5_AND±12_V_ac_POWERED_SWITCHING_SUPPLY

Published:2009/7/16 1:54:00 Author:Jessie

This supply uses an SGS-Thomson UC3842 IC in an off-line flyback regulator, providing + 5 V at 4 A and± 12 V at 300 mA. This enables a small high-frequency (50 kHz) transformer, to handle large amounts of power that are normally handed by a 60-Hz transformer. Q1 is a 5-A 500-V MOSFET, and the diodes are fast-recovery types. T1 has a 45-turn primary winding of #26 wire. The 12-V windings are each 9 turns of #30 wire, bifilar wound. The 5-V winding is 4 turns of four bifilar #26 wires. The control (feed-back) winding is two bifilar, parallel10-turn, #30 windings. The core is Ferroxcube EC35-3C8 with a 3/8 center leg.   (View)

COLD_CATHODE_FLUORESCENT_LAMP_DRIVER

Published:2009/7/13 20:55:00 Author:May

In this circuit, the lamp is driven sinusoidally, minimizing RF emissions in sensitive portable applications. Lamp intensity is controlled smoothly from zero to full brightness with no hysteresis or pop on. This floating bulb circuit configuration extends the illumination range for the bulb because parasitic bulb-to-display-frame capacitive losses are minimized. The feedback signal is generated by monitoring the primary-side Royer converter current between the BAT and Royer pins. The LT1184F current-mode switching regulator and L2 provide an average current to Q1 and Q2, which form a Royer-class converter along with L1 and C1. The lamp is driven by L1's secondary. Feedback to the LT1184F is provided on the primary side of L1 for floating bulb configurations, whereas feedback in the grounded configuration is provided by sensing one-half of the average bulb current. The oscillator frequency is 200 kHz, which minimizes the size of the required magnetics.   (View)

THYRISTOR_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/13 20:52:00 Author:May

When circuit of conventional P-gate thyristor is grounded by switch, negative-going pulse is applied to thyristor cathode, which reverse-biases the diode. When thyristor conducts, diode is forward-biased and has only about 0.7-V drop. Use low-voltage diode, rated for full load current. Opening of relay contacts makes circuit switch off.-R. V.

VOLTAGE_SENSITIVE_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/13 20:42:00 Author:May

RCA 40527 triac is triggered by small neon. After breakdown occurs bidirectionally at 88 V, triac takes over as short-circuit. D1 can be any other voltage breakdown device, such as diac or zener, and thyristor can be used in place of triac to give unilateral switching. Applications include use as power crowbar, with breakdown level set by artificial resistance-controlled zener.-L. A.

PERFECT_AC_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/13 20:39:00 Author:May

Developed for use in computdrized equipment to prevent generation of severe noise spikes if contact closure can occur at any point in AC cycle. Closing S1 gates solid-state relay SSR1, which noiselessly switches load at next zero crossing. During this time, C2 charges through R2, After time T = 3R2C2, MJE800 Darlington is turned on, pulling in relay K1 to follow up SSR1 with hard contacts.When S1 is later opened, K1 drops out immediately but C1 discharges through gate of SSR1 to hold it on for about T = 6R1C1. Load is then switched off at next zero crossing after this delay.-E. Woodward, This Circuit Switches AC Loads the Clean Way, EDN Magazine, Nov. 20, 1975, p 160 and 162.   (View)
