ZERO_CROSSING_HIGH_POWER

Published:2009/7/14 2:07:00 Author:May

AC relay uses MFC8070 zero-voltage switch to provide gate current pulses for triac under control of differential input voltages derived from output of 4N28 optoisolator. When LED is off, voltage at pins 1 and 2 of switch is positive with respect to pin 3, inhibiting switch so no current pulses go to mac gate. When LED is energized by logic input, gate current pulses are generated at zero-voltage excursions of AC power source. Transistor ensures adequate gate drive at low temperatures. For normally-on configuration,interchange input connections 3 and 1-2 of switch. Triac can be selected to handle resistive loads from 4 to 40 A.-T.

BATTERY_IMPEDANCE_MEASURER

Published:2009/7/14 2:05:00 Author:May

By applying an ac voltage superimposed on a ten times larger negative dc voltage (at VFG), the function generator determines the battery current drawn by Q1 (see the figure). The generator voltage causes the op-amp (IC2) output to go high and turn Q1 on, which allows battery current to flow through the high-side current-sensing amplifier (IC1). The output current of IC1, on pin 8, is equal to 1/2000 of this battery current. As a result, IC1, IC2, and Q1 form a loop in which the op amp forces a virtual ground at the IC1/IC2 end of R3. The op amp's extremely low-voltage offset (10 μV maximum) ensures accuracy. This virtual-ground condition enables the voltage divider (R5, and R3 in parallel with R4) and the function generator to determine the voltage across R3. The resulting current in R3 is iR3 = RP X VFG/【(RP+R5)R3】, where RP is the parallel combination of R3 and R4. Substituting resistor values and noting that battery current (iB) is 2000 times iR3,iB=-VFG/5.To operate the circuit, set the function generator's ac voltage to approximately 10 percent of its dc component. The equation then gives the resulting ac current in the battery (iB). Using an ac voltmeter, you can measure the ac voltage across the battery (vB) and calculate the average cell impedance as vB/NiB, where N is the number of cells. The circuit easily accommodates battery voltages of 3 V or more.   (View)

GEIGER_COUNTER_TO_IBM_INTERFACE

Published:2009/7/14 2:01:00 Author:May

The simplest way to connect a Geiger counter to the IBM computer is to use a headphone jack to the parallel port. The headphone jack provides a +5- to 0-V pulse for each radioactive particle detected. The signal from the Geiger counter is +5 V. When radiation is detected, the signal pulses down to 0 V for a few milliseconds before returning to +5 V. Even though the signal is in the 0- to +5-V range, it is not safe to connect wires from an external circuit or instrument directly to the parallel-port lines without buffering. The op amp operates from a single-pole +5-V power supply. In this particular case, invert the signal from the Geiger counter. Because the pulse signals are +5 to 0 V, we do not require any amplification from our op amp. Therefore, the op arnp is configured as an inverting unity-gain follower. Remember that the Geiger counter outputs a steady +5V through the headphone jack. When it detects radiation, the output pulses down to 0 V for a few milliseconds. By inverting the Geiger counter signal with the op amp, the computer reads a steady 0 V on its line and a +5-V pulse when radiation is detected.   (View)
