Digital_sample_and_hold_circuit

Published:2009/7/21 23:06:00 Author:Jessie

Digital sample-and-hold circuit. When a strobe input is applied the 8240/8250 is first reset, then triggered through the small RC network at pin 11, which delays the strobe signal. The strobe also sets the flip-flop, which in turn enables the counter via pin 14. The op amp goes to the high state and begins to countdown at a rate set by the counter time base. When the op amp output reaches the analog input to be sampled the comparator switches, resetting the flip-flop and stops the count. The op amp output will accurately hold the sampled value until the next strobe pulse is applied. If the time base here is used the maximum acquisition time would be 256 (8240, 100 for the 8250) times 0.01 ms, or 2.6 ms (courtesy Intersil, Inc.).   (View)

Electronic_crowbar

Published:2009/7/21 23:02:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit provides positive protection of expensive electrical or electronic equipment against excessive supply voltage (resulting from improper switching, short circuits, failure of regulators, etc.). The circuit is used where it is economically desirable to shut down equipment, rather than allow the equipment to operate at excessive voltages. The circuit quickly places a short across the power lines (ac or dc), and thereby drops the voltage to the protected device to near zero and blows a fuse. With the values shown, the crowbar operating point (set point) can be adjusted over the range of 60 to 120 Vdc or 42 to 84 Vac. The values of R1 to R3 can be changed to cover different supply voltages, but the triac voltage rating must be greater than the highest operating point that is set by R2. Lamp II (with a voltage rating that is equal to the supply) can be used to check the set point and operation of the circuit, by opening the push-to-test switch and adjusting the input or set point to fire the SBS. An alarm unit such as the Mallory Sonalert can be connected across the fuse to provide an audible indication of crowbar action. Notice that this circuit cannot act on short, infrequent power-line transients.   (View)

PORTABLE_TOY_SIREN

Published:2009/7/22 1:09:00 Author:Jessie

Can be assembled in small box as toy for small child. If mercury switch is used for S1, siren comes on automatically when box is picked up. MVBR Q1-Q2 controls rate at which siren wails, while Q3 and Q4 form AF MVBR that produces actual siren sound with frequency varied by triangle waveform on C1. MVBR Q5-Q6 is mono that conducts for preset time period when S1 is dosed, for applying power to siren. Values shown give 12 s of operation before siren is shut off. When carried by child, siren is jostled enough so it keeps recycling.-J. H. Everhart, Super Siren, 73 Magazine, Feb. 1978, p 96-97.   (View)

Precision_elapsed_time_countdown_timers_using_an_Intersil_ICM7217B_28_pin_DIP

Published:2009/7/21 23:54:00 Author:Jessie

Precision elapsed time/countdown timers using an Intersil ICM7217B 28-pin DIP. This circuit also uses an ICM7213 precision 1-minute/1-second time-base generator to provide a 4.1943 MHz crystal oscillator and divider, generating pulses counted by the ICM7217B, which is a 5959-maximum-count device. The thumbwheel switches allow a starting time to be entered into the counter for a preset countdown type timer, and allow the register to be set for compare functions. For instance, to make a 24-hour clock with BCD output the register can be reset with 2400 and the equals output used to reset the counter (courtesy Intersil, Inc.).   (View)

Inexpensive_frequency_counter_tachometer

Published:2009/7/21 23:51:00 Author:Jessie

Inexpensive frequency counter/tachometer. This circuit uses a 556 dual timer to generate the gating, not-store and not-reset signals for a ICM7217 counter. One timer is an astable multivibrator using RA, RB and C to provide an output that is positive for approximately 1 second and negative for approximately 300 to 500 μs to serve as the gating signal. The system is calibrated by using a 5M pot for RA as a coarse control and a 1 K pot for RB as a fine control. The other timer is a one-shot multivibrator triggered by the negative-going edge of the gating. This output at pin 9 is inverted to serve as the store pulse and to hold not-reset high. When the one-shot times out and the store goes high, not-reset goes low, resetting the counter. The one-shot pulse width is approximately 50 μs with the components shown. When fine trimming with FIB care should be taken to keep the gating low time at least twice as long as the one-shot pulse width (courtesy Intersil, Inc.).   (View)

8-digit up/down counter using two cascaded ICM7217 28-pin DIPs. The NAND gate whether a digit is active since one of the two segments not-a or not-b is active on any unblanked number. The flip-flop is clocked by the LSB of the higher-order counter so if this digit is unblanked the Q output of the flip-flop goes high and turns on the NPN transistor, inhibiting leading zero blanking on the lower-order counter (courtesy Intersil, Inc.).   (View)

On_off_touch_switch

Published:2009/7/21 23:44:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit uses a CA3240E to sense small currents flowing between contact points on a touch plate, which consists of a PC board metalization grid. When the On plate is touched, current flows between the two halves of the grid, and causes a positive shift in the output voltage (pin 7) of the CA3240E. These positive transitions are fed into the CA3079, which is used as a latching circuit and zero-crossing triac driver. When pin7 of the CA3240 is positive, the triac and lamp are on. The opposite occurs when the Off plate is touched, and pin 1 of the CA3240 is positive.   (View)
