DIODE_STABILIZED_BIAS

Published:2009/7/13 4:16:00 Author:May

Posilive shunt feedback cancels shunt impedance of bitts network and transistor. RE1 is made small to obtain gain of 10; as a result, input impedance is limited to 1.5 meg. Excellent bias stability is obtained. Three diodes compensate for variations in base-emitter voltage of Q1, and negative d.c feedback from RE2 further increases bias stability. Response is flat within 3 db from 100 cps to 500 kc.-Toxas Instruments Inc., Solid-Stale Communications, McGraw-Hill, N.Y., 1966, p 184.   (View)

TOUCH_BUTTONS

Published:2009/7/13 4:16:00 Author:May

Based on detecting skin resistance between two contacts built into each touch button. Contact going to 0 V would normally be metal front panel of control. Any number of sections like that in dashed lines can be cascaded to handle more buttons. A particular button always comes on when power is applied, and is canceled by next button touched. LED identifies button currently activated; use any LED rated at 20 mA. Supply can be 20 to 30 V. Outputs may be used to drive FET analog switches, varactor tuning diodes, or relays.-P. G.

MULTICOLOR_LED_DRIVER

Published:2009/7/13 4:15:00 Author:May

A TLC555 CMOS timer, IC1, is configured as a square-wave generator that has an adjustable time period of about 2 to 7 s. That output drives IC2, a CD4017 CMOS Johnson counter, which provides the six decoded output steps necessary to trigger the three additive and three subtractive primary color combinations. A CD4025 CMOS triple three-input NOR gate, IC3, gates the six outputs to the proper LED current sources, thereby maintaining the correct color-mixing sequence. Four MPSA64 PNP Darlington transistors (Q1 to Q4) are configured as gated current sources, with capacitors C4 to C7 providing long time constants that allow LED1 to LED4 to ramp up and down in intensity. This allows the color changes to be continuous, rather than in six abrupt steps. Power for the circuit is provided by a 5-V supply. Transformer T1 steps down the voltage from a wall outlet to 6.3 Vac, recti-fied by BR1 and regulated by IC1, a 78L05.   (View)

CRT_GRAY_SCALE_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/13 4:13:00 Author:May

Circuit provides digital selection of up to 16 shades of gray for image on screen of cathode-ray tube, as required for different imaging requirements or different photographic films. DMOS FETs provide fast switching times so data rate is limited only by TTL drive circuits. Four bits of digital data stored in 9311 memory are used for selecting desired scale. Output of circuit is used to control beam intensity. Circuit also permits complete video inversion for negative.-K. R.

UP_DOWN_COUNTER

Published:2009/7/13 4:12:00 Author:May

Cascading of 4192 de-cade up/down counters and use of two clocks give fully synchronous system for adding or subtracting count. Both clocks are normally held high. Low on up clock advances count. Low on down clock subtracts 1 from count. Clocking takes place on trailing or positive edge of neg-ative pulse. Parallel loading inputs are used to preset counter to any desired number. -D.

SOUND_CONTROLLED_LAMP

Published:2009/7/13 4:12:00 Author:May

Zero-voltage switching achieves interference-free proportional control of lamp intensity by sound source. Both inputs to AND gate IC15 must be high for triac to tum on. 0ne input is from zero-crossing detector IC1, Tr1,. and IC2, which produces 100-Hz series of positive-going pulses.Other input is provided by filterirectifier/com-parator circuit, Inverting input of comparator IC14, is fed by DAC IC14 which produces stepped ramp waveform from outputs of 7490 counter IC3. Counter is connected to count to 5 before resetting internally, giving five possible brightness levels for lamp. Opamps IC5, and IC6, detect when audio input falls below about 10 mV and then release IC7-IC9, from reset stage so the two 4-bit counters start counting 100-Hz waveform.Resetting occurs again when audio input next passes 10-mV level. Lamp automatcaUy turns on when music stops. All ICs are 741 or equivalent except as marked. Unmarked diodes are 1N4148, C1, and C2 are 100-nF polyester electrolytics, and all transistors are general-purpose types. Resistor values in table are for threechannel system,but more channels can be used if desired.-A. R. Ward, Sound-to Light Unit, Wireless World, July 1978, p 75.   (View)
