FULL_WAVE_RECTIFIER_TO_10_MHz

Published:2009/7/12 21:09:00 Author:May

Using two CA3450 op amps and a CA3227 transistor array, this circuit will accurately full-wave rectify signals to 10 MHz. Two of the CA3227 transistors drive the output, two are in the feedback circuits. Two transistors serve as clamping diodes, limit the negative-going signals of each amplifier, and keep both amplifiers active during the end cycle. The maximum output is determined by the slew rate of 300 V/μs at highest frequencies. This output equals 300 V/ms÷6πV peak.   (View)

HEX_ENCODER_FOR_KEYBOARD

Published:2009/7/12 21:07:00 Author:May

Standard 16-button keyboard is used with CMOS packages to provide hex output bits. Pressing one button increases voltage on its horizontal line from 0 to 2.2 V. If button is in other than first row, OR gate U3 or U4 is activated and either bit 2 or 3 changes from LOW to HIGH. Simultaneously, voltage of vertical column of button decreases from 5 V to 2.2 V. If button is in other than first column, NAND gate U1 or U2 is activated and either bit 0 or 1 changes from LOW to HIGH. OR gates U5 and U6 provide button-pressed signal by changing bit 7 from LOW to HIGH upon activation of any button.-W. H. Hailey, CMOS Logic Implements Keyboard Encoder, EDN Magazine, Aug. 5, 1978, p 54 and 56.   (View)

ULTRA_SIMPLE_RS232_TESTER

Published:2009/7/12 21:05:00 Author:May

The tester consists of no more than a two-color LED (or a red and a green LED connected in anti-parallel) in series with a 1-kΩ resistor. The free ends of the resistor and the LEDs should preferably be terminated in 1-mm plugs. One of the free ends should be covered in green sleeving, or use a green 1-mm plug. This is touched on pin 7 (signal ground) of the connector under test. The other end is touched on each pin to be tested, in turn. The LED (or LED pair) is connected so that a positive voltage emits a red glow and a negative voltage causes a green glow. Sometimes, an RS232 input will be found that has an internally connected pull-up to drive a particular default RS232 level when unconnected. Although this will cause the tester to glow as if the pin were an output, it will do so with markedly less brightness. Bearing this in mind, the tester can be used to diagnose most RS232 problems at the electrical level.   (View)

COMPUTER_SERIAL_PORT_RELAY_CONTROLLER

Published:2009/7/12 21:03:00 Author:May

Decoding RS-232 signais is a job for a microcontroller (single-chip computer). Fortunately, you don't have to program the microcontroller yourself; you can get a PIC 16C54A microcontroller already programmed for exactly this job from Stone Mountain Instruments. Shown is the circuit and the BASIC program to demonstrate how it works. Each SMI101B has eight logic-level outputs.Further, you can connect up to seven SMI101Bs to a single serial port. The three N pins give each SMI101B a distinctive identifying number, from 0 to 6. If all three are grounded, the identifier is 0; if N1 is connected to +5 V, the identifier is 1, etc. At power-up, all the data outputs are off (logic 0). To turn an output on, send a command of the form xNy, where x is the identifier of the SMI101B and y indicates which data output you want to switch, To turn the outputs back off, use an F in place of an N (e.g., OF3). All communication is done with 8 data bits and no parity bits. The baud rate is 9600 baud with a 4-MHz crystal, or 1200 baud with a 500-kHz ceramic resonator. As shown in the diagram, each relay requires a transistor to drive it, along with a resistor and a protective diode. To cut down the total number of components, you can use a relay driver chip, such as the Allegro UDN2987, which contains everything necessary to drive eight small relays from logic-level signals.   (View)

HARMONIC_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/12 21:02:00 Author:May

This circuit can extract harmonics from various waveforms. With a sloped input waveform, the comparator produces a pulse width that is proportional to a reference plus input amplitude. As the pulse width changes, the harmonics spectrum changes. Combining the two comparator outputs eliminates some harmonics, depending on the duty cycle. Adjusting the references can create virtually any harmonic.A1 and A2 should be matched, R1 and R2 should be equal to 0.1%, and A3 should have good common-mode rejection and high slew rate.   (View)

SIGNAL_CONDITIONER

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

This circuit takes audio from a receiver that might have a weak CW or tone signal and uses a PLL (U1) to recover the weak signal. U1 produces a low on receipt of a tone or note of frequency, determined by R1, R7, and C2. The output of U1 (pin 8) goes low, keys tone generator U2, and produces a new tone. The circuit is useful in cleaning up CW reception in static. noise. etc.   (View)

ISOLATED_RS232_INTERFACE

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

Electrical isolation of 1500 V or higher is possible with this cost-effective RS232 interface. It is ideal for various data-communication designs, including medical instrumentation and devices within harsh electrical environments. The interface uses the host's TXD (transmit data), RXD (receive data), DTR (data terminal ready), and RTS (request to send) lines to provide power.For fully duplexed operation, the host's communications port should be set up so that its RTS is off (at negative voltage). Halfduplex operation can use the host's TXD negative voltage, available through D6, to run the circuitry. Sending a low bit (space state) to the host is just the opposite. This time, the required positive voltage is supplied from the host via diodes D2 and D3, and is routed through Q1 and D1 to DB9-2.   (View)

PRINTER_PORT_D_A_CONVERTER

Published:2009/7/12 20:58:00 Author:May

Where eight latching outputs are available, the Ferranti 2N426E probably represents the simplest means of providing an analog output. The figure shows the circuit diagram for a PC analog output port based on this chip. The full-scale output voltage is equal to the reference voltage fed to pin 5. This terminal can be fed from an external reference voltage of up to 3 V, but, in most cases, the built-in 2.55-V reference is perfectly adequate. The output voltage from IC1 (in volts) is equal to the value written to the printer port multiplied by 0.001. In most practical applications, this output-voltage range will have to be modified using an amplifier or an attenuator. In virtually all cases it will be a small amount of amplification that is required. This is the purpose of IC2, which also provides output buffering. The noninverting-mode amplifier IC2 can have its closed-loop voltage gain varied from unity to about 11 times by means of preset VR2.The maxinum output voltage of IC2 is about 2 V less than its supply potential (about 3 V) if it is powered from a 5-V supply. Therefore, maximum output voltages of more than 3 V require IC2 to be powered from a higher supply potential of up to about 30 V. This means using a separate supply for IC2 because the converter circuit must be powered from a 5-V supply. If preset VR1 is included, the best way to find the correct setting is to first write a low value to the port and adjust VR1 for the correct output voltage. Then write a high value to the port and adjust VR2 for the appropriate output voltage. Repeat this process a few times until no further adjustment is needed. If VE1 is omitted, write a value of 255 to the port and then adjust VR2 for the required maximum output voltage. Reasonable accuracy should then be obtained over the full range of output voltages.Using GW BASIC, it is just a matter of writing the values to the appropriate address using the OUT command. For example, OUT &H378,123 would write a value of 123 to a digital-to-analog converter connected to printer port LPT1.   (View)
