PULSE_FREQUENCY_MODULATED_RECEIVER

Published:2009/7/17 2:31:00 Author:Jessie

This receiver uses an IR-sensitive phototransistor (Clairex, HP, etc.) mounted in a light-tight enclosure with an aperture for the incoming IR beam. An optical system can be used with this receiver for increased range. A 741 amplifies the pulsed IR signal and a 565 PLL FM demodulator recovers the audio, which drives an LM386 audio amplifier and speaker.   (View)

SIMPLE_CIRCUIT_TO_DISCONNECT_LOAD_FROM_BATTERY

Published:2009/7/17 2:31:00 Author:Jessie

To prevent battery damage, the circuit disconnects the load at a predetermined level of load voltage. This level (Vtrip, closely proportional to the battery voltage) is determined by R1 and R2 so that the voltage at pin 3 of IC1 equals 1.15 V: Vtrip = 1.15 V(R1 + R2) /R1 The allowed range for Vtrip is 2 V to 16.5 V. The load-battery connection remains open until the system receives a manual reset command. Pressing Reset (or pulling pin 3 above 1.15 V with a transistor) reconnects the load after the battery is recharged or replaced. Battery drain with the load disconnected is only 5 μA, so the circuit can remain in that state for an extended period without causing a deep discharge of the battery. Choose Q1 for a minimal voltage drop (source to drain) at the required load current.   (View)

TRANSIENT_SWITCH_SIGNAL_SUPPRESSOR

Published:2009/7/17 2:30:00 Author:Jessie

The figure shows a circuit that delays the transmission of a switch-opening or switch-closing signal until after a preset suppression time. The circuit is used to prevent the transmission of an undesired momentary switch signal. For example, a pressure switch that is meant to be held steadily on or off by a given static pressure in a piping system can also be actuated momentarily by a transient overpressure (sometimes called water hammef') or underpressure caused by the sudden closure or opening of a valve. The basic mode of operation is simple. The beginning of the switch signal initiates a timing sequence. If the switch signal persists after the preset suppression time, then this circuit transmits the switch signal to the external circuitry. If the switch signal is no longer present after the suppression time, then the switch signal is deemed to be transient, and this circuit does not pass the signal on to the external circuitry. From the perspective of the external circuitry, it is as though there were no transient switch signal. The suppression time is preset at a value large enough to allow for the damping of the underlying pressure wave or other mechanical transient.   (View)

SIMPLE_LOW_FREQUENCY_V_F_CONVERTER

Published:2009/7/11 5:28:00 Author:May

In this circuit, C1 is charged to a fixed reference level, then discharged. Integrator IC1 circuit charges C1 until IC1 has -6.2-V output, when comparator IC2 outputs a low. FET Q1, triggers one-section monostable multivibrator IC3, pulls pin 3 1ow for 470 μs, ensuring that Q1 completely discharges C1. The other section of IC3 produces a longer pulse of about 47 ms.Full scale of this circuit is 10 Hz. For lower output pulse rates, a counter circuit can be inserted between the sections of IC3. Notice that because C1 does not integrate while Q1 is biased on, this circuit has an error in the output period, which must be as short as possible. Therefore, the circuit's use is limited to low frequencies.   (View)

REVERSED_POWER_SUPPLY_PROTECTOR_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/17 2:29:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit is designed to sense a power-supply output (to other circuitry) and detect a reversed-polarity condition. The circuit consists of a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) decoder (CD4555B), which monitors the output of an external power supply for proper polarity. If the power-supply polarity is incorrect, the CD4555B detects that condition and triggers a 2N5060 SCR (Q1). After triggering, the SCR supplies current to a relay (K1), which, upon activation, changes the external power-supply connections (to the external circuitry) to the correct polarity and illuminates a light-emitting diode (LED) to provide a visual warning of the polarity-reversal condition. After the reversed-polarity condition is remedied, pressing the contact switch (S1) momentarily will reset the circuit to its original state. In its present configuration, the circuit can accommodate standard positive power supplies with dc voltages of +5, +10, + 12, and + 15 V. The decoder was designed to operate at these different voltages. With some modifications, the circuit can monitor and correct anomalous power-supply outputs from +3 V, +28 V, or negative-polarity power supplies, or voltages that are either too high or too low.   (View)

POPCORN_NOlSE_TESTER

Published:2009/7/11 5:27:00 Author:May

Developed at Intersil to test opamps for erratic low-frequency jumps between two or more stable states. After start-up switch S is closed, pass/fail lamps are inhibited by Q3. At end of preselected test time (typically 5 s), one of lamps will come on. If output from difference amplifier exceeds preset fail level at inverting input of comparator during test period, fail lamp is turned on by Q2. Q4 prevents triggering of latch by spurious signals after end of test time.-T. P. Rigoli, IC Op Amps, EDNMagazine, May 1, 1971, p 23-33.   (View)

LONGWAVE_TRF_TUNER

Published:2009/7/17 2:29:00 Author:Jessie

This TRF tuner was intended for reception of Radio 4 AM broadcast signals in the United Kingdom on 198 kHz, with the best possible audio fidelity. It can be used as an IF amplifier or for reception of LW or MW AM broadcasts in other areas. The aerial wire is directly connected, via SK1, to the input tuned circuit (coil L1 and capacitors VC1 and C3) via a small-value capacitor C1. The second tuned circuit (L2, VC2, and C8) is similarly connected to the output from transistor TR2. The output from transistor TR3 is taken to the op-amp demodulator (IC1a) and also, via capacitor C9, to the diode-pump circuit D1/D2. The pump is used to generate a small negative AGC. For AM detection, if a diode is used as the rectifier, the tuner will not work very well on input volt-ages less than 0.5V peak. However, if a pair of diodes are hooked around an op amp, IC1a, as shown in the figure, the rectification threshold is reduced to a few millivolts, which increases the demodulator sensitivity by a few hundred times. The other half of the dual op amp, IC1b, is a straight AP amplifying stage, whose gain is adjustable by potentiometer VR1. Resistor R13 and capacitor C10, on its noninverting input (pin 5), act as a simple RE filter to remove any residual 198-kHz signal voltage from the audio output.   (View)

SIMPLE_CROWBAR_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/17 2:27:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit uses a zener diode and an SCR. When the supply voltage exceeds the zener break-down voltage plus the gate turn-on voltage of the SCR, current flows in the gate circuit, turning on the SCR and effectively shorting the supply. A fuse is generally placed in the supply line; it is designed to blow when the SCR fires, protecting and shutting down the supply.   (View)
