OPTOISOLATOR_AS_SCANNER

Published:2009/7/6 7:45:00 Author:May

Consists essentially of Texas Instruments TIL 139 source/sensor assembly and common 75140 line receiver. Applications include response to reflected or interrupted light. With 5-V supply, output is at standard TTL levels. To make sensitivity adjustable, insert 500-ohm pot between R1 and R2. To invert output polarity, connect pin 7 of 75140 to pin 3 and take output from pin 1.--W. Grenlund, Low-Cost Photo Scanner Yields High Performance, EDN Magazine, Nov. 20, 1976, p 320.   (View)

ISOLATED_THRESHOLD_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/6 7:43:00 Author:May

Standard photocoupler programmed with 150-ohm resistor R1 provides threshold switching function for separating high-level noise from switching-signal pulses as short as 10μs. Current-transfer ratio of phototransistor coupler is made practically zero at some arbitrary input current, and changed rapidly back to 10% or more at slightly higher level. Programming range for threshold value extends from 60 mA for 10 ohms at R1 to 3 mA for 400 ohms. Use of 2.7-megohm resistor R2 across base-emitter terminals of coupler reduces low-current gain of phototransistor. Noise currents up to 5 mA on sensing line are rejected while operating currents as low as 10 mA are accepted.-J. Cook, Photocoupler Makes an Isolated Threshold Switch, EDN Magazine, Oct. 5, 1974, p 72, 74, and 76.   (View)

BAR_CODE_SIGNAL_CONDITIONER

Published:2009/7/6 7:42:00 Author:May

Processes low-level signal from photodiode of bar-code scanner by converting its current output to volt-age in IC1 for further amplification in IC2. Amplified signal is routed to peak holding circuits that set reference level and to comparator that outputs 0 or 1 based on reference level established. Peak values of white level and black level are held long enough to read through coded bar pattern. Difference between peak values is divided by 2 and fed to one input of comparator, while amplified signal level goes to inverting input. If signal level is greater than reference level, comparator output is 0. If signal level is less than reference level (black bar), output is 1-F. L. Merkowitz, Signal Processing for 0p-tical Bar Code Scanning, BYTE, Dec, 1976, p 77-78 and 80-84.   (View)

400_VDC_SWITCH

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

Optically isolated photo-SCR serves for switching high-voltage DC. Turnoff of SCR occurs when Q3 in MCA2 photo-Darlington shunts load current through gate, bypassing gate-cathode junction within SCR. Circuit can be operated by pulsing appropriate LEDs to turn SCR on or off. Without input signal, inverter maintains current through LED of MCA2 to keep SCR clamped off.-G. C. Riddle, Opto-Isolators Switch High-Voltage DC Cur-rent, EDN Magazine, Feb. 5, 1975, p 54.   (View)

DIGITAL_ISOLATION

Published:2009/7/6 7:36:00 Author:May

Optical coupling provides complete electrical isolation between two digital circuits. Input signal as low as +4 V can make output change state, yet circuit safely handles input peaks up to +100 V without breakdown. Q1 and Q2 form current regulator that limits loop current through input of optoisolator to 7 mA. Zener CR2 provides reference voltage that defines current through R2. Schmitt trigger ST1 in output eliminates oscillations that OUTPUT could otherwise occur when slow-rise-time signal is applied to fast TTL circuits. Output changes state when input signal lights LED in optoisolator.-C. E. Mitchell, Optical Coupler and Level Shifter, EDN|EEE Magazine, Feb. 1, 1972, p 55.   (View)

Using a single chip LM324 can, with active R-C networks, reduce the size of a 3-phase waveform generator, and prove useful in compact and stable 3-phase inverters. One quarter of an LM324 is used as a Wien bridge oscillator generating a pure sinusoidal waveform while the remaining parts of the LM324 are used as three 120° fixed phase shifters.Initially potentiometer R3 should be varied to adjust the loop gain of the oscillator in order to start the oscillator.   (View)
