THREE_PHASE_SQUARE_WAVE_OUTPUT_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/6 19:56:00 Author:May

This circuit gives a 3 phase square-wave output for a variable speed motor drive.Operation is straightforward, the 4017 counter is synchronously reset after six clock inputs. The six outputs are combined to give the required waveforms. It is interesting to note that although NOR gates are shown, OR gates will give effectively the same result. The circuit can be extended as shown in Fig. 2 to give pseudo-sine waves if that is required, but that will diminish the simplicity of the circuit.   (View)

LINE_FREQUENCY_SQUARE_WAVE_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/6 19:55:00 Author:May

With only three components and a buffer, a line frequency square wave having a 1:1 duty cycle may be derived from the power supply. During the alternate half-cycle, however, A is effectively clamped to -0.7 V by Dl in the bridge which offsets the forward voltage across D2 giving an input to IC1 of approximately 0 V. When A rises above + 5 V, D2 is reverse biased and remains at +5 V. R1 is needed to load the transformer secondary maintaining a distortion-free waveform at A during the time the diode bridge is not conducting. C1 although not essential may be required to remove transients.   (View)

40_TO_43_MHz_VFO_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/22 3:59:00 Author:Jessie

This is a recent 4.0- to 4.3-MHz oscillator design by KGBSU. It seems likely that performance could be improved by increasing the value of C2=C3 and decreasing that of L1 to make the device a true Vacker oscillator. The following component information is recommended by KGBSU: C1 and C5, 800-pF polystyrene; C2, air trimmer for setting calibration, C3, air variable for main tuning; C4, 70-pF, NPO ceramic and silver mica to provide required temperature compensation; C7, 33-pF NPO ce-ramic; C6 and C8, 0.1-μF 25-Vmonolithic capacitor; TR1, 40673 or SK3050 dual-gate MOSFET; D1, 1N4153 or 1N914 silicon signal diode; L1, 16-μF, 34 turns #26 enameled on 3/4-in diameter ceramic form (no slug core), winding length 0.6 inch; all resistors 0.25 W, 5 percent.   (View)

PORTABLE_RF_BURST_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/6 9:04:00 Author:May

The circuit generates low-level rf bursts having frequencies as high as 10 MHz, thus permitting field testing of high frequency receivers. A jumper-selectable binary fraction (1/2 to 1/256 of the Y1 crystal frequency gates the output rf signal. Output amplitude (open circuit) is approximately 100 mV; output impedance is approximately 49Ω. The rf source is a clock oscillator based on a 3.58-MHz, color-burst crystal and two inverting buffers. The oscillator drives two cascaded 4-bit binary counters, IC2, and the sync signal resets the counters with a logic-high pulse-logic low at the counters. Select the desired output frequency by adding a jumper to one of the counter's eight output lines, which provides an enable signal for the two 3-state output buffers. The square-wave output at IC1, pin 11, is attenuated by R1, R2, and R3 to fix the output resistance at approximately 49Ω. Resistor R3 is the only critical component; for clean gating, isolate it from the rest of the circuit.   (View)

__PHASE_TRACKING_THREE_PHASE_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/6 7:27:00 Author:May

Using a single chip LM324 can, with active R-C networks, reduce the size of a 3-phase waveform generator, and prove useful in compact and stable 3-phase inverters. One quarter of an LM324 is used as a Wien bridge oscillator generating a pure sinusoidal waveform while the remaining parts of the LM324 are used as three 120° fixed phase shifters.Initially potentiometer R3 should be varied to adjust the loop gain of the oscillator in order to start the oscillator.   (View)

Fast_optically_isolated_transistor_or_switch

Published:2009/7/22 22:28:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit is similar to that of Fig. 9-54, but it has better ac response. The cathode of D2 is returned to a separate positive supply, rather than to the collector of Q1, which eliminates the added collector-to-base capacitance of D2. With this circuit, a 40-V 1-A load can be switched in 500 ns. Any photosensitive diode can be used for D2, instead of the optoisolator, to make a light-activated switch.   (View)
