AUTOMATIC_PLANT_WATERER

Published:2009/6/25 22:35:00 Author:Jessie

The unit consists of a sensor, timer, and electric water pump. The sensor is embedded in the soil, and when dry, the electronics operate the water pump for a preset time. The circuit is composed of a level sensitive Schmitt trigger, variable time monostable, and output driver. When the resistance across the probe increases beyond a set value (i.e., the soil dries), the Schmitt is triggered. C2 feeds a negative going pulse to the monostable when the Schmitt triggers and R2 acts as feedback, to ensure a fast switching action.   (View)

RAIN_ALARM

Published:2009/6/25 22:31:00 Author:Jessie

The circuit uses four NAND gates of a 4011 package. In eachoscillator, while one gate is configured as a straightforward inverter, the other has one input that can act as a control input. Oscillator action is inhibited if this input is held low. The first oscillator (IC1a and IC1b) has this input tied low via a high value resistor (R1) that acts as a sensitivity control. Thus this oscillator will be disabled until the control input is taken high. Any moisture bridging the sensor track will so enable the output which is a square wave at about 10 Hz. This in turn will gate on and off the 500 Hz oscillator formed by IC1c and IC1d. This latter oscillator drives the loudspeaker via R6, the Darlington pair formed by Q1 and Q2, and resistor R7.   (View)

EDGE_DETECTOR

Published:2009/6/25 22:31:00 Author:Jessie

Circuit Notes This circuit provides a short negativegoing output pulse for every positive-going edge at the input. The input waveform is coupled to the input by capacitor C; the pulse O length denends, as before, on R and C. If a negattve gomg edge detector is required, the circuit in B should be used.   (View)

PRECISION_PEAK_VOLTAGE_DETECTOR_WITH_A_LONG_MEMORY_TIME

Published:2009/6/25 22:29:00 Author:May

Circuit Notes The circuit has negative feedback only for positive signals. The inverting input can only get some feedback when diode Dl is forward biased and only occurs when the input is posi-tive. With a positive input signal, the output of the op amp rises until the inverting input signal reaches the same potential. In so doing, the capacitor C is also charged to this potential.When the input goes negative, the diode Dl becomes reverse biased, the voltage on the capacitor remains, being slowly discharged by the op amp input bias current of 10 pico amps.Thus the discharge of the capacitor is domin-antly controlled by the resistor R, giving a time constant of 10 seconds. Thus, the circuit de-tects the most positive peak voltage and remembers it.   (View)

70_dB_VOLTAGECONTROLLED_GAIN

Published:2009/6/25 22:24:00 Author:May

Amplifier Q1 uses current source Q2 as emitter resistor to provide correct current bias for class A operation. Coupling through 150-μF capacitor to silicon diode string D1-D8 provides variable re-sistance needed to achieve variable gain. Sim-ple differential amplifier Q3-Q4 adjusts forward bias of diodes to change their forward resis-tanco. Increasing positive control voltage from 0 to 4.5 V changes voltage gain from -74 dBm to about -4 dBm with respect to 0-dBm input signaL-N.A Steiner, Voltage-Controlled Am-plifier Covers 70 dB Range, EDN Magazine, March 5, 1975, p 72 and 74.   (View)
