GUITAR_TREBLE_BOOST

Published:2009/7/7 5:02:00 Author:May

Q1 is connected as an emitter follower in order to present a high input impedance to the euitar. C2, being a relatively low capacitance, cuts out most of the bass, and C3 with RV1 acts as a simple tone control to cut the treble, and hence the amount of treble boost can be altered.Q2 is a simple preamp to recover signal losses in C2, C3, and RV1.   (View)

Voltage_regulator_for_a_projection_lamp

Published:2009/7/22 3:43:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit shows the basic UJT building block (Fig. 9-1), which is used to regulate the voltage across a projection lamp to 100 V (±2%) for an input voltage between 105 and 250 V. This is done by indirectly sensing the light output of lamp L1 and applying the feedback signal to the firing circuit (Q1 and Q2), which controls the conduction angle of triac Q3. The reflector inside the lamp envelope glows red because of the filament heat. Because the reflector has a relatively large mass, the reflector cannot respond to the supply frequency, and the light output provides a form of integration. Photocell R2 is mounted at one end of a black tube, and the other end of the tube is directed at the reflector's back side. R3 and R4 set the lamp voltage to 100 Y when the line voltage is 105 and 250 V, respectively. This assures that the lamp voltage will be within the desired tolerance over the operating range of the input voltage. Some interaction occurs between R3 and R4, and the adjustment of each pot might have to be made several times. Because this is an rms voltage regulator, a true rms meter must be used to adjust the load voltages.   (View)

_PRECISION_ELAPSED_TIME_COUNTDOWN_TIMER

Published:2009/7/7 4:59:00 Author:May

The circuit uses an ICM7213 precision one minute/one second timebase generator using a 4.1943 MHz crystal for generating pulses counted by an ICM7217B. The thumbwheel switches allow a starting time to be entered into the counter for a preset-countdown type timer, and allow the register to be set for compare functions. For instance, to make a 24-hour clock with BCD output the register can be preset with 2400 and the EQUAL output used to reset the counter. Note the 10 k resistor connected between the LOAD COUNTER terminal and ground. This resistor pulls the LOAD COUNTER input low when not loading, there by inhibiting the BCD output drivers. This resistor should be eliminated and SW4 replaced with an SPDT center-off switch if the BCD outputs are to be used.   (View)

Ultrasonic_receiver

Published:2009/7/22 3:43:00 Author:Jessie

This low-power ultrasonic receiver, built around two MAX403s, can operate for several weeks on a 9-V battery. The receiver has high gain at ultrasonic frequencies to detect faint reflections from a separate ultrasonic source (not shown). To prevent false triggering, the 40-kHz received signal passes through R7 to charge C3 after being rectified by D1. The rectified signal is detected by a MAX406 op amp, connected as a comparator, chosen because of its 1-μA supply current and rail-to-rail output swing.   (View)

LOW_POWER_MICROPROCESSOR_PROGRAMMABLE_INTERVAL_TIMER

Published:2009/7/7 4:58:00 Author:May

The microprocessor sends out an 8-bit binary code on its 8-bit I/O bus (the binary value needed to program the ICM7240), followed by four WRITE pulses into the CD4017B decade counter. The first pulse resets the 8-bit latch, the second strobes the binary value into the 8-bit latch, the third triggers the ICM7240 to begin its timing cycle and the fourth resets the decade counter. The ICM7240 then counts the interval of time determined by the R-C value on pin 13, and the programmed binary count on pins 1 through 8. At the end of the programmed time interval, the interrupt one-shot is triggered, informing the microprocessor that the programmed time interval is over. With a resistor of approximately 10 M ohm and a can capacitor of 0.1,ttF, the time base of the ICM7240 is one second. Thus, a time of 1-255 seconds can be programmed by the microprocessor, and by varying R or C, longer or shorter time bases can be selected.   (View)

Basic_triac_switches

Published:2009/7/21 22:03:00 Author:Jessie

These circuits show triacs that are used to control a pure resistive load (of about 7 A) across an ac line. In Fig. 8-5A, gate current is supplied to the triac from the 10-V battery when S1 is closed. The triac tums on and remains on until S1 is opened. This cirquit switches at zero current, except for initial turn on, so S1 can be a very low-current switch (carring only triac gate current). The triac switch of Fig.8-5B has the same characteristics as Fig. 8-5A, except that the battery is eliminated. In the circuit of Fig. 8-5C, when S1 is in position 1, the triac receives no gate current and is nonconducting. With S1 in position 2, operation is the same as in Fig. 8-5B. With S1 in position 3, the triac receives gate current only on positive half-cycles, and power to the load is half-wave. Figure 8-5D shows ac control of the triac.   (View)
