NEGATIVE_BUCK_REGULATOR

Published:2009/7/16 20:44:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit adopts a step-up (boost) dc-to-dc controller for use in a negative buck-regulator application. The supply voltage must be negative, and it must deliver 160 to 750 mA. Although the boost-regulator IC operates in a buck-regulator circuit, its standard connections enable proper control of Q1. The output voltage, however, must be inverted by an op amp for proper voltage feedback: The load is referred to the most positive supply rail instead of to 101's ground terminal, so the controller must increase its duty cycle as Vout (referred to that terminal) increases. The op amp there-fore inverts the feedback Signal and shifts it to match the 1.5-V threshold internal to IC1. IC1 is configured in its nonbootstrapped mode, which provides an adequate gate-drive signal (ground to -5.2 V) for the external MOSFET (Q1). With Vout set to -3 V and the output current ranging from 160 mA to above 700 mA, the circuit's conversion efficiency ranges from 84 percent to as high as 87.5 percent.   (View)

PROGRAMMABLE_CURRENT_SOURCE

Published:2009/7/13 0:04:00 Author:May

Constant-current Sources are required in many applications,particularly when it comes to battery charging in such applications,it is desirable that the output current be accurate,temperaturestable,and adjustable The controller also can be successfully employed as the control element in a low-cost linear current source.Output current is sensed by resistor R1,with the value selected so that 100 mV is full-scale The voltage across R1 is amplified by a factor of 10 and averaged across capacitor C4.AN internal transconductance error amplifier compares the voltage on pin 8 against the programming voltage at pin 7.The error-amplifier outputis present on pin 2 (Iout),and is level-shiftedby Q2 to control the PNP pass transistor Output current is programmed by adjusting the voltage across R5 (1 V full-scale).The LT1121 LDO regulator provides a 5-V,±1.5 percent reference voltage so that current can be accurately programmed by simply connecting different values for Rprog. The input voltage can range from +6 to +28 V, with output current changing less than 0.3 percent Properheat sinking must be provided for Q1, especially when operating with large input-to-output voltage differentials.Transistor Q3 and R4 limit the magnitude of Q1's base drive during dropout,preventing excessive dissipation in driver transistor Q2 using voltage regulator IC2, the constant-currentSource operates directly from the unregulated input voltage. Pulling IC2's shutdown ptn lowturns off VCC to the entire circuit,and limits the reverse current drawn from the output to less than 25μA.   (View)

PULSE_COUNTING_CIRCUIT_FOR_SHAFT_ENCODERS

Published:2009/7/16 20:11:00 Author:Jessie

The output pulses of an encoding circuit can be counted with a BCD up/down counter such as the 40192. A binary-coded-decimal (BCD) number is produced. The counters have separate up and down clock inputs. For example, as long as the COUNT input (pin 11) is high, the counter will increment one count for every positive edge at the CLOCK-UP input (pin 5), and decrement one count for every positive edge at the CLOCK-DOWN input (pin 4). Counters can be cascaded by connecting the BORROW output (pin 13) to the following CLOCK-DOWN input and the CARRY output (pin 12) to the following CLOCK-UP input.   (View)
