METER_TESTER

Published:2009/7/10 2:13:00 Author:May

This unit uses switches and resistors to provide a number of current ranges. It allows you to test most of the meters available at surplus outlets, and without damaging the sensitive movements when you have no idea of internal resistance or full-scale current of the unit. M1 is a multimeter set to measure current, and M2 is the meter-under-test. Starting with S1 set at the maximum resistance and S2 open, decrease the resistance setting of S1, fine tuning with R12, until M2 reads full scale. Then, read Ml. It will tell you the full-scale current for the unknown meter. As the meters are connected in series, the same current flows through both. Now, close S2 and adjust R14 and R15 until M2 reads exactly mid-scale and M1 reads the same cur-rent as determined earlier to be the maximum current for M2. Half the current is flowing in M2 and half is going through R14 and R15. The voltage drop is the same across the meter and R14 and R15, because they're in parallel. Thus, the sum of the resistance of R14 and R15 is the same as the internal resistance of meter M2. If the internal resistance of M2 is less than 470Ω, set R14 at maximum resistance and close S3. Read-just R14. Both R14 and R12 should be linear-taper potentiometers.   (View)

6_V_flasher

Published:2009/7/19 22:49:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit shows an LED flasher that uses an LM3909 with a 6-V supply. Notice that the circuit is similar to that of Fig. 12-43B, except that a 75-Ω resistor is required between pin 6 and the LED, a 3.9-kΩ resistor is used between pin 5 and pin 1, the 300-μF capacitor should be at least 3 V, and pin 5 receives +6V from the external source. The flashing rate remains at about 1 Hz. Linear Applications Handbook. 1991. p 395   (View)

SINGLE_CHIP_MELODY_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/10 2:13:00 Author:May

This melody generator, based on a 4093 CM0S Schmitt trigger, can be used in alarms, doorbells, and cars (audible reverse gear or lights-on indicator).Three of the four NAND gates in the 4093 are connected in series by RC networks. Oscillation is affected by feedback of the output signal of N4 to the input of N2. The logic-high levels produced by the cascaded gates in the oscillator circuit are used to bias one of associated diodes D1, D2, or D3). The relevant diode connects one of the frequency-determining capacitors (C1 through C3) to tone oscillator N1. The audio signal available when S1 is pressed is applied to complementary transistor pair (T1/T2) that drives the loudspeaker. The frequency of the emitted tone can be adjusted to individual taste with preset P1.   (View)

MICROPOWER_CLOCK

Published:2009/7/10 2:13:00 Author:May

Although ceramic resonators are a good choice for low-power, low-frequency clock sources (if you can stand their 30-ppm temperature coefflcient), they have troublesome, spurious-resonance modes. This circuit rejects all but the resonator's fundamental mode. This clock circuit works from -40 to +80℃ and consumes only 2.8 mW. The rising edge of resonator Y1 toggles IC1A low. ac-coupled positive feedback from IC1D via C1 and R1 immediately confirms this state change at IC1B so that Miller loading, harmonic components, or below-minimum rise times at IC1A cannot force IC1C to relapse to its previous state. This tactic also applies to resonator Y1's falling edge because IC1C, via CZ agd R2, holds ICIB high. Choose time constants R1C1, and R2C2 to be equal and ranging from 60 to 75% of one-half of the clock's period. Ceramic capacitors (10% tolerance) with X7R dielectric work well. With these time constants, the logic will be locked and unavailable to the ceramic resonator until just before it executes a legitimate transition. IC1D and IC1C are in parallel to isolate the resonator from external loads and, more importantly, from C2.   (View)

HOLD_CURRENT_LIMITER

Published:2009/7/10 2:12:00 Author:May

In many applications, a solenoid driver must ftrst briefly supply a large amount of pull-in current, which quickly actuates the solenoid. Thereafter, the driver must supply a much lower holding current to avoid burning the solenoid out. To avoid using the customary, cumbersome, large capacitors or power-wasting resistors, you can use the switch technique.As long as the input to the circuit is low, diode D1 holds Q1 off; a low input also prevents the op-amp circuit from oscillating. When the input reaches 24 V, Q1 switches on and pulls in the solenoid. Concurrently, D4 is back-biased, and C1 begins charging up. When C1 charges up, the op-amp circuit begins to oscillate, switching Q1 on and off.The time constant defmed by R1 and C1 determines the length of the period during which the solenoid receives full power. R3 and C2 set the oscillator's frequency, and R2 sets the oscillator's duty cycle. The hold current is directly proportional to the duty cycle. For the components shown, the full-power period is 300 ms, the oscillator's frequency is 3 kHz, and its duty cycle is 50%.   (View)
