The LRC input network limits the anode dvidt to a safe value-below 30V/μs. R1 provides critical damping to prevent voltage overshoot. While a simple RC filter section could be used, the high current required by the squib would dictate a small value of resistance and a much larger capacitor. Resistor R3 provides dc bias stabilization, while C3 provides stiff gate bias during the transient interval when anode voltage is applied.The SCR is fired one second after arming by means of the simple R2C2Z1 time delay network. R4 provides a load for the SCR for testing the circuit with the squib disconnected-limiting the current to a level well within the continuous rating of the SCR.The circuit can be reset by opening the +28 V supply and then re-arming.

Capacitor C1 is charged to + 28V through R1 and stores energy for firing the squib. A positive pulse of 1mA applied to the gate of SCR1 will cause it to conduct, discharging C1 into the squib load X1. With the load in the cathode circuit, the cathode rises immediately to +28 V as soon as the SCR is triggered on.Diode D1 decouples the gate from the gate trigger source, allowing the gate to rise in potential along with the cathode so that the negative gate-to-cathode voltage rating is not exceeded. This circuit will reset itself after test firing, since the available current through RI is less than the holding current of the SCR. After C1 has been discharged, the SCR automatically turns off-allowing C1 to recharge. (View)

This zero-crossing detector uses a dual LM393 comparator, and easily controls hysteresis by the reference levels which are set on the comparator inputs. The circuit illustrated is powered by ±10-V power supplies. The input signal can be an ac signal level up to + 8 V. The output will be a positive going pulse of about 4.4 V at the zero-crossover point. These parameters are compatible with TTL logic levels.The input signal is simultaneously applied to the non-inverting input of comparator A and the inverting input of comparator B. The inverting mput of comparator A has a + 10 mV reference with respect to ground, while the non-inverting input of comparator B has a -10 mV reference with respect to ground. As the input signal swings positive (greater than +10 mV), the output of comparator A will be low while comparator B will have a high output. When the input signal swings negative (less than - 10 mV), the reverse is true. The result of the combined outputs will be low in either case. On the other hand, when the input signal is between the threshold points (±10 mV around zero crossover), the output of both comparators will be high. If more hysteresis is needed, the ±10 mV window may be made wider by increasing the reference voltages. (View)

Fig. 14-3 This circuit shows a thermally based flowmeter, which features highly accurate rates as low as 1 mL/min and has a frequency output, which is a linear function of flow rate. This design measures the differential temperature between two sensors (Fig. 14-3B). Sensor T1, located before the heater resistor, assumes the fluid's temperature before the fluid is heated by the resistor. Sensor T2 picks up the temperature rise that is induced into the fluid by the resistor. The sensor difference signal appears at the Al output. A2 amplifies this difference with a time constant set by the response time adjustment. Figure 14-3C shows A2 output versus flow rate. The curves shown are for distilled water. To calibrate, set a flow rate of 10 mL/min and adjust the flow calibration trim for 10-Hz output. Linear Technology Linear Applications Handbook 1990 p AN5-6. (View)
