POLICE_SIREN_USES_FLASHER

Published:2009/7/22 1:07:00 Author:Jessie

Low-drain circuit operating from 1.5-V cell uses National LM3909 flasher ICs to simulate whooper sounds of electronic sirens used on some city police cars and ambulances. Two flashers are required for generating required rapidly rising and falling modulating voltage. Transistor is connected as diode to force ramp generator of IC to have longer ON periods than OFF periods, raising average tone and making modulation seem more even.-P.

TRIODE_CLAMP_MODULATOR

Published:2009/7/22 1:02:00 Author:Jessie

Dual-triode performs chopper function. With 6.3 v rms carrier, output is linear to 2 v rms for d-c inputs up to 25 v. Null level is 100 my, but can be reduced by filtering. Long-time drift stability is excellent. Output signal is nor molly square-wave, but tuned circuit shown converts this to sinusoidal signal.-L.

Electronically_programmed_timer_using_an_Intersil_8240_50_60_16_pin_DIP

Published:2009/7/22 0:09:00 Author:Jessie

Electronically programmed timer using an Intersil 8240/50/60 16-pin DIP. This circuit uses a standard 54/74 series TTL 4-bit magnitude comparator to compare the digitally programmed input with the 8240/50/60 counter outputs. The greater, less-than and equal waveforms provide several outputs to choose from. An external start pulse triggers the timer and the A<B output is used as a reset (courtesy Intersil, Inc.).   (View)

Electronically_programmed_counter_using_the_Intersil_8240_50_60_16_pin_DIP

Published:2009/7/22 0:05:00 Author:Jessie

Electronically programmed counter using the Intersil 8240/50/60 16-pin DIP. Two quad exclusive-NOR circuits with open-collector outputs are wired together to form an inexpensive digital comparator. A start pulse triggers the 8240/50/60 counter and sets the output flip-flop high. The digital comparator output goes high momentarily when A is equal to B. This resets the flip-flop, which in turn resets the counter. For extended temperature range or higher speed operation individual pull-up resistor may be required on the counter outputs (courtesy Intersil, Inc.).   (View)

800_W_soft_start_light_dimmer

Published:2009/7/22 3:35:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit shows the basic UJT building block (Fig. 9-1), which is used in a light dimmer with soft-start operation that applies current to the light slowly enough to eliminate high surges (high inrush current). These current surges, found in most cold-filament light dimmers, shorten lamp life. With this circuit, the lamp is heated slowly by a gradually increasing voltage so that inrush current is kept to a minimum. R4 controls the charging rate of C2 and provides the means to control or dim the lamp.   (View)

R_C_COUPLED_BASE_MODULATION

Published:2009/7/22 1:17:00 Author:Jessie

Modulation signal is injected by using two resistors, volues of which are determined by available r-f drive power; higher power is needed for larger resistance values. Excellent linearization of waveform is obtained with Re from 10 to 30 ohms. Rb should be in range from 100 to 2,000 ohms, with 470 as good com promise value. Modulation of 100% is easily achieved for CB transmitter.-B. Rheinfelder, Modulation Techniques for Transistorized A-M Transmitters, EEE, 11:7, p 54-57.   (View)

High_wattage_lamp_control

Published:2009/7/22 3:21:00 Author:Jessie

Many high-wattage incandescent lamps suffer shortened lifetimes when switched on at ac line voltages other than zero. This is because a large inrush of current destroys the filament. A simple solution to this problem is to use an optoisolator and triac, as shown. The triac must be capable of handling the lamp current. The MOC3041 optoisolator can be controlled from a switch or some form of 5-V digital logic. The minimum value of R is determined by the maximum surge current rating of the MOC3041 (ITSM), where: Rmin(pk) /ITSE; With a 230-V line, and a 1.2-A ITSM for the MOC3041, the minimum value of R is: 340 V/1.2A =283 Ω.   (View)

Multiple_line_driver_buffer

Published:2009/7/23 21:11:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit shows a 9911 used as a driver for multiple lines, which allows a video signal to be routed to 5 (or more) individual directions. A typical application is an apartment building with a common cable system. Although the 9911 is capable of 500-mA drive at a± 10-V output voltage swing, this application usually does not require more than± 1 or±2 V (for a typical video system). This circuit can be inexpensive because only one voltage-follower/buffer and few external components are needed.   (View)

Video_system_remote_multiplexer_box

Published:2009/7/22 22:37:00 Author:Jessie

The heart of the remote multiplexer box in the single-coax video system (Fig. 3-14) is a combination 8-channel multiplexer and amplifier (IC1). C11couples the MUX baseband video output to the coax, and L1 decouples the video from dc power arriving on the same line. This power (about 30 mA at 10 V) supplies all circuitry in the multiplexer box. Channel-select signals generated at the interface box (11 pulse for channel 0, 8 pulses for channel7) pulse the 10-V supply to 8.8 V and back at a 10-Hz rate. Q1 and associated components in the remote multiplexor box convert these pulses to 5-V logic levels, which block the 4-bit counter IC2. In turn, IC2 selects the desired multiplexor channel. The first pulse of a burst selects channel 0. Subsequent pulses, arriving before the discharge of timeout network R13/C 13 advance IC2 by one count each. Thus, channel 0 appears almost instantly, and channel 1, when selected, appears near the end of a 0.8-s burst.   (View)
