CASSETTE_DRIVE_CONTROLLER

Published:2009/7/7 2:08:00 Author:May

Used in high-quality stereo cassette deck operating from AC line or battery. Combines current source for cassette-retaining solenoid with speed control for drive motor. As motor turns, associated motor-driven pulse-generating switch keeps Tr1, conducting; this cuts off Tr2 and allows current to flow through Tr3 for energizing solenoid. When motor stops, pulse-generating switch also stops and Tr1 stops con-ducting. After 3-s delay determined by C2 and R5, Tr2 conducts and solenoid is deenergized, releasing cassette. In speed control circuit, Tr5 acts as constant-current source for motor, using feedback from its collector to base of Tr4 Back EMF developed by motor is applied to emitter of Tr4 reducing its forward bias and reducing current In the base of Tr5, so as to stabilize motor Article gives all other circuits of cassette deck and describes operation in detail.-J.

1_Hz_TO_100kHz_SQUARE_TRAINGLE

Published:2009/7/7 2:04:00 Author:May

Wid el range function generator built around LM111 comparator provides two different output waveforms whose frequency can be varied over five decades by R,, from 1 Hz to 100 kHz. Two transistor pairs are used to vary charging current of timing capacitor exponentially. Output current fromtransistor pairs is controlled by linear pot, so rotation of pot is proportional to log of output frequency.

Precision programmable timers using the Intersil 8240/8250 16-pin DIP. The timer is used in the monostable mode. The output is normally high and goes low to trigger an input. Components R and C at pin 13 determine the time cycle. The timing duration, TO is equal to NBC, where R and C are component values and N is a number between 1 and 255. Integer N is determined by the combination of pins 1 through 8 connected to the output bus. The 8250 can be programmed for numbers between 1 and 99. The numbers shown on the schematic adjacent to pin 1 through 8 are the respective N integers, with the upper ones for the 8240 and the lower ones for the 8250 (courtesy Intersil, Inc.).   (View)

Published:2009/7/7 1:45:00 Author:May

Adjustable-speed solid-state motor drive replaces governor in Kleinschmidt RTTY page printer, to give knob-controlled speed range of 60 to 100 WPM.Notched (33-slot) sheet-aluminum disk serving as pulse wheel is mounted on motor shaft and rotates in gap bemoan LED and phototransistor of GE H13A1 optical coupler to form motor-speed sensor or tachometer. Pulses from tachometer, squared by Q1, trigger mono MVBR Q2-Q3 which converts signal to constant-amplitude constant-width pulses having repetition rate proportional to motor speed. Opamp U1 forms three-pole Butterworth active filter that develops required average DC voltage from pulse train. Output current of U1 is compared to reference current derived from speed control circuit, for switching U2 sharply on and off as speed varies above and below desired value. U2 in turn switches motor on and off through H15A1 optical coupler and Q4 in gate circuit of triac. Second coupler isolates control circuit from AC line.-K. H.
