Published:2009/7/14 5:24:00 Author:May

Current greater than 3 amp flowing through 0.47-ohm resistor in emitter of current-switching transistor Q1 drops voltage on base of Q2, causing Q2, Q3, and Q4 to saturate. Q3 opens circuit immediately and keeps it open for duration of overload, For complete short-circuits, Q4 latches K2 to provide positive protection.-F. W.

VACUUM_TUBE_THEREMIN_VOLUME_CONTROL_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/14 4:53:00 Author:May

Gain is controlled by a variable negative grid bias in an audio amplifier stage. This oscillator produces a negative dc voltage by means of a rectifier. As a hand is brought up to the volume plate antenna, this loads the oscillator, reducing output and hence the negative dc output. This means increased gain for the controlled audio stage.   (View)

15_V_FROM_75_30V

Published:2009/7/14 4:36:00 Author:May

Switching regulator operation is independent of input voltage level. When power is applied, Q1 conducts and turns on Q2 and Q3 When linear rising current of Q1 exceeds upper threshold as sensed by R1, IC1 switches to low output state and turns off all three transistors. Voltage across L1 reverses, and current flows into C1 through D1 and D2. When this current as sensed by R2 falls below lower threshold, IC1 switches back to its high output state. This oscillating action continues until output voltage as sensed by IC2 rises above desired level, when IC2 switches to its low out-put state and holds IC1 low until output drops back below preset level to complete one cycle of oscillation.-A. Delagrange, Voltage Regulator Can Have Same Input and Output Level, EDN Magazine. Aug. 5, 1973, p 87 and 89.   (View)

Use of switching regulator for voltage conversion permits generation of higher output voltage along with polarity reversal. LM311 operates as free-running MVBR with low duty cycle.
