RESET_MODE

Published:2009/7/12 21:41:00 Author:May

RCA CA555 timer is connected so CT is initiallyheld in discharged stata bytransistor in IC. When start switch is closed, internal flip-flop clears short across CT, driving output voltage high and energizing relay. Voltage across capacitor then increases exponentially with time constant R1CT. When capacitor voltage equals two-thirds of V+, flip-flop resets and discharges capacitor rapidly, driving output low and releasing relay. Timing interval is relatively independent of supply voltage variations. Applying negative pulse simultaneously to reset pin 4 and trigger pin 2 by closing both switches during timing cycle causes timing cycle to restart. Momentary closing of reset switch only serves to discharge CT without restarting timer. - Linear Integrated Circuits and MOS/ FET's, RCA Solid State Division, Somerville, NJ, 19-l7, p 56.   (View)

RS232_TEST_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/12 21:40:00 Author:May

The tester is basically a window comparator, in which the low and high levels are set at +3.0 V and -3.0 V, respectively, by resistors R2, R3, and R4. Resistor R1, when not driven by an RS232 output, will have a low voltage across it (approximately 0 V), and the LED D1 at the output of the comparators is turned off. If the unknown wire of the cable that is tested is an RS232 output, then it will drive the in point to avoltage either between +3 and +12Vor between -3 and -12 V. In both cases, one of the two comparator outputs will be driven low. This turns the LED on, indicating the presence of a wire connected to an,RS232 output. The comparator should be an LM339 type or equivalent (with an open-collector output). The disadvantage of this scheme is that the thresholds are very sensitive to the supply variations. To eliminate this problem, the thresholds at the inputs of the comparators can be created using the normal forward drop on a simple diode and then be brought to the necessary leyels by IC1 (+3 V at its output) and IC2 (a simple inverter).   (View)

WINDOW_COMPARATORS

Published:2009/7/12 21:39:00 Author:May

In Fig. 104-3(a), when YIN is between reference voltages VL and VU, output VOUT goes low. If VIN ＞VL IC2 produces a low. Because IC1 outputs low, if VIN＞VU, both outputs are low and VOUT is low. If VIN<VL both IC1 and IC2 are low. Figure 104-3(b) operates the reverse of this; it produces a high when VL<VIN < VU.   (View)

BATTERY_SWlTCH_OFF

Published:2009/7/12 21:39:00 Author:May

Can be added to any battery-operated device to eliminate unnecessary running down of costly batteries when someone forgets to tum switch off manually. Circuit shown gives operating time of about 10 hours ,permitting use of equipment for full working day without interruption. Normal operation can be restored after shut-off byturning manual switch off and then on again. When circuit has switched off, only battery drain is current through 10-megohm resistor R1 and leakage through transistors. Time of switch-off can be changed by altering C2 or R7. Tr1 and Tr2 are 2N4061, BC478, or similar PNP silicon; Tr3 is 2N3053, BC142, or similar medium-power NPN silicon; Tr4 and Tr5 are 2N3819; D1 is any small silicon diode; R6 is 4.7K for 9-V or 12-V battery, and 10K for 15-V to 27-V battery. R2 is chosen to suit working current and battery voltage; suitable value is 15Vb/Iout.-D, T. Smith, Automatic Battery Switch-Off Circuit, Wireless World, April 1976, p 76.   (View)

THREE_WIRE_RS232_TO_RS485_CONVERTER

Published:2009/7/12 21:39:00 Author:May

This circuit needs only a minimal three-wire RS232 implementation plus one +10-to +15-V supply voltage to provide a transparent link capable of sending data at transmission rates up to tens of kbaud Circuit operation is as follows∶When both the 232 and the 485 are idle(232 port in MARK state and no 485 device active),the 485 link is held in the 1 state by the 1200-Ω pullup This causesthe top comparator to hold the 232 RCD line negative and therefore in MARK state When a character is transmitted by the 232 port,it begins with a positive-going (SPACE state) START bit on the TXD line,In response, the 2N4401 pulls the - 485 conductor more positive than the + wlre,thustransmitting the START down the 485 cable Meanwhile,the bottom comparator holds the wlre-or (LM393s have opencollector outputs)232 RCD low, blocking the ooodJt port from hearing its own transmission．The recelve side ofthe 232 port remalns idle The rest ofthe bits ofthe character follow along in the same fashion When a character originates somewhere along the 485 bus,it beginswith a 485 transceiver gong active and driving the － line above the + This causes the upper half of the LM393 comparator to release RCD,and this time the bottom comparator doesn't prevent it from being pulled high The data bits are thus allowed to arrlve at the RS232 port,where they appearat standard RS232 bipolar voltage levels,The commonmode voltage range and noise-rejection capabilities of this circuit are compatible with standard 485 specifications The converter's speed is mainly limited by the loading of the comparator outputs because of cable capacitance.   (View)

CASCADED_TIMER

Published:2009/7/12 21:34:00 Author:May

Two NE555 timers give sequential timing intervals for two separate loads.Time for U1 is set by R1 and C1, and for U2 by R2 and C2. Grounding pin 2 momentarily with switch starts timing. Once started, it cannot be retriggered. With pin 2 connected to reset input 4, both functions are obtained with one push of switch, lf reset function is not wanted, connect 4 to 8. When pin 3 of U1 goes low at end of timing interval, negative pulse generated by 0.001-μF capacitor and 27K resistor goes to pin 2 of U2 to trigger second timer. With 15-V supply, each timer can handle 200-mA load.-H. Vordenbaum, Automatic Reset Timer, Ham Radio, Oct. 1974, p 50-51.   (View)

RS232_TO_PARALLEL_DATA_CONVERTER

Published:2009/7/12 21:28:00 Author:May

A simple serial decoder circuit based on a 6402 UART (IC1) is shown in the figure. The RS232C input signal is at signal levels of about ±12 V; these must be converted to standard 5-V logic levels before being applied to the serial input of IC1. A simple commonemitter switching stage based on transistor TR1 is used to provide the conversion to normal logic levels, and it also produces the necessary inversion of the input signal. Resistor R4 and capacitor C1 provide IC1 with a positive reset pulse at switch-on. The inputs at pins 35 to 39 program the word format; the method of connection shown in the figure provides a format on 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. Pin 34 is connected to the +5-V rati so that the binary pattem on pins 35 to 39 is loaded into IC1's control register. The decoded bytes of parallel data are available at pins 5 to 12, and pin 4 is connected to the 0 V rail so that these outputs are permanently enabled. In a stand-alone application, the tristate capability of these outputs is not of great value, but, if necessary, this facility can be utilized by applying a control signal to pin 4 of IC1.   (View)

LOW_COST_WINDOW_COMPARATOR

Published:2009/7/12 21:27:00 Author:May

This circuit outputs a TTL-compatible 100-μs pulse whenever the signal falls within the limits set by potentiometers and can be varied to suit the application.Op amps, E, D, and C are used with the two potentiometers to supply reference voltages, derived from a 1-V precision source, for two other op amps (A and B) configured as voltage comparators. The input signal is taken to the negative inputs of both these comparators. C is wired as a noninverting surnming amp, used to derive the higher reference voltage. Consequently, the acceptance window is set. Because the voltage across potentiometer P2 is 0.5V, the window can be set between 0 and 0.5 V above the value chosen for the lower reference value. The lower value is set by P1.The outputs from the comparators are sent to the inputs of inverting Schmitt triggers F and G. Although these triggers operate from a 5-V supply, they have an extended input-voltage range and are capable of handling the comparator's output voltage swings.The two monostables, J and K, are triggered on the rising edge of the Schmitt outputs. J and K set and reset the bistable latch formed by two NOR gates. Latch output Q controls the reset of outputmonostable L, which can only be triggered if its B input goes low, taken from the output of G, while its reset is high.From the timing diagram, when the signal input exceeds the lower reference level, the latch is set and Q goes high. When the higher reference level is exceeded, the latch is reset and Q goes low. If only the lower reference is exceeded, the latch will be set and L is triggered when G's output goes low. When both levels are exceeded, the latch is set, then reset. When G's output goes low, it won't trigger the monostable because its reset is low.The circuit, as shown, was used for a bandwidth-limited, 500- to 5000 Hz input signal with an amplitude range of ±1 V. Modifications can easily be made to cover other frequency and amplitude ranges.   (View)
