PULSE_GENERATION_BY_INTERRUPTING_A_LIGHT_BEAM

Published:2009/6/24 22:27:00 Author:May

This circuit puts out a pulse when an object on the conveyor belt blocks the light source. The light source keeps the phototran-istor turned on. This produces a high-logic-level voltage at the Schmitt-trigger inverter and a TTL-compatible low logic level at pin 5 of the monostable. When an object blocks the light, TIL81 turns off the Schmitt-trigger inverter to triggers the one shot.   (View)

DIGITAL_SINE_WAVE_GENERATOR

Published:2009/6/24 22:26:00 Author:May

The sine-wave generator starts with an 8-MHz signal and divides it by eight to obtain 1 MHz at C1 (IC1's 2-MHz and 500-kHz outputs can serve as alternate drive signals). Qllevel-shifts the 1-MHz pulses so that they can drive the bipolar circuitry necessary for producing a bipolar output. Syn-chronous counter IC2 divides 1 MHz by 256 to give the desired output frequency (3906 Hz), and IC3 filters the harmonic frequencies.The filter's clock is taken from the first divide-by-2 tap of IC2 to assure a 50% duty cycle. IC2 fur-ther divides this signal by 128 to ensure that the filter's input signal (1 MHz/256) falls within the flat portion of the filter response.The output of the switched-capacitor filter resembles a sampled sine wave. It can be smoothed by building a first- or second-order low-pass filter around the otherwise uncommitted output op amp.   (View)

OP_AMP_SAWTOOTH_GENERATOR

Published:2009/6/24 22:25:00 Author:May

The sawtooth generator circuit shown is reset at the end of each cycle. The result is a constant peak-to-peak output throughout the circuit's frequency range.The constant-current generator circuit, the voltage-follower circuit, and the comparator circuit produce the waveform. A 555 timer IC (U2) is configured as a one-shot multivibrator that's triggered by the comparator's negative output pulse.   (View)

SIMPLE_TRIANGLE_WAVEFORM_GENERATOR

Published:2009/6/24 22:19:00 Author:May

The circuit is a triangle waveform-generator circuit that uses as few parts as possible. A 555 timer IC, two resistors, and two capacitors make the triangle waveform. The IC is connected in a 50% duty-cycle astable square-wave oscillator circuit. The square-wave output is fed from pin 3 of the IC to an RC shaping circuit.When the 555's square-wave output goes high, C2 begins to charge through R2 and the voltage across C2 increases as long as the output remains high. When the IC's output goes low again, C2 be-gins to discharge through R2 reducing the voltage across C2 as long as the output remains low. The resulting waveform across C2 takes the shape of a triangle. The best waveform linearity is obtained when R2 and C2 are made as large as possible. With the component values shown, the peak-to-peak output is 0.5 V at a frequency of about 200 Hz.   (View)

VOLTAGE_CONTROLLED_TWO_PHASE_OSCILLATOR

Published:2009/6/24 22:00:00 Author:May

This circuit uses two multipliers for integration-with-contro llable-time -constants in a feedback loop. R2 and R5 will be recognized in the AD534 voltage-to-current configuration; the currents are integrated in C1 and C3, and the voltages they develop are connected at high impedance in proper polarity to the X inputs of the next AD534. The frequency-control input, EY, varies the integrator gains, with a sensitivity of 100 Hz/V, and frequency error typically less than 0.1% of full scale from 0.1V to 10V (10 Hz to 1 kHz). C2 (proportional to C1 and C3), R3, R4 provide regenerative darnp-ing to start and maintain oscillation. Z1 and Z2 stabilize the amplitude at low distortion by degenera-tive damping above ±10V.   (View)
