ADJUSTABLE_SIREN

Published:2009/7/22 1:06:00 Author:Jessie

Tone is made adjustable by using multiposition switch to change capacitors in oscillator circuit. Speed (rate of change in frequency) of siren is adjusted with R3. 4700-ohm resistor in series with R3 keeps siren op-erational when R3 is rotated to minimum-resistance position. Siren is operated by pressing switch to produce rising wail, then releasing switch until wail drops down to cutoff.-F. M. Mims, Transistor Projects, Vol.1, Radio Shack, Fort Worth, TX, 1977, 2nd Ed., p 58-63.   (View)

HEATER_ELEMENT_TEMPERATURE_CONTROLLER

Published:2009/7/6 21:40:00 Author:May

The circuit can control up to 6 kW of heating, with moderate gain,using a 25-amp triac(SC260D). Feedback is provided by the negative temperature co-efficient(NTC)thermistor,which is mounted adjacent to the environment being temperature controlled.The temperature set potentiometer is initially adjusted to the desired heating level.As the thermistor becomes heated by the load ,its resistance drops,phasing back the conduction angle of the triac,so the load voltage is reduced.The ST2 diac is used as a back-to-back ziner diode.Its negativeresistance region in its E-I characteristic Provides a degree of line vdtage stabilization. As the input line voltage increases,the diac triggers earlier in the cycle and, hence, the average charging voltage to the 0.1 μF capacitor,decreases.   (View)

FOUR_CHANNEL_COMPARATOR

Published:2009/7/6 21:40:00 Author:May

When operated as an open loop without compensation, the HA-2400 becomes a comparator with four selectable input channels. The clamping network at the compensation pin limits the output voltage to allow DTL or TTL digital circuits to be driven with a fanout of up to ten loads. The circuit can be used to compare several signals against each other or against fixed references; or a single signal can be compared against several references. A window comparator, which assures that a signal is within a voltage range, can be formed by monitoring the output polarity, while rapidly switching between two channels with different reference inputs and the same signal input.   (View)

WINDOW_COMPARATOR_1

Published:2009/7/6 21:39:00 Author:May

This window comparator generates an output pulse for each event that occurs within a specified window. That is, each output pulse signifies an input voltage pulse or level change that exceeds VREFLOW, but not VREFHIGH. The monostable multi ibrators, IC2A and IC2B, produce a 10-μS pulse at their Q output in response to a rising edge at their A input. Comparator IC1B produces a rising edge when the input exceeds VREFLOW, and comparator IC2A produces a rising edge when the input exceeds VREFHIGH. The NOR gates, IC3A and IC3B, form a bistable latch whose Q output, when low, disables IC4. IC4, unless disabled, produces output pulses in response to falling edges at the IC1B comparator output. You set the width of these pulses by selecting the value of C3. The circuit can handle an input waveform containing 0 to 2 V amplitudes and 10-Hz to 10-kHz frequency components.   (View)

Crystal_oven_control_circuit

Published:2009/7/22 0:33:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit combines an LT1005 multifunction regulator and a typical commercial crystal oven to prevent equipment use until oven temperature has stabilized (as is often required in precision test equipment). When power is applied, pin 6 of the crystal oven is high, which biases Q1 on. Simultaneously, the SCR gate is triggered by the current flowing through the 4.7-kΩ resistor (the 4.7-μF capacitor charge current). This turns the SCR on and allows the load (the LT1005 enable pin) to receive power. The 4.7-kΩ resistor eliminates false SCR triggering, and the diode suppresses reverse gate current when LT1005 input power is removed.   (View)

LOW_POWER_ZERO_VOLTAGE_SWITCH_TEMPERATURE_CONTROLLER

Published:2009/7/6 21:38:00 Author:May

The zero voltage switching technique is widely used to modulate heating and similartypes of ac loads where the time constant associated with the load(tens of seconds tominutes) is sufficiently long to allow smooth proportional modulation by time ratio control,usmg one complete cycle of the ac input voltage as the mlnlmum switching movementoDespite its attractions,the traditional triac-based ZVS is virtually unusable for the controlof very low power loads,especially from 220 volt ac inputs due to the triac's reluctanceto latch-on into the near-zero instantaneous currents that flow through it and the loadnear the ac voltage zero crossover point so The circuit side-steps the latching problem by employing a par of very sensitive low current reverse blocking thyristors(C106)connected in antiparallel;these are triggered by a simple thermistor modulated differential amplifier(Q1,Q2),with zero voltage logic furnished by an H11AA1 ac input optocoupleroWith the NTC thermistor TH calling for heat,transistor Q1 is cut off and Q2 is on,which would normally provide contmuous base drive to Q3,with consequent triggeing of either SCR,or of SCR 2 vla SCR1,depending on phasing of the ac input.Note that when the ac input voltage is positive with respect to SCR 2,SCR 1 isreverse biased and,in the presence of gate current from Q3,behaves as a remotebase transistor, whose output provides vla blocking diode CR1,positive gate triggercurrent for SCR 2.When the ac input polarity is reversed(SCR 1's anode positive),SCR 1 behaves as a direct fired conventional thyristoro Trigger current to SCR 1,however,is not continuous,even when TH is calling for heat and Q2 is delivering basecurrent to Q3．In this situation,Q3 is inhibited from conduction by the clamping actionof POI,an H11AA photocoupler,except during those brief instants when the ac input voltage is near zero and the coupler input diodes are deprived of current.Triggering of either SCR can occur Only at ac voltage crosslng points,and RFI-less operation resultsoThe proportional control feature is injected via the positive feedback action of capacitor CM,which converts the differential amplifier Q1,Q2 into a simple multivibrator,whose duty cycle vanes from one to 99 percent according to the resistance of TH.Zener diode 21 is operational,being preferred when maxlmum immunity from ac voltage induced temperature drift is desired.   (View)

DUAL_LIMIT_MICROVOLT_COMPARATOR

Published:2009/7/6 21:35:00 Author:May

When the upper or lower limit is exceeded, the LED lights up. Positive feedback to one of the nulling terminals creates 5 to 20 μV of hysteresis on both amplifiers. This feedback changes to offset voltage of the LT1002 by less than 5μV . Therefore, the basic accuracy of the comparator is limited only by the low offset voltage of the LT1002.   (View)

PRECISION，LINEARIZED_PLATINUM_RTD_SIGNAL_CONDITIONER

Published:2009/7/6 21:34:00 Author:May

The circuit provides complete, linearized signal conditioning for a platinum RTD.This LTC1043 based circuit is considerably simpler than instrumentation or multi-amplifier based designs, and will operate form a single 5 V supply. A1 serves as a voltage-controlled ground referred current source by differentially sensing the voltage across the 998 phm feedback resistor. The LTC1043 section which does this presents a single-ended signal to A1's negative input, closing a loop. The 2 k 0.1 μF combination sets amplifier roll-off well below the LTC1043's switching frequency and the configuration is stable. Because A1's loop forces a fixed voltage across the 887 ohm resistor, the current through Rp is constant. A1's operating point is primarily fixed by the 2.5 V LT1009 voltage reference.   (View)

Published:2009/7/22 0:05:00 Author:Jessie

Electronically programmed counter using the Intersil 8240/50/60 16-pin DIP. Two quad exclusive-NOR circuits with open-collector outputs are wired together to form an inexpensive digital comparator. A start pulse triggers the 8240/50/60 counter and sets the output flip-flop high. The digital comparator output goes high momentarily when A is equal to B. This resets the flip-flop, which in turn resets the counter. For extended temperature range or higher speed operation individual pull-up resistor may be required on the counter outputs (courtesy Intersil, Inc.).   (View)
