TACHOMETER

Published:2009/7/10 3:34:00 Author:May

A standard shaft encoder's A and B ports generate square waves with the same frequency as the shaft turns. The phase of A will lead or lag that of B by 90°, depending on the direction of rotation. To obtain maximum resolution, the tachometer circuit must count every change of the state for the A and B signals. Each such change causes a change of state at IC1A's output, followed by a 1-μs negative pulse at the output of IC1C. These clock pulses' positive (trailing) edges cause the counter to count up or down, according to the direction of shaft rotation.You should set the R1C1 time constant, so that it is approximately twice that of the R2C2 product, to ensure adequate setup and hold times for the up/down signal with respect to the positive clock edges.IC1C supports this timing requirement by producing clock pulses of similar duration for either positive or negative transitions or IC1A.The exclusive-NOR logic of IC1B generates the correct polarity of the up/down signal when necessary, at the positive clock edges, by combining the A value with the B value just prior to a transition of A or B. C1 provides memory by sorting the B value voltage for about 2 μs. The maximum frequency for A or B is approximately (4R1C1)-1.   (View)

VARIABLE_STROBE_LIGHT

Published:2009/7/10 3:18:00 Author:May

In this strobe-light, two circuits are needed; one circuit charges a capacitor placing 320 Vdc between the cathode and anode of the flashtube. The other circuit provides bursts of approximately 4000 V to trigger the flashtube into conduction. The voltage-doubler works by summing two equal voltages in series, which results in a doubling of the voltage. The 4000 V needed to trigger the flashtube is provided by transformer T1-a voltage step-up transformer that develops 4000 V across its secondary coil when current flows in the primary coil. Silicon-controlled rectifier SCR1 controls the current flow in the primary coil of T1. When SCR1 conducts, current flows suddenly in the primary coil and 4000 Vac spikes appear across the secondary coil. For conduction, SCR1 needs a negative and positive voltage on the cathode and anode, respectively, and a positive voltage on the gate. It is the function of components R2, R3, C3, and NE1 to provide that positive gate voltage and turn on SCR1. Potentiometer R2, resistor R3, and capacitor C3 form an rc timing circuit. Control of charging time of C3 is accomplished by varying that resistance in the circuit.When the voltage on C3 reaches the firing voltage of the neon bulb, it causes NE1 to conduct, thus placing a positive voltage, from C3, on the gate of SCR1. The SCR now turns on and C3 discharges through SCR1 and the primary coil of T1. The 4000 V that is developed across the secondary coil of T1 fires the xenon tube, causing a bright flash. The whole process then repeats itself with C3 charging up, NE1 firing to short out SCR1, and T1 developing 4000 V to trigger the xenon flashtube.   (View)

Water_seepage_alarm

Published:2009/7/19 23:07:00 Author:Jessie

This LM3909 oscillator circuit can detect water seepage in darkrooms, laundry rooms,etc., and can be used on potentially damp floors with complete safety （because there is no connection to the power line）, Also,the standby battery drain of about 100μA yields a battery life that is close to shelf life. The circuit operates as a multivibrator，which starts at about 1 Hz and oscillates faster as more leakage passes across the sense electrodes.The sensor consists of two electrodes（6 or 8 inches long）spaced about 1／8″apart．Two strips of stainless steel on insulators，or the appropriate zig - zag path cut in the copper cladding of a PC board can be used The sensor should be built into the base of the box In which the circuits are packaged.The bare PC board between the copper-sensing areas should be coated with warm wax so that moisture on the floor（not the moisture absorbed by the board）is detected．The circuit and sensor can be tested by simply touching a damp finger to the electrode gap．National Semiconductor Linear Applications Handbook 1991，p400   (View)

Alternating_flasher

Published:2009/7/19 23:00:00 Author:Jessie

This LM3909 circuit is essentially a relaxation-type oscillator (chapter 5) that flashes two LEDs in sequence. With a 12-V supply, the repetition rate is about 2.5 kHz. Timing and storage capacitor C2 alternately charges through the upper LED and is discharged through the other LED by Q3 within the LM3909. If a red/green flasher is desired, the green LED should have its anode Of plus lead toward pin 5 (like the lower LED). A shorter, but higher, voltage pulse is available in this position.   (View)

A_continuous_15_V_indicator

Published:2009/7/19 22:58:00 Author:Jessie

This LM3909 circuit shows a continuously appearing indicator light that is powered by 1.5 V. Duty cycle and frequency of the current pulses to the LED are increased (from that of Fig. 12-43B) until the average energy supplied provides sufficient light. At frequencies above 2 kHz, even the fastest movement of the light source or the observer's head will not produce significant flicker. This indicator draws about 12 mA from the 1.5-V battery, and is not intended as a long-life system.   (View)

This LM3909 flasher circuit can be used as a variable-rate warning light, or for advertising or special effects. The rate control can adjust from no flashes to a continuous on. The miniature 1767 lamp can be flashed several times per second. As a toy, the flashing rate can be adjusted to mimic the strobes at rock concerts or the flicker of old-time movies. In a dark room, the flashes are almost fast enough to stop a person's motion. National Semiconductor Linear Applications Handbook 1991 p 397   (View)

Low_power_flashers

Published:2009/7/19 22:43:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit shows two simple flashers that use an LM3909. Figure 12-43B shows the internal circuit. Notice that the LM3909 requires only 1.5 V.However, 6 V is required when the LM3909 must drive a #47 lamp (or any similar load), instead of an LED.
