28_V_HIGH_EFFICIEIVCY

Published:2009/6/30 2:09:00 Author:May

Uses driven-type converter in which signal source is simple two-transistor oscillator Q1-Q2. Turn-on delay technique eliminates overlap current otherwise flowing in 2N1016 push-pull power transistors Q5 and Q6 when one is still on in storage state while other is driven on. Efficiency can approach 90%. Q3 and Q4 prevent off transistor from conducting until opposite device has turned off. Values for T2, CR3, and CR4 in output circuit are chosen to give desired DC output voltage.—R. F. Downs, Minimize Overlap to Maximize Efficiency in Saturated Push-Pull Circuits, EDN|EEE Magazine, Feb. 1, 1972, p 48-50.   (View)

CRO_LOW_VOLTAGE_SUPPLY

Published:2009/6/30 2:07:00 Author:May

Developed for use as one of supplies for portable CR0, operating from battery using sealed rechargeable cells supplying 12 V at 2-5 Ah. High-efficiency inverter uses two GE D40C6 or RCA 2N5294 transistors (D101 and D102) as commutating switches for untapped feedback winding of power transformer. R102 then determines drive, while R101 produces required unbalanced starting bias. Thermistor R108 in series with CRT filament has cold resistance of 10 ohms to counteract very low cold resistance of CRT filament at start-up and prevent inverter malfunction. Article gives instructions for winding T101, along with high-voltage supply circuit and all other circuits of CRO covering DC to 10 MHz.—G. E. Friton, Eyes for Your Shack, 73 Magazine, Nov./Dee. 1975, p 74-76, 78-88 and 90-94.   (View)

TWO_OUADRANT_EXPONENTIAL_CONTROL

Published:2009/6/30 2:06:00 Author:May

Decibel-weighted control characteristic of Pre-cision Monolithics DAC-76 DIA converter matches natural Ioudness sensitMty of human ear, to provide much greater useful dynamic range for controlling audio Ievel. Control range can be either 72 or 78 dB, depending on pin connections used. 8-bit word control input can be interfaced with standard TTL-compatible microprocessor outputs. To avoid annoying output transients during large or rapid gain changes, use clickless attenuatoriamplifier (also given in application note）.-W.

LOW_CURRENT_INTRUDER_ALARM

Published:2009/6/30 2:05:00 Author:May

Use of programmable μA776 opamps reduces standby current of infrared alarm to 300 μA, permitting operation from small rechargeable cells. Detector is Mullard RPY86 that responds only to wavelengths above 6 μm, making it immune to sunlight and backgrounds intermittently illuminated by sun. Low-cost mirror is used instead of lens to concentrate infrared radiation on detector. Rd is chosen to make input to first opamp between 2 and 6 V. Circuit energizes alarm relay RL only when incident radiation is changed by movement of intruder in monhored space.- Ceramic Pyroelectric Infrared Detectors, Mullard, London, 1978, Technical Note 79, TP1664, p 8.   (View)

Published:2009/6/30 2:05:00 Author:May

Circuit designed for portable FM scanners and two-way walkietalkie radios can be tumed off by noise or by control signal to minimize battery drain. When squelched, LM388 opamp-transistor-diode anay draws only 0.8 mA from 7.5-V supply.Diodes rectify noise from Iimiter or discriminator of receiver, producing direct current that tums on Q1 and thereby clamps opamp off. Voltage gain is 20 to 200, depending on value used for R1. Power output without squelch is about 0.5 W for 8-ohm loudspeaker.- Audio Hand-book.

Addition of two general-purpose transistors to 555 timer gives audio-triggered relay that can be used for automatic recording of output of cttannel-monitorlng radio receiver or data from any audio link.Adjustable time delay R keeps control circuit actuated up to 5 s (determined by R and C) to avoid cycling relay during pauses in speech or dropouts in data. Q1 is NPN and Q2 is PNP. Attack time equals very short pullin time of 5-V reed relay K. Adjust 10K input pot just below point at which K pulls in when there is no audio input.-R.
