INFRARED_ALARM_RECEIVER

Published:2009/7/14 7:33:00 Author:May

The full circuit diagram for the infrared receiver is given here. TR1 is a phototransistor, and it is used in a common-emitter amplifier. However, no bias current is fed to the base (b) terrrtinal of TR1.The collector (c) current is governed by the light level received by TR1. The higher the received light level, the higher the current flow. The pulses of infrared from the transmitter therefore produce pulses of leakage current through TR1, which give small negative pulses at TR1's collector. The output signal for TR1's collector is coupled by capacitor C2 to a high-gain inverting amplifier based on IC1. Resistors R2 and R5 ire the negative-feedback network, and these set the closed-loop voltage gain of IC1 at 220 times. Capacitor C4 couples the amplified output signal from IC1 pin 6 to a conventional half-wave rectifier and smoothing circuit (D1, D2, and C5). Germanium, rather than silicon, diodes are used in the rectifier, because germanium types have a lower forward voltage drop.This gives slightly improved sensitivity. The positive dc signal developed across capacitor C5 drives the base of TR2, which is a simple common-emitter switch that controls the relay RLA coil.   (View)

CASSETTE_INTERFACE_WITH_ACIA

Published:2009/7/14 7:31:00 Author:May

Permits use of audio pickup for mass storage in Motorola 6800 microcomputer system. Uses Motorola MC6850 asynchronous communication interface adapter (ACIA), which is specialized version of UART. All control, status, and data transfers in ACIA are made over single 8-bit bidirectional bus. Request-to-send line (RTS) controls tape recorder motor. When RTS is set high, input to IC8 is high and relay coil is not energized. IC6 gives 5-s delay following motor turn-on so long leader will be recorded at mark frequency. IC7 gives delay so reading starts 2.5 s before first data byte. Article covers circuit operation in detail and gives operating subroutines.-J. Hemenway.

VARIABLE_FREQUENCY_UP_TO_05_MHz

Published:2009/7/15 2:33:00 Author:Jessie

Frequency is determined by choice of values for C and frequency-control potentiometer R4.Square-wave output has almost equal mark-space ratio over wide frequency range. Regenerative action is rapid, reducing transition times. When circuit is switched on, C is uncharged and Tr2 is on. C charges until Tr1 begins to conduct, cutting off Tr2 and discharging C through R4 until Tr1 cuts off and cycle repeats.-J.L.

MONO_CORDLESS_HEADPHONE_IR_TRANSMITTER

Published:2009/7/14 7:30:00 Author:May

The preemphasis is applied by IC1, which is basically just an op amp used in the noninverting mode. At low and middle frequencies, the impedance of capacitor C3 is high in relation to the resistance of R3. Consequently, there is virtually 100 percent negative feedback through resistor R3, and IC1 has a closed-loop gain of little more than unity. At higher frequencies, the impedance of C3 is relatively low, and a significant proportion of the feedback through R3 is decoupled. This gives a closed-loop voltage gain that steadily rises with increased input frequency, with almost 20 dB of gain being provided at the highest audio frequencies. Resistor R4 limits the closed-loop voltage gain of IC1 at frequencies above the audio range. The low-pass filter is a conventional third-order (18 dB/octave) type based on IC2. This filter gives fractionally less than the full 20-kHz audio bandwidth, but does not significantly impair the quality of the input signal. A CMOS “micropower” PLL is used for IC3, but, in this circuit, only the VCO stage is utilized. No connections are made to any of the other sections of IC3. The output of IC2 is direct-coupled to the control input of the VCO (IC3 pin 9). Capacitor C7 and resistor R8 are the VCO timing components, and they set the center frequency at roughly 100 kHz. Transistor TR1 is a high-gain power Darlington device, which is used here as an emitter-follower buffer stage. This can easily source the 500-mA ON current of the LEDs. A bank of five LEDs is used, and each one has a separate current-limiting resistor (R9 to R13).   (View)

INFRARED_ALARM_TRANSMITTER

Published:2009/7/14 7:28:00 Author:May

The circuit diagram for the infrared transmitter appears in this figure. The oscillator uses IC1 as a relaxation oscillator. Capacitor C2 and resistor R4 are the timing components, and they are connected between the output of IC1 and its inverting input (pin 2). A roughly square-wave signal is generated at pin 6, the output of IC1. This signal is used to drive infrared LED D1, via emitter-follower buffer-stage transistor TR1 and current-limiter resistor R5. The specified value for R5 sets the LED current at nearly 100 mA, but as the LED is switched off for about 50 percent of the time, the average LED current is a little under 50 mA. This is the maximum acceptable drive current for most normal infrared LEDs.   (View)

IR_REMOTE_TESTER

Published:2009/7/14 7:25:00 Author:May

This remote handset tester is very useful and convenient, and could quickly pay for itself by helping to recover faulty remote handsets. Pulsed infrared light generated by the handset falls upon D1, which creates a pulse waveform across R1. This is capacitively coupled to the base of TR1, and an amplified signal is coupled to C2 to a pulse-stretching circuit based around TR2, C3, and associated components. Hence, driver transistor TR3 conducts and illuminates the LED D2 whenever infrared light is received by D1. A functional remote controller with fresh batteries will operate the tester from approximately 500 mm, while one with nearly exhausted batteries may work over only a few centimeters. Coincidentally, the design also self-tests its own battery by giving an initial flash of D1 when the switch S1 is first closed. The IR photodiode should be roughly a 940-nm type, while the types of the transistors themselves are not crucial. The circuit will operate from a 6- to 12-V rail (e.g., a 12-V battery), and C4 decouples the power supply rails.   (View)
