Simple transistor circuit converts 100-kc standard frequency of frequency counter to 5 Mc for use with 500-Mc frequency converter which requires 5.Mc reference frequency. Q1 is doubler. Q2 and Q3 form unique quintupler evolved from Schmitt trigger, in which square-wave symmetry is preserved by maintaining triggering point at zero crossings of input signal.

IR_REMOTE_CONTROL_RECEIVER

Published:2009/7/14 8:16:00 Author:May

A schematic diagram of the remote-control receiver is shown. The heart of the circuit is IC1, a PIC16C54 8-bit CMOS manufactured by Microchip. The microcontroller stores its data in IC2, a 93LC46 1-kbit serial EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only ntemory), also manufactured by Microchip. In this application, the 93LC46 has a three-line interface with the microcontroller. The three lines are CHIP SELECT, CLOCK, and DATA IN/OUT. Because DATA IN and DATA OUT share the same line, a resistor (R2)limits the current flow during transitions between writing and reading when there are conflicting logic levels. The microcontroller communicates with the 93LC46 by placing a logic high on the CHIP SELECT pin. Data are then transferred serially to and from the 93LC46 on the positive transition of the CLOCK line. Each read or write function is preceded by a start bit, an opcode identifying the function to be performed (read, write, etc.), then a 7-bit address; this is followed by the 8 bits of data which are being written to or read from that address. Immediately preceding and following all write operations, the microcontroller sends instructions to the 93LC46, which enables or disables the write function, thereby protecting the data that have been stored. In the programming mode, IC1 reads an IR data stream from MOD1 and converts it to data patterns that can be stored in IC2. These data patterns are held for comparison while the unit is in normal operation. Power for the circuit is conditioned by IC3, a 78L05 low-current, 5-V regulator, which will accept any dc input voltage between 7 and 25 V. Capacitors C1 and C2 stabilize the operation of the regulator. Crystal XTAL1 sets the internal oscillator of IC1 to 4 MHz. Jumper JU1 consists of two closely spaced pads on the PC board that, when momentarily jumpered with a screwdriver or other piece of metal, places IC1 in the programming mode and lights LED1. The source and object code are available on the Gernsback BBS (516-293-2283, v.32, v.42bis) as a file called IREC.ZIP for those who wish to program their own PICs and have the proper equipment to do so.   (View)

IR_LOCAL_TALK_LINK_RECEIVER

Published:2009/7/14 8:13:00 Author:May

A low-noise (2 pA /√Hz),high-bandwidth (7 MHz) current-to-voltage converter formed by the preamplifier and its associated components transforms the reverse current from an external photodiode to a voltage. Although the 7-MHz bandwidth of the prearnp supports 4-Mbit data rates, a low-pass filter on the preamp output is used to reduce the bandwidth to just the required amount in order to reduce noise. As shown, capacitance CF1 sets the break frequency of an ac high-pass loop around the preamp to 180 kHz. This loop rejects unwanted ambient light, including sunlight and light from incandescent and fluorescent lamps. The preamp stage is followed by two separate channels, each containing a high-impedance filter buffer, two gain stages, high-pass loops, and a comparator. The only difference between the two channels is the response time of the comparators: 25 and 60 ns. For the 125-ns pulses of IR LocalTalk, the 25-ns comparator with its active pull-up output is used. The low-frequency comparator with its open collector output (with 5 kΩ internal pull-up) is suitable for more modest speeds, such as the 1.6-ps pulses or the IrDA-SIR. Each gain path has an ac coupling loop similar to the one on the preamp. Capacitance CF5 sets the high-pass comer at 140 kHz for IR LocalTalk. The loops serve the additional purpose here of maintaining an accurate threshold for the comparators by forcing the dc level of the differential gain stages to zero. As the preamp output is brought out and the inputs to the two comparator channels are buffered, the user is free to construct the exact filter required for the application by the careful selection of external components. RF1,CF2,CF3,RF4,CF4, and RF3 form a bandpass filter with a center frequency of 3.5 MHz and 3-dB points of 1 MHz and 12 MHz. Together with the high-pass ac loop in the preamp and the 7-MHz response of the preamp, this forms an optimal filter response for IR LocalTalk.   (View)
