LOW_BATTERY_WARNING_DISCONNECTOR

Published:2009/7/6 5:59:00 Author:May

NiCad batteries are excellent rechargeable power sources for portable equipment, but care must be taken to ensure that the batteries are not damaged by overdischarge. Specifically, a NiCad battery should not be discharged to the point where the polarity of the cell is reversed and is reverse-charged by the higher-capacity cells. This reverse charging will dramatically reduce the life of a NiCad battery. This circuit both prevents reverse charging and also gives a low-battery warning. A typical low-battery warning voltage is 1 V per cell. Since a NiCad, 9-V battery is ordinarily made up of six cells with a nominal voltage of 7.2 V, a low-battery waming of 6 V is appropriate, with a small hysteresis of 100 mV. To prevent overdischarge of a battery, the load should be disconnected when the battery voltage is 1 V x (,N- 1), where N = number of cells. In this case, the low-battery load disconnect should occur at 5 V. Since the battery voltage will rise when the load is disconnected, 800 mV of hysteresis is used to prevent repeated on-off cycling.   (View)

BASIC_COLOR_ORGAN

Published:2009/7/6 5:58:00 Author:May

Transformer T1 can be any matching transistor type in the range of 500/500 to 2500/2500 ohms. No connections from the SCR or its components are connected to ground. For safety's sake, keep the 117-V line voltage from the amplifier connections-that is the reason for using T1. To adjust, set potentiometer R1 off and adjust the amplifier volume control for a normal listening level. Then adjust the potentiometer until the lamp starts to throb in step with the beat.   (View)

LOW_BATTERY_PROTECTOR

Published:2009/7/6 5:58:00 Author:May

To prevent battery damage due to over-dis-charge, a low-voltage detector and switch should be included in the design of the battery backup circuit.The detector circuit should consume extremely low current. The switch should exhibit a low-voltage drop and be easy to control. R1 and D2 provide a trickle charge for the battery. Chosen for its low forward voltage drop, Schottky diode D3 prevents forward polarization of the diode incorporated in Q1. When the battery voltage is above approximately 8 V, the output of U1 is low and Q1 is turned on. If the battery voltage falls below 8 V, the output of U1 increases and turns off Q1.   (View)

__VOX_BOX

Published:2009/7/6 5:55:00 Author:May

The electronic circuit in the VOX Box consists of three parts: a microphone preamplifier, a Schmitt trigger, and a relay driver. Input signals (MIC INPUT terminals) to the microphone preamplifier (U1) are amplified and fed to a THRESHOLD control (R8). When the preselected threshold voltage level is exceeded, the output of the Schmitt trigger (U2) immediately goes high. The signal from U2 is rectified and the voltage developed across C7 turns on the relay energizer transistor (Q1). That transistor action passes pull-down current through the coil of relay K1. The changing of the relay SPDT contacts can be used to either make or break an external ac or dc circuit.   (View)

SOUND_ACTIVATED_ac_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/6 5:54:00 Author:May

The circuit uses a 741 op amp operating as an inverting amplifier to amplify the voltage produced by an 8-ohm speaker used to detect any sounds. The feedback resistor R3, a 1-megohm potentiometer used to vary the gain of the amplifier determines the sensitivity of the circuit. When S1 is closed in the (SET) position and a sound is applied to the speaker, SCR1 is tumed on. It will remain in conduction until the anode voltage is removed by opening S1, putting it in its RESET position. (Once an SCR is turned on, the gate or trigger has no control over the circuit.) As long as the SCR conducts,the Triac, TR1, will remain on and supply voltage to the logd.   (View)

MAGNETIC_PICKUP_PREAMP

Published:2009/7/6 5:50:00 Author:May

Circuit uses type 747 dual opamp, but individual 741 opamps may be used instead. Input signal is first amplified flat, after which equalization acts on both signal and noise to give improved S/N ratio. Adjust first opamp for gain of 13. Series feedback is used to minimize noise since impedance of magnetic pickup is low compared to opamp input impedance. Second opamp has frequency-dependent series feedback for RIAA compensation. Gain here is unity at 1 kHz. Out-put is about 70 mV for modern pickup having output of about 5 mV.-B. S. Wolfenden, Magnetic Pick-Up Preamplifier, Wireless World, Sept. 1976, p 81-82.   (View)

NICAD_BATTERY_ANALYZER

Published:2009/7/6 5:50:00 Author:May

Because NiCad batteries maintain a constant output voltage, it is difficult to determine how much of the battery's charge remains. The circuit provides a way of determining the capacity of a battery by draining it at a preset current to its depleted voltage of 1 V/cell. Measure the discharge time of the cells and perform a simple calculation to obtain the battery's capacity. Set the drain current(ID) to 0.5C (C = battery capacity in mA/hr) by selecting an appropriate value for R4. Choose R5 such that: ID x R5 = 1 V. VREF is set so the comparator turns off the drain current and timer when the battery reaches its depleted voltage, VB (usually 1 V/cell). You calculate VREF as follows: With the battery in place, activate the circuit by grounding VREF with the momentary switch. The battery drains at ID until it reachesVB, turning off the drain circuit and the timer. Hysteresis keeps the circuit from restarting. Determine the battery's capacity using the following equation: The circuit shown tests 4.8 V, 180 mA/hr batteries. ID is 100 mA and VB is 4 V.   (View)
