TRANSISTOR_TESTER_1

Published:2009/7/11 5:14:00 Author:May

Determlnes maxlmum frequency at which unknown transistor will still maintain reasonable current gain, and tells whethertransistor is NPN or PNP. Based on fact that emitter-base junction of transistor is equivalent to crystal diode, conducting in one direction only. Direction depends on transistor type. Setting of S2 which gives meter reading identifies transistor type. Frequency-limit circuit is self-excited oscillator in which frequency de. pends on plug-in coil. If meter reads when 60MHz coil is used, transistor is capable of handling 60 MHz; if no reading, change to lower-frequency coils one by one until reading is obtained. To check battery, press S4; lamp should have full brilliance. CR1 is 1N34A.-H. Hanson, How High Will It Go?, QST, April 1974, p 32-33 and 39.   (View)

PB_SWITCH_ACTIVATED_MEMORY

Published:2009/7/17 1:55:00 Author:Jessie

Many new brushless-motor control schemes use ICs that determine the rotor position by sensing the motor's back-BMP signals. In a unipolar configuration, the control chip synchronizes the three phases of drive currents by detecting the moments when each back-EMF signal rises just above, or falls just below, the motor supply voltage, VBATT (see the figure), These instances are known as zero crossings. This circuit shifts the signals down to a reference level, VREF The MOSFET, M1, along with resistor R1 and NPN transistor Q1, creates a reference current (I1) that is equal to (VBATT-VREF)/R1.This reference current is replicated in Q2, Q3, and Q4. Because R2=R3=R4=R1, the voltage drop across each resistor is the same. That means that V2,V3and V4 vary above and below VBATT the same amount as V2,V3,and V4 vary above and below VBATT Matching resistors R1 to R4 within 1 percent and matching R5 to R8 within 1 percent will resolve back-EMF signals as small as 200 mV. Diode D1 protects M1's gate from large transients on VBATT. The ESD diodes on the 551595, along with resistors R2, R3, and R4, protect the IC from damaging transients at V2,V3 and V4.   (View)

LOGIC_PROBE_1

Published:2009/7/17 1:48:00 Author:Jessie

The circuit uses a 4N35 optocoupler (IC1) and a C9013G transistor (Q1). A positive pulse at the base of Q1 turns on the transistor. The 10,000-Ω resistor (R2) limits the incoming pulse so as not to feed too much current to the base of Q1, preventing the transistor from being damaged. With the base of Q1 at a positive potential, electron current flows from the emitter to the collector junction. The incoming pulse also pulls pin 6 high, lighting up LED1 by allowing current to flow between pins 4 and 5. The 330-Ω resistor (R3) provides current limiting for pin 6, although R4 is the current limiter for pin 4. While testing a digital circuit, if the LED lights, that portion of the circuit is in a high state; if the LED remains off, a low is present. The circuit can be placed inside a small enclosure if its connections are made as short as possible.   (View)

OPAMP_TESTER

Published:2009/7/11 5:12:00 Author:May
