DIVIDE_BY_ODD_NUMBER_COUNTER

Published:2009/7/10 4:55:00 Author:May

This circuit symmetrically divides an input by virtually any odd number. The circuit contains n+l/2 clocks twice to achieve the desired divisor. By selecting the proper n, which is the decoded output of the 74LS161 counter, you can obtain diisors from 3 to 31. This circuit divides by 25; you can obtain higher divisors by cascading additional LS161 counters. The counter and IC5A form the n+l/2 counter. Once the counter reaches the decoded counts, n, IC5A ticks off an additional 1/2 clock, which clears the counter and puts it in hold. Additionally, IC5A clocks IC5B, which changes the dock phasing through the X0R gate, IC1. The next edge of the input clocks IC5A, which reenables the counter to start counting for an additional n+l/2 cycles. Although the circuit has been tested at 16 MHz, a worst-case timing analysis reveals that the maxi-mum input frequency is between 7 and 8 MHz.   (View)

PROGRAMMABLE_FREQUENCY_DIVIDER

Published:2009/7/10 4:54:00 Author:May

This divider uses a variable-length shift register, a type-D flip-flop, and an inverter. The clock feeds the flip-flop clock input and the output of the shift register feeds the D input of the flip-flop. The FF output is tied back to the reset input of the shift register so that each clock pulse shifts a 1 into the 4557. N+ 1 cycles after the reset pulse is removed. The first 1 will propagate through the register output. The 1 is latched into the FF on the clock's next falling edge and fed back to the 4557 reset pin, which resets the shift register to zero. When a zero is clocked into the flip-flop on the next falling clock edge, the reset is removed, restarting the process. The divide ratio is (N+2), where N = the binary number that is programmed into 4557.   (View)

ELECTRONIC_ANTENNA_SELECTOR

Published:2009/7/10 4:54:00 Author:May

The electronic antenna selector is intended to switch between two FM antennas via a logic signal. Gates IC1A and IC1B ensure a clean switching action and at the same time form the interface between the 5-V logic level (probably available from the receive) and the 12-V supply voltage for the selecton Depending on the type of gate used, a digital TTL or CMOS control signal is available in direct and inverted form at the outputs of IC1.When input A is logic high, the output of IC1A is low and that of IC1B is high. The current then flows from the positive supply line to IC1A via T2, R9, and D8. T2 is switched on and D9 lights.Because direct currents flow through R1/D1/R2 and R5/D3/R4, diodes D1 and D3 conduct and pass the VHF signal from input A to output D. At the same time, a direct current flows through R6/D4 so that D4 conducts. This arrangement ensures that any VHF signal at input C cannot reach the output via the parasitic capacitances of the relay contacts and the wiring.When A is logic low, and IC1B is therefore low, the current flows from the positive supply line to IC1B via T1, R7, and D17. T1 is then switched on and D10 lights. At the same time, the two series-connected relays, Re1 and Re2, are energized, their contacts close, and the VHF signal at input C is fed to output D. Moreover, a direct current flows through R3/D2 so that D2 conducts. Any signal at input B is then shorted to ground via D2.All resistors should be carbon-film types because these have a higher parasitic series inductance than metal-film resistors. Thus, the attenuation of the VHF signal caused by them is reduced to a minimum.The attenuation losses caused by the diode junctions (5-10 dB) are somewhat larger than those caused by the relays. It is thus advisable to connect the antenna that provides the weaker signal (normally the domestic one) to input C. If the domestic antenna is equipped with an antenna amplifier, it can be supplied via terminal E. Diodes D5 and D6 protect the circuit against high-voltage spikes that occur during the on and off switching. The selector draws a current of approximately 65 mA.   (View)

CLOCK_INPUT_FREQUENCY_DIVIDER

Published:2009/7/10 4:50:00 Author:May

ICA, R1 through R3, and Q1 form a current source. The current that charges C1 is given by: The input signal drives ICD. Because ICD's positive input (V+) is slightly offset to +0.1 V, its steady-state output will be near + 13 V. This voltage is sent to ICC through D2, setting ICC's output to +13 V. Therefore, point D is cut off by D1, and C1 is charged by the current source. Assuming the initial voltage on C1 is zero, the maximum voltage (I/Cmax) is given by: The right side of the inequality should be the minimum pulse width (either up time or down time) of the input clock. The circuit, when constructed with standard 74F-type parts, operates without any added delay in the exclusive-0R feedback path and with an input frequency of up to 22.5 MHz. The circuit's output signal will have the same duty cycle as the input clock.   (View)

CONTINUITY_TESTER_1

Watt_hour_meter

Published:2009/7/19 20:23:00 Author:Jessie

Watt-hour meter. The output of the 284J represents the instantaneous power delivered to the load, which is a 40-watt light bulb. This signal is averaged and converted to a frequency by the AD537 V/F converter. The pulse repetition rate of be AD537 varies in direct proportion to the average power consumed by the 40-watt light bulb. Different sensitivities (e.g., watt-minutes, watt-seconds, etc.) can be obtained by altering the scale factor of the AD537, the gain of the 284J or the count ratio on the AD537 output. lf an analog output is desired, an analog integrator can be successfully employed within the limitations shown (courtesy Analog Devices, Inc.).   (View)

dc_MILLIVOLTMETER

Published:2009/7/10 4:44:00 Author:May

An LF356 op amp is used as a gain amplifter with the output taken across R5. When a full-scale current of 1 mA is flowing through the meter, exactly 1V appears across R5 (should be 1% tolerance or better). This is fed back to R2 to the summing junction of IC1 (a full-scale produces 1μA). This offsets the current through R1. R1 has a value of 1 MΩ/V which is used to zero the meter. R4 provides some overcur-rent protection for the meter.   (View)
