AUTO_SIGNAL_MINDER

Published:2009/7/13 5:30:00 Author:May

If the ignition is on and the parking lights are on or off, the noninverting input of U1 is at 8 V and the inverting input is either 0 or 4 V. That causes pin 6 to go high, keeping the buzzer off. If the ignition is off and the parking lights are on, the noninverting input is at 0 V and the inverting input is at 4 V. That brings pin 6 low, activating the buzzer. With the ignition and turn signal on and the parking lights on or off, the noninverting input is at 8 V and the inverting input pulses at 12 V, causing the buzzer to sound in step with the blinker.   (View)

FET_FOR_AGC

Published:2009/7/16 2:42:00 Author:Jessie

Uses 2N2498 fet as variable-emitter resistor in common-emitter transistor amplifier. Low-current 2N3328 is used to supply constant emitter bias current and have very light dynamic loading on emitter for maximum agc range. Since variable resistor is capacitor-coupled to emitter of transistor, there is no change in bias current when strong agc voltage is suddenly applied. Absence of transient thump makes circuit desirable for broadcast speech compressors.-L. J. Sevin, Jr., Field-Effect Transistors, McGraw-Hill, N.Y., 1965, p 78.   (View)

AUTOMATIC_VEHICLE_DOOR_UNLOCK_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/13 5:26:00 Author:May

When the ignition switch is on, the +12V and IGN lines connected to the circuit are within half a volt or so of each other. Resistor R3 reverse-biases Darlington Q2 and keeps it cut off. Transistor Q1 is in parallel with Q2's emitter and collector; Q1 is ON as a result of the large voltage drop across Q2's emitter and collector. When the ignition switch is turned off, voltage is removed from the IGN line, effectively placing R5 at ground level. Capacitor C1 provides a path for current to flow through R3 to R5 and the vehicle components to ground. That flow will forward-bias Q2, driving it into saturation and lowering its emitter/collector voltage to less than 0.5 V. As a result, almost full battery voltage is applied to the vehicle unlock relay; transistor Q1 is cut off at the same time. The voltage divider of R3 and R4 prevents false triggering during voltage sags on the IGN line.   (View)

SCANNING_ADAPTER

Published:2009/7/13 5:22:00 Author:May

Developed for use with 2-meter transceiver having frequency synthesizer to provide automatic scanning that is disabled when transmitting and when receiver squelch is opened by transmission on one of channels being scanned. Will hang on to channel about 5 s after scanning is disabled, to allow starting of other side of communication. Scan rate is about 250 ms per channel. U1A generates 0 output when squelch is open, producing output of 1 for U1B that disables oscillator U1C-U1D, Oscillator drives D flip-flop that turns on Q1 and Q2 alternately. When Q1 is on, LED1 is lit to indicate that secondary channel is enabled, Article covers method of increasing number of scanned channels.-B.

END_OF_TRANSMISSION_BEEPER

Published:2009/7/13 5:21:00 Author:May

Release of push-to-talk (PTT) switch at end of radio conversation activates time delay for antenna changeover relay, keeping transmitter on air long enough to transmit 800-Hz tone burst indicating transmission termination. Tone is generated in simple one-transistor phase-shift oscillator powered by voltage present between PTT terminal and ground in receive mode of transceiver, which may be any voltage between 6 and 30 VDC. Transistor can be any small-signal NPN silicon with gain of at least 300 at 1 mA, such as 2N930. Parts marked with asterisk must be matched within 5%.-E.

MILLIOHM_TESTER

Published:2009/7/16 2:40:00 Author:Jessie

The milliohm adapter circuit is powered from a 9-V battery. A resistor to be tested (RX) is connected across banana jacks J1 and J2, and a pair of banana plugs, connected directly to J1 and J2, is plugged into the voltage input jacks of a DMM. Switch S1 applies battery power to 7806 voltage regulator IC1. Capacitor C1 removes voltage transients. Resistors R1 and R2 form a voltage divider for the GROUND pin of IC1. Potentiometer R2 trims IC1's output voltage to exactly 6 Vdc. Potentiometer R3 sets the output current through RX, to 100mA. Because R3 is a relatively large resistance compared to RX, the error introduced by different values of RX, (1 mΩ to 1Ω), the effect it will have on the 100-mA current source, is below 2 percent.   (View)
