SELF_STARTING_COUNTER

Published:2009/7/13 4:09:00 Author:May

Addition of three Iogic elements eliminates need for separate starting switch when using National MM5736 calculator chip as counter driving LED display. When reset switch is returned to normal posi-tion after pushing it to clear calculator, addi-tional parts serve to generate delayed pulse that gates digit output 2 into calculator and thus enters a 1. This action resets counter with single manual operation. -M. Watts, Calculator Chip Makes a Counter, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA, 1974, AN-112, p 4.   (View)

MAXIMUM_ACCELERATION_RECORDING_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/16 4:27:00 Author:Jessie

The circuit (see figure) includes three 9 V batteries,one of which supplies the 9 V needed by the circuit,and all of which supply the 27V needed by the accelerometer Power is supplied to the accelerometer through field－effect diode D1,which regulates the accelerometer current to keep it In the range of 2 to 4mA. The accelerometer puts out an ac signal that peaks at a full-scale value of 5V when the ac component of acceleration reaches 50g(where g denotes normal Earth gravitation)The acceleration signal is coupled through C1 and D2 into C2,which retains the peak value for a short time The signal is fed through potentiometer R1 to the input terminal(pin 5) of a 10-level display driver,LM3914,that has equally spaced levels,each representing 5g, or of a similar circuit,LM3915,that has logarithmically spaced levels,with each succeeding level representing division of the next higher level by a factor of √2 (3 dB/step) Depending on the level of the input signal,the display driver energizes one of its ten output lines,each of which IS connected to one of ten 2-mA transparent-cap microfuses plugged into a module,If the fuse on a lineis still intact,then when that line is energized,the driver delivers a current of 10 mA, blowing the fuse The fuses can be inspected visually or electrically at any convenient time thereafter to determine which (if any) has blown、thereby determining what level of acceleration was reached.   (View)

VOLUME_UNIT_DISPLAY_AND_ALARM

Published:2009/7/13 4:09:00 Author:May

This circuit uses two audio amplifiers, one for a microphone and one for a stereo input, to drive an LED bar-graph display, rather than a meter. When the input exceeds a certain level, an LED (#8 in this circuit) will light and also cause an alarm buzzer or some other signal to actuate. A switch is provided for source selection.   (View)

HIGH_INTENSITY_LED_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/13 4:08:00 Author:May

The forward voltage for high-intensity LEDs (1.5 to 2.5 V) is too large for operation with one-cell batteries. The circuit shown overcomes this limitation with a boost-regulator technique-it drives controlled current pulses through the LED, regardless of the LED's forward voltage, and operates on input voltages from 6.2 V to below 1 V. The circuit is useful for bicycle lights, beacons, alarms, flashlights, and low-power indicators. IC1 is normally part of a regulated boost converter, but, in this case, it simply transfers energy without regulating the output. Omission of the usual rectifier and output filter capacitor makes the circuit compact, as does the high switching frequency (about 175 kHz).Programming resistor R1 sets the LED intensity by setting a peak current for the inductor and LED.A 10-kΩ value for R1 sets the approximate peak at 75 mA, and the average LED current at about 26 mA. A shutdown command tums off the OUT terminal completely, even if cell voltage exceeds the LED's forward voltage, by turning off the diode internal to IC1. (During shutdown, most step-up converters exhibit a troublesome dc path from the battery through the coil and diode to the load.) This circuit draws about 8 μA during shutdown and about 60 mA during normal operation. It operates for 35 hours continuously on one AA (or R4 size) alkaline cell.   (View)

WELDER_BATIERY_CHARGER

Published:2009/7/16 4:22:00 Author:Jessie

During overnight charging of battery used to maintain equal-amplitude output current pulses for welder, circuit senses whether battery voltage is above or below required value for load current of 1 amp. If low, one-shot timer is actuated, to charge battery for preset interval. Voltage is then measured again, and charging repeated if necessary. If voltage is too high, load remains on until battery voltage drops to point where charger is actuated again.-F. T. Marcellino and A. A.
