HIGH_VOLTAGE_PROBE

Published:2009/7/17 1:56:00 Author:Jessie

This high-voltage probe allows your DMM to take high-voltage measurements to 10,000 V peak, and acts as a high-impedance (100-MΩ) probe for high-impedance circuit testing. The probe was designed to plug into a standard 10-MΩ input DMM. If your DMM has a different input, you can change R3 and R4 to suit it. The ratio of R1 + R2 + R3 + R4 should be exactly 1000 to 1; thus, a 10.00-V in-put will read 10.00 mV on your DMM. Keep in mind that the impedance of your DMM is in parallel with R3/R4 when you calculate new values.   (View)

PB_SWITCH_ACTIVATED_MEMORY

Published:2009/7/17 1:55:00 Author:Jessie

Many new brushless-motor control schemes use ICs that determine the rotor position by sensing the motor's back-BMP signals. In a unipolar configuration, the control chip synchronizes the three phases of drive currents by detecting the moments when each back-EMF signal rises just above, or falls just below, the motor supply voltage, VBATT (see the figure), These instances are known as zero crossings. This circuit shifts the signals down to a reference level, VREF The MOSFET, M1, along with resistor R1 and NPN transistor Q1, creates a reference current (I1) that is equal to (VBATT-VREF)/R1.This reference current is replicated in Q2, Q3, and Q4. Because R2=R3=R4=R1, the voltage drop across each resistor is the same. That means that V2,V3and V4 vary above and below VBATT the same amount as V2,V3,and V4 vary above and below VBATT Matching resistors R1 to R4 within 1 percent and matching R5 to R8 within 1 percent will resolve back-EMF signals as small as 200 mV. Diode D1 protects M1's gate from large transients on VBATT. The ESD diodes on the 551595, along with resistors R2, R3, and R4, protect the IC from damaging transients at V2,V3 and V4.   (View)

WIRELESS_DC_PROBE

Published:2009/7/17 1:55:00 Author:Jessie

This probe for low voltages only (<100 V) uses the body to complete the dc circuit in a novel way. The schematic for the dc voltmeter is shown. Power for the circuit is provided by two 1.5-V N-type cells, B1 and B2, which are wired in series. For the circuit to work, it must be completed or closed. That is accomplished when the passive probe is held in one hand and the active probe is held in the other and the points of the two probes are placed across two points in a circuit under test. The resistor labeled Rbody is simply the resistance of the user's body. For Rbody to be swamped out, or kept from interfering with the reading, extremely high input-circuit impedances are used in the circuit. All of the people tested by the author for this project indicated a body resistance from hand to hand in the range of 200,000 to 500,000 Ω. Therefore, an input impedance of 50 MΩ, resistor R3, was added. That also provided an adequate safety isolation feature. The reduction of RFI and 60-Hz pickup is accomplished by the use of a symmetrical difference amplifier (IC1) at the input; the inherent common-mode rejection takes care of most the ac-related problems. The amplifier used for IC1 is a TLC271 CMOS op amp. Switch S1 is used to select polarity. Note that 50 MΩ of resistance are present at both of IC1's differential inputs (R3 at one input and the combined series resistance of R1 and R2 at the other). The user is placed in series with the 100-MΩ loop containing a 10-MΩ resistor (R1) as the protective device in the passive-probe section. Capacitors C1 to C4 provide additional filtering of residual ac noise and allow IC2, an LM3914 bar-graph display driver, to step up sequentially. Switch S2 selects between two selectable input ranges: XI, where each step equals 1 V, and X10, where each step equals 10 V. The display is made up of LED1 to LED11; LED2 through LED11 indicate the individual steps. LED1, the 0-V indicator, is also the power-on indicator.   (View)

LOGIC_PROBE_1

Published:2009/7/17 1:48:00 Author:Jessie

The circuit uses a 4N35 optocoupler (IC1) and a C9013G transistor (Q1). A positive pulse at the base of Q1 turns on the transistor. The 10,000-Ω resistor (R2) limits the incoming pulse so as not to feed too much current to the base of Q1, preventing the transistor from being damaged. With the base of Q1 at a positive potential, electron current flows from the emitter to the collector junction. The incoming pulse also pulls pin 6 high, lighting up LED1 by allowing current to flow between pins 4 and 5. The 330-Ω resistor (R3) provides current limiting for pin 6, although R4 is the current limiter for pin 4. While testing a digital circuit, if the LED lights, that portion of the circuit is in a high state; if the LED remains off, a low is present. The circuit can be placed inside a small enclosure if its connections are made as short as possible.   (View)

BINAURAL_SYNTHESIZER_FOR_CW

Published:2009/7/11 5:06:00 Author:May

Provides two channels for feeding stereo phones or two loudspeakers. When interference occurs a few hundred hertz from desired frequency, receiver is tuned so desired signal appears to be midway between loudspeakers, leaving interfering signals at right or left. Left or low channel has low-pass active filter and right or high channel has high-pass filter, with crossover at 750 Hz. Synthesizer is designed for low-impedance drive, as from loudspeaker output of receiver. Resistors in output channels prevent oscillation when 8-ohm phones or loudspeakers are directly connected to outputs. Opamps will drive 2000-ohm phones with ample volume and give moderate volume levels with 8-ohm loads.-D. E. Hildreth, Synthesizer for Binaural CW Reception, Ham Radio, Nov. 1975, p 46-48   (View)

2000_V_LOW_CURRENT_POWER_SUPPLY

Published:2009/7/11 5:05:00 Author:May

In this circuit Q1, Q2, R1, and C1 form a multivibrator. The square wave that results from the oscillation of this circuit (20 to 30 Vpp) is stepped up by T1 (an audio transformer of the type used in radios or small TVs). An 8- to 1,200-Ω impedance ratio equates to a turn ratio of 12:1. The ac from the secondary of T1 is applied to the multiplier circuit (D1 to D8 and C2 to C9). NE1/R2 are used as an operating indicator. The circuit will supply about 2,000 V. C2 to C9 should have a 400-V or higher voltage rating.   (View)
