555 Voltage-controlled Oscillator Circuit with its Duty Cycle Controlled by Vc Terminal

Published:2011/8/1 23:41:00 Author:Zoey | Keyword: 555 Voltage-controlled Oscillator Circuit, duty cycle , Vc terminal

Circuit of the multi-vibratorhas beenshown in thepicture 3-20, oscillator frequency and duty cycle of the vibratorare adjusted according to the level on pin 5, which is controlled by 555 controlling terminal Vc. A 555, R1, R2 and C1 together constitute an astable multi-vibrator. The controlling terminal can change the level it controlledthrough RP1,it also controls the voltage of comparator A1’s reverse terminal in the chip, adjusts comparator’s baseline voltage so as to change the turnover level of RS trigger and time constant of charge and discharge loop. As illustrated in picture(b), we can take advantage of the oscillation pulse , which is voltage-controlled, to adjust the voltage of duty cycle without changing oscillation frequency, or to transfer the pulse width, pulse position as well as the voltage. Concrete operation can be seen in 5-26, 5-27 and 5-31,etc in chapter 5.   (View)

Figures 1-14 and 1-15 show a typical application circuit and block diagram, respectively, for the MAX690. The IC is similar to that described for Fig. 1-M, but also includes watchdog and battery-backup protection, and has a 1.3-V threshold detector, as shown in Fig. 1-16. Use the equations shown in Fig. 1-M to calculate the values for the resistors at the PFI input (except use a threshold of 1.3 V, instead of 2.54 V).

AUTOMOBILE_IGNITION_SUBSTITUTE

Published:2009/7/6 2:14:00 Author:May

The ignition substitute provides a constant power source for the ignition coil. Its frequency, 0.5- 1.0 kHz, is that used by an 8-cylinder engine with an idling speed of 650 RPM, and the unit provides a rapid spark at a 17% duty cycle, while staying within the power dissipation limits of the components. The circuit consists of a 555 timer IC configured as an astable free-running multivibrator that is used to drive a high-current npn transistor, such as a 2N6384. The transistor should be heavily heatsinked because it might be drawing several amps over quite a long period of time. The coil ballast can be from 0.68 to 6.5Ω, depending on what's available. The 2.5-Ω, 20-W ballast shown works well. All the other resistors can be either 1/4- or 1/2-W devices, and the capacitor, between pins 1 and 5 of the 555, can range from 0.01 to 0.05 μF. Do not omit the 100-V, 0.05-μF capacitor across the transistor; it prevents voltage spikes from damaging the device. Although designed for an 8-cylinder engine, this device can be used with other types. In addition,a neon bulb can be added to the circuit to verify the presence of a spark.   (View)

RECEIVER_MONITOR

Published:2009/7/6 2:13:00 Author:May

Circuit Notes The alarm plugs into the earphone jack on a receiver. Then when a signal (normally fed to the headphones) is detected and applied to the gate of SCR1, it conducts, sounding whatever alarm is connected to SO1. The signaling device can be an audible alarm or a lamp. Variable resistor R1 functions as a sensitivity control so that background noises won't trigger the alarm.   (View)

Figures 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3 show the block diagram, pin configuration and pin description, respectively, for the MAX1232. The IC is similar to that described for Figs. 1-K and 1-L, except that only '/to power is consumed. Figures 1-4 and 1-5 show the basic connections and waveforms, respectively, for the pushbutton reset.Figures 1-6 and 1-7 show the basic connections and waveforms, respectively, for watchdog timing. Notice that the software routine that strobes ST is critical. The code must be in a section of software that executes frequently enough so that the time between toggles is less than the watchdog timeout period, as shown in Fig. 1-7. Figures 1-8 and 1-9 show the power-down and power-up slew rate, respectively.Figures 1-10 and 1-11 show the VCC-detect reset-output delays.
