EQUIPMENT_INTERFACE_PROTECTION

Published:2009/7/14 23:29:00 Author:Jessie

When circuit shown is used to transfer signal from one piece of equipment to another, desired signal passes with very little degradation. Component values can be chosen to make thyristor SCP1 latch at any desired voltage between A and B that is greater than 0V, blowing fuse F1 and giving desired protective isolation. On other side of circuit, SCR2 will latch and blow F2 when voltage exceeds limiting value set by diode D2 and zener D4. Zeners are 10-V CV7144, diodes are CV9637 small-signal silicon, resistors are 10K, capacitors are 0.047 μF, and thyristors are 2N4147.-S. G. Pinto and A. P.

ATTACK_DECAY_RAMP_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/14 23:29:00 Author:Jessie

In the circuit diagram shown, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) IC is used to create an envelope waveform, the attack and decay of which are controllable. Typical applications can include audio and music synthesizer circuitry. Its operation is as follows. IC1a and IC1b form two variable-frequency oscillators, whose outputs are fed to IC2. This is configured as a demultiplexer, addressed by a signal appearing on pin 11. The signal from IC1a or IC1b appears at the output, pin 3. Initially pin 11 of IC2 will be high, so IC1a will be selected and fed through resistor R1 to IC4, a bi-nary counter, which is cascaded to 106. In total, this results in an 8-bit binary count (0 to 255) appearing at the counters' outputs. The speed of the count is adjustable with VR1. The counter output is fed directly to IC3, a ZN429E digital-to-analog converter. The ramp voltage appears at pin 4 of IC3, and will always be between 0 and 4 V. When the counter reaches its terminal count of 255, pin 7 of IC6 (CARRY OUT) will go low. This signal is inverted by IC1c and used as a clock pulse to IC5, a 4013 D-type flip-flop. The output at pin 1 of IC5 now goes low, so that a logic 0 is placed on pin 11 of IC2 and on pin 10 (UP/DOWN) of both counter ICs. Oscillator IC1b is now fed through the dernultiplexer to the counters, which now count down from 255. The output voltage from IC3 will now fall at a rate determined by the setting of VR2. As the count passes zero and rolls back to 255, a pulse again appears at pin 7 of IC6, and the cycle continues. At any time, switch S1 (debounced by CB and R3) can be momentarily activated. This causes a high output at pin 13 of IC5, which drives transistor TR1, shunting the clock signal to the counters. This will freeze the count at that point. A second operation of S1 restarts the count from where it left off. A buffer/amplifier formed by IC8a (one half of an LM358N) allows the output voltage of the DAC (IC3) to be increased or the dc level shifted.   (View)

FAIL_SAFE_TTL_INTERFACE

Published:2009/7/14 20:51:00 Author:May

Diode and FET protect SN74121 high-speed level detector from excessive opamp output voltage. If input of opamp goes too far negative, positive-going output will cause breakdown of TTL input. Protective interface makes circuit fail-safe without loss of operating speed. D, should be highspeed germanium diode with breakdown volt-age above highest positive output of amplifier (usually about 15 V).-K. I.

INTERMEDIATE_FREQUENCY_TRANSMITTER

Published:2009/7/14 20:50:00 Author:May

The oscillator transmitter circuit is a variation of the Colpitts configuration. This particular circuit exhibits excellent frequency stability, good isolation between the frequency reference and the output, and isolated low output impedance. If you have the correct crystal on hand, that's fine. If not, a ceramic resonator will also work with the components shown. The tuned circuit T1 is an IF can, salvaged from an old AM and FM receiver; be sure that it has a primary tap. The primary of the 455-KHz, IF can will measure 3 to 5Ω, and the 10.7-MHz IF can will measure less than 1Ω; these measurements will help you to identify the correct inductor. The components in parentheses should be used for the 455-kHz transmitter.   (View)

STARTER_FOR_FLIP_FLOP

Free-running flip-flop (thin lines) has several desired features but will not start oscillation by itself. Output impedance is less than 1,800 ohms, period is 1 millisec, and circuit is quite stable once in operation. Heavy lines show additions re quired for starting flip-flop when it is stalled.C3 (150 mfd) is in circuit for time period in which power supply voltage increases from 0 to 9 v after switch is dosed. Relay pulls in at 9 v, to remove C3 from circuit after it has served its starting function.-Starter Circuit for Flip-Flop, Electronic Circuit Design Handbook, Mactier Pub.
