AUXILIARY_SUPPLY

Published:2009/7/10 21:54:00 Author:May

Many power-factor-correction circuits use a boost converter to generate a regulated dc output voltage from the ac line input while forcing the load to draw sinusoidal current, which maximizes the power factor. This circuit's full-wave rectifter the auxiliary winding's output to completely cancel out line variations and provide a regulated output voltage. The circuit essentially sums the two phases of the boost inductor's voltage to eliminate the 120-Hz components. The regulated output tracks the power-factor-controlled pre-regulator output voldage and it can be used in the corrected output voltage's feedback loop. An isolated auxiliary winding consists of the desired number of turns wound on the boost inductor. You can vary the exact value of the auxiliary supply's output voltage by adjusting or scaling the auxiliary wind-ing's number of tums. Figure 63-4(b)'s rectifter develops two separate, but individually unregulated volt-ages, across capacitors C1 and C2. Each of these voltages varies in amplitude at twice the ac-line frequency. When switch Q1 is on, the boost inductor connects directly across the input supply, and a volt-age proportional to the instantaneous input voltage develops across capacitor C1. Once the switch tums off, the inductor voltage reverses and clamps to a voltage equal to VOUT -VIN. During this interval, a voltage proportional to VOUT -VIN develops across C2. The sum of these two capac-itor voltages produces a regulated auxiliary voltage that is proportional to VOUT. The voltage across the output capacitor equals VIN+ (VOUT- VIN), which cancels the input-line variations.   (View)

OUTPUT_STABILIZER

Published:2009/7/10 21:51:00 Author:May

Optically isolated SMPS and dc-to-dc converters face the variance of output voltage owing to the change of transmission characteristics of an optoisolator with (a) temperature and (b) aging. The photo diode emission decays with temperature and time, and causes the output voltage to change. The problem is solved using a homoeopathic principle. An additional optical isolator is used to derive the +Ve input volt-age, instead of a conventional potential divider from internally stabilized reference. A scheme is shown using IC2524 as PWM element:where VD=forward drop of a photo diode. In equations 1 and 2, the terms:decrease with temperature. Thanks to -Ve, temperature coefficient of VD any changes in K1, and K2, as a result of temperature and aging, track each other to maintain the output voltage constant. With proper selection of R2 and R, the output voltages are found to vary by less than 0.01%/℃ over a wide tempera-ture range.   (View)

REMOITE_CONTROLLED_TELEPHONE_FAX_MACHINE_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/10 21:50:00 Author:May

This system uses a transmitter at around 100 kHz (see Fig. 86-3(a)) to control a remote receiver. A line splitter can be used to connect the transmitter to the telephone line in use. The transmitter is a CMOS oscillator and has output buffer stages to drive the telephone line.When the receiver (Fig. 86-3(b)) detects the off-hook condition (the line voltage drops from about 48 V to less than 10 V). Optocoupler U1 has the LED extinguished. This enables timer U2. When the transmitter is activated, tone decoder U4 detects the 100-kHz signal and outputs a low signal, which lights indicator LED1. LED1 is also used to set the transmitter frequency. Also, U2 is triggered. U2 is configured for the latching condition. U2 feeds the base of Q3, turns it on and energizes relay K1, which switches in the fax machine to the telephone line.U3 prevents U2 from being accidentally triggered by transients on the telephone line. When the phone is lifted off-hook and it resets U2 after about one or two seconds of delay, transients are allowed to subside before U2 is reset, and it waits for a negative pulse on pin 2 to turn on. When U2 turns on, Q3 is biased on, which activates change-over relay K1.   (View)

TELEPHONE_TOLL_TOTALIZER

Published:2009/7/10 21:44:00 Author:May

The Telephone loll Totalizer-built around two 4 518 dual synchronous up counters, a 74C925 4-digit counter, a 4 584 hex inverting buffer, and a 4081 quad 2-input AND gate-is fairly simple.Approximate toll charges can be calculated with this counter. It is started when dialing and stopped (manually) on hang-up. It is actually a counter that measures the time you are on the telephone. By calibrating it to the average cost/second of calls (get this from calculations you have done on your monthly phone bill), you can closely estimate your phone bill.The circuit consists of an oscillator running at the 100000 x frequency into the main counter (74C925). Typically, cost of telephone calls is 15 to 25 cents/minute so that the clock frequency (U1) is in the 25- to 40-kHz range. U2 and U4 with gates U3 form a ÷100000 counter. The approximate cost in dollars and cents is read out on the multiplexed display, DISP 1, 2, 3. S2 resets the counter to zero after each use.   (View)
