BASIC_FULL_BRIDGE_CONVERTER_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/16 22:55:00 Author:Jessie

Today, most switching power supplies rated for more than 500 W are variations on the full-bridge converter topology shown. This design has four transistors; because diagonally opposite transistors are on at the same time, each transistor must have an isolated base drive. Full-bridge converters are usually manufactured as enclosed modules for such applications as powering mainframe computers and supercomputers.   (View)

VSUBOUT_SUB__BOOSTER

Published:2009/7/16 22:53:00 Author:Jessie

Step-up dc-to-dc converters that operate from small input voltages often possess correspondingly low maximum breakdown voltages of 5 to 6 V. This limits the maximum output voltage available from such devices. However, by adding an autotransformer, the output voltage (Vout) can be doubled without exceeding the IC's breakdown voltage. A properly wound center-tapped inductor acts like a transformer with a 1 : 1 turns ratio. Combined with an IC that typically boosts single-cell inputs as high as 6 V, it produces a regulated 9-V output with no more than 4.5 V across the IC (Fig. 1). The circuit can be applied in smoke alarms as well as in other battery-operated equipment. It delivers an output of 30 mA at 9 V from a 1.1-V input, and as much as 90 mA at 9 V from a 1.5-V input. A similar circuit setup for two-cell inputs delivers 30 mA at 9 V from 1.6 V, and a current of 80 mA at 9 V from 3.6 V (Fig. 2).   (View)

50_300_V_VARIABLE_AT_100mA

Published:2009/7/16 22:51:00 Author:Jessie

Solid-state version of regulated high-voltage supply for tube circuit has ad adjustable current-limiting, instant turn-on, and long component life. Small variable autotransformer in primary circuit of high-voltage transformer is mechanically ganged to DC voltage-control pot connected to pin 8 of U1 to keep input-to-output voltage difference nearly constant. Differential voltage across Q1 never exceeds 100 V so power dissipation of Q1 is only 5W maximum. Regulator circuit is designed around Motorola MC1466L or MC1566L floating regulator powered by 25-V supply having no common connection to ground. Use 600-V rating for 0.33 μF from T3 to ground.-H.

5_V_SUPPLY

Published:2009/7/16 22:48:00 Author:Jessie

The inverter circuit substitutes a transformer with two matched windings for the usual inductor (see figure a), When IC1's internal switch turns off, the circuit impresses Vout plus a diode drop across each winding. With the reference connection properly chosen, as shown, the second (right-hand) winding can generate an additional supply voltage (-5 V, in this case). Vout (pin 8) is the feed-back connection. For stability, the regulated output (5 V, in this case) should have the heavier load. It usually does because the negative rail in most systems is only a bias supply. But if the system demands more load current from the -5-V output, the second winding should be reconnected to produce the 5-V output (see figure b). The transformer should have side-by-side bifilar windings for best coupling. The V- value (nominally -5 V) depends on load currents and the transformer turns ratio (which can deviate from 1:1). Loads of 5 to 50 mA at 5 V, for example cause a V- change of less than 300 mV-less than that expected from a charge pump. When unloaded, V- increases because of rectification of the ringing that occurs when D2 turns on.   (View)

SOLAR_POWERED_INSECT_CONTROLLER

Published:2009/7/16 22:48:00 Author:Jessie

The circuit for the solar-powered controller consists of a switching circuit, a pulsing circuit, and a high-voltage output circuit. The external power components are a 1- to 5-W solar panel and a 12-V motorcycle or camcorder battery. The output of the high-voltage ignition coil connects to a net-work of paralleled electrodes, called a grid, upon which flies land and are destroyed. Voltage input to the LM3909 LED-flasher/oscillat or (IC2) is kept at 6 to 9V by a LM317T voltage regulator (IC1).The exact voltage is not crucial as long as it is regulated. The LM3909 produces a series of pulses that are coupled to a 2N2222A transistor (Q1) to form a switching circuit. An output of positive pulses from IC2 to the 2N2222A transistor boosts the pulse current so that it closes a 5-V relay (RY1) for approximately 0.1 s at intervals of 1 to 2 s. Diode D1 shunts out high-voltage spikes produced by the switching voltage across the relay's coil. The switching circuit is turned off at night or during periods of heavy cloud cover by phototransistor Q3, whose internal resistance increases as the ambient light diminishes. This reduces the positive bias on Q1's base, causing the transistor to cut off. LED1 serves as a voltage-dropping device. Single-pole, single-throw relay RY1 provides brief pulses of the 12-V battery voltage to IC3, an NE755 timer that is wired as a free-running audio-frequency pulse generator. The pulses are amplified by a 2N3055 power amplifier transistor, Q2.The output of Q2 drives an automobile ignition coil, T1, to generate the high-voltage pulses for the external grid. The output voltage at the secondary winding of T1 is approximately 12,000Vp-p. The circuit is powered by a 12-V rechargeable lead-acid or nickel-cadmium battery. A 1-W or better solar panel of the type used to keep automobile batteries charged should be used to eliminate the need to recharge the battery frequently.   (View)
