine-wave output of oscillator may also be used extemally by adding single-supply opamp as buffer. Values shown give 10 kHz, but upper limit is 100 kHz.-W. G. Jung, Take a Fresh Look at New IC Timer Applications, EDN Magazine, March 20, 1977, p 127-135.   (View)

PULSE_WIDTH_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/2 0:24:00 Author:May

DC input voltage controls width of rectangular output pulse of opamp operating as free-running multivibrator, by injecting additional current into phase-inverting input of opamp. This current serves to increase one timing period and decrease the other. Circuit also provides similarly controllable sawtooth output (at pin 2). Output circuit uses diode bridge and zener for symmetrically clamping output voltage limits of amplifier when this feature is required.-G. B. Clayton, Experiments with Operational Amplifiers, Wire-less World, May 1973, p 241-242.   (View)

DC_VARIABLE_SPEED_MOTOR_CONTROL_VIA_FIBEROPTICS

Published:2009/7/1 23:41:00 Author:May

Dc power can also be controlled via fiberoptics. The circuit provides an insulated speed control path for a small dc actuator motor (≤1/12hp). Control logic is a selfcontained module requiring about 300 mW at 12 V, which can be battery powered. The control module furnishes infrared pulses, at a rate of 160 Hz, with a duty cycle deter-mined by the position of the speed adjust potentiometer. The programmable unijunction multivibrator provides approximately 10 mA pulses to the GFOE1A1 at duty cycles adjustable over a range of 1% to 99%. The infrared pulses are detected by the GFOD1A1, amplified by the D39C1 pnp Darlington, and supplied to the power drive switch, which is connected in a Schmitt trigger configuration to supply the motor voltage pulses during the infrared pulses. Thus, the motor's average supply voltage is pulse width modulated to the desired speed, while its current is maintained between pulses by the A115F free-wheeling diode. The snubber network connected in parallel with the power switch minimizes peak power dissipation in the output transistor, and enhancing reliability. Larger hp motors can be driven by adding another stage of current gain, while longer fiber range lengths can be obtained with an amplifier transistor driving the GFOE1A1.   (View)

Thermocouple_cold_junction_compensation_grounded_thermocouple

Published:2009/7/24 3:06:00 Author:Jessie

Fig.13-39 This circuit is preferable to that of Fig．13-38, but it requires dualsupplies. To trim, short out the LM329B and adjust R5 so that VO(across R1)equals the Seebeck coefficient(in μV/℃)times the absolute temperature. Remove the short and adjust R4 so that VO, equals the thermocouple output voltage at ambient. This circuit requires good grounding because any ground differential will appear in series with the thermocouple output, National Semiconductor Linear Applications Handbook, 1991, p. 524.   (View)

High_temperature_thermometer_with_analog_and_digital_outputs

Published:2009/7/24 3:01:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 13-36 In this circuit, an LF347 is used to signal condition a platinum RTD and provide simultaneous analog and frequency outputs. These outputs are accurate to ±1℃ over a range of300 to 600℃ (572 to 1112°F). Although the circuit maintains linearity over a much wider range, the nonlinear response of the RTD mover wide range is the limiting factor, as shown in the graph of Fig. 13-36B. To calibrate the thermometer, substitute a high-quality decade box (General Radio 1432-KL) for the sensor. Alternately adjust the zero (300℃) and full-scale (600℃) potentiometers for the resistance values noted in Fig. 13-36B until the A2 output is calibrated (3 to 6 V). Then, adjust the 200-kΩ frequency trim so that the output frequency corresponds to the value at the A2 output (300 Hz at the frequency output for 3 V at the analog output).

Thermocouple_cold_junction_compensation_single_supply

Published:2009/7/24 3:05:00 Author:Jessie

Pig. 13-38 In this single-supply circuit, R3 and R4 divide down the 10-mV/°K output of the LM335 to match the Seebeck coefficient of the thermocouple. The LM329B and associated voltage divider provide a voltage to buck out the 0℃ output of the LM335. To calibrate, adjust R1 so that V1 (across R4) equals the thermocouple Seebeck coefficient (in μV/℃) times the ambient temperature in degrees Kelvin (note that absolute zero in the Kelvin scale -273.18℃). Then, adjust R, so thatV1- V2 (across R6) is equal to the thermocouple output voltage at the known ambient temperature. Note that the term ∞ is used to determine R4 and R6 is the Seebeck coefficient for the type of thermocouple selected (types J, T, K, or S).

SPEED_ALARM

Published:2009/7/1 21:39:00 Author:May

Frequency detector using two IC timers provides alarm output when input frequency is greater than reference frequency, corresponding to overspeed. Calibrated mono MVBR A1 produces fixed-width positive pulse across R2, with average voltage of pulse varying linearly with input pulse train frequency. ComparatorA2 changes states when integrated output of R3-C1 on pin 5 goes above or below 2-V voltage threshold of A2. With values shown, desired frequency is 1 kHz and circuR detects frequency variation of less than 1%. If low-frequency alarm is desired, connect logic input pin 2 of A2 to reference voltage (pin 4) instead of to ground.-W. G. Jung, IC Timer Cookbook, Howard W.

Proportional_temperature_controller_1

Published:2009/7/24 3:03:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 13-37 This circuit provides proportional temperature control with optical isolation and synchronized zero crossing. Proportional control is provided by an LM122 timer, although the timing function is not used. Instead, the trigger terminal is held high and the LM122 is used as a high-gain comparator with a built-in reference. R2 sets the temperature to be controlled by R1. R5 and R7 set the width of proportioning band and can be scaled as necessary to alter the band width (larger resistors made the band narrower). The values shown give about a 1℃ band. R4 and C1 set the proportioning frequency, which is about 1 Hz with the values shown. R12, R13, and D2 produce the synchronized zero-crossing feature by preventing Q1 from turning off after the voltage across Q2 has climbed above 2.5 V. Any unregulated supply between 6 and 15 V is satisfactory. National Semiconductor Linear Applications Handbook 1991 p 337.   (View)

Electronic_thermometer

Published:2009/7/24 3:11:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 13-42 This very simple circuit is an electronic thermometer using an inexpensive silicon transistor (2N2222) as the temperature sensor or probe. The circuit provides better than 1℃ accuracy over a 100℃ range. An LM113 diode regulates the input voltage to 1.2 V. The 1.2 \/ is applied through R2 to set the operating current of the temperature-sensing 2N2222. R4 biases the amplifier output for zero output at 0℃, while feedback resistor R5 calibrates the output scale factor to 100 mV/℃. Once the output is zeroed, the scale factor does not change the zero.
