LIGHT_ACTIVATED_MOTOR_DRIVE_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/7/20 2:38:00 Author:Jessie

The circuit is a basic light-activated on/off switch for the motor. A CMOS op amp (IC1) is used as a voltage comparator. The comparator monitors the levels of two input voltages and switches its out-put on or off, depending on which input voltage is greater. The input on pin 2 is set to a reference voltage of about half the supply voltage by R3 and R4. The input on pin 3 is connected to a voltage divider made up of a cadmium sulfide photocell (R1) and potentiometer R2. The resistance of a photocell changes depending upon the amount of light shining on it, so the intensity of light is indicated by the voltage on pin 3 of IC1. The light level at which the circuit turns on is adjusted by R2. When the voltage on pin 3 of IC1 is greater than that on pin 2, the output (pin 6) turns on. The output of IC1 drives Q1 directly. That transistor acts like a current amplifier for the op amp. The transistor switches the motor on and off.   (View)

FET_VOLTMETER_1

Published:2009/7/9 23:13:00 Author:May

This FETVM replaces the function of the VTVM and rids the instrument of the usual line cord. In addition, FET drift rates are far superior to vacuum tube circuits, allowing a 0.5 V full-scale range which is impractical with most vacuum tubes. The low leakage, low noise NPD8303 is ideal for this application.   (View)

SAMPLE_AND_HOLD_1

Published:2009/7/9 23:13:00 Author:May

The sample-and-hold function has often been accomplished with separate analog switches and op amps. These designs always involve performance tradeoffs between acquisition time, charge injection, and droop rate. The HA-242-/2425 monolithic sample-and-hold, has many better tradeoffs, and usually a lower total cost than the other ap-proaches. The switching element is a complementary bipolar circuit with feedback, which allows high charging currents of 30 mA, a low charge injection of 10 pC, and an ultra-low off leakage current of 5 pA; a combination that is not approached in any other electronic switch. These factors make it also superior as an integrator reset switch, or as a precision peak detector.   (View)

COMPRESSOR_PROTECTOR

Published:2009/7/9 23:13:00 Author:May

This circuit monitors the power-line (ac) voltage.When a power failure occurs,on restoration of power,the circuit adds a five-minute delay before energizing K1,which protects the compressor against limited low voltage. U1 is a 16-stage counter with an integral oscillator that is set to divide by 8192. R7, R8, and C4 set the oscillator frequency to about 25 Hz, which produces a total count interval of 300 seconds (5Mnutes). After this time, pin 8 U1 goes high, which forward biases Q1,triggers SCR1,and activates K1. Up to 30 A can be switched.   (View)

Simple controller for single repeater uses 3-digit control code (523) to turn repeater on and 524 to turn it off. Digits must be in correct sequence. Digit decoder (not shown) uses TTL-compatible inputs which go high when digit is decoded. Four 1N914 diodes form OR gate that triggers U3A to create clock pulse with each digit received. Other output of U3Atriggers 555timer U5, set for delay of about 8 s. At end of delay, timer triggers U3B to reset all logic except for output stage.

PM_DC_MOTOR_SPEED_CONTROL_

Published:2009/7/20 2:37:00 Author:Jessie

Speed control of permanent-magnet (PM) dc motors with the aid of optical or dc tachometers is generally inconvenient and difficult, particularly on motors with integral gearboxes. The high-speed shaft of the motor that drives the gearbox isn't always accessible and the speed of the geared-down shaft often is too low for tachometers. Described here is a single-supply regulating speed-control circuit that doesn't require a tachometer. It keeps the motor torque high under load by using positive feedback to compensate for the drop caused by armature resistance. In unregulated variable-speed PM dc motor systems, the drop in speed under load is particularly pronounced at low motor-supply voltages. The positive feedback generates a negative resistance that compensates for the nonlinear effects caused by armature resistance. It thereby ensures that the speed-control input voltage (Vi) linearly controls the speed of the motor. Armature resistance compensation is achieved if: RS= RA/[gain(R3) / (R3 + R4)] - 1 The divider action of R3 and R4 together with the gain reduces the value required for Rs to minimize the power dissipation. C1 and R4 dampen the positive-feedback signal's response time, but they also form a low-pass filter and attenuate the motor current noise fed to the A2 input. The maximum output voltage swing from A2 is approximately VCC-2 V, and there is a 1.2-V Vbe loss by T1. This implies that the supply voltage (Vcc) should be about 5 V above the maximum desired motor voltage in order to allow for extra output drive to the motor under heavy load conditions. A reason-able choice for Rs is approximately RA/10, and the gain of A2 should be trimmed with RV2 to ensure that the motor's speed does not drop when loaded.   (View)

FILTERED_SAMPLE_AND_HOLD

Published:2009/7/9 23:12:00 Author:May

It is often required that a signal be filtered pnor to sampling. This can be accomplished with only one device. Use any of the inverting and noninverting filters that can be built with op amps. However, it is necessary that the sampling switch be closed for a sufficient time for the filter to settle when active filter types are connected around the device.   (View)

This circuit uses the speed and drive capability of the HA-5190 coupled with two high-speed DMOS FET switches. The input amplifier is allowed to operate at a gain of -5, although the overall circuit gain is unity. Acquisition times of less than 100 ns to 0.1% of a 1-V input step are possible. Drift current can be appreciably reduced by using FET input buffers on the output stage of the sample-and-hold.   (View)
