POLARITY_INDICATOR

Published:2009/7/15 20:25:00 Author:Jessie

Q1 and Q2 at input should be Darlington transistors to minimize loading on input signal. With no input, current flows through R1D1 and R2D2 networks on alternate half-cycles, Positive signal at input 1 turns on Q1, shunting sum of current through D3 and lighting positive-indicating LED in diode bridge. Similarly, negative voltage on 1 turns on other LED. Supply requirement of 6.3 VAC can usually be obtained from digital multimeter with which indicator is used.-R. A. Snyder, Simple Polarity Indicator Suits DMM's or DPM's, EDN Magazine, Nov. 5, 1977, p 110.   (View)

ELECTROSCOPE

Published:2009/7/15 20:15:00 Author:Jessie

Gate of FET floats, being connected only to smooth metal rod tipped with polished brass ball. Rod is insulated from housing with polystyrene washer in large hole. Static drain current of FET is balanced out of meter with R2 when ball is clear of operator's body or other object. Meter deflection then is proportional to intensity of charge on body brought near ball and on separation. Electroscope will respond to vigorously stroked paper or just-used comb.-R. P. Turner, FET Circuits, Howard W. Sams, Indianapolis, IN, 1977, 2nd Ed., p 153-154.   (View)

SUBSCRIBER_LINE_INTERFACE_CIRCUIT_POWER_SUPPLY

Published:2009/7/14 3:15:00 Author:May

A new multiwinding transformer (configurable by the user for a variety of applications) enables an inverting controller to produce the high negative voltages required by an ISDN board or other telephone line card. Such line cards use a subscriber-line interface circuit (SLIC), such as the 79R79 ringing SLIC from AMD. This IC generates the off-hook and on-hook signal transmission, ring-tone generation, and ring-tip detection that constitute an analog telephone interface. For off-hook signal transmission, it requires a tightly regulated -24 or -48 V; to generate ring tones, it requires a loosely regulated -70 V. The five -ringer-equivalent requirement demands 9 to 10 W from the -70-V output, which translates to a full-load lout of about 150 mA. IC1 is an inverting switching regulator that usually converts a 3- to 16-V input to a fixed output of -5 V or an adjustable output. In the circuit shown, three pairs of windings in series (provided by a single off-the-shelf multiwinding transformer) enable IC1 to generate the high voltages needed by a SLIC IC1 (D1). Connecting a diode and output capacitors (C7 and C9) at the first or second pair of windings produces -24 V (as shown) or -48 V, respectively. Feedback to the IC via R1 and R2 achieves tight regulation at this output. The trans-former turns ratios establish a loose regulation at the -70-V output. The circuit can service a five telephone load (10 W) from an input of 12 V, ±10 percent. It operates down to 3 V and produces about 2.4 W at 3.3 V and 3.9 W at 5 V. The -70-V output depends on cross-regulation with respect to the -24-V output. It is, therefore, affected by relative loading on the two outputs (i.e., whether one is heavily loaded and the other lightly loaded, or vice versa).   (View)

11X_PULSE_STRETCHER

Published:2009/7/15 5:33:00 Author:Jessie

Provides negative output pulse width equal to positive input pulse multiplied by 1 + R4/R3, which is 11 for values shown. Output pulses are TTL-or DTL-compatible. Minimum output pulse width is 70 ns, and maximum is 1/11 of pulse repetition rate. Circuit consists of switched current source, switched current sink, integrating capacitor, and comparator. Q1 and Q2 act as switches for current sources Q3 and Q4, while C1 and C2 reduce turn-on and turnoff times of switches. CR1 and CR2 provide temperature compensation for Q3 and Q4. AND gate compensates for propagation delay in NOR gate, to ensure that current sink is switched on by trailing edge of input pulse. Add inverter if output must be same polarity as input.-F.

PHASE_INVERTER_FOR_CODE_CONVERTER

Published:2009/7/15 5:29:00 Author:Jessie

In addition to phase reversal of input signal, single npn transistor provides isolation between negative input pulse and core driver, which is Schmitt trigger having discrimimation level within 10% of -4.5 v including phase inverters. Signals below that level are disregarded. Signal range from 6 to 12 v will cause pulse output from Schmitt, with duration dependent on duration of input signal. When Schmitt trigger emits pulse, 1N704 driver supplies 30-ma current pulse, writing a ONE into ifs associated core.-R. Wasserman und W.

PREFERRED_PRF_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/15 5:26:00 Author:Jessie

Astable plate-to-grid coupled mvbr serves as moderately stable repetition-rate generator having greater frequency stability than blocking oscillator and fewer components than Wien-bridge oscillator. One drawback is that output impedance for positive pulses equals plate load resistance, which must be relatively high for good frequency stability. Output is 260 V for 5814A and 125 V for 6111. Maximum prf is 8,000 pps.-NBS, Handbook Preferred Circuits Navy Aeronautical Electronic Equipment, Vol. I, Electron Tube Circuits, 1963, PC 40, p 40-2.   (View)

Stacking of Precision Monolithics REF-02 5-V reference with two REF-01 10-V references gives outputs increasing in steps of 10.000 V from 5,000 V. Any number of additional references can be stacked in same way up to line-voltage limit of 130 V for references, provided total load current does not exceed about 21 mA. Input change from 21 to 55 V produces output change less than noise volt-age of devices in circuit shown.- +5 V Precision Voltage Reference/Thermometer, Precision Monolithics, Santa Clara, CA, 1978, REF-02, p7.   (View)
