PHOTOFLASH_SUPPLY

Published:2009/7/14 4:23:00 Author:May

Flybcck or ringing choke oscillator is free-running when voltage on regulator capacitor C2 is less than zener voltage for reference diode D2, but converter action is halted when desired output voltage is reached. Circuit then periodically replaces charge lost by capacitor leakage.Energy conversion efficiency can therefore exceed 50% theoretical upper limit of most conventional photoflash circuits.-R. J.

V_F_CONVERTER

Published:2009/7/15 4:49:00 Author:Jessie

Can be used with any frequency counter. Only last three digits of display are read for voltage. VCO U22 runs at 1000 Hz when input is grounded and R3 is 56K. Counter is preset to 9000. For OV, count starts from 9000 and goes up to 10,000 on display, except that 1 at left overflows so reading is 0 V. If input is + 1 V, U22 goes upto 2000 Hz, appearing as 1000 on display. Voltage divider ahead of input is needed to divide full-scale voltages of 10, 100, and 1000 V down to basic 0-1 V range. Range switch is wired to place decimal in appropriate position. Use 2.7K for R2. DC voltages are in circles; upper value is for input probe of electronic voltmeter on +12 V, and lower value for input probe grounded. Terminal A goes to over range and reverse polarity indicators using 5558 dual opamp U23 and Archer (Radio Shack) 276-041 or equivalent LEDs. R4 and R5 depend on input-signal excursion range and exact value of sup-ply; start with 2700 ohms for R4 and 18K for R5.-J. Hall and C.

With 759 power opamp used as variable-output voltage regulator, output voltage can be varied over full range from zener maximum down to zero by varying voltage from zener. With 791 opamp, voltage can be adjusted down to 2 V. Since output voltage can be less than zener rating, simple boot- 68V strapping cannot be used.
