4_DIGIT_INCANDESCENT

Published:2009/7/1 4:48:00 Author:May

Circuit serves for interfacing CMOS logic to multiplexed 4-digit incandescentdisplay. Scan decoder requires only two input NAND gates since blanking is not required. Incandescentdisplay requires 4.5 V at 24mA per segment when direct-driven; with multiplexing, instantaneous power must be 9 V at 48 mA to maintain same average power per segment. Display protection circuit monitors scan oscillator and blanks display if oscillator fails, to prevent high peak cument from degrading display when applied continuously to 1 digit.-A.Pshaenich, Interface Considerations for Nu-meric Display Systems, Motorola, Phoenix, AZ, 1975, AN-741, p 25.   (View)

AUTOMATIC_BRIGHTNESS_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/1 4:44:00 Author:May

Circuit adjusts brightness of LED digital display by altering mark-space ratio of LED supply voltage.Ambient-light input is sensed by BC109C transistor with top taken off. Normal display current of 20 mA is reduced to 2 mA when darkened room makes brightness unnecessary, conserving battery life. Tr3 and Tr4 operate as Schmitt trigger, with mark time of 1.5 ms determined by R2 and space time controlled by charging current through Tr5 and Tr2 as affected by ambient light on Tr1. Article gives complete circuits for driving 11-LED array. To add brightness control circuit, break ground connection of LED supply transistors and insert saturated transistor Tr6.-G.

PULSE_WIDTH_PROPORTIONAL_CONTROLLER_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/1 4:42:00 Author:May

The quad operational amplifier circuit yields full 0 to 100 percent pulse-width control.The controller uses an LM3900 that requires only a single supply voltage of 4 to 30 V.The pulse-repetition rate is set by a 1 kHz oscillator that incorporates amplifier A1. The oscillator feeds ramp generator A2, which generates a linear ramp voltage for each oscillator pulse. The ramp signal feeds the inverting input of comparator A3; the speed-control voltage feeds the noninverting input. Thus, the output of the comparator is a 1 kHz pulse train, the pulse width of which changes linearly with the control voltage.The control voltage can be provided by an adjustable potentiometer or by an external source of feedback information such as a motor-speed sensing circuit. Depending on the control-voltage setting, the pulse duration can be set at any value from zero (for zero average dc voltage applied to the motor) to the full pulse-repetition period (for applied motor voltage equal to dc power-supply voltage). An amplifier stage (A4) with a gain of 10 acts as a pulse-squaring circuit. A TIP-31 medium-power transistor is driven by A4 and serves as a separate power-amplifier stage.   (View)

GAME_ROLLER_OR_CHASE_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/1 4:34:00 Author:May

Circuit NotesThe 555 timer produces a rapid series of pulses whenever switch S1 is open. These pulses are counted in groups of 16 and con-verted into binary form by the 7493 and applied to the 74154 (a 1-of-16 decoder/demultiple xer) wired so that each of its 16 output lines goes low sequentially and in step with the binary count delivered by the 7493. When the switch is closed, only one LED remains on. 0nly one current limiting resistor (R3) is used for all the LED's since only one is on at any one time.   (View)

PUNCH_PRESS_SAFETY_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/24 4:02:00 Author:Jessie

To prevent operators from jamming or taping one or more buttons closed, control circuit stops press at end of cycle. Both buttons must then be released and depressed again to start new cycle. self-exched magnetic amplifier operates much like snap switch.-S. A.

AUTOMATIC_LEVEL_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/1 4:31:00 Author:May

The NE570 can be used to make a very high performance ALC compressor, except that the rectifier input is tied to the input. This makes gain inversely proportional to input level so that a 20 dB drop in input level will produce a 20 dB increase in gain. The output will remain fixed at a constant level. As shown, the circuit wilt maintain an output level of ±1 dB for an input range of +14 to -43 dB at 1 kHz. Additional external components will allow the output level to be adjusted.   (View)

AUDIO_Q_MULTIPLIER

Published:2009/7/1 4:30:00 Author:May

This circuit is for selective tuning between two closely spaced audio tones. The selective frequency is dependent on the value of capacitors and resistors in the feedback circuit between the collector and base of Q1. With the values shown, the frequency can be tuned a hundred cycles or so around 650 Hz. RI and R2 must be ganged. Emitter potentiometer R3 determines the sharpness of response curve. Any transistor having a beta greater than 50 can be used. Select a value for R4 so that the circuit will not oscillate when R3 is set for minimum bandwidth (sharpest tuning).   (View)

HIGH_INPUT_IMPEDANCE_DIFFERENTIAL_AMPLIFIER

Published:2009/7/1 4:29:00 Author:May

Operational amplifiers A1 and A2 are connected in a non-inverting configuration with their outputs driving amplifier A3. Operational amplifier A3 could be called a subtractor circuit which converts the differential signal floating between points X and Y into a singleended output voltage. Although not mandatonr,_amplifier A3 is usually operated at unity gain and R4, R5, R6, and R7 are all equal.The common-mode-rejection of amplifier A3 is a function of how closely the ratio R4:R5 matches the ratio R6:R7. For example, when using resistors with 0.1% tolerance, common-mode rejection is greater than 60 dB. Additional improvement can be attained by using a potentiometer (slightly higher in value than R6) for R7. The potentiometer can be adjusted for the best common-mode rejection. Input amplifiers Al and A2 will have some differential gain but the common-mode input voltages will experience only unity gain. These voltages will not appear as differential signals at the input of amplifier A3 because, when they appear at equal levels on both ends of resistor R2, they are effectively canceled.This type of low-level differential amplifier finds widespread use in signal processing.It is also useful for dc and low-frequency signals commonly received from a transducer or thermocouple output, which are amplified and transmitted in a single-ended mode.The amplifier is powered by ±15 V supplies. It is only necessary to null the input offset voltage of the output amplifier A3.   (View)
