±15_V_CHOPPER_AMPLIFIER

Published:2009/7/3 3:17:00 Author:May

This simple circuit is a gain-of-1000 inverting amplifier. It will amplify submillivolt signals up to signal levels suitable for further processing. In almost all system applications, it is best to use as much gain as possible in the MAX420, thus minimizing the effects of later-stage offsets. For exam-ple, if circuitry following the MAX420 has an offset of 5 mV, the additional offset referred back to the MAX420 input (gain = 1000) will be 5μV, doubling the system's offset error.   (View)

FSK_DEMODULATOR_FOR_EKG_RELAY

Published:2009/7/3 3:15:00 Author:May

Used at receiving end of satellite system for relaying EKGs, to convert received audio FSK signal to TTL level-shifting output from which original EKG can be obtained. Phase-locked loop tracks input signal frequency and feeds appropriate error signal through differential amplifier to five-pole Butterworth low-pass filter having 1500-Hz cutoff. DC offset is removed by capa-itor coupling, for use in zero-crossing detector or Schmitt-trigger detector. Signal is next converted into TTL-compatible level. Recorded output could not be distinguished from original EKG by doctors.-D. Nelson, Medical Data Relay via Oscar Satellite, Ham Fladio, April 1977, p67-73.   (View)

BAR_GRAPH_VOLTMETER

Published:2009/7/3 3:13:00 Author:May

This display uses ten LED's to display a voltage range from 10.5 to 15 volts. Each LED represents a 0.5-volt step in voltage. The heart of the circuit is the LM-3914 dot/bar display driver. Trimmer potentiometer R5 is adjusted so that 7.5 volts is applied to the top side of the divider. Resistor R7 and diodes D2 through D5 clamp the voltage applied to the LED's to about 3 volts. A lowpass filter made up of L1 and C2 guards against voltage spikes. Diode D1 is used to protect against reverse voltage in case the voltmeter is hooked up backward.   (View)

DC_MOTOR_SPEED_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/3 3:11:00 Author:May

Power op amps provide accurate speed control for dc motors. The circuit provides bidirectional speed control. The amplifiers' push-pull configuration ensures a full rail-to-rail voltage swing (minus the output stages' saturation drops) across the motor in either direction. The circuit uses a mechanically-coupled tachometer to provide speed-stabilizing feedback to the first amplifier section. The motor's speed and direction of rotation is set by adjusting the 10 k ohm potentiometer at the amplifier's noninverting input. The RFCF feedback network prevents oscillation by compensating for the inherent dynamic mechanical lag of the motor. Select the RFCF time constant to match the particular motor's characteristics.   (View)

GARAGE_STOP_LIGHT

Published:2009/7/3 3:10:00 Author:May

Capacitor C1 is permanently connected across the 3-volt supply through 10 megohm resistor R1. The capacitor charges (relatively slowly) to 3 volts. The instant switch SW1 is closed, it connects the charged capacitor (C1) in series with C2 and R2. Capacitor C2 starts to charge, placing a positive-going voltage on the gate of the SCR and causing it to turn on. The two parallel-connected self-flashing bulbs I1 and I2 turn on. They flash and turn off the SCR and the circuit is off the switch and C1 can recharge.   (View)

BACK_EMF_PM_MOTOR_SPEED_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/3 3:09:00 Author:May

The use of power MOSFETs allows a direct interface between logic and motor power, which permits circuit simplicity as well as high efficiency. This speed control circuit can be packaged on a 22-pin, double-sided, 3.5 x 4-in. pc board. A 12 V control supply and a TRW BL11, 30V motor are used; with minor changes other motor and control voltages can be accommodated. For example, a single 24V rail could supply both control and motor voltages. Motor and control voltages are kept separate here because CMOS logic is used to start, stop, reverse and oscillate the motor with a variable delay between motor reversals. Motor speed is established by potentiometer R2, which applies a corresponding dc voltage to the + input of comparator U1, whose output is then applied to TMOS device MTP8P08 (Q1). Zener diode D1 limits the drive to Q1. The output of Q1 drives the permanent magnet motor. Back emf is obtained from the motor via the network consisting of R8, R9, R10, C2, C3 and D3; it is applied to-input of comparator U1.   (View)

OVERVOLTAGE_PROTECTION_CIRCUIT_SCR_CROWBAR

Published:2009/7/3 3:08:00 Author:May

Circuit Notes The silicon controllqd rectifier (SCR) is rated to handle at least the current of the power supply. It is connected in parallel across the 12 V dc output lines, but remains inert until a voltage appears at the gate terminal. This triggering voltage is supplied by the zener diode. At potentials less than 14 V the zener will not conduct current. But, at potentials greater than 14 Vdc the zener conducts and creates a voltage drop across the 330 ohm resistor that will fire the SCR. When the SCR turns on, the output lines of the power supply are shorted to ground. This will blow the primary fuse or bum out the transformer if there is no primary fuse.   (View)

CONSTANT_SPEED_MOTOR_CONTROL_USING_TACHOMETER_FEEDBACK_

Published:2009/7/3 3:07:00 Author:May

The generator output is rectified then filtered and applied between the positive supply voltage and the base of the detector transistor. This provides a negative voltage which reduces the base-voltage when the speed increases. In normal operation, if the tachometer voltage is less than desired, the detector transistor is turned on, then turns on Q2 which causes the timing capacitor for the unijunction transistor to charge quickly. As the tachometer output approaches the voltage desired, the base-emitter voltage is reduced to the point at which Q1 is almost cut off. Thereby, the collector current which charges the unijunction timing capacitor is reduced, causing that capacitor to charge slowly and trigger the thyristor later in the half cycle. In this manner, the average power to the motor is reduced until just enough power to maintain the desired motor speed is allowed to flow.   (View)

MOTOR_SPEED_CONTROL_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/3 3:07:00 Author:May

A shortcoming of the above bi-directional proportional motor control circuit is that with the potentiometer in its center position the motor does not stop, but creeps due to the difficulty in setting the potentiometer for an exact 1:1 mark-space ratio from the flip-flop. This modified circuit uses a second potentiometer, ganged with the first used to inhibit drive to the motor near the center position. This potentiometer is connected between the supply lines and feeds a window comparator which in turn drives the inhibit input of the L293.   (View)
