WINDOW_DETECTOR_1

Published:2009/7/14 23:05:00 Author:Jessie

Unique voltage-range sensing circuit provides positive indications of high, low or acceptable input levels for voltage and includes adjustments for both threshold and hysteresis levels. R1 and R2 ad just upper and lower thresholds, while R3 and R4 adjust upper and lower hysteresis levels. If acceptable input range is 4.5 V to 5.5V, output of opamp A1 goes negative when ein is greater than 5.5V. This saturates Q1 and Q2, making Q2 output go from 5 V to 0. TTL then indicates that input has exceeded 5,5 V. Upper hysteresis keeps A1 output negative until input has dropped to setting of R3, which might be 5.3 V. Similarly, when input drops below 4.5 V, output of A2 goes positive and saturates Q3.-I. KrellAnalogMonitor Has Threshold and Hysteresis Controls, EDN Magazine, Aug.1, 1972, p 58.   (View)

TOUCH_TONE_DECODER

Published:2009/7/14 20:42:00 Author:May

Uses seven National LM567 phase-locked loop decoders (U1-U7) having high noise rejection, immunity to false signals, and stable center frequency. Each 567 activates proper gate of SN7402, making output of gate go to high or 1 state for driving NPN transistor that can turn on LED labeled with corresponding Touch-Tone number. Alternatively, gate outputs can drive 12 relays, with relay contacts going to LEDs and/or to keyboard switches of ordinary calculator used as display display. Article tells how to adjust 10K pot for each 567 for detection of desired frequency.-W. Mac-Dowell, Touch-Tone Decoder, 73 Magazine, June 1976, p 26-27.   (View)

PLL_FSK_DEMODU_LATOR

Published:2009/7/14 23:04:00 Author:Jessie

Signetics NE560N phase-locked loop is used as receiving converter for demodulating carrier shifted between two preset frequencies, one corresponding to 0 and other to 1 of binary data signal. PLL provides shifting DC voltage to initiate 1 or 0 (mark or space) code elements. Circuit locks on and tracks output frequency of receiver. Input at pin 12 should be from 30 mV to 2 V P-P square or sine wave. Output of about 60 mVDC at pin 9 is amplified, conditioned, and fed to μA710 comparator to provide proper output voltages for interfacing with printer- Signetics Analog Data Manual, Signetics, Sunnyvale, CA, 1977, p 844-845.   (View)

5_V_CROWBAR

Published:2009/7/14 23:03:00 Author:Jessie

Simple overvoltage protection circuit for 5-V 1-A logic supply can be adjusted to trigger at 10% overvoltage or 5.5 V. Tunnel diode CR1 senses level. At 5.5 V, diode switches slightly past its valley piont, and voltage across diode biases Q1 into saturation. Q1 then supplies gate current to SCR Q2, which fires and continues conducting until power supply is disconnected. Power supply must include current-limiting circuit and fuse. R3 adjusts trip point.-L. Strahan, Logic-Supply Crowbar, EDN|EEE Magazine, Nov. 15, 1971, p 51.   (View)

TRIAC_SUPPRESSES_RELAY_ARCING

Published:2009/7/14 23:02:00 Author:Jessie

Circuit prevents arcing at contacts of relay for loads up to 50 A, by turning on as soon as it is fired by gate current; this occurs after S1 is closed but before relay contacts close. Once contacts are closed, load current passes through them rather than through triac. When S1 is opened, triac limits maximum voltage across relay contacts to about 1 V. Circuit permits use of smaller relay since it does not have to interrupt full load current.- Circuit Applications for the Triac, Motorola, Phoenix, AZ, 1971, AN-466, p 8.   (View)
