CAR_BATTERY_TESTER_FOR_CRANKING_AMPS

Published:2009/6/16 4:39:00 Author:May

This circuit determines the cold cranking amps of a battery by firest discharging the surface charge, then checking the internal resistance. This gives a more realistic measurement than simply measuring the instantaneous drop in voltage with a load. A constant-current source draws 2.5A. Then, after one minute, a voltage drop measurement is made under load.   (View)

BATTERY_TESTER_

Published:2009/6/16 4:04:00 Author:May

The battery tester uses four transistors and two LEDs to indicate the condition of any battery you want to test. Q3 and Q4 are connected in a Darlington configuration that has extremely high gain. LED L2 lights when a small positive potential appears on the base of Q3. Transistors Q1 and Q2 form a direct-coupled dc-amplifier circuit. The output of this stage drives the red LED L1. Rotary switch 51 is used to select different ranges (which have been previously set by adjusting trimmer resistors PI through P5).The positive (+) lead goes through the selected contacts of S1 to the biasing resistors R3, R4, and R5. The negative (-) lead of the battery under test goes to the ground or common lead of the circuit and the (+) side to one side of P1 through P5.L1 Red LEDL2 Green LEDP1 through P5 5-kΩ trimmer resistorR1 100 kΩR2, R3 33 kΩR4, R5 470 ΩR6 12 Ω 1WS1 2 P6 position NS rotary switchS2, NO pushbutton switchDepending on the position of S1, a particular trimmer resistor (wiper lead) is selected. That lead goes through the contact on S1 to resistor R1 and into the base of npn transistor Q1. If the battery is good enough, (+) voltage goes to the base of Q1, turning it on. This turns Q2 off, which then allows Q3 to turn on. That causes Q4 to turn on and light green LED L2.If the battery is weak, Q1 will not turn on, which will cause Q2 to be biased on by R3, which in turn lights red LED L1. When Q1 is on, it biases the base of Q3 negative, and causes Q3 to be turned off. That prevents L2 from turning on.The circuit operates in the same manner for all ranges except the first two, where a 9-V battery has been added by S1 to be in series with the input voltage to allow for testing of very low voltage batteries. That is because at voltages below 2 Vdc, LEDs will not light and the circuit would be unable to set a low-voltage (<2-V) battery without the additional internal-battery voltage. A load resis-tor has also been included; it allows the battery under test to be connected to a load to give a better indication of its condition. That load resistor is connected across the battery when normally open (NO) switch S2 is depressed.   (View)

BATTER_CHARGER

Published:2009/6/16 3:13:00 Author:May

The circuit is capable of supplying either a trickle (50 mA) or high-current (1-A) charge. You can select either charging dtethod or an automatic mode that will first trickle charge a battery if it is particularly low before switching to high-current charging.If the battery's voltage is low, Zener-diode D5 will not conduct sufficient current to produce a voltage drop across R6 to turn Q2 on. With Q2 off, R4 pulls the base of Q1 high, turning it on. That activates K1. With K1 active, the only thing between the battery and the power supply is R2 and D4 (which prevents current from flowing through the circuit from the battery).Once the battery charges a bit, the current through D5 increases, causing a voltage drop across R6 that is of sufficient magnitude to turn on Q2. Transistor Q2, in turn, grounds the base of Q1, keeping it off. With Q1 off, K1 remains in its normally closed state. That places R1 in series with the battery, thereby reducing the current to a trickle.   (View)

1_mV_OFFSET，CLOCK_TUNABLE，MONOLITHIC_5_POLE_LOW_PASS_FILTER

Published:2009/6/16 3:02:00 Author:May

The LTC1063 is the first monolithic low-pass fil-ter that simultaneously offers outstanding dc and ac performance. It features internal or external clock tunability, cutoff frequencies up to 50 kHz, 1-mV typ-ical output dc offset, and a dynamic range in excess of 12 bits for over a decade of input voltage.The LTC1063 approximates a 5-pole Butterworth low-pass filter. The unique internal architecture of the filter allows outstanding amplitude matching from device to device. Typical matching ranges from 0.01 dB at 25% of the filter passband to 0.05 dB at 50% of the filter passband.An internal or external clock programs the filter's cutoff frequency. The clock-to-cutoff frequency ratio is 100:1. In the absence of an external clock, the LTC1063's internal precision oscillator can be used. An external resistor and capacitor set the device's internal clock frequency.   (View)

HEADLIGHT_ALARM

Published:2009/6/16 3:01:00 Author:May

The base of Q1 is connected to the car's ignition circuit; the easiest point to make that connection is at the ignition switch fuse in the car's fuse panel. Also, one side of the piezoelectric buzzer is connected to the instrument-panel light fuse; when the headlights or parking lights are on, the instrument panel is lit, too. When the headlights are off, no current reaches the buzzer. Therefore, nothing happens. What happens when the head-lights are on depends on the state of the ignition switch. When the ignition switch is on, transistors Q1 and Q2 are biased on, effectively removing the buzzer and the LED from the circuit.When the ignition switch is turned off, but the headlight switch remains on, transistor Q1 is turned off, but transistor Q2 continues to be biased on. The result is that the voltage across the piezoelectric buzzer and the LED is sufficient to cause the buzzer to sound loudly and the LED to light.   (View)

LIGHTS_ON_REMINDER

Published:2009/6/16 3:00:00 Author:May

A relay and two diodes are all that is needed-the relay performs the job of a buzzer so no annun-ciator is required. When the lights are left on, but the ignition is off, the normally closed relay contacts are in series with the relay coil. That means the relay interrupts its own power each time it becomes active, so it chatters and acts fie a buzzer.This is a real minimalistic headlight reminder. It doesn't even require an annunciator because the relay acts as buzzer.   (View)
