TRANSISTOR_TESTER

Published:2009/7/11 3:17:00 Author:May

Will test conventional bipolar transistors, JFETs, MOSFETs, Darlingtons and UJTs. Audible note between 1000 and 5000 Hz from connected loudspeaker indicates that device is functioning as amplifier and gives relative indication of gain and noise figure. Most devices can be tested in-circuit. Among similar JFETs or MOSFETs, those producing lowest tone pitch have lowest noise figure. Among similar devices of any type, those producing loudest tone have highest gain. Tester feeds back audio signal through two transformers to create sustained oscillation when amplifying device is connected to proper terminals. S1 applies positive ornegative voltage through audio output transformer T2 to device under test. C3 and C4 must be nonpolarized electrolytics because R1 and R2 may produce either positive or negative voltage depending on device being tested. T1 and T2 have 1200-ohm primary and 8-ohm secondary (Calectro DI-724). Note above 10,000 Hz means device has some gain but does not meet specifications or is connected incorrectly. For MOSFETs, source and substrate are both connected to source terminal.-W. E. Anderson, A Universal Transistor Tester, QST, Dec. 1975, p 26-28.   (View)

UNDERVOLTAGE_DISCONNECT_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/17 2:32:00 Author:Jessie

In an effort to conserve energy, simple shutdown schemes are incorporated into many battery-operated circuits. Not all circuits lend themselves to direct control, however. Instead, the supply must be turned off by a switch. The LTC1477 high-side switch is designed for this purpose and includes short-circuit current limiting and thermal shutdown to guard against faulty loads. The figure shows the LTC1477 and LTC699 conjoined in an undervoltage disconnect application. The LTC699 microprocessor supervisor disables the LTC1477; hence, the load is disabled whenever the input voltage falls below 4.65 V. An external logic signal applied to the gate of Q1 can also disable the LTC1477. When enabled, the LTC1477 output ramps over a period of approximately 1 ms, thereby limiting the peak current in the load capacitor to 500 mA. This prevents glitches on the 5-V source line that might otherwise affect adjacent loads.   (View)

FREQUENCY_SWEEPER

Published:2009/7/11 3:16:00 Author:May

Sawtooth output of UJT varies sinusoidal output frequency of Optical Electronics 3370 voltage-to-frequency transducer, as required for checking frequency response of active and passive networks. R1 determines sweep width. Center frequency of sweep output can be changed by adding voltage to sawtooth or adjusting 3370. Sweep speed can be increased by reducing value of 1-μF tantalum capacitor.- Sweep Generator Using a Voltage-to-Frequency Transducer, Optical Electronics, Tucson, AZ, Application Tip 10059.   (View)

200_BIT_MEMORY

Published:2009/7/11 3:15:00 Author:May

Drawback of volatile codestoring memory is offset by low cost and com parative ease of programming. IC1 is Signetics 2511D MOS dual 200-bit shift register whose digital levels are shifted one position for each dock pulse. Inverters I1 and I2 of CMOS hex inverter IC3 form variable-frequency gated square-wave clock oscillator controlled by state of flip-flop FF2 in 74C74 CM0S dual D flip-flop. Shift register must first be cleared by setting DATA and CONTROL switches to ground and RECIRCULATE switch to hold, then pressing START button (with speed control set fast) until register is full of zeros, Release START button and switch control to +6 V for about 10 s. Now set CONTROL to ground and start programming. To enter dah, switch manual clock through three complete up-center/down-center cycles, switch data line to ground, and cycle manual clock through one cycle to insert space into memory. To enter dit, switch manual clock through only one up/down cycle. Continue until entire message is entered in register, switch to RECIRCULATE, and push START switch. Message will now be sent in perfect code at any desired speed.-B. P. Vandenberg, An Inexpensive Memory Keyerfor Contests, CQ, May 1976, p 50-51.   (View)

PLL_CODE_REGENERATOR

Published:2009/7/11 3:13:00 Author:May

Permits comfortable listening to CW signals deeply embedded in noise, hash, and interference, by detecting one particular CW transmission and keying independent oscillator with its signal. Consists of signal amplifier Q1, narrow-band PLL frequency detector and trigger U1, PLL function generator U2, gate Q2, and AF output amplifier U3. In absence of triggering signal, output pin 8 of U1 presents high impedance to ground. With trig-gering frequency, output presents low impedance to ground. Oscillator U2 is gated by un through Q2.-C.

RECORDED_CODE_KEYER

Published:2009/7/11 3:12:00 Author:May

CW message recorded on cassette tape with keyed tone generato r is played back for keying transmitter with frequently repeated messages. Transmitted signal is essentially perfect reproduction of recording. Automatic transmission can be stopped at any point by tapping hand key; this deactivates tape recorder for manual keying of transmitter. All transistors are 2N2222 or equivalent BCY58. Use 24-V reed relays with 1K coil resistance. Pilot lamps are 24 V rated up to 3 W.CR1 is silicon diode. Whenever recorder emits beep, positive signal appears at base of Q2, making it conduct and activate K1 whose contacts go to key jack of transmitter.-A.
