TOUCH_TONE_DIALER

Published:2009/7/14 21:34:00 Author:May

Single Motorola 4410 chip requires only two external components and 2-of-8 keyboard to generate two sine waves simultaneously for Touch-Tone dialing and telephone modem communication. Each key on keyboard grounds one of C inputs and one of R inputs. As example, when 6 key is pressed, R2 and C3 are grounded to give 770-Hz sine wave on pin 2 and 1477-Hz sine wave on pin 15. Designed for driving 1K load. Output voltage is about 600 mV P-P for low output and 800 mV P-P for high output.-D. Lancaster, CMOS Cook-book, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1977, p 132.   (View)

VIDEO_FADER

Published:2009/7/14 21:34:00 Author:May

The circuit shown here does an adequate job of allowing you to fade a video signal virtually down to the black level without losing sync on the monitor. The sync pulses are extracted from the composite video (CVBS signal) by op amp IC2 and its surrounding components. Components C2, R11, and D2 form a video-clamping circuit. Diode D3 provides a bias at the + input of IC2. Because of the rectifying action of D2, the op amp amplifies only the negative part of the CVBS signal. The clamping circuit in the feedback path of the AD847 (D5 to D8) prevents the op amp from going into saturation. The amplifier sync signal is digitized by a diode, D9, and a Schmitt-trigger gate, IC3d, before it is appied to the + input of one of the two fast op amps contained in the video fader IC, an LT1251.The sync level is set to the optimum level with the aid of preset P1. The LT1251 uses preset P2 to determine the level ratio between the sync channel and the video channel. The control voltage for the fader is derived from a reference voltage created by zener diode D1. The mixed output signal is available at pin 8 (dc-coupled), at an impedance of about 75Ω. Current consumption of the circuit is less than 30 mA. The indicated test voltages are applicable with no input signal applied to the circuit. The fader also reduces the level of the color burst. Consequently, the picture can go black and white just before the black level is reached.   (View)

CASSETTE_FILE_UPDATE

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

Interface circuit controls two tape decks for updating mailing lists or other sequential files stored on magnetic tape in audio cassettes. Two cassette tape recorders are required, one for input (reading files) and one for output (writing files). Micro-processor tape input and output circuits are connected to appropriate tape unit as shown. Only one cassette operates at any given time. Optocouplers prevent polarity or voltage problems between tape motor and microprocessor. Tape functions are under software control. Soft-ware delay of about is allows tape motor to come up to speed before recording starts. Records are in numerical or other logical sequence, so updating requires only one pass. On update, old cassette file is read into microprocessor for deletion, change, or addition of data, and corrected data is written on new cassette. Article covers use for maintaining Christmas card and other mailing lists, payroll records sequenced by Social Security number, and other sequential lists.-W. D. Smith, Fundamentals of Sequential File Processing, BYTE, Oct. 1977, p 114-116, 118, 120, 122, 124, and 126-127.   (View)

TEMPERATURE_COMPENSATED_MILLIVOLT_REFERENCE

Published:2009/7/14 4:44:00 Author:May

Two identical diodes are used to derive a temperature -compensated voltage across R2. Select two diodes of the same manufacture with, for example, 10-mV difference in forward drop at the same current. Then the output will be compensated because both diodes will very likely have the same temperature coefficient (they are of identical manufacture).   (View)

TEMPERATURE_MONITOR

Published:2009/7/14 4:41:00 Author:May

The temperature sensor is a resistor, R4, with negative temperature coefficient (NTC); the resistance of such a resistor drops when its temperature rises. Resistors R4 and R3 are part of a resistance bridge whose variable branch consists of R1, R2, and P1. The metering diagonal is connected to the inputs of comparator IC1a. The voltage at the inverting input of IC1a is set with P1 to a level that with normal temperatures is a little lower than that at the noninverting input. When the temperature rises, the resistance of R4 falls. This results in the comparator's changing state (to low), which causes the piezo buzzer to sound. Care should be taken to ensure that the voltage across the metering diagonal does not drop below 3.5 V to prevent the common-mode dynamic range of the LM393 from being exceeded. The NTC can be a 5- or a 10-kΩ type. It must be in good thermal con-tact with the heat source. Preset P1 must be set to a position where, after the part or device being monitored has attained normal operating temperature, the buzzer just does not sound. The buzzer must be a 5-V type.   (View)

PC_TEMPERATURE_INTERFACE

Published:2009/7/14 4:35:00 Author:May

This simple temperature interface covers a range of 0 to 51°C. Dual balanced 12-V supplies were used to power the prototype, but dual 5-V supplies should just about suffice. IC1 is the temperature sensor. Over this range of temperatures, the LM35CZ should work well. The output from IC1 feeds into a noninverting-mode amplifier based on IC2. The closed-loop voltage gain of the amplifier is set by resistors R1 and R2 and preset VR1. The latter is adjusted to give a voltage gain of 5. VR1 is given the correct setting by first subjecting the sensor to a temperature, which is equal to about 50 or 100 percent of the full-scale value (i.e., about 20 to 51°C.). In most cases, the room temperature will be about 20 to 25°C, which will suffice. An accurate thermometer is used to measure the room temperature, and then VR1 is adjusted for the appropriate reading. The following GW Basic or Q BASIC program reads the temperature sensor and prints the temperature on the screen:   (View)

LINEAR_READOUT_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/14 4:30:00 Author:May

Thermistors have found their way into a number of temperature-sensing applications. However, their resistance is a nonlinear function of temperature. In many applications, a digital readout of the thermistor also is desired. It is possible to produce a digital signal with a frequency that is linearly proportional to the temperature. The entire active portion of the circuitry can be implemented using 3/4 of an LM339. Comparator A is configured to operate as an op amp that generates voltage (Vt) which is inversely proportional to the thermistor's resistance, Rt. The voltage Vt is used as the thresh-old for the relation oscillator formed by comparators B and C. Comparator B monitors the voltage on the integrating capacitor (Vc). When it crosses Vt, it triggers the one-shot formed by comparator C via the signal Vtrig The output of comparator C resets the integrating capacitor for a duration, to, where to= (R2+3 kΩ)C2. Then the cycle begins again. The circuit achieves linear readout because the exponential nonlinearity of the thermistor is compensated by the exponential decay of the voltage in the relaxation oscillator.   (View)
