Z_DICE_GAME

Published:2009/6/19 3:38:00 Author:May

Using a microcontroller (U2) keeps the parts count and the cost of this 5-dice LED display relatively low. Z-dice uses five clusters of seven LEDs to represent the marks or pips on five dice. Buttons below each of the LED dice let the player mark a die to be rolled on the next throw. Marked dice show up as dimmed LEDs. Pressing the button to the right of the display rolls the marked dice. If the player changes his or her mind about rolling a particular die before pressing the roll button, he or she can un-mark it by pressing its button a second time. If no dice are marked at the time the player presses the roll button, then all of the dice are marked to be rolled. A second press starts them rolling, animating the LEDs of the marked dice for a second or so before displaying the results of the roll. Z-Dice doesn't count rolls or keep score, so it's still up to the players to make sure that nobody cheats!This diagram shows the wiring details of the dice display. For space and simplicity, only the first and last dice are shown. A programmed microcontroller is needed for this circuit. Refer to the original article for software.   (View)

Self-initiated control overcurrent protection circuit diagram

Published:2011/6/24 1:43:00 Author:Rebekka | Keyword: Self-initiated control , overcurrent protection

If the RS flip-flop reset still in the over-current condition, the level of FF1's Q-side is always high. It continues to cut off the device power supply. IC1 has been in the set state. The R side of FF1 does not work. The control circuit of the overcurrent devices can not only cut off the power and when it returns to be normal, it can start automatically. Thus the power interruption error which is generated by the phenomenon can be removed.   (View)

NOVEL_RF_POWER_METER

Published:2009/6/19 3:32:00 Author:May

The circuit matches the diode with a voltage-variable attenuator that has a logarithmic response. By varying the attenuation until the diode output is zero, the resulting attenuation value then corre-sponds to the input power level. Because the voltage-variable attenuator's output is logarithmic, diode nonlinearities become negligible.   (View)

TWO_REMOTE_METERS

Published:2009/6/19 3:29:00 Author:May

Two remote meters can be driven independently using just one wire pair. This“constant current”design eliminates the effects of wire-pair resistance up to 200Ω. Driving two remote meters inde-pendently usually requires two wire pairs(one pair for each meter).In the circuit, IC1 and IC2 generate a 40-Hz symmetrical square wave (the frequency isn't criti-cal). Q5 through Q8 amplify tl)e square wave to 5 Vp-p, which is applied to the return (black wire)for the remote meters.Amplifier IC3A buffers the input signal voltage Vmi, intended for meter M1(0 to 8V), and sends it through emitter-follower Q3 to a 100-Q current-sense resistor. The other end of this resistor is tied to the supply (red wire) of the remote meters. IC3B amplifies the voltage across the sense resistor, which corresponds to the current sent to remote meter MI, and closes the feedback loop to IC3A.This results in a voltage of 0 to 8V at the Ml input, generating a current of 0 to 10 mA to M1.Transistor Q1 gates this current on and off synchronous to the 40-Hz square wave so that meter MI actually sees a 50% 0-to-+10-mA peak(0 to 5 mA average)current.Similarly, IC3C, IC3D, Q2, and Q4 provide a 0- to -10-mA peak current for M2. Ml and M2 are isolated by the two-reverse-conn ected 1N914 diodes in the remote-meter box. Variable resistors across Ml and M2 permit calibration. The extra 1N914 diode in the M2 drive circuit prevents inter-ference between MI and M2.   (View)

The sine, square, triangle function generator is exceptionally useful. Various IC circuits have been published for generating square and triangle waveforms in an attempt to duplicate the general-purpose function generator. However, these simple circuits are usually limited to about 10 kHz and have no sine-wave output. The function generator shown here provides all three waveforms and operates from below 10 Hz to 1 MHz with usable output to about 2 MHz.   (View)

ACCURATE，STABLE_FUNCTION_GENERATOR

Published:2009/6/19 3:21:00 Author:May

Supply-limited oscillators usually are sensitive to temperature and power-supply changes, are never symmetrical, and don't operate at high frequencies because the amplifier's output is saturated when it reaches the supply lines.The circuit shown, a function generator, can alleviate these problems. Its square-wave output boasts a rapid rise time, quick settling time, and an amplitude that's temperature insensitive. Also, its triangular output waveform features a perfectly constant rate of change throughout its range.Amplifier A1 together with A2 generates a stable +10 V. This signal, which is integrated using A3, C2, and R2, makes a negative-going ramp. When the peak output of A3 equals -10 V, the output of A1 and A2 change state and the A3's output ramps up. When A3's output equals +10 V, the outputs of A1 and A2 change state again and new cycle starts.   (View)

VOICE_DISGUISER

Published:2009/6/19 3:20:00 Author:May

A complete schematic diagram of the voice disguiser is shown. Microphone MIC1 picks up the voice signal and feeds it to an audio amplifier, consisting of Q1 and Q2, and a few support compo-nents. The amplifier has a low-pass gain response that limits the voice frequencies to 5 kHz or lower. The voice signal is then fed to the input of the first balanced modulator, which is comprised of U1-a, U1-b, U2-a, and U3-a. The output of the first 4-kHz oscillator, built around U3-f and U3-e, is fed to the carrier input of the first modulator. The frequency of the first oscillator is controlled by the setting of potentiometer R13. The modulator output-a double-sideband suppressed-carrier signal centered on 4 kHz-is then filtered by the first 5-kHz low-pass filter, formed by U2-b, which elimi-nates the upper-sideband signals. At this point, the voice frequency spectrum is inverted (e.g., the frequencies that were low now become high, and vice versa), making the voice signal completely unintelligible. The output of the first low-pass filter is fed to a second modulator formed by U1-c, U1-d, and U3-b, where it is fre-quericy modulated with the output of the second carrier oscillator, comprised of U3-c and U3-d; the frequency of the second oscillator is controlled by potentiometer R36. The output of the second modulator is filtered by the second low-pass filter, which consists of U2-d and few support components, and amplified by Q3. The voice output signal from Q3 is fed to U4 (an LM386 low-voltage, audio-power amplifier) through an impedance-matching transformer, T1.The output of U4 is then used to drive SPKR1 (an 8-Ω speaker). In operation, if both carrier oscillators are set to the same frequency, the voice signal from the speaker will be an exact duplicate of the input signal from the microphone. However, if the frequency of the second oscillator is varied (via R36), the output voice signal also shifts in frequency. That makes the voice reproduced by the speaker sound higher- or lower-pitched than normal.   (View)

SWEEP_FUNCTION_GENERATOR_1

Published:2009/6/19 3:17:00 Author:May

Both IC2 and IC4 are Exar XR2206 monolithic function generators; IC4 functions as a ramp gen-erator, and IC2 functions as a generator of sine, triangular, and square waveforms. Dual operational amplifier IC1 produces a scaled, level-shifted ramp output that is capable of deflecting an oscillo-scope's horizontal sweep.Any frequency of interest along the horizontal axis of an oscilloscope that is coupled to this func-tion generator can be mgasured with an external frequency counter by manually tuning the function generator's VCO instead of sweeping it. The performance characteristics of the sweep/function gen-erator are summarized in the Table.The generator's sweep rate and frequency can be set by front-panel rotary six-position switches, Sweep Rate Switch S5 and Frequency Switch S2. The VCO control R30 manually tunes the VCO.Table 2 lists the sweep ranges of the function generator. Sweep ranges not covered in ranges 1 to 4 can be set up as required on positions 5 and 6. Selecting the VCO setting on the front panel toggle switch S4 permits tuning any fixed frequency within the total frequency range of the instrument with both frequency switch S2 and VCO control R30.The sweep rate or duration of the sweep ramp is selected by the rotary six-position Sweep Rate Switch S5. Table 3 lists the sweep rate durations for each of the six positions. Longer periods should be used for lower frequency sweeps.   (View)
