_DIGITAL_FREQUENCY_METER

Published:2009/7/8 1:48:00 Author:May

The circuit converts frequency to voltage by taking the average dc value of the pulses from the 74121 monostable multivibrator. The one shot is triggered by the positive-going ac signal at the input of the 529 comparator. The amplifier acts as a dc filter, and also provides zeroing. This circuit will maintain an accuracy of 2% over 5 decades of range. The input signal to the comparator should be greater than 0.1 V pk-pk, and less than 12 V pk-pk for proper operation.   (View)

CRYSTAL_OVEN_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/8 1:47:00 Author:May

Unbalance voltage produced in thermistor bridge when temperature drops below set point is sensed by differential opamp that feeds buffer Q1 and power amplifier Q2, Power dissipated in Q2 and its load R11 heats oven. Thermistor R4 has nominal resistance of 3600 ohms at 50℃ (GE 1D53 or National Lead 1D053). Voltage divider R1-R2 reduces U1 input to safe Ievel and makes thermistor operate at low current, minimizing self-heating effects. All arms of thermistor bridge except R7 (vemier temperature ad justment) are in oven.-R. Silberstein, An Experimental Frequency Standard Using ICs, QST, Sept. 1974, p 14-21 and 167.   (View)

_SCR_TESTER

Published:2009/7/8 1:46:00 Author:May

The DUT's(Device Under Test) cathode, anode, and gate are connected to the unit's K,A, and G terminals, respectively. Pressing switch S1 feeds a gate current to the DUT, which triggers it on. Resistor R1 limits the gate current to the appropriate level. Resistor R3 limits the current through the LED to about 20 mA, which, with the current through R2, results in a latching current of about 110 mA. The LED is used to monitor the latching current. If the DUT is good, once the gate is triggered with S1, the LED will remain lit, indicating that the device is conducting. To end the test, turn off the device by interrupting the latching current flow using switch S2. The LED should turn off and remain off. The preceding procedure will work with SCRs and triacs. To check LEDs and other diodes, connect the anode and cathode leads to the anode and cathode of the diode; LED1 should light.When the leads are reversed, the LED should remain off.   (View)

AUDIBLE_LOGIC_TESTER

Published:2009/7/8 1:45:00 Author:May

This tester provides an audible indication of the logic level of the signal presented to its input. A logic high is indicated by a high tone, a logic low is indicated by a low tone, and oscillation is indicated by an alternating tone. The input is high impedance, so it witt not load down the circuit under test. The tester can be used to troubleshoot TTL or CMOS logic. The input consists of two sections of an LM339 quad comparator. IC1a increases when the input voltage exceeds 6770 of the supply voltage. The other comparator increases when the input drops below 330/0 of the supply. The tone generators consist of two gated astable multivibrators. The generator built around IC2a and IC2b produces the high tone. The one built around IC2c and IC2d produces the low tone. Two diodes, D1 and D2, isolate the tone-generator outputs. Transistor Q1 is used to drive a low-impedance speaker.   (View)

Color_TV_chroma_demodulator_with_tint_control

Published:2009/7/21 7:39:00 Author:Jessie

Color TV chroma demodulator with tint control. The color demodulators consist of two sets of balanced detectors that receive their reference subcarrier from the internal demodulator drive amplifiers. The chroma signal input is applied to pin 14. The chroma signal differentially drives the demodulators. The demodulation components are matrixed and DC-shifted in voltage to give R-Y, G-Y and B-Y color difference compo-nents with close DC balance and proper amplitude ratios. When the zener reference element is not used the power supply should be maintained at +11.2 volts (courtesy GTE Sylvania Incorporated).   (View)

DIFFERENTIAL_TO_10°F

Published:2009/7/8 1:45:00 Author:May

Simple circuit senses difference between temperatures of two objiects, as required for such control applications as turning on fans, turning off heaters, or opecrating mixing valves, inexpensive 1N4001 silicon diode is used as sensor; with two such diodes in resistance bridge as shown, voltage between reference and sensor diodes is applied to pins 4 and 7 of opamp. High-gain opamp is required because bridge output is only about 2mV/℃ of temperature differential. If output requires morethan about 10 mA, buffer transistor is needed.-J. Barnes, Differential-Tempera-ture Sensor is Very Inexpensive, EDN Magazine, April5, 1973, p 90-91.   (View)

The displayed amount could easily be converted to degrees Fahrenheit, °F, by the controller of (0 - 63 °temperature sensor) or through the (P) ROMs. When doing this, a third (hundreds) digit (P)ROM and display will be needed for displaying temperatures above 99 °F.

S_METER

Published:2009/7/8 1:41:00 Author:May

This design is for an external signal strength meter that is analog, digital, and audible for mobile trans-mitter hunters. The S meter also incorporates a gain circuit. The digital LED bar graph display has a very fast response time. The 3.3-KΩ resistor near LM3914 can be replaced with a 5-K pot to control LED brightness. The 52A position gives a 2:1 gain and the 52B position gives about a 50:1 gain. The calibration pots control the amount of meter action relative to the gain. The optional dampening circuit is used for the averaging of a transmitted signal that has modulated power or when a dip on the voice peaks occur. The capacitors can be switched one 'oy one or switched into a very slow response using 5.8 μF total capacitance.   (View)

LOW_POWER_MAGNETIC_CURRENT_SENSOR

Published:2009/7/8 1:38:00 Author:May

A transducer senses a direct current magnetically, providing isolation between the input and the output. The detecting-and-isolating element is a saturable reactor, in which the input current, to be measured, passes through a one-turn control coil. The transducer provides an output of 0 to 3 Vdc, an input current of 0 to 15 Adc, and consumes 22 mW at 10 Adc input. Line driver U1 excites the saturable reactor L1 by feeding a 2.3-kHz square wave through transformer T1. The output of L1 is rectified by the bridge rectifier composed of diodes D3 through D6, then amplified by op amp U2, which has a gain of 20. Diodes D1 and D2 commutate the reactive current fed back to the primary of T1 from L1. Without these diodes, large reactive voltage spikes on the primary would waste power and could destroy U1. Filter capacitor C1 stores the energy fed back through D1 and D2. To minimize core losses, the core of T1 is made of an alloy of 80% nickel and 20% iron. To minimize capacitance, the primary and secondary windings are interleaved and progressively wound 350°. The primary and secondary windings consist of 408 and 660 turns, respectively, of #34 wire.   (View)
