HIGH_QUALITY_TONE_CONTROL

Published:2009/6/30 2:45:00 Author:May

The circuit is based on an inverting op amp using discrete transistors to overcome poor slew rate, fairly high distortion, and high noise problems. The output stage is driven by a con-stant current source, biased by a green LED to provide temperature compensation. With the controls flat, the unit provides unity gain so the stage can be switched in or out. The design is suitable for inputs between 100 mV and 1 V and provides a good overload margin at low distor-tion for the accurate reproduction of transients. The usual screening precautions against hum should be carried out.   (View)

MICROWAVE_DOPPLER_INTRUSION_ALARM

Published:2009/6/30 2:41:00 Author:May

Mullard CL8960 X-band Doppler radar module detects movement of remote target by monitoring Doppler shift in microwave radiation reflected from target. Module consists of Gunn oscillator cavity producing energy to be radiated, mounted alongside mixer cavity that combines reflected energy with sample of oscillator signal. Transmitted frequency is 10.7 GHz. Doppler change is about 31 Hz for relative velocity of 0.45 m/s (1 mph) of relative velocity between object and module, giving AF output for velocities up to 400 mph. Filtered AF is applied through diode pump to trigger of silicon controlled switch TR3 that makes contacts of reed relay open for about 1 s.Relay action is repeated as long as intruder is in monitored area. Report covers circuit operation in detail.-J.E.Saw, Microwave Doppler Intruder Alarms. Mullard, London, 1976, Technical Information 36, TP1570, p 6.   (View)

The switch circuit of light remote control lamp(1)

Published:2011/6/30 21:46:00 Author:zj | Keyword: switch circuit, light remote control lamp(1), 9013

As the diagram shows,it is a switch circuit of light remote control lamp. The remote control can be electric torch or toy laser pointer. Both RL1 and RL2 use MG45 photoresistor.It requires that multiples between the light resistance and the dark resistance are the more the better.You should add shading tubes for them so as to eliminate the interference of environment light when producing. K should use the 12V work voltage. There are two small electromagnetic relays with conversion contacts,like JRX_13F,DC12V etc.   (View)

Published:2009/6/30 2:13:00 Author:May

LM567 tone decoder will respond to frequency between 700 and 1500 Hz, determined by setting of 10K pot.When input of 100 mVRMS at preset frequency arrives, output of IC goes low and energizes relay through transistor. Tone can be obtained from audio oscillator or telephone Touch-Tone pad. Relay contacts can be used to turn desired device on or off.-J. A.

TWO_OUADRANT_EXPONENTIAL_CONTROL

Published:2009/6/30 2:06:00 Author:May

Decibel-weighted control characteristic of Pre-cision Monolithics DAC-76 DIA converter matches natural Ioudness sensitMty of human ear, to provide much greater useful dynamic range for controlling audio Ievel. Control range can be either 72 or 78 dB, depending on pin connections used. 8-bit word control input can be interfaced with standard TTL-compatible microprocessor outputs. To avoid annoying output transients during large or rapid gain changes, use clickless attenuatoriamplifier (also given in application note）.-W.

LOW_CURRENT_INTRUDER_ALARM

Published:2009/6/30 2:05:00 Author:May

Use of programmable μA776 opamps reduces standby current of infrared alarm to 300 μA, permitting operation from small rechargeable cells. Detector is Mullard RPY86 that responds only to wavelengths above 6 μm, making it immune to sunlight and backgrounds intermittently illuminated by sun. Low-cost mirror is used instead of lens to concentrate infrared radiation on detector. Rd is chosen to make input to first opamp between 2 and 6 V. Circuit energizes alarm relay RL only when incident radiation is changed by movement of intruder in monhored space.- Ceramic Pyroelectric Infrared Detectors, Mullard, London, 1978, Technical Note 79, TP1664, p 8.   (View)

AUDIO_OPERATED_RELAY

Published:2009/6/30 2:05:00 Author:May

Addition of two general-purpose transistors to 555 timer gives audio-triggered relay that can be used for automatic recording of output of cttannel-monitorlng radio receiver or data from any audio link.Adjustable time delay R keeps control circuit actuated up to 5 s (determined by R and C) to avoid cycling relay during pauses in speech or dropouts in data. Q1 is NPN and Q2 is PNP. Attack time equals very short pullin time of 5-V reed relay K. Adjust 10K input pot just below point at which K pulls in when there is no audio input.-R.

WINDOW_FOIL_ALARM

Published:2009/6/30 2:03:00 Author:May

Combination of power-up mono MVBR and latch, using both sections of 556 timer, drives output line high when sensor circuit is opened at door or window switch or by breaking foil on glass. Once alarm is triggered, reclosing of sensor has no effect; S1 must be closed momentarily after restoring sensor circuit to tum alarm off. Circuit includes 22-s power-up delay that prevents triggering of alarm when it is first turned on.-W. G. Jung, IC Timer Cookbook, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1977, p 231-232.   (View)

MULTIPLEXED_BURGLAR_ALARM

Published:2009/6/30 1:54:00 Author:May

Multiplexing technique provides for detection of state of up to 10 sensors, with immediate identification and location of activated sensor. Only one pair of wires runs from control unit to paralleled remote sensor circuits, one of which is shown at upper right. Each sensor location uses different output from one to zero. Multiplexor circuit is based on 4017 decade counter having 10 individual outputs, to give signals in 10 time slots. Power supply rail is used to reset counter. Clock line is eliminated by switching supply line as square wave. Sensor indication line is eliminated by detecting power supply current drain. Control unit uses oscillator and shift register to generate clocking waveforms. 3900 quad opamp converts sensorline current to logic levels for clocking by master 4017 to control 10 out-put latches and display driver. Two consecutive sensor-open signals are required to activate alarm, minimizing false alarms by interference pulses.-R. J. Chance, Multiplexed Alarm, Wireless World, Nov 1978, p 73-74.   (View)

AUTOMATlC_LEVEL_CONTROL

Published:2009/6/30 1:48:00 Author:May

Uses Signetics NE570 or NE571 analog compandor to provide automatic level control for audio signal processing, to give constant high percentage modulation despite varying input levels. Optional resistor Rx varies threshold of level regulation. Widest range of gain control is obtained with Rx, open. When resistor value is Iowered, larger input signal is required for full output.Peak-level dipping with pair of reverse paralleled LEDs controls overshoots on speech by limiting RMS output to 2.2 V P-P. Ry regulates dipped amplitude.-W. G. Jung, Gain Control IC for Audio Signal Processing. Ham Radio, July 1977, p 47-53.   (View)
