VOLTAGE_LEVEL_LATCH

Published:2009/7/14 22:09:00 Author:Jessie

Circuit uses comparator to latch after input reaches predetermined threshold level. Output of IC1 then goes high and enables input of strobe Q2 to prevent output from going low. High level on reset input will turn off Q1, removing supply voltage from open collector output of IC1 and removing latch condition Comparator will operate on supplies ranging from single 5-V level to dual ±15V. – M.

LEVEL_INDICATOR

Published:2009/7/14 22:10:00 Author:Jessie

Visual indication of voltage level is achieved with two TIL203 LEDs, three resistors, and any opamp that can provide 15-mA output current. If input voltage momentarily or permanently exceeds most positive reference level, LED1 is switched on. If voltage falls below negative or least positive reference level, LED1 goes off and LED2 comes on. Article gives design equations for determining values of R1 and R2. For levels of +2 V to turn LED1 on and -1.2 V to turn LED2 on, both R1 and R2 are 10K.-E. J. Richter, Op Amp Makes Visual Level Indicator, EDN Magazine, May 5, 1974, p 73.   (View)

MICROPOWER_VOLTAGE_TO_FREQUENCY_CONVERTER

Published:2009/7/14 22:43:00 Author:Jessie

This voltage-to-frequency converter takes full advantage of the LTC1441's low power consumption under dynamic conditions. A 0- to 5-V input produces a 0- to 10-kHz output with 0.02 percent linearity, 60 ppm/°C drift, and 40 ppm/V supply rejection. Maximum current consumption is only 26μA, 100 times lower than that of currently available circuits. C1 switches a charge pump, composed of Q5, Q6, and the 100-pF capacitor, to maintain its negative input at 0 V. The LT1004s and associated components form a temperature- compensated reference for the charge pump. The 100-pF capacitor charges to a fixed voltage; hence, the repetition rate is the circuit's only degree of freedom to maintain feedback. Comparator C1 pumps uniform packets of charge to its negative input at a repetition rate precisely proportional to the input voltage-derived current.This action ensures that circuit output frequency is strictly and solely determined by the input volt-age. Start-up or input overdrive can cause the circuit's ac-coupled feedback to latch. If this occurs, C1's output goes low; C2, detecting this via the 2.7-MΩ/0.1-μF lag, goes high. This lifts C1's positive input and grounds the negative input with Q7, initiating normal circuit action.   (View)

LASER_MODULATION_WITH_CURRENT_SOURCE

Published:2009/7/14 11:56:00 Author:May

Because atmospheric turbulence can become bothersome, any low-frequency baseband intensity modulation will become corrupted over long distances. To overcome this limitation, the information must be frequency-modulated up to 200 kHz in this manner. To obtain a more desirable current modulator for subcarrier modulation, use a transistor as a variable-current source to vary the current through the laser. Here the quiescent operating current through the laser is set at 4.1 mA by a potentiometer in the base bias circuit. Assuming a 0.7-Vdc drop across the transistor base-emitter junction and a 1000-Ω resistor in the emitter lead, the quiescent bias voltage from base to ground is 4.8 Vdc. The input voltage must vary 1.4 V p-p to cause a ±0.7-mA current variation through the laser. To effect this, the modulation signal source must provide up to a 1.4-V p-p signal into the laser current modulator circuit.   (View)
