CAPACITANCE_MULTIPLIER

The circuit can be used to simulate large capacitances using small value components.With the values shown and C - 10 μF, an effective capacitance of 10,000 μF was obtained.The Q available is limited by the effective series resistance. So R1 should be as large as practical.   (View)

SIMULATED_INDUCTOR

Published:2009/7/1 23:07:00 Author:May

With a constant current excitation, the voltage dropped across an inductance increases with frequency. Thus, an active device whose output increases with frequency can be characterized as an inductance. The circuit yields such a response with the effective inductance being equal to: L= R1R2C. The Q of this inductance depends upon Ry being equal to R2. At the same time, however, the positive and negative feedback paths of the amplifier are equal leading to the distinct possibility of instability at high frequencies. R1 should therefore always be slightly smaller than R2 to assure stable operation.   (View)

ELECTRONIC_COMBINATION_LOCK

Published:2009/7/1 23:03:00 Author:May

When button S12 (#) is pressed, a positive voltage fed through R1 appears at the base of transistor Q1, turning it on. When Q1 is conducting, pin 1 of U1 is brought to ground (low) or the battery's egative terminal. With pin 1 low, two things occur: Pin 8 of U1 goes high (+9 volts dc), turning on LED 1-indicating that the circuit has been armed-and pin 13 goes from high to low. Transistor Q2 requires a low signal or negative voltage on its base in order to conduct. It also needs a positive voltage on its emitter and a negative voltage on the collector. As long as the door switch (S15) remains open (with the door itself closed), Q2's emitter will not receive the necessary positive voltage. If, however, an unauthorized person opens the door, thus closing switch S15 and placing a positive voltage on the emitter of Q1, the following sequence occurs: 1. Transistor Q2 conducts, receiving the necessary biasing current through a currentdivider network consisting of resistors R3 and R4.2. As Q2 conducts, a voltage drop is developed across the voltage dividers made upof resistors R5 and R6. With R5 at 10,000 ohms and R6 at 1000 ohms, approximately one volt appears at the gate of SCR1. That's enough voltage to trigger the SCR's gate.   (View)

THREE_DIAL_COMBINATION_LOCk

Published:2009/7/1 22:56:00 Author:May

Here's an effective little combination lock that you can put together in one evening's time. To open the lock, simply dial in the correct combination on the three rotary or thumbwheel switches. With the correct combination entered, current flows through R1 into Q1's gate terminal, causing the SCR to latch in a conductive state. This sends a current through relay K1, which responds by closing its contacts and actuating whatever load is attached. After opening the lock, twirl the dials of S1 through S3 away from the correct combination so that nobody gets a look at it. The lock will remain open and your load will remain on because the SCR is latched on. To lock things up, it's only necessary to interrupt the flow of anode current through the SCR by pressing pushbutton S4.   (View)

HIGH_OUTPUT_600_OHM_LINE_DRIVER

Published:2009/7/1 22:52:00 Author:May

The circuit has a floating output, i.e., it behaves like an isolated transfonner winding, with the output amplitude remaining unchanged whether the center or either end of the load is grounded. This is achieved by making Z-out, common mode, infinite. The circuit consists of two current-sources in push-pull. Since each has infinite output Z, the common mode output impedance is also infinite. Connecting a resistor between the noninverting terminals of the op amps reduces the differential Z-out without affecting the Z-common-mode. Since the output is floating, if the load is also floating there is no output ground reference, which results in malfunction. This can be corrected by reducing the common-mode Z slightly. R7 fulfills this function. All resistors should be of close tolerance to give a good balance. The line driver provides +24 dB from ±12 V or + 16 dB from ±6 V supplies.   (View)

LED_WIND_VANE

Published:2009/7/1 22:44:00 Author:May

Ceramic magnet attached to rotor closes magnetic reed switches positioned at 45°intervals in circle around rotor. Eight wind directions are represented as 0-7 in binary notation,so 0= NW,1 = N,2 = NE,3=E,4=SE, 5 = S, 6 = SW, and 7 = W. Since 0 requires no switch, only seven switches are needed in rooftop indicator and only four wires need be run to binary decoder (wires A, B, C, and ground) driving LED readout in house. Transistors are 2N3641, and diodes in matrix used at vane location are 1N914 or 1N4148 silicon,-W. L.MacDowell, Digital Wind Direction Indicator, 73 Magazine, Nov. 1974, p 40-42.   (View)

FIVE_TRANSISTOR_AMPLIFIER_BOOSTS_FAST_PULSES_INTO_50_OHM_COAXIAL_CABLE

Published:2009/7/1 22:42:00 Author:May

The circuit works from dc to 50 MHz and will deliver pulses as short as 10 ns. It is driven by a TTL signal through a 740S00 quad Schottky NAND gate, ICA through ICD. Transistor Ql,wired as a common-emitter amplifier, drives transistor Q2, a simple emitter follower. Transistors Q3 and Q4, wired in parallel, also form an emitter follower and drive the output. When Q3 and Q4 are both turned off, transistor Q5 works as a low-impedance sink. Schottky diodes D1 and D2 prevent Q1 and Q5 from becoming saturated. To adjust the circuit, potentiometer R1 is set to optimize the output pulse's fall time. Inductor L1, a peaking coil, should be adjusted to improve the rise time to within a permissible 5% overshoot. Likewise, capacitor C1 can be varied to control preshooting. Further output pulse shaping is accomplished with the help of capacitor C2.Resistors R2 and R3 ensure a proper 50-ohm impedance at the amplifier's output when the pulse is on or off, respectively.   (View)
