STEREO_AUDIO_POWER_METER

Published:2009/7/10 20:43:00 Author:May

This circuit is used to meter the audio power output of an amplifier feeding a speaker. RY1 is actuated if excess power is fed to the speaker. Two channels are included for stereo applications. R1 and R2 and R3 form an attenuator. When a signal level is reached that produces a voltage across C1, comparator IC3A goes high, and IC4 and Q4produce enough drive to Q3 to trip relay 1, which cuts off the speakers. LED21 will light as well. In addition, IC1 reads the voltage across C1. IC1 is a bar-graph driver, which lights bar-graph display LED1 through LED10.   (View)

1_MHz_bandpass_filter_insertion_loss_tester

Published:2009/7/17 5:24:00 Author:Jessie

1 MHz bandpass filter insertion-loss tester. The test is performed by sweeping the amplitude of the input signal and comparing the envelopes of the input and output signals, The test signal is produced by modulating a 1 MHz sinusoidal carrier with a 10-volt 1 kHz ramp using a 429 multiplier. The test signal is demodulated by the diode-connected AD812A and network R1-R2-C1.The signal coming out of the filter under test is passed through an identical network consisting of AD812B, R3, R4 and C2. The AD521 compares the two demodulated outputs (courtesy Analog Devices, Inc.).   (View)

1__GHz_DIVIDE_BY_N_COUNTER

Published:2009/7/10 5:08:00 Author:May

Counter speeds for CMOS- and TTL-programmable counters are limited to under 100 MHz. ECLtype devices can approach a few hundred MHz, but with significant current requirements. However, coupling the dual-modulus-prescaling technique with the available phase-locked-loop synthesizer chips that control the prescaler circumvents these frequency and power-drain constraints. With this approach, designers can also choose various counter-programming schemes (serial, parallel, or data bus), in addition to achieving higher frequency capabilities. Low-power drain (less than 75 mW) and low-cost devices can also be selected. Moreover, only two ICs are necessary to achieve divide values above 131000. Maximum input frequency and dividing range for the counter are controlled by choosing an appropriate 8-pin dual-modulus prescaler. The counter's output appears at synthesizer pin FV (see the figure). The total input-to-output divide value is governed by the equation: NTOTAL=NxP+A N and A represent the value programmed through the serial port into the divide-by-JV and divide-by-A counters. P is the lower dual-modulus value that is established by the synthesizer's modulus-control signal. Typically, A varies from zero to P-1 to achieve steps within the system's divide range. N must be equal to or greater than A. N>A then sets a lower limit on jVTOTAL, which is dictated by AMAX=P-1.   (View)

DIVIDE_BY_ODD_NUMBER_COUNTER

Published:2009/7/10 4:55:00 Author:May

This circuit symmetrically divides an input by virtually any odd number. The circuit contains n+l/2 clocks twice to achieve the desired divisor. By selecting the proper n, which is the decoded output of the 74LS161 counter, you can obtain diisors from 3 to 31. This circuit divides by 25; you can obtain higher divisors by cascading additional LS161 counters. The counter and IC5A form the n+l/2 counter. Once the counter reaches the decoded counts, n, IC5A ticks off an additional 1/2 clock, which clears the counter and puts it in hold. Additionally, IC5A clocks IC5B, which changes the dock phasing through the X0R gate, IC1. The next edge of the input clocks IC5A, which reenables the counter to start counting for an additional n+l/2 cycles. Although the circuit has been tested at 16 MHz, a worst-case timing analysis reveals that the maxi-mum input frequency is between 7 and 8 MHz.   (View)
