MONO_WITH_NEGATIVE_RECOVERY_TIME

Published:2009/7/17 4:04:00 Author:Jessie

Will respond to input pulses occurring even before end of output pulse, which in effect gives negative recovery time. If circuit begins normal 1,000-microsec cycle and another trigger pulse arrives in 500 microsec, output pulse will last 1,500 microsec, or 500 microsec longer than usual. In other words, output pulse continues for 100 microsec after last trigger pulse. Input pulses should be of standardized voltage and long enough to discharge 0.01-mfd capacitor.-Monostable Circuit with Negative Recovery Time, Electronic Circuit Design Handbook, Mactier Pub. Corp., N.Y., 1965, p 72.   (View)

WATERING_CONTROL_WITH_RF_MOISTURE_SENSING

Published:2009/7/17 4:03:00 Author:Jessie

The moisture sensor does not depend on the ohmic resistance of the soil to activate the water valve. Instead, a VLF oscillator circuit with its tuned inductor buried In the soil senses the moisture content by absorption，Transistor Q2，L1，C3，and 04，make up a simple Hartley oscillator The circuit oscillates at about 16 kHz Transistor Q1，in an emitter-follower configuration，isolates the output circuit from loading or influencing the oscillator circuit Diodes D1 and D2 convert the RE Signal to dc to supply bias current for Q3，which operates the water－valve relay as long as the oscillator's output signal is sufficient to turn it on The oscillator,s sensitivity to varying soil conditions is set by R6，a 10-turn trimmer potentiometer The inductor，L1，consists of a 100-ft length of ＃26 plastic-covered wire wound in a 4-inch loop and kept together with electrical tape The loop is one area where much can be gained by experimenting，A pancake loop might be more sensitive or a different-shaped loop might work better,Also try different oscillator frequencies．   (View)

RECORD_PLAYBACK_CIRCUIT_WITH_AUTOMATIC_POWER_DOWN

Published:2009/7/17 4:03:00 Author:Jessie

Many applications for sound recording and reproduction, where battery power is necessary, require minimum power consumption. A circuit that achieves automatic power down in a record-and-play application is shown. The cross-coupled latch, consisting of a 4093 Schmitt trigger quad two-input NAND package (U2A and U2B), works to control the PD and CB pins for the Play mode. Circuitry for the Record mode consists of U2C and U2D plus several support components. To start the Record cycle, S2 supplies the ground to the microphone circuit and takes the input to U2D low. The Schmitt Trigger action of U2 debounces the logic input to the ISD1020A.   (View)

This circuit uses both sections of an XR-13600 (Fig. 11-1B) to form a logarithmic current source. The current can be used for IB (the bias current) in many OTA applications by providing a logarithmic current output for a linear voltage in.For example, the circuit can be used to bias the stereo volume control (Fig. 11-2) to provide temperature-independent stereo attenuation characteristics.

MOISTURE_DETECTOR

Published:2009/7/17 3:56:00 Author:Jessie

This simple circuit can save your house from water inundation. Also, it can save your electrical equipment from water damage. When raindrops fall on the water sensor, a small current flows, turning on Q1 and the buzzer. Alternatively, you could replace the buzzer with a relay to drive a pump. The water sensor can be made from an etched circuit board.   (View)

WATER_DETECTOR

Published:2009/7/17 3:54:00 Author:Jessie

The heart of the circuit is the LM1830 fluid detector. It contains all the circuitry needed to sense fluid levels and activate an external device (relay, etc). The IC generates an ac signal that is passed through two probes in the fluid. The IC's detector circuit senses the presence or absence of fluid by comparing the resistance between the probes with its internal reference resistance. When the probes detect the presence of water, the LM1830 will trigger Q1, and that in turn will trigger IC2 (an LM555), which starts a timing period. The output from pin 3 of IC2 closes the relay, and the bilge pump is activated for the duration of the timing period. The timing period is adjustable using R6, a 1-MΩ potentiometer. For the values shown, and depending on the setting of R6, the timing period is about 5 to 120 s. Components R4, D1, and C7 are tied to pin 4 of IC2 to hold the timer at RESET when power is first applied.   (View)

Voltage_reference_with_variable_TC

Published:2009/7/17 3:53:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit uses both sections of an XR-13600 (Fig. 11-1B) to form a voltage reference with variable temperature coefficient. The 100-kΩ potentiometer adjusts the output voltage, which has: 1) a positive TC above 1.2 V, 2) zero TC at about 1.2 V, and 3) a negative TC below 1.2V. This is done by balancing the TC of the A2 transfer function against the complementary TC of D1. EXRA Corporation Databook 1990,p 5-257   (View)

5_V_AT_3_A

Published:2009/7/17 3:52:00 Author:Jessie

National LM5000 voltage regulator having built-in overload protection is basis of small bench supply for TTL work. Filament transformer rated 12.6 V at 3 A feeds full-wave bridge rectifier rated 200 PIV at 6 A, such as Radio Shack 276-1172. U1 requires heatsink insulated from chassis. Output filter C3 should be mounted directly on regulator terminals to minimize circuit oscillation. Output should read within 100 mV of 5 V. Radio Shack 276-047 LED serves as output indicator. Use 0.22-μF bypass between pins 2 and 3 of U1.-K. Powell, The 5 x 3 Power Supply, QST, May 1977, p 25-26.   (View)
