SOLID_STATE_TURNOFF_DELAY

Published:2009/7/12 20:45:00 Author:May

Designed for applications where machine must remain energized for certain period of time after some other operation has stopped, as when pump motor must run long enough to dear pipes in chemical plant. When switch is closed, LED of optoisolator is forward-biased and turned on, making photoGCR conduct and provide gate current via MDA920-4 diode bridge fortriac. Values shown keep solid-state relay circuit on for about 5 s after pushbutton is released. Resistor and capacitor values can be changed to obtain different delay.-T.

TOUCH_OPERATED_CODE_PRACTICE_OSCILLATOR

Published:2009/7/12 20:43:00 Author:May

A touch-operated CPO is shown in the figure. The gates of IC1-a are biased high through the two 22-MΩ resistors (R1 and R2), keeping its output low. Gates IC1-b and IC1-c are connected in an audio oscillator circuit that can operate only when pin 5 of IC1-b is high. The last gate of the 4093, IC1-d, adds isolation to the oscillator's circuit and drives the speaker (SPKR1). Touching the key paddle and ground plane lowers IC1-a's input gate voltage to near zero, allowing the output at pin 3 to go high. The tone generator then turns on and sends out an audio note. The touch key paddle and ground plane can be made from a circuit board or any other conductible material. Note that the ground plane should lie flat for a hand rest and the key paddle should be positioned for ease of touch.   (View)

PLL_CODE_PRACTICE_OSCILLATOR

Published:2009/7/12 20:41:00 Author:May

This CPO usesa 567 phase-locked loop, IC1, as the variable tone generator. The oscillator's frequency is set by R6, and the frequency range can be changed by selecting a different-value capacitor for C5. To lower the oscillator's frequency range, make the value of C5 larger, and to increase the frequency range, reduce C5. A general-purpose 2N3906 PNP transistor, Q1, supplies power to the 567 through pin 4 each time that the CW key is closed. Meanwhile, Q2, a general-purpose 2N3904 NPN transistor, buffers the oscillator's output and drives the speaker. Potentiometer R7 sets the output volume.   (View)

ORYSTAL_CONTROLLED_CODE_PRACTICE_TRANSMITTER

Published:2009/7/12 20:39:00 Author:May

When the CW key is closed, IC1-a's output goes high, allowing IC1-b and IC1-c to oscillate. The crystal supplies the feedback path setting the oscillator's operating frequency. The circuit will operate on the 40- and 80-m bands. Section IC1-d isolates the oscillator from the short antenna, ANT1. A clip lead should do here to get the signal out and about for operation. Tune your ham-band receiver to the crystal's frequency and key down. If the receiver doesn't have a CW mode, turn on the BFO and tune for the desired CW tone.   (View)

MORSE_CODE_OSCILLATOR

Published:2009/7/12 20:38:00 Author:May

The circuit is built around a 555 oscillator (IC1) and an LM386 audio amplifier (IC2). The 555 circuit is an astable oscillator, with the chip output retriggering the circuit. When the key (S1) is pressed, it activates the circuit. The 555 oscillates at a frequency determined by R1, R2, and C1. Potentiometer R2 is used to adjust the tone frequency of the oscillator. Some of the output current of IC1 is coupled to IC2 via a 10-°F capacitor, C2, so that it will be sufficient to drive a loudspeaker. Because the circuit has no gain control, the volume depends on the size and wattage of the speaker.   (View)

DIGITAL_VOLUME_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/12 20:37:00 Author:May

The heart of the digitally operated volume control is IC2, a 4067 16-channel analog multiplexer. Depending on the logic state on pins A, B, C, and D of the multiplexer, one of its 16 inputs or outputs is connected to pin 1, which is the wiper of the control. Because a 1-kΩ resistor has been connected between each input and output, the multiplexer can be considered a linear potentiometer with 16 fixed steps. Its overall resistance is 15 kΩ. It is, of course, possible to use a different value for each of the resistors to obtain a different characteristic. The setting of the potentiometer is controlled by counter IC1. Dependent on the position of switch S1, the counter moves one step up or down when switch S1 is changed over. Circuits IC3A and IC3B debounce S2.A jump from 0000 to 1111 or the other way around is not possible, because further count pulses are suppressed with the aid of the CO line. This line is logic low when both the counter state and signal U/D are 0.When U/D is high and the counter state is 15, COagain becomes logic low. It is then necessary to reverse the logic state at U/D, and thus the direction of counting. The volume control draws a current of around 1 mA.   (View)

LOW_POWER_WIDE_SUPPLY_RANGE_CLOCK

Published:2009/7/12 20:34:00 Author:May

This 32-kHz, low-power clock oscillator offers numerous advantages over conventional oscillator circuits based on a CMOS inverter.Many times, 32-kHz oscillators are used to generate a system clock or an auxiliary sleep clock in low-power instruments and microcontrollers. The typical implementation uses a CMOS inverter (74HC04 or CD4049UB type). Inverter circuits present problems, though. Supply currents fluctuate widely over a 3- to 6-V supply range, and currents below 250 μA are difficult to attain. Operation can be unreliable for wide variations in supply voltage. A very low power crystal oscillator solves these problems. Drawing only 13μA from a 3-V supply, it consists of a single-transistor amplifier/oscillator (Q1) and a low-power comparator/reference device (IC1). Q1's base is biased at 1.25V via R5, R4, and the reference in IC1. VBE is about 0.7 V, placing the emitter at approximately 0.5 V. This constant voltage across R3 sets the transistor's quiescent current at 5μA, which fixes the collector voltage at about 1 V below VCC. The amplifier's nominal gain (R1/R2) is approximately 2 V/V The crystal and load capacitors (C1 attd C3) form a feedback path around Q1, whose 180°of phase shift causes the oscillation. C4 couple this singal to the comparator input;the input's quiescent voltage (1.25V) is set by the reference via R2.The comparator's input swing is thus centered around the reference voltage. Operating at 3V and 32 KHz,IC1 draws about 7μA.   (View)

AMMETER_FOR_PRlNTEDCIRCUIT_WIRING

Published:2009/7/12 20:30:00 Author:May

Permits measurement of current in single conductor on board without cutting it. Article gives design of probe having four projecting wires that are pressed on conductor being measured, and describes operation of circuit in detail. Opamp can be 741, but higher-cost 725C will improve performance, When all four wires of probe make contact, voltage drop appears at input of differential amplifier. Outer wires of probe carry current of opposite polarity passing through ammeter; because there is negative feedback loop in conductor, opamp input voltage will return to zero when outgoing current is equal to that of unknown current passing through printed-circuit conductor.-F.

Useful for troub：eshooting and forchecking small-slgnal transistors having no markings Set four-pole five-position rotary switch S2 to SHORT(lowestpostion) before inserting transistor,then flip S1 back and forth，If meter shows any reading at all,reject transistor without further tests，rmeter stays at zero,set S2 to ICBO(conector-base current, emitter open). Discard transistor if reading is high foreither position of S1; modern transistors pass only nanoamperes, but older types may give noticeable reading, particularly if germanium. Repeat test for ICEO (collector-emitter current, base qpen), which should be greater than ICBO by factor approximating curtent gain (beta) of device, Modern silicon transistors may give no reading here. For final beta test, older types show 100 or less and modern transistors like 2N3391 have beta readings between 300 and 400. CR1 is 1N4603.-D.
