RIFLE

Published:2009/7/7 3:06:00 Author:May

Developed for use with General Instruments AY-3-8500-1 TV game chip to simulate target practice with rifle. Player aims at bright target spot moving randomly across TV screen.If gun is on target when trigger is pulled, phototransistor in barrel picks up light from target and generates pulse for producing sound effect of hit and incrementing player's score. PT-1 can be TIL64 or equivalent phototransistor, 4098 is dual mono, and 4011 is quad two-input NAND gate. Pulse outputs go to pins of game chip.Article gives all circuits but covers construction only in general terms.-S. Ciarcia, Hey, Look What My Daddy Built!, 73 Magazine, Oct. 1976, p 104-108.   (View)

TRIAC_STARTING_SWITCH_FOR_1_2_hp_MOTOR

Published:2009/7/7 3:04:00 Author:May

Triac replaces centrifugal switch normally used to control current through starting winding of single-phase induction motor. Value of R1 is chosen so triac turns on only when starting cur-rent exceeds 12A. When motor approaches nor-mal speed, running current drops to 8 A and triac blocks current through starting winding.- Circuit Applications for the Triac, Motorola, Phoenix, AZ, 1971,AN-466, p 8.   (View)

Ultralong_delay_timer_using_two_8250_16_pin_DIPs

Published:2009/7/21 22:14:00 Author:Jessie

Ultralong delay timer using two 8250 16-pin DIPs. The output is normally high when reset, and goes low upon application of a trigger input. It stays low for a duration of (100)2 or 10,000 cycles. Total timing cycle for the two 8250s can be programmed from TO = 1RC to TO = 9999RC in 10,000 discrete steps by selectively shorting any combination of pins 1 through 8 from both units to the output bus (courtesy Intersil, Inc.).   (View)

REVOLUTION_COUNTING_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/7 2:59:00 Author:May

When desired number of revolutions is reached by DC motor, as determined by preset counter, Tr1, is turned off to interrupt path to 5-V motor supply, while TR2 is turned on to brake motor rapidly. Voltage developed across 5-ohm resistor Rs, in series with motor contains frequency component related to speed of rotation and number of armature coils. This signal is amplified by CD4007 CMOS inverter for feeding to counters through signal-squaring inverters. Counter out-puts are decoded by gate 1. Motor slowdown by heavy loads does not affect accuracy of revolution-counting.-R. McGillivray, Motor Revolutions Control, Wireless World, Jan. 1977, p 76.   (View)

SHUNT_MODE_SPEED_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/7 2:52:00 Author:May

AC tachometer on shaft of DC motor sernves as input for National LM2917N-8 IC acting as shunt-mode regulator with LED indicator. Output of Darling-ton power transistor provides analog drive to motor. As motor speed approaches reference level set by values chosen for R1, C1, and C2, AC current to motor is proportionately reduced so TACH motor comes gradually up to speed and is maintained there without operating in switching mode . Advantage of this arrangement is absence of electric noise normally generated during switching-mode operation.- Linear Applications, Vol. 2, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA, 1976, AN-162 p 10-11.   (View)

DIGITAL_TEMPERATURE_MEASURING_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/7 2:50:00 Author:May

The output voltage of a thermocouple is converted into frequency measured by a digital frequency meter. The measuring set connected with Ni-NiCr thermocouple permits you to measure the temperatures within the range of 5℃ - 800℃ with ±1℃ error. The output thermocouple signal is proportional to the temperature difference between the hot junction and the thermostat kept at 0 ℃, it drives the voltage-to-frequency converter changing the analogue input signal into the output frequency with the conversion ratio adjusted in such a way, that the frequency is equal to the measured temperature in Celsius degrees, e.g., for350℃ the frequency value is 350 Hz.   (View)

TEMPERATURE_TO_FREQUENCY_CONVERTER

Published:2009/7/7 2:48:00 Author:May

A1's positive input is biased by the thermocouple. A1's output drives a crude V → F converter, comprised of the 74C04 inverters and associated components. Each V→F output pulse cduses a fixed quantity of charge to be dispensed into the 1 μF capacitor from the 100 pF capacitor via the LT1043 switch. The larger capacitor integrates the packets of charge, producing a dc voltage at A1's negative input. A1's output forces the V→F converter to run at whatever frequency is required to balance the amplifier's inputs. This feedback action eliminates drift and nonlinearities in the V→F converter as an error item and the output frequency is solely a function of the dc conditions at A1's inputs. The 3300 pF capacitor forms a dominant response pole at A1, stabilizing the loop.   (View)
