SEQUENTIAL_TIMER

Published:2009/6/29 2:07:00 Author:May

Many applications, such as computers, re-quire signals for initializing conditions during start-up. Other applications such as test equipment require activation of test signals in sequence. SE555/NE555 circuits may be connected to provide such sequential control. The timers may be used in various combinations of astable or monostable circuit connections, with or without modulation, for extremely flexible waveform control.   (View)

THUMBWHEEL_PROGRAMMABLE_INTERVAL_TIMER

Published:2009/6/29 2:06:00 Author:May

Switch programmable on/off or interval timer, has three relay-switched outputs. 0ut-put one is active for the duration of time 1, output two is active for the duration of time 2, and output three is active for the duration of both one and two. Timing data is input through 6 BCD-encoded thumbwheel switches. Three SPST switches inform the WD-55 to interpret this data as NNN seconds. NNN seconds, NNN minutes, or NNN hours. The LED display will show the time remaining and the countdown when operating. Since the data is input through switches, the display may be deleted. Also, since the timing information is read from switches, the data is nonvolatile and no battery backup is required.   (View)

REGULATOR_FOR_ALTERNATOR

Published:2009/6/28 23:09:00 Author:May

Simple and effective solid-state replaeement for auto voltage regulator can be used with altemator in almost any negative-ground system. Circuit acts as switch supplying either full or no voltage to field winding of altemator. When battery is below 13 V, zenel D1 does not conduct, Q1 is off, Q2 is on, and full battery voltage is applied to alternator field so it puts out full voltage to battery forcharging. When battery reaches 13.6 V, Q1 tums on, Q2 tums off, altemator output is reduced to zero, and battery gets no charging current. Corcuit can also be used with wind-drivent alternator systems.-P.S.Smith, $22 for a Regulator? Never!, 73 Magazine, Holifay issue 1976, p 103.   (View)

FIELD_STRENGTH_METER_2

Published:2009/6/28 23:07:00 Author:May

Developed for tuning all types of antennas, from mobile whips to four-element quads. Avoids shielding and other problems of switched T pads for calibrated attenuator by first detecting RF, then attenuating DC output. Technique has added advantage that circuit is no longer frequency-sensitive. To cover 13-24 MHz, L2 is 11 tums spaced out to about 1 inch, with 2 turns overtop for L1. D1 can be any diode such as 1N34. R1 serves as calibrated attenuator, with R2 in series giving 0-dB point at junction. Article covers construction and operation.-J.

Pulses from auto engine points or other pickoff are filtered before feed to 3130 CMOS opamp used as comparator to complete conditioning of input. Pulses are then fed through 4046 PLL to divide-by-N counter that is set for number of cylinders in engine (60 for four cylinders, 45 for six, and 30 for eight). Output frequency is then counted for 0.5 s to get engine or shah speed in rpm.-D. Lancaster, CMOS Cookbook, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1977, p 36-367.   (View)

RADIATED_FIELD_METER

Published:2009/6/28 22:31:00 Author:May

Gives quick check of overall transmitter performance, including antenna system. Meter can be 1 mA, but 0-200μA or 0-50μA will be more sensitive. The longer the reference antenna used, the greater will be the sensitivity of the meter. Keep lead lengths short. If measurements for various transmitter inputs are recorded when transmitter is work-hg properly, they can serve as guide for later troubleshooting.-E.
