Optically_isolated_power_transistor

Published:2009/7/22 22:26:00 Author:Jessie

Optically_isolated_power_transistor
In this circuit, D1 and D2 can be part of almost any standard optocoupler or optoisolator. With no drive, R1 absorbs the base current of Q1, holding Q1 off. When power is applied to D1 (or to the LED of an optocoupler), D2 allows current to flow from the collector to base. Less than 20 μA is required from D2 to turn the LM1195 fully on。   (View)

TRANSISTOR_TESTER_WITH_SPEAKER

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

TRANSISTOR_TESTER_WITH_SPEAKER
Blocking-oscillator test circuit provides tone from speaker only when transistor is good (not open, shorted, or leaky). Runaway transistors con be detected by providing npn-pnp switch and reversing it to stop oscillation for a few seconds, then restoring correct position. If transistor then oscillates al different frequency or will not resume oscillation, it is a runaway.-L. G. Sands, Dynamic Testers For Transistors, Electronics, 33:8, p 66-67.   (View)

5_kHz_PHOTOCELL_OSCILLATOR

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

5_kHz_PHOTOCELL_OSCILLATOR
Provides 5-V pulses at about 5 kHz only if photocell is illuminated by its companion LED. Repetition rate varies with illumination, so interruption or attenuation of light produces easily detected frequency change that can be used as control signal. Applications include fail-safe interruption monitor and illumination transducer. Oscillation stops if beam is completely interrupted or if strong ambient light falls on photocell.-H. L. Hardy, FM Pulsed Photocell Is Foolproof, EDN Magazine, March 5, 1975, p 72.   (View)

SOUND_EFFECTS_GENERATOR_1

This circuit can generate a European police-car slren,bird nolses,spaceship sounds,etc.In addition,it can be put to use as a doorbell,an alarrm,etc.The circuit consists of four parts:a binary counter,a D/A converter,a VCO,and an audio output amplifier.The initial frequency of oscillation IS determined by potentiometer R11.The VCO firstoscillates at a relatively low frequency,and gradually picks up speed as the control voltage supplied by the D/A converter mcreases.The D/A converter IS the group of resistorsR1-R8.When none of IC1's outputs IS active,little current will flow into the base of Q1,so the VCO's control voltage will be low.As more and more counter outputs becomeactive,base current mcreases,and thereby so does the VCO's frequency of oscillation.The VCO itself IS composed of IC2-a,IC2-b,Q1,and the timing network comprising D1-D4,C1,R10,and R11.The buffer amplifier is made up of the four remammg gatesfrom IC2,all wired In parallel.   (View)

5_MHz_VFO

Published:2009/7/6 5:23:00 Author:May

5_MHz_VFO
Circuit Notes AJFET (Q1) serves as the oscillator. D2 helps to stabilize the transistor by limiting positive sinewave peaks and stabilizing the bias. Output from Q1 is supplied to a class A buffer, Q2. It operates as a broadband amplifter by means of T1, which is untuned. Output amplifter Q3 is also a class A stage. A low-pass, single-section ftlter is used at the output of Q3 to remove some of the harmonic currents generated within the system.The ftlter output impedance is 50 ohms. The injection level to the mixer is 600 mV p-p.   (View)

SINGLE_TONE_BURST_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/6 4:53:00 Author:May

SINGLE_TONE_BURST_GENERATOR
The tone burst generator supplies a tone for one-half second after the power supply is activated; its intended use is a communications network alert signal. Cessation of the tone is accomplished at the SCR, which shunts the timing capacitor C1 charge current when activated. The SCR is gated on when C2 charges up to the gate voltage which occurs in 0.5 seconds. Since only 70 μA are available for triggering, the SCR must be sensitive enough to trigger at this level. The triggering current can be increased, of course, by reducing R2 (and increasing C2 to keep the same time constant). If the tone duration must be constant under widely varying supply voltage conditions, the optional Zener diode regulator circuit can be added, along with the new value for R2 R2' = 82 kΩ. If the SCR is replaced by an can transistor, the tone can be switched on and off at will at the transistor base terminal.   (View)
