For temperature compensation, C3 bypasses ac signals from base of Q7, so only d-c signals are fed back through this transistor to Q1.-J. R.

256_NEGATIVE_STEPS

Published:2009/7/10 6:01:00 Author:May

Interconnection of Exar XR-2240 programmable timer/counter with 741 opamp and precision resistor ladder forms staircase generator. Reset pulse drives output low. When trigger is applied, output goes high and circuit generates negative-going staircase having 256 equal steps. Duration of each step is equal to time-base period as determined by values used for R and C. Staircase is stopped by applying disable signal (less than 1.4V) to pin 14 through steering diode. Supply voltage range is 4-15 V. If counter cannot be triggered when using supply above 7 V and less than 0.1μF for C, connect 300 pF from pin 14 to ground.- Timer Data Book, Exar Integrated Systems, Sunnyvale, GA, 1978, p 11-18.   (View)

PULSE_TRAINS_FORM_STAIRCASE

Published:2009/7/10 5:59:00 Author:May

Circuit accepts pulse trains from pulse-generating position transducer and produces staircase wave-form as analog input for horizontal axis of XY recorder or storage scope. Current-regulating diode serves as constant-current source for staircase generator that produces analog out-put proportional to number of input pulses. Mono switches on Q3 for constant time duration with every pulse, to ensure that C5 gets same amount of charge regardless of pulse rate. Relay resets integrator to zero when output voltage reaches almost 8.7 V, to prevent data from being lost if opamp saturates before data run is completed.-R. G.

STEP_FU_NCTION_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/10 5:57:00 Author:May

Successively lower resistances at decoder outputs create stairstep function for testing various types of instruments. Steps are equally spaced and of equal height, covering range of 5-12 or 50-120 mV depending on setting of range switch and RS. Spacing between steps ranges from 1.6 s to 6 min, so total time for complete 10-step stair-case is 16 s to 60 min depending on setting of 2.5-megohm timer pot. Reference voltage Vb can be 1.45-V mercury cell. Resistor values shown for Rd provide fixed 10% increments in stairstep.-M. M. Lacefield, Simple Step-Function Generator Aids in Testing Instruments, Electronics, Dec. 26, 1974, p 103 and 105.   (View)

SQUARE_TO_STEP

Published:2009/7/10 5:56:00 Author:May

Simple staircase generator circuit converts square wave into staircase voltage output. Each step approximates level of input pulse. First pulse charges C2 to amplitude of input pulse. After pulse, voltage across C2 acts through on to charge Q1 to same voltage. Next pulse adds to voltage across C2, doubling its charge. Each subsequent pulse steps up height of staircase until it reaches level of supply voltage.-J. Fisk, Circuits and Techniques, Ham Radio, June 1976, p 48-52.   (View)

BLOOD_VOLUME_SERVO

Published:2009/7/17 5:19:00 Author:Jessie

Servo-controlled pump with variable stroke drives blood from venous system of patient into artificial lung and after oxygenation returns it to arterial system. Control circuit insures that volume of blood is constant. Sensor is brass disk forming capacitance with pool of blood in oxygenator at spacing of 1mm. Error signal derived +tom capacitance change unbalances bridge that is energized at 3 kc (points B-B).Amplified error signal is applied to phase-sensitive demodulator. Unbalance energizes center-stable relays K1 and K2 of arterial and venous servo motors, so stroke output of arterial pump is decreased while that of venous pump is increased, or vice versa, to restore preselected volume of blood.-R.

Circuit is bulk around Motorola MC1406L 6-bit D/A converter U5. U1 (7400), U2, and U3 (both 7473) form synchronous divide-by-8 counter whose outputs are applied to A1-A3 inputs of US. U6 (MC1741P1) and Q2 form current amplifier. al is general-purpose NPN transistor having DC current gain of about 30. Point A goes to output of full-wave rectifier using two 50-PIV 1-A diodes connected across 26.4-V secondary of transformer. Table gives values for R3 through R8 as ratio of R2 for various gains and steps. Thus, for 500-mV steps (gain of 100), R7 is about 101 ohms. Accuracy depends on values of R2-R9 used.

COUNTER_TYPE_CO_NVERTER

Published:2009/7/10 5:52:00 Author:May

Clock-driven counter drives Harris HI-1080 D/A converter producing staircase voltage ramp. When converter output voltage equals analog input voltage as determined by HA-2602 comparator, comparator changes state. At that instant, state of counter represents 8-bit digital equivalent of analog input. Data output from latch is complement of digital value. Input range is 0-10 V. Other input ranges, positive or negative, are obtained by changing opamp gain or polarity or by adjusting 1K reference pot. Accuracy is maintained within 1/2 LSB at clock rates up to 330 kHz.- Linear & Data Acquisition Products, Harris Semiconductor, Melbourne, FL, Vo1, 1, 1977, p 7-33-7-35 (Application Note 512).   (View)
