ROAD_ICE_ALARM

Published:2009/7/3 3:27:00 Author:May

The circuit uses a thermistor and three sections of a LM3900 quad op amp IC. When the temperature drops to 36°F the LED indicator flashes about once each second. The flashing rate increases as temperature drops to 32°F when the LED remains on. Amplifier I compares the thermistor's resistance to the resistance of the standard network connected to its noninverting input. Its output-fed to the noninverting input of op amp III-varies with temperature. Op amp II is a free-running multivibrator feeding a pulse signal of about 1 Hz to the inverting input of op amp III. This amplifier compares the outputs of op amps I and II and turns on the LED when the multi-vibrator's output level drops below op amp I. The monitor is calibrated by placing the thermistor in a mixture of crushed ice and water and adjusting the 20 kΩ pot so the LED stays on.   (View)

MOSFET_RF_STAGE_

Published:2009/7/3 3:26:00 Author:May

Changing 6AK5 tube to 3N2O4 dual-gate MOSFET improves sensitivity and lowers noise in older VHF FM communication receiver using tubes. Break off center grounding pin of tube socket and cut wires soldered to pin, then connect transistor circuit to tube socket as shown. Replace original resistor going to pin 6 with 120K and run 37K resistor from pin 6 to ground. Move antenna input lead to top of RF input coil, and remove 6-V filament wiring from socket. If tube filaments were in series, replace 6AK5 filament with 36-ohm 2-W resistor. Conversion increases sensitivity to 0.3μγ for 20-dB quieting.-H. Meyer, How to Improve Receiver Performance of Vacuum-Tube VHF-FM Equipment, Ham Fladio, Oct. 1976, p 52-53.   (View)

PTC_THERMISTOR_AUTOMOTIVE_TEMPERATURE_INDICATOR

Published:2009/7/3 3:25:00 Author:May

The circuit is used to indicate two different water temperature trip points by tuming on LEDs when the temperatures are reached. The circuit is constructed around the LM2904 dual operational amplifter powered from the 12 V auto system. The thermistor is in series with a 10 kΩ resistor from ground to the positive 9.1 V point. The top of the thermistor is tied to both non-inverting inputs of the LM2904. The voltage at these inputs will change as the thermistor resistance changes with temperature. Each inverting input on the LM2904 has a reference, or threshold trip point, set by a 10 kΩ resistor and a 2 kΩ potentiometer in series across the 9.1 V regulated voltage. When this threshold is exceeded on the non-inverting input of LM2904, the TlL220 LED lights. The two trip points can be recalibrated or set to trip at different temperatures by adjusting the 2 kΩ potentiometer in each section. In addition to being used as waming lights as shown here, circuits can be added to turn on the fan motor or activate a relay.   (View)

AURAL_SWR_INDICATOR

Published:2009/7/3 3:25:00 Author:May

Permits blind amateur radio operator to check standing waves on transmission line and adjust for best possible impedance match between source and load.Darkened areas are foil strips 6 x 70mm, 1.5 mm apart, forming inductive trough that transfers RF energy from transmission line to simple aural monitor. Rectified RF energy changes bias on base of Q1, which makes tone increase in pitch with increasing voltage. ldling tone is about 500 Hz for values shown. Operates from three penlight batteries. Transmitter is peaked for maximum output on rising pitch, and matcbox antenna tuner is adjusted for minimum SWR on descending pitch. To lower audio tone, increase size of 82K resistor.-C. G.

AUTOMOTIVE_LIGHTS_ON_WARNING

Published:2009/7/3 3:21:00 Author:May

The SN75604, with input control logic but requiring only one supply rail, can be used in the lights on sensor and alarm driver. The device Vcc and enable inputs are connected to a voltage lead from the light switch. The direction control input is connected to a lead from the ignition switch. Only operation of the lights without the ignition will result in the alarm sounding. The beeper used in this application is an Archer 273-066 that will operate from 3 V to 28 V. At a typical 12 V level, it will produce a pulsating tone of about 95 dB at 30 cm. The alarm on current is about 12 mA when operating from a 12 V supply.   (View)

POWER_SUPPLY_PROTECTION_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/3 3:21:00 Author:May

Circuit NotesWhen using a regulated supply to reduce a supply voltage there is always the danger of component failure in the supply and consequent damage to the equipment. A fuse will protect when excess current is drawn, but might be too slow to cope with overvoltage conditions. The values shown are for a 12 V supply being dropped to 5 V. The trip voltage is set to 5.7 V to protect the equipment in the event of a regulator fault. The 330 ohm resistor and the 500 ohm potentiometer form a potential divider which samples the output voltage as set by adjustment of the potentiometer. The SCR is selected to carry at least twice the fuse rating. The full supply voltage is connected to the input of the regulator. The 2N2906 is held bias off by the 10 k resistor and the SCR so that the LED is held off. If the output voltage rises above a set trip value then the SCR will conduct, the fuse will blow, and the 2N3906 will be supplied with base current via the 10 k resistor, and the LED will light up.   (View)

1_X_transfer_function_V_P_converter_10_kHz_to_50_Hz

Published:2009/7/23 23:41:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 12-14 This circuit is more accurate than that or Fig. 12-13, and it converts input voltages of 0 V to 5 V to an output frequency of 10 kHz to 50 Hz with a 0.005% accurate 1/X conformity. Drift is about 50 ppm/℃. One possible disadvantage is that this circuit draws an input current directly proportional to input voltage (to charge the LTC1043 0.01-pF capacitor). When the input voltage is 5 V, the circuit requires about 25 mA at pin 14 of the LTC1043. The optional buffer provides the necessary drive, although the input-voltage range must fall within the common-mode limits of the buffer. To trim, apply 5.000 V and adjust the full-scale trim for 50-Hz output. Linear Technology Linear Applications Handbook 1990, p. AN14-13.   (View)
