POWER_PEAK_METER

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

Optical Electronics 5897 four-quadrant multiplier generates product of load voltage and load current, while 5030 peak sense-and-hold module holds peak power for display on panel meter or other readout. Applications include measuring peak power applied to transistor, motor, lamp, or squib. If power peak at particular moment is required, such as that of transistor failure or squib detonation, 5020 sample-and-hold module is used in addition to or in place of 5030. Hold command can be obtained from flip-flop connected for triggering by abrup(change in power level.- A Peak Reading/Sampled Reading Power Meter, Optical Electronics, Tucson, AZ, Appli-cation Tip 10083.   (View)

CW_CALL_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/11 2:58:00 Author:May

Basic CW identifier uses two gates of 7400 to form starting flip-flop of automatic message generator. Provides ad-iustable speed and tone, with up to 256 bits of storage in Harris H1256 PROM. IC2 is 555 astable MVBR providing clock signal for driving two 7493 4-bit binary counters that address PROM.When counters reach maximum address of 255, next clock count makes PROM restart at address 0. Each address turns on tone oscillator for one clock period, producing one dit. Three addresses in row turn on tone for three clock periods, producing one dah. Space between dits and dahs of same letter is equal to one dit, letter space is three dits, and word space is six dits (2 dahs). Thus,W takes nine addresses. Article describes operation in detail and tells how to modify circuit for use as RTTY message gen-erator.-R. B. Joerger, PROM Message Generatorfor RTTY, 73 Magazine, March 1977, p 94-98.   (View)

FAST_BREAK_IN

Published:2009/7/11 2:55:00 Author:May

K5 should have contacts rated for 300 VAC at 500 mA.-A. Pluess, A Fast aSk System Using Reed Relays, QST, Dec. 1976, p 11-12.   (View)

TRANSISTOR_BREAKDOWN_TESTER

Published:2009/7/11 2:49:00 Author:May

Simple circuit measures breakdown voltages of most types of small-signal and power transistors, reverse breakdown voltages of small power diodes, and zener diodevoltages. Two small 90V batteries in series provide power. R1 biases upper transistor into conduction. When voltage is applied to diode or transistor iunction under test, junction breaks down and current flows through R2. This makes lower transistor conduct, thereby dropping base voltage of upper transistor. R2 may be used to set breakdown current over wide range. Voltmeter reads breakdown voltage of junction, since drop across R2 is negligibly smalL-J. W. Brown, Simple Breakdown Voltage Meter, Wireless World, July 1973, p 337.   (View)

DIODE_CHECKER

Published:2009/7/11 2:46:00 Author:May

Requires only one resistor, two LEDs, and any small power transformer providing 3 to 25 VAC. If diode under test is open, neither LED lights, lf diode is shorted, LED1 lights on one half-cycle and LED2 on other half-cycle, so both appear lit continuously. If diode is good, LED1 will light if anode of diode is toward transformer, and LED2 will light for other polarity of diode. Choose resistor to limit current through LEDs to about 10 mA.-M. D.
