SIMULTANEOUS_CURRENT_LIMITING

Published:2009/7/19 20:53:00 Author:Jessie

Limiting action of circuit depends on output current of positive regulator but acts simultaneously on both positive and negative outputs of National LM125 dual tracking regulator. Positive output current produces voltage drop across R1 that makesQ1conduct. When increase in current makes voltage drop across R2 equal negative current limit sense voltage, negative regulator will current-limit. Positive regulator closely follows negative output down to level of about 700 mV.Q2 turns off negative pass transistor during simultaneous current limiting. Output voltages are ±15V.- Linear Applications, Vol. 2, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA, 1976, AN-82, p 12-13.   (View)

External boost transistor is used with National LM340T-15 regulator to boost output current capability to 5A without affecting such features as short-circuit current limiting and thermal shutdown. Short-circuit current is held to 5,5A. Heatsink for Q1 should have at least 4 times capacity of heatsink for IC.- Linear Applications, Vol. 2, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA, 1976, AN-103,p3-4.   (View)

_15V_TRACKING__5V

Published:2009/7/17 4:42:00 Author:Jessie

LM104 negative regulator is used with inverting gain to give negative output voltage that is greater than positive reference voltage. Noninverting input is tied to divider R5-R6 between negative output and ground. Positive reference determines line regulation and temperature drift, with negative output tracking.-R. C.

CONTINUOUS_LOOP_PLAYBACK_DEVICE

Published:2009/7/17 4:02:00 Author:Jessie

This requires a prerecorded message to be preprogrammed in the ISD1020A. If you want a message to repeat over and over again, automatically, the circuit in the figure will do the trick. It uses the Operation mode to accomplish playback looping as long as the message starts at address 0 (the beginning of the memory) and does not require the full 20 seconds of analog storage. A message is first recorded into an ISD1020A using the Yack/Yack project, with all address bits tied low. Next, connect the circuit in the figure. Note that address bits A6 and A7 are tied high to enable the Operation mode. Bit A3 is also tied high to enable continuous repeat. With PD low, P/R high, and CB held low, the beginning message in the ISD1020A will repeat.   (View)

SOIL_MOISTURE_MONITOR

Published:2009/7/17 3:58:00 Author:Jessie

In the circuit, when R6 equals the value of the resistance of the soil between the two probes, the bridge circuit is in balance. To set up the circuit, bring the soil that you wish to monitor to the proper moisture level and insert the two probes into that soil. Then adjust R6, until the two LEDs are both off, or at least dim to the same level. The two LEDs serve as a null indicator. That is, LED2 is on when the ground resistance is higher than the preset resistance of R6, and LED1 is on when the ground resistance is lower than the preset value. When both LEDs go dark or dim to the same brilliance, the bridge circuit is in balance. At balance, R6 equals the ground resistance. The probes are two 6-inch by 1/16-inch round stainless-steel rods mounted about 1 inch apart in an insulated handle.   (View)

Is analogous to free-running capacitor-coupled mvbr. Frequency and output amplitude are both directly proportional to input voltage. Chief drawback is need to increase input voltage to get higher frequency, which in turn increases all winding voltages.-J.

FREQUENCY_PROBE

Published:2009/7/17 1:47:00 Author:Jessie

This design is a simplified 3 1/2-digit frequency counter with four ranges: 2000 Hz, 20.00 kHz, 200.0 kHz, and 2.000 MHz. An effort was made to miniaturize the circuit so that it would fit in a standard logic-probe-type case; the complete circuit was assembled on a perforated board cut down to 1×4 3/4 inches. The normal crystal time base with all its dividers was eliminated in favor of one eight-pin DIP: IC1, a TLC555 CMOS oscillator. It provides gate timings of 1000 ms, 100 ms, 10 ms, and 1 ms using R1, R2, C1, and C2 as the crucial timing components, Select C1 to be exactly 1/10 the value of C2. Calibration is done with trimmer potentiometer R5. Integrated circuit IC2 (an LM311) provides input conditioning for any waveform of ±0.9 to ±30 V, whether triangle, sine, or square wave. Integrated circuit IC4 (a CD4011 or 74C00) provides proper pulse delays to IC3, a 74C928 3 1/2-digit counter chip that directly drives a miniature 3 1/2- or 4-digit, common-cathode LED display. The digit drivers shown, Q2 to Q5 and R20 to R23, can be replaced with a single DIP package (such as a 7549, 75492, etc.). A 78 regulator, IC5, provides the +5 V for the circuit, and is mounted on the board with the other components. It can be driven externally via a standard ac wall adapter of 7 to 12 V at 30 mA, or from a 9-V battery. Be sure to bypass the supply pins on each IC with a 0.1-μF monolithic capacitor for noise-free performance. When accuracy is important, a crystal-controlled time base should be used.   (View)
