TTY_RESETS_CPU

Published:2009/7/14 22:54:00 Author:Jessie

Circuit uses break key on TTY as reset button for microprocessor. Retrig-gerable mono IC1 monitors data input line from TTY, which goes low for spacing condition. During normal data input, constant spacing pulses in data retrigger mono, keeping IC2 reset. When break key is depressed, input data goes to steady space and IC1 times out. IC2 then transfers high on its data input to its output to produce reset signal for CPU. Values of R2 and C1 give 150-ms period for mono, suitable for baud rates of 110 and higher,-C.

LOW_VOLTAGE_ALARM_1

Published:2009/7/14 22:53:00 Author:Jessie

Simple indicator circuit uses hex inverter IC to monitor several different input voltages. Technique is flexible and easily modified for different voltage values (either positive or negative) and additional in-puts. When negative input (V1, V2, or V3) falls below breakdown voltage of its zener, logic 0 appears at inverter output (at wired-OR connection). Because lamp-driving inverter has logic 0 at its input, lamp goes out as no-go signal. When positive input V4 falls below predetermined value, logic 0 again causes no-go indication,-R. J. Buonocore, Under-Voltage Sensing Circuit, EDN/EEE Magazine, Dee. 1, 1971, p 48-49.   (View)

AFSK_SHIFTS_UP_TO_20_kHz

Published:2009/7/14 22:50:00 Author:Jessie

Wide-range generator can be tuned from 50 Hz to 20 kHz, for shifting between two frequencies as much as 20 kHz apart. UI is 555 timer connected as astable MVBR. When Q3 is biased off, charge/discharge currents for C1 flow chiefly through R1 and R2 to determine lower frequency of oscillation, When Q3 is on, R2 is effectively shorted and frequency is increased.Q1 acts as buffer and inverter so higher voltage at input gives higher tone. Keying occurs when input voltage exceeds 1 V with 5-V supply. If 10K supply resistor for al is reduced to 1000 ohms, keying voltage increases to 3V.-T. M. Whittaker, Wide-Range AFSK Generator, QST, May 1977, p 48.   (View)

555_TRIGGER

Published:2009/7/14 22:49:00 Author:Jessie

Low-cost 555 timer provides ON/OFF and proportional-control switching of AC loads without generating RFI or voltage spikes. Timer is used in monostable mode, retriggering every half-cycle when voltage at pin 2 falls below about 1.67 V. R3 and C1 fix pulse width at about n ms, long enough to ensure firing SCR in next half-cycle yet short enough to turn SCR off at next zero-crossing without timing-cycle pulse. Pin 4 serves as ON/OFF control input. Varying duty cycle of square wave here gives proportional control for heating and other uses.-M, E, Anglin, Low Cost Zero-Cross Thyristor Trigger Uses a 555 IC, EDN Magazine, Sept. 5, 1977, p 180-181.   (View)
