Introduction
Encyclopedia of Electronic Circuits- Volume 2, a companion to Volume 1 published in
1985, contains well over 1400 not-previously covered circuits organized into 108 chapters. For each reference, circuits are listed at the beginning of each chapter. The extensive index further enhances the usefulness of this new work. The browser, as well as the serious researcher looking for a very specific circuit, will be richly rewarded by the context of this volume. A brief explanatory text accompanies almost every entry. The original source for each item is also given so that the reader requiring additional data will know where to find it. I am most grateful to William Sheets for his many and varied contributions to this book, and to Mrs. Stella Dillon for her fine work at the word processor. These friends and associates of long standingllave my sincere thanks for contributing to the successful completion of this book.

Circuit Notes

The Trouble Tone Alert is intended for use with analog meters-just wire a "mini" earphone jack directly across the meter movement, plug it in, and you're all set. This device reacts the to the meter-movement driving voltage. It will respond to a change in ac or dc voltage, current, or in resistance. The circuit will respond to an increase or decrease selected by the DPDT switch and is adjusted with the threshold control until the tone from the Sonalert just disappears (with the meter in the circuit being tested, of course).

Circuit Notes

Ql and Q2 constitute a simple, high speed FET input buffer. Ql functions as a source follower, with the Q2current source load setting the drain-source channel current. Normally, this open loop configuration would be quite drifty because there is no dc feedback. The LTC1052 contributes this function to stabilize the circuit by comparing the filtered circuit output to a similarly filtered version of the input signal. The amplified difference between these signals is used to set Q2's bias and hence Ql's channel current. This forces Ql's VGS to whatever voltage is required to match the circuit's input and output potentials. The 2000 pF capacitor at Al provides stable loop compensation. The RC network in Al's output prevents it from seeing high speed edges coupled through Q2' s collector-base junction. A2' s output is also fed back to the shield around Ql' s gate lead, bootstrapping the circuit's effective input capacitance down to less than 1 pF. For very fast requirements, the alternate discrete component buffer shown will be useful. Although its output is current limited at 75 mA, the GHz range transistors employed provide exceptionally wide bandwidth, fast slewing and very little delay.

Circuit Notes The circuit is made up of an LTl0l2 low drift device. and an LTl022 high speed amplifier. The overall circuit is a unity gain inverter, with the summing node located at the junction of three lOk resistors. The LTl012 monitors this summing node, compares it to ground. and drives the LTl022' s positive input, completing a dc stabilizing loop around the LTl022. The 10 k - 300 pF time constant at the LTl0l2 limits its response to low frequency signals. The LTl022 handles high frequency inputs while the LTl012 stabilizes the dc operating point. The 4.7 k - 220 ohm divider at the LTl022 prevents excessive input overdrive during start-up. This circuit combines the LTl012's 35 p.V offset and 1.5 V/QC drift with the LTl022's 23 V/p.s slew rate and 300 kHz full power bandwidth. Bias current, dominated by the LTl0l2, is about 100 pA.

Circuit Notes

The dual regulator circuit operates from a positive supply, which when switched ON powers the gate first, and when switched OFF shuts off the drain first as shown in the figure _ This circuit incorporates the LM123, a three terminal positive regulator and a dc+ to dc- converter, the outputs of which power the drains and gates of the power GaAsFETs in a power amplifier relay_ The output of the three terminal regulator drives a dc + to dc - converter whose output biases an N-channel JFET suitably so as to pull the base of the series pass transistor 2N6107 to a level to turn it on_ The circuit will turn off the drain supply whenever the negative potential on the Gate fails_

CMOS inverters can be used as linear amplifiers if negative feedback is applied. Best linearity is obtained with feedback applied around three inverters which gives almost perfect linearity up to an output swing of 5 V POp with a 10 V supply rail. The gain is set by the ratio of R1 and R2 and the values shown are typical for a gain of 100. The high frequency response with the values shown is almost flat to 20 kHz. The frequency response is detennined by Cl and C2. This circuit is not suitable for low level signals because the signal-to-noise ratio is only approx. 50 dB with 5 V pop output with the values shown. CURRENT-COLLECTOR HEAD-AMPLIFIER

Circuit Notes To amplify small current signals such as from an electron-collector inside a vacuum chamber, it is convenient for reasons of noise and bandwidth to have a "head-amplifier" attached to the chamber. The op-amp NI is a precision bipolar device with extremely low bias current and offset voltage (1)ilS well as low noise, which allows the 100:1 feedback attenuator to be employed. The resistance of R3 can be varied from above 10 M to below 1 k, and so the nominal 0 to 1 V-peak output signal corresponds to input current ranges of 1 nA to 10 p.A. 11

This circuit for a.high fidelity compressor uses an external op amp, and has a high gain and wide bandwidth. An input compensation network is required for stability. The rectifier

capacitor (Cgl is not grounded, but is tied to the output of an op amp circuit. When a compressor is operating at high gain, (small input signal), and is suddenly hit with a signal, it will overload until

and expandor have unity gain levels of 0 dB. Trim networks are shown for distortion (THD) and dc shift. The distortion trim should be done first, with an input of 0 dB at 10 kHz. The dc shift should be adjusted for minimum envelope bounce with tone bursts.

Circuit Notes

This converter circuit maintains 40 dB of isolation between the input and output halves of a four-wire line while permitting a two-wire line to be connected. A balancing potentiometer, Rg, adjusts the gain of lC2to null the feed-through from the input to the output. The adjustment is done on the workbench just after assembly by inserting a 1 kHz tone into the four-wire input and setting Rg for minimum output signal. An 82 ohm dummy-load resistor is placed across the two wire terminals.

LOWDISTORTION AUDIO LlMITER Circuit Notes

The level at which the audio limiter comes into action can be set with the LIMIT LEVEL trimmer potentiometer. When that level is exceeded, the output from the LIMITERDETECTOR half of the op-amp (used as a comparator) turns the LED which causes the resistance of the photoresistor to decrease rapidly. That in turn causes the gain of the LIMITER half of the op-amp to decrease. When the signal drops below the desired limiting level, the LED turns off, the resistance of the photoresistor increases, and the gain of the LIMITER op-amp returns to its normal levelthat set by the combination of resistors RI and R2. A dual-polarity power supply( 12 volts is desirable) is needed for the op-amp.

The control RI varies the quiescent Q point of this transistor so that varying amounts of signal exceed the level Vr' Diode D1 rectifies the positive peaks of Ql's output only when these peaks are greater than Vr ~ 7.0 volts. The resulting output is filtered CX' R.. R. controls the charging time constant or attack time. Cx is involved in both charge and discharge. R2 (150 K, input resistance of the emitter-follower Q2) controls the decay time. Making the decay long and attack short is accomplished by making Rx small and R2 large. (A Darlington emitterfollower may.be needed if extremely slow decay times are required.) The emitter-follower Q2 drives the AGC Pin 2 of the MC1590 and reduces the gain. R3 controls the slope of signal compression.

The input to the circuit is taken from the amplifier's speaker-output terminals or jacks. If the right-channel signal is sufficiently large to charge Cl to a potential that is greater than the breakdown voltage of Q1' s emitter, a voltage pulse will appear across R7. Similarly, if the left-channel signal is sufficiently large to charge C2 to a potential that is greater than the breakdown voltage of Q2' s emitter, a pulse will appear across R7. The pulse across R7 triggers SCR1, a sensitive gate SCR (IGT less than 15 mA where IGT is the gate trigger-current), that latches in a conducting state and energizes RYl. The action of the relay will interrupt both speaker circuits, and the resulting silence should alert you to the problem. Cut back the volume on your amplifier, then press and release SI to reset the circuit and restore normal operation. The circuit can be adjusted to trip at any level from 15 to ISO watts RMS. To calibrate, deliberately feed an excessive signal to the right input of the speaker protector and adjust R3 until RY1 energizes. Do the same with the left channel, this time adjusting R4. The circuit is now calibrated and ready for use.

Circuit Notes An audio signal applied to U1 is passed through to the 741 operational amplifier, U2. After being amplifieu, the output signal of U2 is sampled and applied to a negative voltage doubler/rectifier circuit composed of diodes~CR1 and CR2 along with capacitor Cl. The resulting negative voltage is used as a control voltage that is applied to the gate of the 2N5485 JFET Ql. Capacitor C2 and resistor R2 form a smoothing filter for the rectified audio control voltage. The JFET is connected from pin 2 of the MC3340P to ground through a 1 kilohm resistor. As the voltage applied to the gate of the JFET becomes more negative in magnitude, the channel resistance of the JFET increases causing the JFET to operate as a voltage controlled resistor. The MC3340P audio attenuator is the heart of the AGC. It is capable of 13 dB gain or nearly - 80 dB of attenuation depending on the external resistance placed between pin 2 and ground. An increase of resistance decreases the gain achieved through the MC3340P. The circuit gain is not entirely a linear function of the external resistance but approximates such behavior over a good portion of the gain/attenuation range. An input signal applied to the AGC input will cause the gate voltage of the JFET to become proportionally negative. As a result the JFET increases the resistance from pin 2 to ground of the MC3340P causing a reduction in gain. In this way the AGC output is held at a nearly constant level.

Circuit Notes

Op amp A2 and transistors Q! and Q2 form the exponential converter generating an exponential gain control current, which is fed into the rectifier. A reference current of 150 p.A, (15 V and R20 = 100 k), is attenuated a factor of two (6 dB) for every volt increase in the control voltage. Capacitor C6 slows down gain changes to a 20 ms time constant (C 6 x Rj ) so that an abrupt change in the control voltage will produce a smooth sounding gain change. Rl8 ensures that for large control voltages the circuit will go to full attentuation. The rectifier bias current would normally limit the gain reduction to about 70 dB. Rl6 draws excess current out of the rectifier. After approximately 50 dB of attentuation at a -6 dBIV slope, the slope steepens and attenuation becomes much more rapid until the circuit totally shuts off at about 9 V of control voltage. Al should be a low-noise high slew rate op amp. R13 and Rl4 establish approximately a 0 V bias at AI's output.

Operational amplifiers Al ani:! A2 are connected in a non-invertiog configuration with their outputs driving amplifier A3. Operational amplifier A3could be called a subtractor circuit which converts the differential signal floating between points X and Y into a singleended output voltage. Although not mandatory, amplifier A3 is usually operated at unity gain and R4, R5, R6, and R7 are all equal. The common-mode-rejection of amplifier A3 is a function of how closely the ratio R4:R5 matches the ratio R6:R7. For example, when using resistors with 0.1 % tolerance, common-mode rejection is greater than 60 dB. Additional improvement can be attained by using a potentiometer (slightly higher in value than R6) for R7. The potentiometer can be adjusted for the best common-mode rejection. Input amplifiers Al and A2 will have some differential gain but the common-mode input voltages will experience only unity gain. These voltages will not appear as differential signals at the input of amplifier A3 because, when they appear at equal levels on both ends of resistor R2, they are effectively canceled. This type of low-level differential amplifier finds widespread use in signal processing. It is also useful for dc and low-frequency -signals commonly received from a transducer or thermocouple output, which are amplified and transmitted in a single-ended mode. The amplifier is powered by 15 V supplies. It is only necessary to null the input offset voltage of the output amplifier A3.

Circuit Notes This circuit is for selective tuning between two closely spaced audio tones. The selective frequency is dependent on the value of capacitors and resistors in the feedback circuit between the collector and base of Q1. With the values shown. the frequency can be "tuned" a hundred cycles or so around 650 Hz. RI and R2 must be ganged. Emitter potentiometer R3 determines the sharpness of response curve. Any transistor having a beta greater than 50 can be used. Select a value for R4 so that the circuit will not oscillate when R3 is set for minimum bandwidth (sharpest tuning).

This makes gain inversely proportional to input level so that a 20 dB drop in input level will produce a 20 dB increase in gain. The output will remain fixed at a constant level. As shown. the circuit will maintain an output level of 1 dB for an input range of + 14 to -43 dB at 1 kHz. Additional external components will allow the output level to be adjusted.

Circuit Notes

The quad operational amplifier circuit yields full 0 to 100 percent pulse-width control. The controller uses an LM3900 that requires only a single supply voltage of 4 to 30 V. The pulse-repetition rate is set by a 1 kHz oscillator that incorporates amplifier Al' The oscillator feeds ramp generator A2 which generates a linear ramp voltage for each oscillator pulse. The ramp signal feeds the inverting input of comparator A3 ; the speedcontrol voltage feeds the noninverting input. Thus. the output of the comparator is a 1 kHz pulse train. the pulse width of which changes linearly with the control voltage. The control voltage can be provided by an adjustable potentiometer or by an external source of feedback information such as a motor-speed sensing circuit. Depending on the control-voltage setting, the pulse duration can be set at any value from zero (for zero average dc voltage applied to the motor) to the full pulse-repetition period (for applied motor voltage equal to dc power-supply voltage). An amplifier stage (A4) with a gain ono acts as a pulse-squaring circuit. A TIP-31 medium-power transistor is driven by A4 and serves as a separate power-amplifier stage.

SUCCESSIVE APPROXIMATION AID CONVERTERS, Continued. Circuit Notes The ICL7134Bbased circuit is for a bipolarinput high-speed AID converter, using two AM25L03s to form a 14bit successive approximation register. The comparator is a two-stage circuit with an HA2605 front end amplifier, used to reduce settling time prob lems at the summing node (see A020). Careful offset-nu1ling of this amplifier is needed, and if wide temperature range operation is desired, an autonull circuit using an 1CL7650 is probably advisable (see A053). The clock, using two Schmitt trigger TTL gates, runs at a slower rate for the first 8 bits, where settlingtime is most critical than for the last 6 bits. The shortcycle line is shown tied to the 15th bit; if fewer bits are required, it can be moved up accordingly. The circuit will free-run if the HOLD/RUN input is held low, but will stop after completing a conversion if the pin is high at that time. A low going pulse will restart it. The STATUS output indicates when the device is operating, and the falling edge indicates the availability of new data. A unipolar version can be constructed hy typing the MSB (D13) on an ICL7134U to pin 14 on the first AM25L03, deleting the reference inversion amplifier A4, and tying VRFM to VRFL' 4 DIGIT (10,000 COUNT) AID CONVERTER

Circuit Notes Everytime a pulse is applied to the convert command input, Q1 resets the 1000 pF capacitor to 0 V. This resetting action takes 200 ns of the falliog edge of the convert command pulse, the capacitor begins to charge linearly. In precisely 10 microseconds. it charges to 2.5 V. The 10 microseconds ramp is applied to the LTl016's positive input. The LT1016 compares the ramp to Ex, the unknown, at its negative input. For a 0 V - 2.5 V range, Ex is applied to the 2.5 k ohm resistor. From a 0 V - 10 V range, the 2.5 k ohm resistor is grounded and Ex is applied to the 7.5 k ohm resistor. Output of the LT1016 is a pulse whose width is directly dependent on the value of Ex. This pulse width is used to gate a 100 MRz clock. The 100 MRz clock pulse bursts that appear at the output are proportional to Ex. For a 0 V - 10 V input, 1024 pulses appear at fullscale, 512 at 5.00 V, etc.

Circuit Notes
The converter has a 60 ms conversion time, consumes 460 /LA from its 1. 5 V supply and maintains 10 bit accuracy over a 15C to 35C temperature range. A pulse applied to the convert command line causes Q3, operating in inverted mode, to discharge through the 10 k!l diode path. forcing its collector low. Q3's inverted mode switching results in a capacitor discharge within 1 mV of ground. During the time the ramps' value is below the input voltage, CIA's output is low. This allows pulses from ClB, a quartz stabilized oscillator, to modulate Q4. Output data appears at Q4's collector. When the ramp crosses the input voltages value CIA's output goes high, iJiasing Q4 and output data ceases. The number of pulses at the output is directly proportional to the input voltage. To calibrate apply 0.5 V to the input and trim the 10 k!l potentiometer for exactly 1000 pulses out each time the convert command line is pulsed.

Circuit Notes This system completes a full 12-bit conversion in 10 I's unipolar or bipolar . This converter will be accurate to v, LSB of 12 bits and have a typical gain TC of 10 ppm/oC. In the unipolar mode, the system range is 0 V to 9.9976 V. with each bit having a value of 2.44 mY. For the true conversion accuracy. an AID converter should be trimmed so that given bit code output results from input levels from Vz LSB below to Vz LSB above the exact voltage which that code represents. Therefore. the converter zero point should be trimmed with an input voltage of 1.22 mY; trim RI until the LSB just begins to appear in the output code (all other bits "0"). For full-scale. use an input voltage of 9.9963 V (10 V-I LSB-V, LSB); then trim R2 until the LSB just begins to appear (all other bits "I"). The bipolar signal range is - 5.0 V to 4.9976 V. Bipolar offset trimming is done by applying a - 4.9988 V input signal and trimming R3 for the LSB transition (all other bits "0"). Full-scale is set by applying 4.9963 V and trimming R2 for the LSB transition (all other bits "I").

The cyclic converter consists of a chain of identical stages, each of which senses the polarity of the input. The stage then subtracts VREF from the input and doubles the remainder if the polarity was correct. The signal is full-wave rectified and the remainder of VIN - VREF is doubled. A chain of these stages gives the gray code equivalent of the input voltage in digitized form related to the magnitude of VREF' Possessing high potential accuracy, the circuit using NE531 devices settles in 5 p.s.

Circuit Notes Using a CA3140 BiMOS op amp provides good slewing capability for high bandwidth input signals, and can quickly settle energy that the CA3310 outputs at its VIN terminal. The CA3140 can also drive close to the negative supply rail. If system supply sequencing or an unknown input voltage is likely to cause the op amp to drive above the VDD supply, a diode clamp can be added from pin 8 of the op amp to the VDD supply.

Resistor RI, capacitor Cl, and two inverters form a square wave generator, which produces the basic tone. The geuerator is followed by an inverter that acts as both a buffer and a driver for the speaker. Resistor R2, which has a minimum value of 100 ohms, limits the current and controls the volume. Diode DI, capacitor C2, resistors R3 and R4, and two inverters create the pulse generator that determines the turn-on and decay times of the chime. The decay circuit-formed by D2, C3, R5, and Q-reduces the amplitude of the chime tone exponentially as a function of time.

Circuit Notes When the doorbell is pushed, you'll hear a low tone that will "slide up" to a higher frequency. The frequency of the AF oscillator is determined by coupling capacitor, Cl and the value of the resistance connected between the base of QI and ground. That resistance, RBG is equal to (RI + R2) R3. First, assume that SI is closed and R2 has been adjusted to produce a pleasant, low-frequency tone. Capacitor C3 will charge through R6 until it reaches such a voltage that it will cause diode Dl to conduct. When that happens, the value of RBG is paralleled by R4. Thus, because the total resistance RBG decrease, the output tone slides up in frequency. Capacitor C3 will continue to charge until the voltage across D2 and D3 causes those diodes to conduct. Then RBG is paralleled also by R5, the total resistance again decreases, and the oscillator's frequency again increases.

Circuit Notes

An audio source, such as a mixer, preamplifier, equalizer, or recorder, is fed to the Electronic Crossover Circuit's input. That signal is either ac- or dc-coupled, depending on the setting of switch SI, to the non-inverting input obuffer-amplifier Dla, one section of a quad, BIFET, low-noise TL074 op amp made by Texas Instruments. That stage has a gain of 2, and its output is distributed to both a lowpass filter made by R4, R5, C2, C3, and op-amp DId, and a highpass filter made by R6, R7, C4, C5, and op amp Dlc. Those are12 dB/octave Butterworth-type filters. The Butterworth filter response was chosen because it gives the best compromise between damping and phase shift. Values of capacitors and resistors will vary with the selected crossover at which your unit will operate. The filter's outputs are fed to a balancing network made by R8, R9, RIO, RH and balance potentiometer R14. When the potentiometer is at its mid-position, there is unity gain for the passbands of both the high and low filters. Dc power for the Electronic Crossover Circuit is regulated by R12, R13, Dl, and D2, and decoupled by C6 and C7.

Circuit Notes CMOS switches are used directly to select inputs in audio circuits, this can introduce unacceptable levels of distortion, but if the switch is included in the feedback network of an op amp, the distortion due to the switch can be almost eliminated. The circuit uses a 4416 CMOS switch, arranged as two independent SPDT switches. If switching transients are unimportant, R5 and Cl can be omitted, and R4 can be shorted out. However, a feedback path must be maintained, even when a channel is switched out, in order to keep the inverting input of the op amp at ground potential, and prevent excessive crosstalk between channels.

Circuit Notes

The three channel output distribution amplifier uses a single TL084. The first stage is capacitively coupled with a 1.0 I'~ electrolytic capacitor. The inputs are at Y, Vcc rail or 4.5 V. This makes it possible to use a single 9 V supply. A voltage gain of 10 (1 M ohm/lOO k ohm) is obtained in the first stage, and the other three stages are connected as unity-gain voltage followers. Each output stage independently drives an amplifier through the 50 I'F output capacitor to the 5.1 k ohm load resistor. The response is flat from 10 Hz to 30 kHz.

Circuit Notes

This circuit can be used as a stereo mixer as well as a four track. The quad op-amp re gives a bit of gain for each track. The pan control allows panning between tracks one and two with the switch in the up position, and with the switch in the down position, it makes possible panning between tracks three and four. Extra channels can be added. A suitable op amp for ICl is TL074 or similar.

Circuit Notes

The automatic fader drops the level of the background music when the narration comes up. The control input goes through RIO, a preset audio level control, to the input of an emitter-follower buffer stage (QI). The buffer offers a high input impedance and makes sure that the source impedance is low enough to drive the rectifier and smoothing circuit, which consist of DI, D2, and C5. The smoothed output drives a simple LED circuit. R8 and LDRl form an input attenuator across which the output is fed via C6 and C7 to the output jack. The output at the emitter of Ql couples to this sor...ket through C4 and R5. R5 and R7 are a passive mixer. With 200 mV or less at the input, there isn't sufficient voltage across C5 to make Q2 turn on. Over 200 mV, Q2 does turn on to a limit, and the LED gets power. That makes the LDR's resistance fall, and signal loss through the attenuator increases. Increase the input to 350 mV rms, and you get a signal reduction of better than 20 dB.

Circuit Notes A microphone preanoplifier using a :om CMOS op anop complete with its own battery, is small enough to be put in a small mike case. The anoplifier operates from a 1.5-V mercury cell battery at low supply currents. This preanoplifier will operate at very low power levels and maintain a reasonable frequency response as well. The TLC251 operated in the low bias mode (operating at 1.5 V) draws a supply current of only 10 pA and has a - 3 dB frequency response of 27 Hz to 4.8 kHz. With pin 8 grounded, which is designated as the high bias condition, the upper limit increases to 25 kHz. Supply current is only 30 I'A under those conditions.

Circuit Notes The circuit provides a delayed windshield wiping, and dynamic braking of wiper blades when they reach the rest position. This prevents the blades from overshooting, which might cause them to stop at a point where they interfere with the drivers' vision. With the original wiper switch off, switch SlA turns on the delay circuit and S18 disconnects the original automotive wiring. When SI is turned off, the original wiring controls the system and the delay circuit is bypassed. Turning SI on applies the + 12-V battery to U1 which is a voltage doubler that produces + 18 V. This higher voltage supply is necessary to ensure reliable turn on of Q1 by multivibrator U2. This arrangement provides about + 18 V to the gate of Q1, whose source is + 12 V minus the VDS drop of Ql. Q1 remains on for a time determined by the WIPES potentiometer. The interval between wipes is controlled by the PAUSE control. When Cl drops below + 4 V, U2 fires, turning Q1 on and restarting the cycle.

HANDS-ON ELECTRONICS

Circuit Notes

A flip of Sl puts the circuit into action. Power for the circuit is picked up from the ignition switch, and the circuit receives no power until the ignition switch is closed. When power is turned on, capacitor Cl is not charged and the emitter-follower Darlington pair (formed by Q1 and Q2) are cutoff, thus no power is applied to the relay (K1), which serves as Q1' s emitter load. The relay's normally-open contacts are connected across the vehicle's points. (At this time, the relay contacts are open and have no effect on the ignition system). Cl charges by way of R1, causing the voltage at the base of Q1 to rise steadily. That creates a similar rise in the voltage at the emitter of Q2. A Darlington pair is used to provide a high input-impedance, buffer stage so that the voltage across C2 is free to rise almost to the full supply potential. Loading effects do not limit the charge potential to just a few volts. Eventually, the voltage applied to the relay becomes sufficient to activate it. The contacts close and short out the points. The ignition system now doesn't act properly and the vehicle is disabled. If the ignition is switched off, power is removed from the circuit and diode D1, which was previously reverse-biased, is now forward biased by the charge on Cl. D1 allows Cl to rapidly discharge through R2 (and any other dc paths across the supply lines). The circuit is ready to operate when the ignition is again turned on. The engine will operate, but not for very long. The values of R1 and Cl provides a delay of about 25 to 30 seconds. Increase R1' s value to provide a longer delay.

Circuit Notes

A bridge circuit contains two lOO-ohm resistors (R3 and R4). and two thermistors (Tl and T2). At room temperature the resistance of T1 and T2 is about 2000 ohms. When they are each heated to 150C by a 10 mA current. the resistance value decreases to 100 ohms. Thus, the four elements comprise a bridge circuit. A characteristic of CO is that it conducts heat away from a thermistor at a different rate than air. One thermistor. T1. is exposed to the automobile exhaust while the other, T2. is isolated in a pure air environment. The difference in thermal conduction unbalances the bridge. A voltage difference is caused between points A and C. A differential amplifier, U1. amplifies this difference and drives the meter with sufficient current to read out the percentage of CO and the air-fuel ratio. A front panel balance control. R5. balances the bridge and calibrates the instrument. Calibration is performed when both thermistors are exposed to the outside air. 51

Circuit Notes Model airplanes, boats, and cars use glow plug ignitions for their miniature (0.8cc to 15cc) internal combustion engines. Such engines dispense with the heavy on-board batteries, H.T. coil, and "condenser" required for conventional spark ignition, while simultaneously developing much higher RPM (hence power) than the compression ignition (diesel) motors. The heart of a glow plug is a platinum alloy coil heated to incandescence for engine starting by an external battery, either 1. 5 volts or 2 volts. Supplementing this battery, a second 12-volt power supply is frequently required for the engine starter, together with a third 6 volt type for the electrical fuel pump, Rather than being burdened by all these multiple energy sources, the model builder would prefer to carry (and buy) a single 12-volt battery, deriving the lower voltages from this by use of suitable electronic step-down transformers (choppers). The glow driver illustrated does this and offers the additional benefit of (through negative feedback) maintaining constant plug temperature independent of engine flooding, or battery voltage while the starter is cranking. In this circuit, the PUT relaxation oscillator Ql turns on the output chopper transistor Q2 at a fixed repetition rate determined by Rl and Cl. Current then flows through the glow plug and the parallel combination of the current sense resistor R2 and the LED associated with the HllL Schmitt trigger. With the plug cold (low resistance), current

52

is high, the HIlL is biased "on", and Q3 conducts to sustain base drive to Q2. Once the plug has attained optimum operating temperature, which can be monitored by its ohmic resistance, the HIlL is programmed (via to switch off, removing base drive from Q3 and Q2. However, since the HIlL senses glow plug current, not resistance, this is only valid if supply voltage is constant, which is not always the case. Transistor Q4 provides suitable compensation in this case; if battery voltage falls (during cold cranking, for instance), the collector current of Q4 rises, causing additional current to flow through the LED, thus delaying the switch-off point for a given plug current. The circuit holds plug temperature relatively constant, with the plug either completely dry or thoroughly "wet", over an input voltage range of 8 to 16 volts. A similar configuration can be employed to maintain constant temperature for a full size truck diesel glow plug (28-volts supply, 12-volts glow plug); in this case, since plug temperature excursions are not so great, a hysteresis expansion resistor RH may be required.

Circuit Notes Capacitor Cl is permanently connected across the 3-volt supply through 10 megohm resistor Rl. The capacitor charges (relatively slowly) to 3 volts. The instant switch SW1 is dosed, it connects the charged capacitor (Cl) in series with C2 and RZ. Capacitor C2 starts to charge, placing a positive-going voltage on the gate of the SCR and causing it to turn on. The two parallel-connected "self-flashing" bulbs I1 and 12 turn on. They flash and turn off the SCR and the circuit is off until car is driven off the switch and Cl can recharge.

Circuit Notes This display uses ten LED's to display a voltage range from 10.5 to 15 volts. Each LED represents a 0.5-volt step in voltage. The heart of the circuit is the LM3914 dotlbar display driver. Trimmer potentiometer R5 is adjusted so that 7.5 volts is applied to the top side of the divider. Resistor R7 and diodes D2 through D5 clamp the voltage applied to the LED's to about 3 volts. A lowpass filter made up of Ll and C2 guards against voltage spikes. Diode D1 is used to protect against reverse voltage in case the voltmeter is hooked up backward.

Circuit Notes

The circuit is used to indicate two different water temperature trip points by turning on LEDs when the temperatures are reached. The circuit is constructed around the LM2904 dual operational amplifier powered from the 12 V auto system. The thermistor is in series with a 10 kG resistor from ground to the positive 9.1 V point. The top of the thermistor is tied to both non-inverting inputs of the LM2904. The voltage at these inputs will change as the thermistor resistance changes with temperature. Each inverting input on the LM2904 has a reference, or threshold trip point, set by a 10 kG resistor and a 2 kG potentiometer in series across the 9.1 V regulated voltage. When this threshold is exceeded on the non-inverting input of LM2904, the TIL220 LED lights. The two trip points can be recalibrated or set to trip at different temperatures by adjusting the 2 kG potentiometer in each section. In addition to being used as warning lights as shown here, circuits can be added to turn on the fan motor or activate a relay.

Circuit Notes The circuit uses a thermistor and three sections of a LM3900 quad op amp IC. When the temperature drops to 36F the LED indicator flashes about once each second. The flashing rate increases as temperature drops to 32F when the LED remains on. Amplifier I compares the thermistor's resistance to the resistance of the standard network connected to its noninverting input. Its output-fed to the noninverting input of op amp Ill-varies with temperature. Op amp IT is a free-runntog multivibrator feeding a pulse signal of about 1 Hz to the inverting input of op amp Ill. This amplifier compares the outputs of op amps I and IT and turns on the LED when the multivibrator's output level drops below op amp I. The monitor is calibrated by placing the thermistor in a mixture of crushed ice and water and adjusting the 20 kO pot so the LED stays on.

Circuit Notes

The circuit warns car drivers when the air temperature close to the ground approaches oDe. thereby indicating possible formation of ice on the road surface. Op amp Al is wired as a voltage level sensor. Op amp A2 is wired as an astable multivibrator which, by means of current buffer Trl, flashes a filament lamp at about 1 Hz. As air temperature falls, a point is reached when the voltage at pin 2 just rises above the voltage at pin 1. The output of Al is immediately driven into positive saturation, since it is operated open loop. This positive output voltage powers A2 through its V + connection on pin 9, starting the oscillator. The thermistor is a glass bead type with a resistance of about 20 MO at 20C. VRl is adjusted so that the lamp starts flashing when the air temperature is Ito 2C.

1. Automobile headlights may be kept on up to 3 minutes after you leave the car with this Darlington time-delay circuit.

2. A FET version of the delay circuit allows the use of a smaller timing capacitor, Cl l for a given delay, and almost instantaneous reset with S:5; the Darlington circuit needs almost 2 s.

ELECTRONIC DESIGN

Fig. 7-14

Circuit Notes This circuit keeps an automobile's headlights on temporarily. It also will turn the lights off, even if you forget to flip the light switch. The circuit's shut-off delay is actuated only after both the ignition and light switches have been on, and only if the iguition switch is turned off first. If the light switch is turned off first, no delay results. Parking and brake-light operation is not affected. The maximum time out can be up to 3 minutes in part 1 and hours with the circuit in part 2, depending on the relay selected and the value of R2. A switch S2 can be used to permit selection of either a short or long delay. Momentary switch S3 can restart circuit timing before the time-out is completed. A bypass switch, SI removes the delay action.

Circuit Notes Figure A shows the circuit of a direct-trigger timing light. The trigger voltage is taken from the car's ignition circuit by a direct connection to a spark plug. A circuit using an inductive pickup is shown in Fig. B. A trigger transformer is used to develop the high-voltage pulse for triggering. The triggering circuit consists ofTl, Cl, SCRl, inductive pickup coil T2, and the waveshaping components in the SCR's gate circuit. When the spark plug fires, it induces a pulse in pickup coil T2 that triggers the SCR gate. The SCR fires and discharges C2 through the primary of Tl. The secondary of Tl feeds a high-voltage pulse to the trigger electrode of the flash tube. That pulse causes the gas-usually neon or xenon-to ionize. The ionized gas provides a low-resistance path for Cl to discharge, thereby creating a brilliant flash of light. Resistor RI limits current from the supply as the tube fires. When Cl is fully discharged the strobe tube cuts off and returns to its "high-resistance" state. The current through R2 is not enough to sustain conduction through SCRl, so it cuts off and remains off until it is re-triggered by a gate pulse.

Circuit Notes Ul is configured to operate in the standard astable mode, providing a form of relaxation oscillator. When power is applied, C2 initially charges through Rl, R2 and R3 to two-thirds of the supply voltage. At that point, Ul senses that its threshold voltage at pin 6 has been reached, and triggers the timer, causing its output at pin 3 to go high. That high, applied to the base of Ql, keeps the transistor in the off state. Now C2 begins to discharge through R2 to pin 7 of Ul. When C2 has discharged to about one-third of the supply voltage, Ul is toggled back to its original state. C2 starts to charge again, as pin 3 of Ul goes low. The low at pin 3 causes Ql-which serves as an emitterfollower buffer stage-to turn on, allowing current to flow through the coil of relay Kl. That, in turn, causes Kl's contacts to close, applying power to the wipers. The charge time of capacitor C2 is determined by the setting of potentiometer R3.Capacitor C2 should be a tantalum type, and actually, almost any 12-volt coil relay with sufficiently heavy contacts should serve well.

Circuit Notes

This circuit switches car headlights to the low beam state when it senses the lights of an on-coming car. The received light is very low level and highly directional, indicating the use of a lens with the detector. A relatively large amount of hysteresis is built into the circuit to prevent "flashing lights." Sensitivity is set by the 22 megohm resistor to about 0.5 ft. candle at the transistor (0.01 at the lens), while hysteresis is determined by the RI, R2 resistor voltage divider, parallel to the D41K3 collector emitter, which drives the 22 megohm resistor; maximum switching rate is limited by the 0.1 "F capacitor to IS/minute.

Circuit Notes
One way to charge Ni-Cad batteries rapidly without abuse is to measure cell temperature and taper the charge accordingly. The circuit uses a thermocouple for this function. A second thermocouple nulls out the effects of ambient temperature. The temperature difference between the two thermocouples determines the voltage which appears at the amplifier's positive input. As battery temperature rises, this small negative voltage (1C difference between the thermocouples equals 40 p.V) becomes larger. The amplifier, operating at a gain of 4300, gradually reduces the current through the battery to maintain its inputs at balance. The battery charges at a high rate until heating occurs and the circuit then tapers the charge. The values given in the circuit limit the battery surface temperature rise over ambient to about 5C.

The design provides current limiting to protect the charger's internal components while limiting the charging rate to prevent damaging severely discharged lead-acid batteries. The maximum recommended charging current is normally about one-fourth the ampere-hour rating of the battery. For example, the maximum charging current for an average 44 ampere-hour battery is 11 A. If the impedance of the load requires a charging current greater than the 11 A current limit, the circuit will go into current limiting. The amplitude of the charging pulses is controlled to maintain a maximum peak charging current of 11 A (8 A average).

Circuit Notes The dc motor is used as a generator with the voltage output being proportional to its rpm. The LTC1042 monitors the voltage output and provides the following control functions.

1. If generator voltage output is below 13.8 V, the control circuit is active and the NiCad battery is charging through the LM334 current source. The lead acid battery is not being charged. 2. If the generator voltage output is between 13.8 V and 15.1 V, the 12 V lead acid battery is being charged at about 1 amp/hour rate Oimited by the power FET). 3. If generator voltage exceeds 15.1 V (a condition caused by excessive wind speed or 12 V battery being fully charged) then a fixed load is connected limiting the generator rpm to prevent damage.
This charger can be used as a remote source of power where wind energy is plentiful such as on sailboats or remote radio repeater sites. Unlike solar powered panels, this system will function in bad weather and at night.

Circuit Notes The circuit charges a 9-V battery at about 30 mA per input ampere at 0.4 V. Ul, a quad Schmitt trigger, operate as an astable multivibrator to drive push-pull TMOS devices Ql and Q2. Power for Ul is derived from the 9-V battery via D4; power for Ql and Q2 is supplied by the solar cell. The multivibrator frequency, determined by R2-Cl, is set to 180 Hz for maximum efficiency from a 6.3-V filament transformer, Tl. The secondary of the transformer is applied to a full wave bridge rectifier, Dl, which is connected to the batteries being charged. The small Ni-Cad battery is a fail-safe excitation supply to allow the system to recover if the 9-Vbattery becomes fully discharged. A CdS photocell shuts off the oscillator in darkness to preserve the fail-safe battery during shipping and storage, or prolonged darkness.

RADIO ELECTRONICS

Circuit Notes An LM317 voltage regulator is configured as a constant-current source. It is used to supply the 50 mA charging current to S01-S06, an array of AA-cell battery holders. Each of the battery holders is wired in series with an LED and its associated shunt resistor. When the battery holder contains a battery, the LED glows during charging. Each battery holder/LED combination is paralleled by a 5.1-volt Zener diode. If the battery holder is empty, the Zener conducts the current around the holder. A timing circuit prevents overcharging. When power is applied to the circuit, timing is initiated by IC2, a CD4541 oscillator/programmable timer. The output of IC2 is fed to Ql. When that output is high, the transistor is on, and the charging circuit is completed. When the output is low, the transistor is off, and the path to ground is interrupted.

Circuit Notes Operation amplifier Al directly drives the VN64GA with the error signal to control the output voltage. Peak rectifier DI, Cl supplies error amplifier Al and the reference zener. This extra drive voltage must exceed its source voltage by several volts for the VN64GA to pass full load current. The output voltage is pulsating de which is quite satisfactory for battery charging. To convert the system to a regulated de supply, capacitor C2 is increased and another electrolytic capacitor is added across the load. The response time is very fast, being determined by the op-amp. The 2N4400 current limiter circuit prevents the output current from exceeding 4.5 A. However, maintaining a shorted condition for more than a second will cause the VN64GA to exceed its temperature ratings. A generous heat sink, on the order of IOC/W, must be used.

Circuit Notes This circuit was designed for testing fuel cells, but it could also be used for testing batteries under a constant current load. It provides a dynamic, constant current load, eliminating the need to manually adjust the load to maintain a constant load. For fuel cell application, the load must be able to absorb 20-40 A, and since a single cell develops only 0.5 to 1.0 V, bipolar power devices (such as a Darlington) are impractical. Therefore, this dynamic load was designed with a TMOS Power FET (Q2). With switch SI in~osition I, emitter follower QI and RI establish the current level for theload. In position 2, an external voltage can be applied to control the current level. Operational amplifier VI drives TMOS device QI, which sets the load current seen by the fuel cell or battery. The voltage drop across RI5, which is related to the load current, is then applied to V2, whose output is fed back to VI. Thus, if the voltage across RI5 would tend to change, feedback to the minus input of VI causes that voltage (and the load current) to remain constant. Adjustment of RI3 controls the voltslamp of feedback. The VOUT point is used to monitor the system.

While the battery is being charged, its voltage is measured at V. If the measured voltage is lower thao the minimum the relay will be energized, that will connect the charger circuit. When the battery voltage runs over the maximum set point, the relay is deenergized and it will be held that way until the voltage decreases below the minimum when it will be connected again. The voltage is lower than a threshold VB (low breaking voltage) the relay will be assumed that such a low voltage is due to one or several damaged battery components. Of course VB is much lower than the minimum set point.

Circuit Notes

The circuit provides a simple and cost-effective solution to matching resistors and capacitors, Impedances ZR and Zx form a half-bridge, while OSC and OSC excite the bridge differentially. The external op amp is a FET input amplifier (LF356) with very low input bias current on the order of 30 pA (typical). Cl allows ac coupling by blocking the dc common mode voltage from the bridge, while RI biases the output of LF356 to oV at dc. Use of FET input op amp insures that dc offset due to bias current through RI is negligible. Ac output of the demodulator is filtered via the uncommitted amp to provide dc voltage for the meter. The 10 k potentiometer, R5, limits the current into the meter to a safe level. Cahbration begins by placing equal impedances at ZR and Zx, and the system offset is nulled by the offset adjust circuit so that Pin 1 is at 0 V. Next, known values are placed at Zx and the meter deviations are calibrated. The bridge is now ready to measure an unknown impedance at Zx with 0.05% accuracy or better.

UNBALANCEO GAIN

o
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

Circuit Notes Indicator provides an accurate comparison of two voltages by indicating their degree of balance (or imbalance). Detecting small variations near the null point is difficult with the basic Wheatstone bridge alone. Amplification of voltage differences near the null point will improve circuit accuracy and ease of use. The IN9I4 diodes in the feedback loop result in high sensitivity near the point of balance (RlIR2 ~ R3/R4). When the bridge is unbalanced the amplifier's closed-loop gain is approximately RF/r, where r is the parallel equivalent of RI and R3. The resulting gain equation is G ~ RF(lIRI + 1IR3). During an unbalanced condition the voltage at point A is different from that at point B. This difference voltage CVAB)' amplified by the gain factor G, appears as an output voltage, As the bridge approaches a balanced condition (RlIR2 ~ R3/R4) , VAB approaches zero. As VAB approaches zero the IN9I4 diodes in the feedback loop lose their forward bias and their resistance increases, causing the total feedback resistance to increase. This increases circuit gain and accuracy in detecting a balanced condition. The figure shows the effect of approaching balance on circuit gain. The visual indicator used at the output of the OP-07 could be a sensitive voltmeter or oscilloscope.

Circuit Notes

The tone burst generator supplies a tone for onehalf second after the power supply is activated; its intended use is a communications network alert signal. Cessation of the tone is accomplished at the SCR, which shunts the timing capacitor Cl charge current when activated. The SCR is gated on when C2 charges up to the gate voltage which occurs in 0.5 seconds. Since only 70 p.A are available for triggering, the SCR must be sensitive enough to trigger at this level. The triggering current can be increased, of course, by reducing R2 (and increasing C2 to keep the same time constant). If the tone duration must be constant under widely varying supply voltage conditions, the optional Zener diode regulator circuit can be added, along with the new value for R2 R2' ~ 82 kll. If the SCR is replaced by an npn transistor, the tone can be switched on and off at will at the transistor base terminal.

SQUARE WAVEFORM MULTIBURST GENERATOR, Continued. Circuit Notes

The generator described here is intended for multiburst signal square waveform generation and can be used as a device for characterizing the response of TV monitor amplifiers as shown. The circuit is an RC oscillator with NAND gates (IC4-4011), with its capacitor C changed periodically by means of bilateral switches (IC2, IC3-4016). The control inputs of bilateral switches are driven by the outputs of a counter/decoder (IC1-4017) the operation of which is determined by generated clock pulses, so that they occur eight times at half-picture (field). These pulses are locked to vertical blank pulses. Horizontal synchronization is achieved by means of composite blanking pulses (negative polarization) applied to pins 1 and 5 of IC4. The oscillator frequency changes in the following discrete steps: 460 kHz, 680 kHz, 900 kHz, 1400 kHz, 2700 kHz, 3600 kHz, for the time of one frame. The video signal is fed on a mixer where it is superimposed with a composite sync signal.

Circuit Notes Timer UI operates as a free-running oscillator at 60 Hz, providing trigger pulses to timer U2 which operates in the mono stable mode. Resistor RI is fixed and capacitor ex is the capacitor being measured. While the output of U2 is 60 Hz, the duty cycle depends on the value of ex. U3 is a combination low-pass filter and unity-gain follower whose dc voltage output is the time-averaged amplitude of the output pulses of U2, as shown in the timing diagram. The diagram shows when the value of ex is small the duty cycle is relatively low. The output pulses are narrow and produce a lower average dc voltage level at the output of U3. As the capacitance value of ex increases, the duty cycle increases making the output pulses at U2 wider and the average dc level output at U3 increases. The graph illustrates capacitance values of O.OII'F to O.II'F plotted against the output voltage of U3. Notice the excellent linearity and direct one-to-one scale calibration of the meter. If this does not occur the lOO k ohm resistor, RI, can be replaced with a potentiometer which can be adjusted to the proper value for the meter being used.

Circuit Notes

The principle of operation is counting the pulse number derived from a constant frequency oscillator during a fixed time interval produced by another lower frequency oscillator. This oscillator uses the capacitor being measured as the timing. The capacitance measurement is proportional during pulse counting during a fixed time interval. The astable oscillator formed by IClc produces a pulse train of constant frequency. Gate ICla also forms an oscillator whose oscillation period is given approximately by the equation: T=O.7 RC. Period T is linearly dependent on the capacitance C. This period is used.as the time interval for one measurement. The differentiator network following the oscillator creates the negative spikes shaped in narrow pulses by IClb NAND Schrnitt Trigger. The differentiator formed by RI and Cl produces a negative spike which resets the counters. The display shows the number of high frequency oscillator pulses entering the counter during the measurement period.

Circuit Notes A silicon-controlled rectifier is installed ID parallel with the 12-V line and connected to a normally-closed 12-V relay, KI. The SCR's gate circuit is used to sample the applied voltage. As long as the applied voltage stays below a given value, SCRl remallis off and Kl's contacts remalli closed, thereby supplying power to the load. When the source voltage rises above 12 V, sufficient current is applied to the gate of SCRl to trigger it into conduction. The trigger point of SCRl is dependent on the setting of RI. Once SCRl is triggered (activating the relay), Kl' s contacts open, halting current flow to the load.

LINEAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

Circuit Notes This circuit will turn off current in a load 12 ns after it exceeds a preset value. Under nonnal conditions the voltage across the 10 ohm shunt is smaller than the potential at the LTI016's negative input. This keeps Ql off and Q2 receives bias, driving the load. When an overload occurs the current through the 10 ohm sense resistor begins to increase. When this current exceeds the preset value, the LTI016's outputs reverse. This provides ideal turn-on drive for Ql and it cuts off Q2 in 5 ns. The delay from the onset of excessive load current to complete shutdown is just 13 ns. Once the circuit has triggered, the LTl0l6 is held in its latched state by feedback from the non-inverting output. When the load fault has been cleared the pushbutton can be used to reset the circuit.

Circuit Notes There are some classes of circuits that require the power supply to be disconnected if the power supply voltage falls below a certain value. As an example, the National LM199 precision reference has an on chip heater which malfunctions with supply voltages below 9 volts causing an excessive device temperature. The ICL8212 can be used to detect a power supply voltage of 9 volts and turn the power supply off to the LM199 heater section below that voltage.

Circuit Notes This circuit is faster than a fuse and automatically resets itself when a short is removed. The normal regulated dc input line is opened and the phototransistor of the opto isolator is connected in series with the source and regulator. Between the output of the regulator and ground is a LED and an associated current-limiting resistor, placed physically close to the surface of the photosensitive device. As long as the regulator is delivering its rated output, the LED glows and causes the photo device to have a low resistance. Full current is thus allowed toilow. If a short circuit occurs on the output side of the regulator, the LED goes dark, the resistance of the photo device increases, and the regulator shuts off. When the short is removed, the LED glows, and the regulator resumes operation.

Circuit Notes

Where it is desirable to shut down equipment rather than allow it to operate on excessive supply voltage, an electronic "crowbar" circuit can be employed to quickly place a ~hort-circuit across the power lines, thereby dropping the voltage across the protected device to near zero and blowing a fuse. Since the TRIAC and SBS are both bilateral devices, the circuit is equally useful onac or dc supply lines. With the values shown for RI, R2 and R3, the crowbar operating point can be adjusted over the range of 60 to 120 volts dc or 42 to 84 volts ac. The resistor values can be changed to cover a different range of supply voltages. The voltage rating of the TRIAC must be greater than the highest operating point as set by R2. 11 is a low power incandescenUamp with a voltage rating equal to the supply voltage. It may be used to check the set point and operation of the unit by opening the test switch and adjusting the input or set point to fire the SBS.

Circuit Notes

The circuit provides three square wave outputs with 120 0 of phase difference between each other. Reference clock frequency is twice that of the required frequenc}'. This can be obtained from a crystal oscillator with a chain of dividers or by using LM 555 in 50% duty cycle astable mode. If liT is the frequency of the reference clock, the dual timer 556 is connected to give two mono-stable output pulses of duration T/3 and 2T/3. The first timerR and C value are adjusted so that ta = 1.1RaCa = T/3 and the second timer R and C values so that tb = 1.1RbCb = 2T/3. For triggering the two monostables a negative pulse train (1st) is derived from the reference clock with a differentiator and a clipper combination as shown. The three pulse trains trigger three JK flip flops giving three phase square wave outputs.

Circuit Notes

An op amp is used as a comparator and a sink for LED current. The output voltage of the amplifier changes about 1.4 V depending on the direction of the current. Only one transistor is on at any time. Maximum LED current is limited to 25 mA by overcurrent protection of the uA741. If LEDs are not capable of carrying such a current or an alternative op amp is used and an additional resistor RIim is necessary.

(A) To maintain an alarm condition when an overvoltage transient disappears, add an SCR to the comparator circuits. For SCR operation, voltages to the comparator inputs are inverted. (B) The triple-voltage monitoring circuit detects transient power-supply overvoltages. If excessive voltage momentarily appears at the 5, 12 and -12 V inputs, the LED for that circuit lights and the beeper sounds for as long as the overvoltage lasts.

Circuit Notes

The voltage to be compared is fed through diode Dl and D2 to the voltage dividers Rl and R5 where the low and high limits are present. When the voltage level of an input signal exceeds the high threshold limit set with potentiometer Rl, the diode Dl becomes forward biased and the increased voltage on the inputs of the op amp drives it into positive saturation. Similarly, a decrease of the input voltage at the op amp inputs turns the op amp to positive saturation. ~Potentiometer R3 is used for zeroing the op amp in the off state.

Circuit Notes Input 1 is used as a gating period, during which a single rising edge on input 2 will cause a logic 1 output-any other number, indicating non-identical frequencies causes a logic 0 output. ICla converts input 1 to a narrow pulse which initializes IC2 which forms a twostage shift register clocked by input 2. On the first edge of input 2 a logic 1 appears on the output of IC2b and for all subsequent inputs a logic 0 is present. At the end of the gating period this output is latched by IC3 forming the lock output. As this is only valid for one input period a monostable is added to the output to enable, for example, visual monitoring of the output. Either output from IC3 can be used depending on which state is most important. As connected the failure state is indicated. DEMONSTRATION COMPARATOR CIRCUIT

The circuit provides unambiguous LED + or - bar readout with steps of 0.1 %. The reference frequency is multiplied by the PLLICl and divider ICg to output 64 x F (reO and this is then gated by dividing F (measure) by 32 in ICS thus is F (reO = (measure) then IC2 counts 1024 pulses. Should the count be more than 1031 than the latch IC4clIC4a is set to indicate count too high (F (measure) F (reO) and if the count is less than 1017 then IC3/IC4b indicate count too low (F (measure) F (reO.

When the two frequencies are within + or - 0.6% the LSB's of the counter IC2 are decoded and latched by IC7 and displayed on LED's IC6c resets the counter after latching the data.

Differential multiplexers are generally used in process control applications to eliminate errors due to common mode signals. In this circuit however, advantage is taken of the dual multiplexing capability of the switch. This is achieved by using the multiplexer to select pairs of RC networks to control the pulse width of the multivibrator. This can be a particularly useful feature in process control applications where there is a requirement for a variable width sample "window" for different control signals.

If the control logic is timed so that the SampleHold-ADC section is converting one analog value while the mux-amplifier section is allowed to settle to the next input value, throughout rates greater than 156 KHz can be achieved. The AM-543 is used with Datel's ADV-817, a 12-bit hybrid AID with a 2psec conversion rate, the SHM-6, a 0.01%, 1psec hybrid Sample-Hold, and the MX-1616,

a low cost, high-speed monolithic analog multiplexer. The system works as follows: The I'P selects a channel and initiates a conversion at G = 1 and then looks at the MSB of the conversion result. If the MSB = 1, the I'P will store the value. If the MSB = 0, the I'P will select G = 2. The JLP will repeat the cycle of gain incrementing, comparison, and analog-to-digital conversion until the MSB = 1. The I'P will then test for an output of all1's, as this is the full-scale output of the AID. If the output is all 1's, the I'P will decrement the gain by 1 step and perform the final conversion.

Circuit Notes

The monitoring circuit consists of four tri-color LEDs driven by an equal number of op amps configured as gain-of-one inverting amplifiers. Each LED is wired in the circuit so that it glows red when the input to the op amp is high. and green when the input is low. The LED remains off when the input is disconnected from a circuit, when it's at ground potential, and when it's connected to a 3-state output that's in the highimpedance state. Each input has an impedance of 10,000 ohms preventing the circuit

BUFFERED BREAKOUT BOX, Continued.

from loading communication lines. The op amp requires both positive and negative supply voltages to properly drive the LEDs. Both voltages are supplied by a single, ninevolt battery. The battery supplies the positive source directly. The negative source is supplied via a CMOS 555 oscillator/timer that's configured as an astable oscillator, which is used to drive a standard diode/capacitor voltage doubler. When the 555 is connected to the monitoring circuit, the output voltage is not 18 volts (2 x 9), but a little under nine volts, due to loading. The circuit draws about 16 mA with all LEDs off; with all four on, it draws between 20 and 30 mA, depending on how many LEDs are high, and how many are low. The use of CMOS op amps reduces quiescent current drain considerably.

ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING

Circuit Notes The circuit will operate reliably from below 1 MRz to above 400 MRz. With Vcc = 5 V the output of the second inverter essentially attains a full swing from 0 V to 5 V. Such large logic output levels and broad frequency range capabilities make this oscillator quite suitable for driving MOS components such as CPU, controller chip, peripheral devices, as well as other TTL products. A damping resistor in series between the clock output of the oscillator and the input of the device being driven will remove the undesirable undershoot and ringing caused by the high speed CMOS part.

ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING

Circuit Notes The data separator is intended for use with 8" flexible diskettes with IBM 3870 soft sectored format. The circuit delivers data and clock (B) and clock pulses (D). These two signals must be in such a sequence that the negative edge of the clock pulse is at the middle of a data cell. Unseparated data (A) from the floppy unit is shaped with one shot Nl. Trimmer PI should be adjusted so that pulses (B) are I I's wide. This signal synchronizes PLL N2 with a free ruffi1ing frequency adjusted to 500 kHz. The output of the PLL is 90 out of phase with its input. D-type flip-flop N3 is connected as a divider by two and changes state at each positive edge of (C). N4, connected as a shift register, looks for four consecutive missing pulses. When this happens, the circuit is resynchroni2ed with (E) so that the negative edge of (D) is in the middle of a data cell.

Circuit Notes This fixed frequency triangular wavefonn generator driven by a TTL square wave generates typically 16-Vp-p triangles at frequencies up to several MRz. It uses only one NAND open collector gate, or one open collector inverter as a fast integrator with gain. Careful successive adjustments of R and PI are needed. When correct adjustments are reached, output amplitude and linearity are largely independent of the value of VB' from a minimum of 18 Vup to 35 V. The value of C shown is for 100 kHz; at higher frequencies, it must be reduced in proportion.

Circuit Notes Conversion of triangle wave shapes to sinusoids is usually accomplished by dioderesistor shaping networks, which accurately reconstruct the sine wave segment by segment. Two simpler and less costly methods may be used to shape the triangle waveform of the 566 into a sinusoid with less than 2% distortion. The non-linear IDSVDS transfer characteristic of a P-channel junction FET is used to shape the triangle waveform. The amplitude of the triangle waveform is critical and must be carefully adjusted to achieve a low distortion sinusoidal output. Naturally. where additional waveform accuracy is needed, the diode-resistor shaping scheme can be applied to the 566 with excellent results since it has very good output amplitude stability when operated from a regulated supply.

Circuit Notes
An ae voltmeter may be easily constructed. Simplicity of the circuit and low component count make it particularly attractive. The demodulator output is a full-wave rectified signal from the ac input at Pin 4. The de component on the rectified signal at Pin 5 varies linearity with the rms input at Pin 4 and thus provides an accurate rms-to-dc conversion at the output of the filter (Pin 1). eT is a variable capacitor that is tweaked until~ the oscillator signal to the sync input of the demodulator is in phase with the ac signal at Pin 4.

The 2N4416 JFET will provide noise figures of less than 3 dB and power gain of greater than 20 dB. The ]FET's outstanding low crossmodulation and low intermodulation distortion provides an ideal characteristic for an input stage. The output feeds into an LMl71 used as a balanced mixer. This configuration greatly reduces local oscillator radiation both into the antenna and into the if strip and also reduces if signal feedthrough.

Circuit Notes In this circuit, integration is performed by using a conventional operational amplifier
and feedback capacitor, CF. When the integrator's output crosses the nominal threshold level at pin 6 of the LM131, the timing cycle is initiated. The average current fed into the op amp's summing point (pin 2) is i x (1.1 ~Ct) x f which is perfectly balanced with - VIN/R1N In this circuit, the voltage offset of the LM131 input comparator does not affect the offset or accuracy of the V-to-F converter as it does in the stand-alone V-to-F converter, nor does theLM131 bias current or offset current. Instead, the offset voltage and offset current of the operational amplifier are the only limits on how small the signal can be accurately converted.

Circuit Notes

Inverters VIa and VIb form a 20-kiIohertz oscillator whose square wave output-further shaped by D2, R4, and R5 and by D3, R6, and R7--drives power field-effect transistors Q2 and Q3. The p-channel and n-cha.nnel FETs conduct alternately, in a pushpull configuration. When Q2 conducts, the positive charge on Cout forces diode D4 to conduct as well, which produces a positive voltage, determined by zener diode D5, at terminal A. Similarly, when Q3. in its turn conducts. the negative charge on Cout forces D7 to do so as well. A negative voltage. therefore. develops at terminal B. whose level is set by D6.

Circuit Notes This circuit shows how to cascade counters and retain correct leading zero blanking. The NAND gate detects whether a digit is active since one of the two segments a or b is active on any unblanked number. The flip flop is clocked by the least significant digit of the high order counter, and if this digit is not blanked, the Q output of the flip flop goes high and turns on the npn transistor. thereby inhibiting leading zero blanking on the low order counter.

The figure shows the use of a CD4016 analog multiplex to multiplex the digital outputs back to the FUNCTION input. Since the CD40l6 is a digitally controlled analog transmission gate, no level shifting of the digit output is required. The CD4051's or CD4052's could also be used to select the proper inputs for the multiplexed input on the ICM7226 from 2 or 3 bit digital inputs. These analog multiplexers may also be used in systems in which the mode of operation is controlled by a microprocessor rather than directly from front panel switches. TIL multiplexers such as the 74LS153 or 74LS251 may also be used, but some additional circuitry will be required to convert the digit output to TIL compatible logic levels.

Circuit Notes

A straightforward circuit using a LM311 for the level detector and a CMOS analog gate to discharge the capacitor is shown. An important property of this type of counter is the ease with which the count can be changed; it is only necessary to change the voltage at which the comparator trips. A low cost A-D converter can also be designed using the same principle since the digital count between reset periods is directly proportional to the analog voltage used as a reference for the comparator. A considerable amount of hysteresis is used in the comparator. This ensures that the capacitor is completely discharged during the reset period. In a more sophisticated circuit, a dual comparator "window detector" could be used, the lower trip point is set close to ground to ensure complete discharge. The upper trip point could then be adjusted independently to determine the pulse count.

DISPLAY TEST

~Fig. 18-7

Clrcuil Notes

The display shows each increment. By using mode 2, external debouncing of the gate switch is unnecessary, provided the switch bounce is less than 35ms. The 3 V lithium battery can be replaced without disturbing operation if a suitable capacitor is connected in parallel with it. The display should be disconnected, if possible, during the procedure to minimize current drain. The capacitor should be large enough to store charge for the amount of time needed to physically replace the battery(t = Veil). A 100 I'F capacitor initially charged to 3 V will supply a current of 1. 0 I'A for 50 seconds before its voltage drops to 2.5 V, which is the minimum operating voltage for the ICM7249. Before the battery is removed, the capacitor should be placed in parallel, across the V DD and GND terminals. After the battery is replaced, the capacitor can be removed and the display reconnected.

Circuit Notes The FET input amplifier has fixed bias with source feedback. This provides a very high input impedance with very low capacitance. The FET amplifier drives an emitter follower which, in spite of the fact that it has a low output impedance, feeds a transformer with a 3:1 turns ratio for a nine-fold impedance reduction. The result is an impedance at the ceramic resonator of a few ohms masimum. The varactor-tuned ceramic resonator oscillator has a significant frequency-temperature coefficient. The tuning range of the vea is approximately 232 kHz, with a temperature coefficient of-350 Hz per degree centigrade. When using this circuit as a vea, the entire 232 kHz range cannot be used because some of the tuning range must be sacrificed for the temperature dependence. If the required tuning range were 200 kHz, leaving 32 kHz for temperature variation, the resulting temperature variation would be more than 90 0 e.

The oscillator delivers an output of high spectral purity without any substantial sacrifice of the usual stability of a crystal oscillator. The crystal in addition to determining the oscillator's frequency, is used also as a low-pass filter for the unwanted harmonics and as a bandpass filter for the sideband noise. The noise bandwidth is limited to less than 100 Hz. All higher harmonics are substantially suppressed-60 dB down for the third harmonic of the 4-MHz fundamental oscillator frequency.

HIGH-FREQUENCY CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR, Continued. Circuit Notes

A highspeed oscillator is possIble by combining an MECL 10 K crystal oscillator with an MECL III frequency doubler as shown. One section of the MCIOlOl is connected as a 100 MHz crystal oscillator with the crystal in series with the feedback loop. The LC tank circuit tunes the 100 MHz harmonic of the crystal and may be used to calibrate the circuit to the exact frequency. A second section of the MC10101 buffers the crystal oscillator and gives complementary 100 MHz signals. The frequency doubler consists of two MClOI01 gates as phase shifters and two MC1662 NOR gates. For a 50% duty cycle at the output, the delay to the true and complement 100 MHz signals should be 90. This may be built precisely with 2.5 ns delay lines for the 200 MHz output or approximated by the two MC10101 gates. The gates are easier to incorporate and cause only a slight skew in output signal duty cycle. The MC1662 gates combine the 4 phase 100 MHz signals as shown in Figure B. The outputs of the MC1662's are wire-OR connected to give the 200 MHz signal. MECL III gates are used because of the bandwidth required for 200 MHz signals. One of the remaining MC1662 gates is used as a VBB bias generator for the oscillator. By connecting the NOR output to the input, the circuit stays in the center of the logic swing or at VBB A O.OOlI'F capacitor ensures the VBB circuit does not oscillate.

As shown, the crystal is a tuned circuit between transistors Ql and Q2, which are connected in the common-emitter configuration. Positive feedback provided by means of R permits oscillation. The signal at the collector of Q2 is 'squared by Q3, which switches between cutoff and saturation. R7 permits short-circuit-proof operation.

Circuit Notes A tapped-coil Colpitts oscillator is used at Ql to provide four tuning ranges from 1.7 to 3.LMHz, 3.0 to 5.6 MHz, 5.0 to 12 MHz and 11.5 to 31 MHz. A Zener diode (D2) is used at Ql to lower the operating voltage of the oscillator. A small value capacitor is used at C5 to ensure light coupling to the tuned circuit. Q2 is a source-follower buffer stage. It helps to isolate the oscillator from the generator-output load. The source of Q2 is broadly tuned by means of RFC1. Energy from Q2 is routed to a fed-back, broadband class-A amplifier. A 2 dB attenuator is used at the output of T1 to provide a 50 ohm tennination for Q3 and to set the generator-output impedance at 50 ohms. C16, C17 and RFC2 form a brute-forceRF decoupling network to keep the generator energy from radiating outside the box on the 12 V supply.

Transistor Ql, a 2N3563, and its associated components form an oscillator circuit that will oscillate if, and only if, a good crystal is connected to the test clips. The output from the oscillator is then rectified by the two lN4148 diodes and filtered by Cl, a .OlI'F capacitor. The positive voltage developed across the capacitor is applied to the base of Q2, another 2N3563, causing it to conduct. When that happens, current flows through LED1, causing it to glow. Since only a good crystal will oscillate, a glowing LED indicates that the crystal is indeed OK. The circuit is powered by a standard nine-volt transistor,radio battery and the SPST pushbutton power-switch is included to prolong battery life.

Circuit Notes

Care must be taken to eliminate any stray currents from flowing into the current summing node. This can be accomplished by forcing all points surrounding the input to the same potential as the input. In this case the potential of the input is at virtual ground, or av. Therefore, the case of the device is grounded to intercept any stray leakage currents that may otherwise exist between the 15 V input terminals and the inverting input summing junctions. Feedback capacitance should be kept to a minimum in order to maximize the response time of the circuit to step function input currents . .The time constant of the circuit is approximately the produce of the feedback capacitance Clb times the feedback resistor %. For instance, the time constant of the circuit is 1 sec if Clb ~ IpF. Thus, it takes approximately 5 sec (5 time constants) for the circuit to stabilize to within 1% of its final output voltage after a step function of input current has been -applied. Clb of less than 0.2 to 0.3 pF can be achieved with proper circuit layout.

Circuit Notes

The preamplifier is protected from excessive input signals of either polarity by the 2N5909 junction field-effect transistor. A nulling circuit makes it possible to set the preamplifier output voltage to zero at a fixed low level (up to 1O-8A) of the input current. (This level is called the standing current and corresponds to the zero-signal level of the instrumentation.) The opposing (offset) current is generated in the 109 feedback resistor to buck the standing current. Different current ranges are reached by feeding the preamplifier output to low and high gain amplifier chains. To reduce noise, each chain includes a 1.5 Hz corner active filter.

For FM demodulation applications where the bandwidth is less than 10% of the carrier frequency, an XR0567 can be used to detect the presence of the carrier signal. The output of the XR-567 is used to turn off the FM demodulator when no carrier is present, thus acting as a squelch. 1n the circuit shown, an XR-215 FM demodulator is used because of its wide dynamic range, high signal/noise ratio and low distortion. The XR-567 will detect the presence of a carrier at frequencies up to 500 kHz.

Circuit Notes Amplifying and limiting of the AM carrier is accomplished by the if gain block providing 55 dB of gain or higher with a limiting of 40 fJ-V. The limited carrier is then applied to the detector at the carrier ports to provide the desired switching function. The signal is then demodulated by the synchronous AM demodulator (1496) where the carrier frequency is attentuated due to the balanced nature of the device. Care must be taken not to overdrive the signal input so that distortion does not appear in the recorded audio. Maximum conversion gain is reached when the carrier signals are in phase as indicated by the phase-gain relationship. Output filtering is also necessary to remove high frequency sum components of the carrier from L'Ie audio signal.

Circuit Notes

The NE564 is used as an FM demodulator. The connections for operation at 5 V and 12 V are shown in Figures 21-4A and 21-4B. The input signal is ac coupled with the output signal being extracted at Pin 14. Loop filtering is provided by the capacitors at Pins 4 and 5 with additional filtering being provided by the capacitor at Pin 14. Since the conversion gain of the veo is not very high, to obtain sufficient demodulated output signal the frequency deviation in the input signal should be 1% or higher.

Circuit Notes The circuit uses a Signetics NE565 PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) as a detector to recover the SCA signal. The input to the SCA decoder circuit is connected to an FM receiver at a point between the FM discriminator and the deemphasis filter network. The PLL, ICI, is tuned to 67 kHz by R7, a 5 K potentiometer. Tuning need not be exact since the circuit will seek and lock onto the subcarrier. The demodulated signal from the FM receiver is fed to the input of the 565 through a high-pass filter consisting of two 510 pF capacitors (Cl and C2) and a 4.7 K resistor (RI). Its purpose is to serve as a coupling network and to attenuate some of the main channel spill. The demodulated SCA signal at pin 7 passes through a three-stage deemphasis network as shown. The resulting signal is around 50 mV, with the response extending to around 7 kHz.

Circuit Notes For some applications it is important to have a tone decoder with narrow bandwidth and fast response time. This can be accomplished by the dual time constant tone decoder circuit shown. The circuit has two low-pass loop filter capacitors, C2 and C' 2' With no input signal present, the output at pin 8 is high, transistor Q] is off, and C' 2 is switched out of the circuit. Thus, the loop low-pass filter is comprised of C2 , which can be kept as small as possible for minimum response time. When an in-band signal is detected, the output at pin 8 will go low, Q] will turn on, and capacitor C' 2 will be switched in parallel with capacitor C2 . The low-pass filter capacitance will then be C2 + C' 2' The value of C' 2 can be quite large in order to achieve narrow bandwidth. During the time that no input signal is being received, the bandwidth is determined by capacitor C2 .

Circuit Notes
The composite input signal is preamplified by transistor Ql and is then coupled to the high-pass filter composed of C3, C4, R6, and R7. The filtered audio is then passed to ICl, an MC1310P "Coilless Stereo Demodulator." That IC is normally used to demodulate broadcastband FM signals, but by changing the frequency of its onboard VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) slightly (from 19 kHz to 15.734 kHz), we can use that IC to detect stereo-TV signals. A block diagram of the MC1310P is shown in Fig. 22-5. Notice that the components connected to pin 14 control the VCO's frequency, hence the pilot-detect and carrier frequencies. For use in an FMreceiver, the VCO would run at four times the 19 kHz pilot frequency (76 kHz), but for our application, it will run at four times the 15.734 kHz pilot frequency of stereo TV, or 62.936 kHz. The MC1310P divides the master VCO signal by two in order to supply the 31.468 kHz carrier that is used to detect the L - R audio signal. The L - R signal undergoes normal FM detection, and at that point we've got two audio signals: L + Rand L - R. The decoder block in the IC performs the addition and subtraction to produce the separate left and right signals. RIO and CI0 form a de-emphasis network that compensates for the 75 JLs pre-emphasis that the left channel underwent; R12 and Cll perform the same function for the right channel.

Circuit Notes

A resistive voltage divider is used to establish a bias voltage for the input (Pins 2 and 3). The demodulated (multiplex) FM signal is fed to the input through a two-stage high-pass filter, both to effect capacitive coupling and to attenuate the strong signal of the regular channel. A total signal amplitude, between 80 mV and 300 mV, is required at the input. Its source should have an impedance of less than 10,000 ohm. The PhaseLocked Loop is tuned to 67 kHz with a 5000 otun potentiometer, only approximate tuning is required since the loop will seek the signal. The demodulated output (Pin 7) passes through a three-stage low-pass filter to provide de-emphasis and attenuate the highfrequency noise which often accompanies SeA transmission. Note that no capacitor is provided directly at Pin 7; thus, the circuit is operating as a first-order loop. The demodulated output signal is in the order of 50 mV and the frequency response extends to 7 kHz.

Circuit Notes The resistor divider connected between Ql and Q2 supplies IH to Ql after input A triggers it. It also prevents input B from triggering Q2 until Ql conducts. Consequently. the first B input pulse after input A is applied will supply current to RL.

Circuit Notes This zero-crossing detector uses a dual LM393 comparator, and easily controls hysteresis by the reference levels which are set on the comparator inputs. The circuit illustrated is.powered by 10-V power supplies. The input signal can be an ac signal level up to + 8 V. The output will be a positive going pulse of about 4.4 V at the zerocrossover point. These parameters are compatible with TTL logic levels. The input signal is simultaneously applied to the non-inverting input of comparator A and the inverting input of comparator B. The inverting input of comparator A has a + 10 mV reference with respect to ground, while the non-inverting input of comparator B has a -10 mV reference with respect to ground. As the input signal swings positive (greater than + 10 mV), the output of comparator "A" will be low while comparator "B" will have a high output. When the input signal swings negative Oess than -10 mV), the reverse is true. The result of the combined outputs will be low in either case. On the other hand, when the input signal is between the threshold points ( 10 mVaround zero crossover), the output of both comparators will be high. If more hysteresis is needed, the 10 mV window may be made wider by increasing the reference voltages.

Circuit Notes National Semiconductor's DP8464B is primarily intended for use in disk systems as a pulse detector. However it can be easily used as a general purpose peak detector for analogue signals up to 5 MHz. The chip can handle signals between 20 and 66 mV peak-to-peak. The circuit includes a filter with constant group delay characteristics to band limit the signal. Typically the - 3 dB point for this filter will be at about 1. 5 times the highest frequency of interest. This differentiator network between pins 1 and 24 can be as simple as a capacitor, or can be more complex to band limit the differentiator response.

Circuit Notes
Simple frequency limit detectors providing a GO/NO-GO output for use with varying amplitude input signals may be conveniently implemented with the [CL8211/8212. In the application shown. the first [CL8212 is used as a zero-crossing detector. The output circuit consisting of R3 ~ and C2 results in a slow output positive ramp. The negative range is much faster than the positive range. Rs and Rt; provide hysteresis so that under all circumstances the second [CL8212 is turned on for sufficient time to discharge C3. The time constant of R7C3 is much greater than R4C2 Depending upon the desired output polarities for low and high input frequencies. either an [CL8211 or an [CL8212 may be used as the output driver. The circuit is sensitive to supply voltage variations and should be used with a stabilized power supply. At very low frequencies the output will switch at the input frequency.

Fig. 24-1

Circuit Notes Two MCI408-8-bit D/A converters, A and B in the circuit diagram, are used. The four least-significant bits of A are tied to zero. The four most significant bits of the 12-bit data are connected to the remaining four input pins. The eight least significant bits of the 12-bit data are connected to the eight input pins of B. The four most significant bits of the 12-bit data together have a weight of 16 relative to the remaining eight bits. Hence, the output from B is reduced by a factor of 16 and summed with, the output from A using the surmning op-amp configuration D. Voltage regulator chip, LM7236, is used to provide an accurate reference voltage, 2 V, for the MC1408. The full-scale voltage of the converter is VI. x 9.9609 + 1 x (9.375) or 9.9976 V. The step size of the converter is 2.4 mY.

Circuit Notes
The step size of the converter is variable by selection of the high order data bits. The first DAC, A, has a stable reference current supplied via the 10.24 V reference lC and RI. R2 provides bias cancellation. As shown, only the first 4 MSB inputs are used, giving a step size of 225/256 x 2.048/16 = 0.127 mA. This current supplies the reference for DAC B whose step size is then 0.1275/256 = 0.498 I'A. Complementary voltage outputs are available for unipolar output and using R3 = R4 = 10 K, Vout is 10.2 V approximately, with a step size (1 LSB) of approximately 5 mY. If desired an op amp can be added to the output to provide a low impedance output with bipolar output symmetrical about ground, if R5 = R6 within 0.05%. Note that offset null is required, and all resistors except R2 and R3 should be 1% high stability types. By using lower order address lines than illustrated for DAC A, a smaller step size (and therefore full-scale output) can be obtained. Unused high order bits can be manipulated high or low to change the relative position of the full-scale output.

Circuit Notes

<Xl

The circuit consists of two basic circuits, the oscillator and the detector. The oscillator uses an FET in a Colpitts configuration. The energy circulating in the oscillator tank is coupled through C4 to the detector circuit, where a small diode (D2) rectifies it, feeding a dc voltage to the Darlington pair (Q2, A3) controlled by the sensitivity control (R3). Any small

variations in the bias of the amplifier will cause large variations of current through the LED indicator in the DIP mode; however, ill the PEAK mode the current produces a corresponding voltage drop through R5 and the action of the LED is reversed. The circuit shown will work practically on any frequency from LF to VHF if the appropriate components are used.

Circuit Notes

Indicator was designed for displaying the peak level of small ac signals from a variety of transducers including microphones, strain gauges and photodiodes. The circuit responds to input signals contained within the audio frequency spectrum, i.e., 30 Hz to 20 kHz, although a reduced response extends up to 40 kHz. Maximum sensitivity for the component values shown, with VRl fully clockwise, is 30 mV peak-to-peak. The indicator can be calibrated by setting VRl when an appropriate input signal is applied.

Circuit Notes

The logic input is applied to opto-isolators U1 and U2 with, respectively, npn and pnp emitter follower outputs. Dc balance is adjusted by potentiometer R2. The emitter followers drive the gates of Q1 and Q2. the complementary TMOS pairs. With a 12 V supply, the swing at the common source output point is about 12 V peak-to-peak. By adding a 18-V boost circuit, as shown, the output swing can approach the rail swing. 1bis circuit applies the output to transformer T1, which is rectified by diode bridge D3, regulated by U3 and U4, and then applied to the collectors of U1 and U2. Diodes D1 and D2 are forward-biased when 12-V supplies are used, but they are back-biased when the 18-V boost is used.

Circuit Notes The circuit works from dc to 50 MHz and will deliver pulses as short as 10 ns. It is driven by a TTL signal through a 740S00 quad Schottky NAND gate, lC A through lCn' Transistor Q1, wired as a common-emitter amplifier, drives transistor Q2,,, simple emitter follower. Transistors Q3 and Q4, wired in parallel, also form an emitter follower and drive the output. When Q3 and Q4 are both turned off, transistor Q5 works as a low-impedance sink. Schottky diodes Dl and D2 prevent Q1 and Q5 from becoming saturated. To adjust the circuit, potentiometer RI is set to optimize the output pulse's fall time. lnductor 11, a peaking coil, should be adjusted to improve the rise time to wit.lrin a permissible 50/0 overshoot. Likewise, capacitor Cl can be varied to control preshooting. Further output pulse shaping is accomplished with the help of capacitor C2. Resistors R2 and R3 ensure a proper 50-ohm impedance at the amplifier's output when the pulse is on or off, respectively.

Circuit Notes

The circuit has a "floating" output, i.e., it behaves like an isolated transfonner winding, with the output amplitude remaining unchanged whether the center or either end of the load is grounded. This is achieved by making Z-out, common mode, infinite. The circuit consists of two current-sources in push-pull. Since each has infinite output Z, the common mode output impedance is also infinite. Connecting a resistor between the noninverting terminals of the op amps reduces the differential Z-out without alfecting the Z-common-mode. Since the output is floating, if the load is also floating there is no output ground reference, which results in malfunction. This can be corrected by reducing the common-mode Z slightly. R7 fulliIls this function. All resistors should be of close tolerance to give a good balance. The line driver provides +24 dB from 12 V or + 16 dB from 6 V supplies.

Circuit Notes Here's an effective little combination lock that you can put together in one evening's time. To open the lock, simply dial in the correct combination on the three rotary or thumbwheelswitches. With the correct combination entered, current flows through RI into Ql's gateterrninal, causing the SCR to latch in a conductive state. This sends a current through relay Kl, which responds by closing its contacts and actuating whatever load is attached. After opening the lock, twirl the dials of SI through S3 away from the correct combination so that nobody gets a look at it. The lock will remain open and your load will remain on because the SCR is latched on.

Circuit Notes

When button 512 (If) is pressed, a positive voltage fed through R1 appears at the base of transistor Q1, turning it on. When Q1 is conducting, pin 1 of U1 is brought to ground Oow) or the battery's negative terminal. With pin 1 low, two things occur: Pin 8 of U1 goes high ( + 9 volts de), turning on LED 1-indicating that the circuit has been armed-and pin 13 goes from high to low. Transistor Q2 requires a low signal or negative voltage on its base in order to conduct. It also needs a positive voltage on its emitter and a negative voltage on the collector. As long as the door switch (515) remains open (with the door itself closed), Q2's emitter will not receive the necessary positive voltage. If, however, an unauthorized person opens the door, thus closing switch 515 and placing a positive voltage on the emitter of Q1, the following sequence occurs: 1. Transistor Q2 conducts, receiving the necessary biasing current through a currentdivider network consisting of resistors R3 and R4. 2. As Q2 conducts, a voltage drop is developed across the voltage dividers made up of resistors R5 and R6. With R5 at 10,000 ohms and R6 at 1000 ohms, approximately one volt appears at the gate of5CR1. That's enough voltage to trigger the 5CR's gate.

SIMULATED INDUCTOR Circuit Notes With a constant current excitation, the voltage dropped across an inductance increases with frequency. Thus, an active device whose output increases with frequency can be characterized as an inductance. The circuit yields such a response with the effective inductance being equal to: L ~ R1R2C. The Q of this inductance depends upon RI being equal to R2. At the same time, however, the positive and negative feedback paths of the amplifier are equal leading to the distinct possibility of instability at high frequencies. RI should therefore always be slightly smaller than R2 to assure stable operation.

Circuit Notes In essence, the circuit is nothing more than an auto ignition coil and a set of points which accomplishes the same thing. A pulsing circuit made from a single CMOS NOR integrated circuit (Ul), opens and closes the relay contacts to simulate the action of the original breaker points. The relay pulser is divided into two clocking functions. The first circuit is a free-running squarewave generator that determines the rate or frequency of the pulses that activate the relay. It is essentially a pair of NOR gates connected as inverters and placed in a feedback loop, they are Ul-b. The oscillating period of the feedback loop is determined by timing components Cl, RI, and variable resistor R5.

Circuit Notes A touch-sensing circuit keeps the high-voltage generator cut off until something touches the fence wire. Contact with the fence sensing circuit wire starts the high-voltage generator which applies a series of 500 microsecond pulses at approximately 300 volts to the fence wire. Pulse repetition rate is determined by the intruder's resistance to earth ground. The lower the resistance, the higher the pulse rate. A ground rod is inserted several inches into the ground near the fence wire. In the sensing mode the neon lamp should not flicker or light. If it does, it indicates leakage between the fence wire and ground. If sensitivity is too great, it can be reduced by changing the 91 Meg resistor to 47 or 22 Meg as required.

Circuit Notes The receiver will accurately condition a wide range of light inputs at up to 10 MHz data rates. The optical signal is detected by the PIN photodiode and amplified by a broadband fed-back stage, Q1-Q3. A second, similar, stage gives further amplification. The output of this stage (Q5's collector) biases a 2-way peak detector (Q6-Q7). The maximum peak is stored in Q6' s emitter capacitor while the minimum excursion is retained in Q7's emitter capacitor. The dc value of Q5's output signal's mid-point appears at the junction of the 0.005 ~ capacitor and the 22 M ohm unit. This point will always sit midway between the signal's excursions, regardless of absolute amplitude. This signal-adaptive voltage is buffered by the low bias LTl0l2 to set the trigger voltage at the LTl016's positive input. The LTl016' s negative input is biased directly from Q5' s collector.

Circuit Notes

Dc power can also be controlled via fiberoptics. The circuit provides an insulated speed control path for a small dc actuator motor (,;; VI, hp). Control logic is a selfcontained module requiring about 300 mWat 12 V, which can be battery powered. The control module furnishes infrared pulses, at a rate of 160 Hz, with a duty cycle determined by the position of the speed adjust potentiometer. The programmable unijunction multivibrator provides approximately 10 mA pulses to theGFOE1A1 at duty cycles adjustable over a range of 1% to 99%. The infrared pulses are detected by the GFODlA1, amplified by the D39CLpnp Darlington, and supplied to the power drive switch, which is connected in a Schmitt trigger configuration to supply the motor voltage pulses during the infrared pulses. Thus, the motor's average supply voltage is pulse width modulated to the desired speed, while its current is maintained between pulses by the A1l5F freewheeling diode. The snubber network connected in parallel with the power switch minimizes peak power dissipation in the output transistor, and enhancing reliability. Larger hp motors can be driven by adding another stage of current gain, while longer fiber range lengths can be obtained with an amplifier transistor driving the GFOE1Al.

This receiver has two complementary outputs. one at a quiescent level of about 0.6 V and the second at 3 V. By adding a 4.7 V zener in series with the return bus. the effective VCC becomes 5.3 V and also the 0.6 V output level is translated up to about 5.3 V. This level is compatible with the reference input (5.9 V) of the single-ended powered op-amp acting as a comparator.

A low-pass filter is obtained by applying two parallel connections df R and C as shown in Fig. 2. The low-pass operation may be much improved with the circuit as given in Fig. 3.

This circuit is useful where fast signal acquisition and high precision are required, as in electronic scales. The filter's time constant is set by the 2 K ohm resistor and the IJ<F capacitor until comparator No. 1 switches. The time constant is then set by the 1.5 M ohm resistor and the IJ<F capacitor. Comparator No. 2 provides a quick reset. The circuit settles to a final value three times as fast as a simple 1.5 M ohm-1J<F filter, with almost no dc error.

Circuit Notes

The input signal is applied through R3 to the inverting input of the summing amplifier and the output is taken from the first integrator. The summing amplifier will maintain equal voltage at the inverting and non-inverting inputs. Defining 1/R1C1 as Wj and 1IR2C2 as W2' this is now a convenient form to look at the center-frequency Wo and filter Q.

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The op amp is connected in the inverting mode. Resistor R3 from the output to the inverting input sets the gain and current through the frequency -determining capacitor. Cl. Capacitor C2 provides feedback from the output to the junction of RI and R2. Cl and C2 are always equal in value. Resistor R2 may be made adjustable in order to adjust the center frequency which is determined from: 1 fa = - 211'C Rl+R2V, 1 --x R3 R1R2

When designing a filter of this typejt is best to select a value for Cl and C2. keeping them equal. Typical-audio filters have capacitor values from 0.01 /LF to 0.1 /LF which will result in reasonable values for the resistors.

Circuit Notes The circuit is composed of a relaxation oscillator formed by Ql and an SCR flip-flop formed by Q2 and Q3. With the supply voltage applied to the circuit, the timing capacitor Cl charges to the firing point of the PUT, 2 volts plus a diode drop. The output ofthe PUT is coupled through two 0.02 I'F capacitors to the gate of Q2and Q3. To clarify operation, assume that Q3 is on and capacitor C4 is charged plus to minus as shown in the figure. The next pulse from the PUT oscillator turns Q2 on. This places the voltage on C4 across Q3 which momentarily reverse biases Q3. This reverse voltage turns Q3 off. After discharging, C4 then charges with its polarity reversed to that shown. The next pulse from Ql turns Q3 on and Q2 off. Note that C4 is a non-polarized capacitor. For the component values shown, the lamp is on for about y, second and off the same amount of time.

Circuit Notes

The blinking or flashing rate is determined by Ul, a 555 timer integrated circuit. Its output, at pin 3, feeds U2, a RIU triac driver. That driver consists of an infrared LED that is coupled internally to a light-activated silicon bilateral switch (DIAC). When the LED internal to U2 is turned on by the timer, UI, its light triggers the DlAC; effectively closing the circuit between pins 4 and 6, and fires the Triac, TRI through its gate circuit. When the Triac is firing, it acts as a closed clrcuit that turns on the light (or other device it may be controlling via SOl). When the timer turns off, the LED, the DIAC and Triac stop conducting and the light turns off. The sequence then repeats. The flashing rate can be varied by means of RI, a 500,000 ohm potentiometer.

Circuit Notes

Trus flasher operates from a I2-volt car or boat battery. It offers 36 to 40-watts output, variable flash rate (up to 60 flashes per minute), independent control of both on and off cycles and photoelectric night and day control that turns the flasher on at night and shuts it off during the day for automatic operation. SCRI and SCR2 form a basic dc flip-flop. The lamp load is the cathode leg of one SCR so that the other side of the load may be at ground (negative) potential (required in some applications). The flip-flop timing is controlled by a conventional UJT oscillator arrangement (QI, RI, C3, etc.). Potentiometer R2 and diode CRI provide on/off timing independence. Photoconductor PCl locks out the UJT firing circuit during the daylight hours.

Flashing occurs each time the capacitor discharges through the turned-on SCR. When the discharge current falls below the SCR holding current, the SCR turns off, and the capacitor begins charging for another cycle.

Circuit Notes

The circuit is economical in components, and will work with virtually any transistors and is reliably self-starting. The voltage Vb can be taken from a divider, as shown at the right. If taken from a fixed source, flashing becomes slower as battery voltage falls. The lowest drive current into the base of Tr3 is about (Vb-O,6 V)/(R2 + R4). Resistor R4 limits the initial current from Cl and, as shown, R2 and R4 can be roughly equal when a divider is used for Vb. Resistor R2 equals R6R7/(R6+R7). With the voltages shown, and with R2 = R4, the on-time is about1.1 CIR2 and the off-time about 0.28 CIR1. Using the component values shown the period is about 0.55 sec. with a duty cycle of about 7% and a mean battery current including the Vb divider, about 1.5 mA.

Circuit Notes CRI, CR2, CR3, and CR4 form a bridge circuit with the SCR across the dc legs. With light on the photoconductor PCl, Cl charges through RI to about 150 Vdc. The resistance of PCl is low when illuminated, so very little voltage appears across it or C2. At about 90 volts Cl starts discharging through RI and the SCR, but the SCR cannot turn off until Cl is almost completely discharged. When the SCR turns off during the interval line voltage is near zero, the full supply voltage again appears across the bridge, and Cl charges again to a high voltage. The voltage on C2 also starts rising until the neon lamp fires and the cycle repeats. An alternative remote control can be made by adding a second neon lamp, N2, and masking the photocell so it sees only N2. A very sensitive remote control is thus obtained that is completely isolated from the load circuit. For low-voltage remote control a flashlight lamp may be used instead of N2 and operated at about Y, its normal voltage thus giving exceptionally long life. Performance of the photoelectric control may be inverted (flash when the photoconductor is illuminated) by interchanging PCl, and R2. Sensitivity in either the normal or inverted modes can be decreased by partially masking PCl, and can be increased by increasing resistor R2 to about 470 K. To increase on time, increase Cl; to increase off time, increase R3.

Circuit Notes

A 555 timer, IC1, drives a 4017 CMOS decade counter. Each of the 4017's first four outputs drives a CA3079 zero-voltage switch_ Pin 9 of the CA3079 is used to inhibit output from pin 4, thereby disabling the string of pulses that IC normally delivers_ Those pulses occur every 8.3 ms, i.e., at a rate of 120 Hz. Each pulse has a width of 120 ,"so Due to the action of the CA3079, the lamps connected to the TRI-AC's tum on and off near the zero crossing of the ac waveform. Switching at that point increases lamp life by reducing the inrush of current that would happen if the lamp were turned on near the high point of the ac waveform. In addition, switching at the zero crossing reduces Radio-Frequency Interference (RFI) considerably. CAUTION: The CA3079's are driven directly from the 117-volt ac power line, so use care.

Circu it Notes

Transistors Q1 and Q2 are connected as a free running multivibrator. The output, at the emitter of Q2, drives the base of the common emitter amplifier Q3, which controls the lamp. This circuit configuration permits the flash duration, the interval between flashes, and the lamp type to be varied independently. Flash duration is proportional to the product of R2C2 while the off interval is proportional to the product of R3Cl. Consequently, when the flash t.iming must be accurately maintained, these component tolerances will have to be held to similar limits. All three circuits described are designed for barricade warning flasher lights such as used in highway construction. They differ only in flash duration which normally is 15%, 25%, or 50% of the flash rate. Performance has been checked at ambient temperatures of _40F, 77F, and 212F. AGE 5 volt, 90 milliampere type No. 1850 lamp is used.

ASTABLE FLIP-FLOP WITH STARTER Circuit Notes A pair of non-zenered MOSPOWER transistors, a pair of LEDs and a simple ~RC circuit make an easy sequential flasher with almost -unlimited sequencing time-from momentary to several seconds. The infinite input resistance of the MOSFET gate allows for very long sequencing times that are impossible when using bipolars. One precaution, though, don't wire your circuit using phenolic or printed circuit boards when looking for slow sequencing (they exhibit too much leakage!).

Circuit Notes
This design used to measure air or gas flow works by measuring tbe energy required to maiotain a heated resistaoce wire at constaot temperature. The positive temperature coefficient of a small lamp, in combination witb its ready availability, makes it a good sensor. A type 328 lamp is modified for this circuit by removing its glass envelope. The lamp is placed in a bridge which is monitored by AI. AI's output is current amplified by Ql and fed back to drive the bridge. When power is applied, tbe lamp is at a low resistaoce and Ql's emitter tries to come full on. As current flows tbrough the lamp, its temperature quickly rises, forcing its resistaoce to increase. This action increases AI's negative input potential. Ql's emitter voltage decreases aod tbe circuit finds a stable operating point. To keep tbe bridge balaoced, Al acts to force the lamp's resistance, hence its temperature, constant. The 20 k - 2 k bridge values have been chosen so tbat tbe lamp operates just below the incaodescence point. To use this circuit, place tbe lamp in the air flow so tbat its filament is at a 90 aogle to the flow. Next, eitber 'shut off the air flow or shield tbe lamp from it aod adjust the zero flow potentiometer for a circuit output of 0 V.

One small spot of rain on the sense pad of this bleeper will start this audio warning. It can also be operated by rising water. The circuit has two transistors, with feedback via capacitor Cl, but Trl cannot operate as long as the moisture sense pad is dry. When the pad conducts, Trl and Tr2 form an audio oscillatory circuit, the pitch depends somewhat on the resistance.

Circuit Notes A bridge rectifier and 12-volt regulator powers the MOSFET sensing circuit. The unregulated output of the bridge rectifier operates the drain solenoid via switch SI. The sensor itself is built from two electrodes, one made of copper, the other of lead. In combination with the liquid trapped by the sensor, they form a miniature lead-acid cell whose output is amplified by MOSFET Q1. The maximum output produced by our prototype cell was about 50 p.A. MOSFET Ql serves as the fourth leg of a Wheatstone bridge. When acidity causes the sensor to generate a voltage, Ql turns on slightly, so its drain-to-source resistance decreases. That resistance variation causes an imbalance in the bridge, and that imbalance is indicated by meter M1. PLANT-WATER MONITOR Circuit Notes When the soil is moist, the LED glows. If the moisture falls below a certain predetennined level, the LED begins to flash. If there is still less moisture, the LED turns off. To calibrate, connect the battery and insert the probe into a container of dry soil. Set RI to its maximum value then reduce that resistance until the LED begins to flash. The range over which the LED flashes before going out is adjusted using R2.

Circuit Notes

The operation of the circuit is based on the difference in the primary inTpedance of a transformer when its secondary!s loaded and when it is open-circuit. The inTpedance of the primary of Tl andTesistor RI are in series with the load. The triac's gatecontrol voltage is developed across parallel resistors RI and R2. When the water level is low, the probe i&out of the water and SCRIis triggered on. It conducts and inTposes~a heavy load on transformer TI's secondary winding. That load is reflected back into the prima ry, gating triac TRI on, which energizes the load. If the load is an electric value in the water-supply line, it will open and remain open until the water rises and touches the probe, which shorts SCRI's gate and cathode, thereby turning off the SCRI, which effectively open-circuits the secondary. The opencircuit condition-when reflected back to the primary winding-removes the triac's trigger signal, thereby turning the water off. The load may range from a water valve, a relay controlling a pump supplying water for irrigation, or a solenoid valve controlling the water level in a garden lily pond.

Circuit Notes This circuit controls the level of a tank using a bang-bang controlled electrical pump. The actual level of liquid is measured by a capacitive level-meter. The first inverter performs as a capacitance to frequency converter. It is a Schmitt oscillator and its frequency output decreases as the capacitance increases. The second inverter is a monostable which performs as a frequency to voltage converter (f/V). Its output is applied to the maximum and minimum level comparator inputs. Maxin1Um and minin1um liquid levels may be set by the potentiometers. The maximum level (1 max) may be preset between the limits: 65 pF less than C (1 max) less than 120 pF. The minin1um level is presetable and the limits are: 0 less than C (1 min) less than 25 pF.

Circuit Notes The circuit shows how two tone decoders set up with overlapping detection bands can be used for a go/no go frequency meter. Unit 1 is set 6% above the desired sensing frequency and Unit 2 is set 6% below the desired frequency. Now, if the incoming frequency is within 13% of the desired frequency, either Unit 1 or Unit 2 will give an output. If both units are on, it means that the incoming frequency is within 1% of the desired frequency. Three light bulbs and a transistor allow low cost read-out. The le is an EXAR 567.

Circuit Notes The turn-on and turn-off characteristics of two complementary transistors can be combined to attain nonselective frequency tripling. The resulting circuit handles any periodic waveform with nonvertical sides. Each input signal peak produces three output signal peaks. The additional peaks occur where the input signal causes saturation of one of the two transistors. The circuit operates over a frequency range from dc to the upper limits of the complementary transistor pair. About the only disadvantage of the circuit is the lack of symmetry of the output signal peaks.

Circuit Notes The ratio of capacitors Cl and C2 determines division. With a positive pulse applied to the base of Ql, assume that Cl = C2 and that Cl and C2 are discharged. When~l turns off, both Cl and C2 charge to 10 volts each through R3. On the next pulse to thehase of Ql, Cl is again discharged but C2 remains charged to 10 volts. As Ql turns off this time, Cl and C2 again charge. This time C2 charges to the peak point firing voltage of the PUT causing it to fire. This discharges capacitor C2 and allows capacitor Cl to charge to the line voltage. As soon as C2 discharges and Cl charges, the PUT turns off. The next cycle begins with another positive pulse on the base of Ql which again discharges Cl. The input and output frequency can be approximated by the equation (Cl
=

C2)

Cl For a 10 kHz input frequency with an amplitude of 3 volts, the table shows the values for Cl and C2 needed to divide by 2 to 11.

In these applications, a pulse input at fIN is differentiated by a CoR network and the negative-going edge at pin 6 causes the input comparator to trigger the timer circuit. Just as with a V-to-F converter, the average current flowing out of pin 1 is IAVERAGE = i x (1.1 RI Cl) x f. In this simple circuit, this current is filtered in the network RL = 100 k ohm and 1 /LF. The ripple will be less than 10 mV peak, but the response will be slow, with a 0.1 second time constant, and settling of 0.7 second to 0.1%

accuracy. In the precision circuit, an operational amplifier provides a buffered output and also acts as a 2-pole filter. The ripple will beless than 5 mV peak for all frequencies above 1 kHz, and the response time will be much quicker than in Part 1. However, for input frequencies below 200 Hz, this circuit will have worse ripple than the figure. The engineering of the filter time-constants to get adequate response and small enough ripple simply requires a study of the compromises to be made. Inherently, V-to-F converter response can be fast, but F -to-V response cannot.

The scheme presented delivers waveforms from any function generator producing a triangular output and a synchronized TTL square wave. A1 and A2 act as a two-phase current rectifier by inverting the negative voltage appearing at the input of Al. Positive input: Both A1 and A2 work as unity gain followers, D1 and D2 being in the off-state. Negative input: A1 has a - Y, gain (D1 off and D2 on), A2 has a + Y, gain and the total voltage transfer is - 1 between output and input. P1 allows a fine trimming of the -1 gain for the negative input signals. A3 adds a continuous voltage to the rectified positive signal in order to attack A4 which acts as a multiplier commanded by the TTL input through the analog switch. The signal polarity is reconstructed and the output of A4 delivers a triangular waveform shifted by 90 with respect to the input signal, Fig. 2. The original and the shifted voltages are fed into the triangle to sine converters through A5 and A7 working as impedance converters. Over the frequency dynamic ranges from 0.1 Hz to 10 kHz, the phase shift is constant and the distortion on the sine voltage is less than 10/0.

Feedback circuits containing operational amplifiers, resistors, and capacitors synthesize the electrical effects of an inductance and capacitance in parallel between the input terminals. The synthetic inductance and capacitance, and, therefore, the resonant frequency of the input admittance, are adjusted by changing a potentiometer setting. The input signal is introduced in parallel to the noninverting input terminals of operational amplifiers Al and Az and to the potentiometer cursor. The voltages produced by the feedback circuits in response to input voltage VI are indicated at the various circuit nodes.

Circuit Notes A circuit for multiplying the width of incoming pulses by a factor greater or less than unity is simple to build and has the feature that the multiplying factor can be selected by adjusting one potentiometer only. The multiplying factor is determined by setting the potentiometer P in the feedback of a 741 amplifier. The input pulses -"1 of width T and repetition period T is used to trigger a sawtooth generator at its rising edges to produce the waveform e2 having a peak value of (E) volt. This peak value is then sampled by the input pulses to generate the pulse train e3 having an average value of e4 (= E ET/T) which is proportional to T and independent on T. The dc voltage e4 is amplified by a factor k and compared with sawtooth waveform e2 giving output pulses of duration k T. The circuit is capable of operating over the frequency range 10 kHz - 100 kHz.

Circuit Notes The 1'A2240 consists of four basic circuit elements: (1) a time-base oscillator, (2) an eight-bit counter, (3) a control flip-flop, and (4) a voltage regulator. The basic frequency of the time-base oscillator (TBO) is set by the external time constant determined by the values of RI and Cl (I?RICI = 2 kHz). The open-collector output of the TBO is connected to the regulator output via a 20 k ohm pull-up resistor, and drives the input to the eight'bit counter. At power-up, a positive trigger pulse is detected across C2 which starts the TBO and sets all counter outputs to a low state. Once the 1'A2240 is initially triggered, any further trigger inputs are ignored until it is reset. In this astable operation, the "A2240 will free-run from the time it is triggered until it receives an external reset signal. Up to 255 discrete frequencies can be synthesized by connecting different counter outputs.

Circuit Notes The circuit is designed around the Intersil8038CC. Frequency range is approximately 20 Hz to 20 kHz-a tuning range of 1000:1 with a single control. The output frequency depends on the value of C2 and on the setting of potentiometer RI. Other values of C2 change the frequency range. Increase the value of C2 to lower the frequency. The lowest possible frequency is around .001 Hz and the highest is around 300 kHz.

Circuit Notes

The linear charging ramp is most useful where linear control of voltage is required. Some possible applications are a long period voltage controlled timer. a voltage to pulse width converter, or a linear pulse width modulator. Ql is the current source transistor, supplying constant current to the timing capacitor Ct. When the timer is triggered, the clamp on Ct is removed and Ct charges linearly toward Vcc by virtue of the constant current supplied by Q1. The threshold at pin 6 is 3 Vcc; here, it is termed Vc. When the voltage across Ct reaches Vc volts, the timing cycle ends. The timing expression for output pulse with T is: In general, It should be 1 mA value compatible with the NE555.

Circuit Notes

The circuit uses a CA3060 triple OTA (two units serve as switched current generators controlled by a third amplifier). A CA3160 BiMOS op amp serves as a voltage follower to buffer the 0.0022 I'F integrating capacitor. The circuit has an adjustment range of 1,000,000:1 and a timing range of 20 I's to 20 sec. The "ON-OFF" switch actuates an LED that serves as both a pilot light and a low-battery indicator. The LED extends battery life, since it drops battery voltage to the circuit by approximately 1.2 volts, thus reducing supply current.

Circuit Notes

The circuit has both square-wave and triangle-wave output. The left section is similar in function to a comparator circuit that uses positive feedback for hysteresis. The inverting input is biased at one-half the Vcc voltage by resistors R4 and R5. The output is fed back to the non-inverting input of the first stage to control the frequency. The amplitude of the square wave is the output swing of the first stage, which is 8 V peak-to-peak. The second stage is basically an op amp integrator. The resistor R3 is the input element and capacitor Cl is the feedback element. The ratio R1/R2 sets the amplitude of the triangle wave, as referenced to the square-wave output. For both waveforms, the frequency of oscillation can be determined by the equation: fo

Circuit Notes

The positive and negative peak amplitude is controllable to an accuracy of about 0.01 V by a de input. Also. the output frequency and symmetry are easily adjustable. The oscillator consists of an integrator and two comparators-one comparator sets the positive peak and the other the negative peak of the triangle wave. If RI is replaced by a potentiometer. the frequency can be varied over at least a 10 to 1 range without affecting amplitude. Symmetry is also adjustable by connecting a 50 kG resistor from the inverting input of !he LM1l8 to the arm of the 1 kG potentiometer. The ends of the pOientiometer are connected across the supplies. Current for the resistor either adds or subtracts from the current through RI. changing the ramp time.

Circuit Notes

VI (a 4046 PLL containing a voltage controlled oscillator or VCO, two phase comparators, a source follower. and a Zener diode) is used to produce a low-frequency, pulsed output of about 40 Hz. The VCO's frequency range is determined by R6 and C2, which can be altered by varying the voltage at pin 9. The rising voltage causes the frequency to rise from zero to threshold and remain at that frequency as long as SI is closed. When SI is opened, Cl discharges slowly through RI to ground and the voltage falls toward zero. That produces a decreasing pulse rate. The output of VI at pin 4 is connected to the clock input of V2 (a 4017 decade decoder/driver) at pin 14 via C3. V2 sequentially advances through each of its ten outputs (0 to 9)-pins 1 to 7. and 9 to ll-with each input pulse. As each output goes high, its associated LED is lighted, and extinguished when it returns to the low state. Only eight outputs are used in the circuit, giving two numbers to the spinner of the house. The circuit can be set up so that the LED's lights sequence or you can use some staggered combination; the LEDs grouped in a straight line or a circle.

Circuit Notes The power drain is approximately 150 mA. IC1 provides a regulated 5-volt supply for the filament heater of the sensor. The gas sensitive element is connected as one arm of a resistance bridge consisting of R4, R7, R8 and the meter M1 with its associated resistors R5 and R6. The bridge can be balanced by adjusting R8 so that no current flows through the meter. A change in the sensor's resistance, caused by detection of noxious gases, will unbalance the circuit and deflect the meter. Diodes D1, D2 and resistor R5 protect the meter from overload while R6 determines overall sensitivity. R2 limits the current through the sensor; R1 and LED1 indicate that the circuit is working, so that you do not drain the battery leaving the unit on inadvertently; R3 and S2 give a battery level check.

Circuit Notes

The major device in the circuit is SR1 (a TGS812 toxic-gas sensor manufactured by Figaro Engineering Inc.) The gas-sensitive semiconductor (acting like a variable resistor in the presence of toxic gas) decreases in electrical resistance when gaseous toxins are absorbed from the sensor surface. A 25.000 ohm potentiometer (R5) connected to the sensor serves as a load, voltage-dividing network, and sensitivity control and has its center tap connected to the gate of SCRl. When toxic fumes come in contact with the sensor, decreasing its electrical resistance, current flows through the load (potentiometer R5). The voltage developed across the wiper of R5, which is connected to the gate of SCR1, triggers the SCR into conduction. With SCR1 now conducting, pin 1-volt supply for the semiconductor elements of the TGS812 in spite of the suggested 10 volts, thus reducing the standby current. A 7805 regulator is used to meet the 5-volt requirement for the heater and semiconductor elements.

Circuit Notes The circuit shows a simple yes/no gas detector. Three 1.5-V D cells are used as a power supply, with SI acting as ao on/off switch. The heater is energized directly from the battery, while the electrodes are in series with a 10 k resistor. The voltage across this resistor is monitored by a pnp traosistor. When the sensor is in deao air, the resistance between the electrodes is about 40 k, so that only about 0.9 V is dropped across the 10 k resistor. This is insufficient to turn on the traosistor, because of the extra 1.6 V required to forward bias the light emitting diode (LED) in series with the emitter. When the sensor comes in contact with contaminated air, the resistaoce starts to fall, increasing the voltage dropped across the 10 k resistor. When the sensor resistance falls to about 10 k or less, the traosistor starts to turn on, current passes through the LED, causing it to emit. The 180 ohm resistor limits the current through the LED to a safe value.

Circuit Notes The figure shows two TL3103 linear Hall-effect devices used for detecting the angle of rotation., The TL3103s are centered in the gap of a V-shaped permanent magnet. The angle that the south pole makes with the chip face of unit #1 is defined as angle O. Angle 0 is set to 0 when the chip face of unit #1 is perpendicular to the south pole of the magnet. As the south pole of the magnet sweeps through a 0 to 90 angle, the output of the sensor increases from 0. Sensor unit #2 decreases from its peak value of + Vp at 0 to a value VOQ at 90. So, the output of sensor unit #1 is a sine function of 0 and the output of unit #2 is a cosine function of 0 as shown. Thus, the first sensor yields the angle of rotation and the second sensor indicates the quadrant location.

Circuit Notes

Door open alarms are used chiefly in automotive, industrial, and appliance applications. This type of circuit can sense the opening of a refrigerator door. When the door opens, a triac could be activated to control the inside light. The figure shows a door position alarm. When the door is opened, an LED turns on and the piezo alarm sounds for approximately 5 seconds. This circuit uses a TL3019 Hall-effect device for the door sensor. This normally open switch is located in the door frame. The magnet is mounted in the door. When the door is in the closed position, the TL3019 output goes to logic low, and remains low until the door is opened. This design consists of a TLC555 monostable timer circuit. The 1 I'F capacitor and 5.1 M ohm resistor on pins 6 and 7 set the monostable RC time constant. These values allow the LED and piezo alarm to remain on about 5 seconds when triggered. One unusual aspect of this circuit is the method of triggering. Usually a 555 timer circuit is triggered by taking the trigger, pin 2, low which produces a high at the output, pin 3. In this configuration with the door in the closed position, the TL3019 output is held low. The trigger, pin 2, is connected to Yz the supply voltage Vcc. When the door opens, a positive high pulse is applied to control pin 5 through a 0.1 I'F capacitor and also to reset pin 4. This starts the timing cycle. Both the piezo alarm and the LED visual indicator are activated.

The sensor specified has a nominal 400 pF capacitance at RH = 76%, with a slope of 1.7 pF/% RH. The average voltage across this device must be zero. This provision prevents deleterious electrochemical migration in the sensor. The LTC1043A inverts a resistively scaled portion of the LT1 009 reference, generating a negative potential at pin 14A. The LTC1043B alternately charges and discharges the humidity sensor via pins 12B, 13B, and 14B. With 14B and 12B connected, the sensor charges via the 1/LFunit to the negative potential at pin 14A.

opens, 12B is connected to AI's summing point via 13B. The sensor now discharges into the summing point through the I /,F capacitor. Since the charge voltage is fixed, the average current into the summing point is determined by the sensor's humidity related value. The l/,F value ac couples the sensor to the charge-discharge path, maintaining the required zero average voltage across the device. The 22M resistor prevents accumulation of charge, which would stop current flow. The average current into AI's summing point is balanced by packets of charge delivered by the switched-capacitor gives Al an integrator-like response, and its output is dc.

Circuit Notes The device generates an adjustable frequency of low to medium powered IR pulses of invisible energy and must be treated with care. The portable battery pack is stepped up to 200 to 300 volts by the inverter circuit consisting of Ql, Q2, and Tl. Ql conducts until saturated, at which time, the base no longer can sustain it in an "on" state and Ql turns "off," causing the magnetic field in its collector winding to collapse thus producing a voltage or proper phase in the base drive winding that turns on Q2 until saturated, repeating the above sequence of events in an "onl off" action. The diodes connected at the bases provide a return path for the base drive current. The stepped up squarewave voltage on the secondary of Tl is rectified and integrated on C2.

Circuit Notes

The input impedance is the value of potentiometer RI. If your instrument has extradeep bass, change capacitor Cl to 0.5/<F. What appears to be an extra part in the feedback loop is a brightening tone control. The basic feedback from the op amp's output (pin 6) to the inverting input (pin 2) consists of resistor R7, and the series connection of resistor R4 and~capacitor C3, which produce a voltage gain of almost 5 (almost 14 dB). That should be more extra oomph than usually needed. If the circuit is somewhat short on bass response, increase the value of capacitor C3 to 1 to 10 /<F. Start with l/<F and increase the value until you get the bass effect you want.

Circuit Notes

To amplify small current signals such as from ah electron-collector inside a vacuum chamber, it is convenient for reasons of noise and bandwidth to have a "head-amplifier" attached to the chamber. The op amp NI is a precision bipolar device with extremely low bias current and offset voltage (1) as well as low noise, which allows the 100:1 feedback attenuator R4:R5. The resistance of R3 can be varied from above 10M to below 1R, and so the nominal 0 to 1 V-peak output signal corresponds to input current ranges of 1 nA to 10 p.A; this current i enters via the protective resistor RI. Light from the bulb B1 shines on R3, and the filament current I is controlled by the op amp N2. The reference voltage VR is "shaped" by the resistors R9R10 so as to tailor the bulb and LDR characteristics to the desired current ranges. Thus, rotation of the cahbrated knob K gives the appropriate resistance to R3 for the peak-current scale shown.

Three op amps UI, U2, and U3 are connected in the basic instrumentation amplifier configuration. Operating from 5 V, pin 8 of each op amp is connected directly to ground and provides the ac performance desired in this application (high bias model. PI is for offset error correction and P2 allows adjustment of the input common mode rejection ratio. The high input impedance allows megohms without loading. The resulting circuit frequency response is 200 kHz at -3 dB and has a slew rate of 4.5 V/p,s.

Circuit Notes In the circuit in Fig. 1, IC1a produces the integral term required but also has the side effect of producing a proportional term not required, so this term is subtracted by IC1b leaving a pure integral. H the ratio R2/RS does not exactly match the ratio of R3/R4, the subtraction will not be complete and a smal! amount of the proportional term will reach the output. The result of this with a square wave input is shown in Fig. 3a as small steps in the output waveform at points X and Y. This effect can be completely removed by using the simplified circuit shown in Fig. 2. Here the signal is pre-inverted by ICla, then fed to a standard inverting integrator IClb. The result is a non-inverting integrator with the advantage that the unwanted proportional term is never produced, so it does not need to be subtracted.

Circuit Notes

The circuit consists of separate amplifiers-one for each station-rather than a single amplifier and a time sharing arrangement. VI and V2 are low-voltage audio amplifiers, each of which operates as separate entities with switches at either station controlling which will transmit or receive. With capacitors C7 and C8 included in the circuit, the amplifiers have a gain of 200. Omitting those two components drops the gain to about 20. Other gain levels are available with the addition of a series-connected RIC combination connected between pin 1 and pin 8-for example, a 1000 ohm resistor and 10 I'F capacitor for a gain of about 150.

Circuit Notes

A large number of intercom stations can be tied together. All units are connected in parallel, and the entire system is buzzed by only one signaling circuit. Each unit is powered individually from 1. 5-V cells for redundancy. For greater signal volume, 3-V sources can be used for the supplies without changing any other parts of the system. The carbon microphone of a standard telephone handset at each station feeds into a common-base amplifier, and a tandem high-gain common-emitter stage drives the intercom line. All phone earpieces are in parallel across the line. The signaling circuit, also connected across the line, is a simple oscillator that drives all the earpieces.

Circuit Notes The circuit will regulate the rms output voltage across the load (a projection lamp) to 100 volts 20/0 for an input voltage between 105 and 250 volts ac. This is accomplished by indirectly sensing the light output of lamp L1 and applying this feedback signal to the firing circuit (Q1 and Q2) which controls the conduction angle of TRIAC Q3. The lamp voltage is provided by TRIAC Q3, whose conduction angle is set by the firing circuit for unijunction transistor Q2. The circuit is synchronized with the line through the fullwave bridge rectifier. The voltage to the firing circuit is limited by zener diode D5. Phase control of the supply voltage is set by the charging rate of capacitor Cl. Q2 will fire when the voltage on Cl reaches approximately 0.65 times the zener voltage. The charging rate of Cl is set by the conduction of Q1, which is controlled by the resistance of photocell R2. Potentiometers R3 and R4 are used to set the lamp voltage to 100 volts when the line voltage is 105 volts and 250 volts, respectively.

Cl rcult Notes

The combination of QI. Q2 and UI form a hysteresis oscillator to stabilize lamp illumination. In operation, full wave bridge D3 operates directly from the ac line to supply unregulated dc to the lamp and also to the 10 V zener that provides power to the quad CMOS Schmitt trigger, Ul. When the lamp supply exceeds 115 V, QI is turned ON, charging Cl through R2 to raise the input to UIa past the positive-going logic threshold. This drops the output voltage at Ulc and UId, which drives the gate of Q2, turning it OFF. Current then decays through the lamp, Ll and D3 until the lamp voltage falls below 115 V, at which time QI turns OFF and the cycle repeats.

A low power, low cost dc lamp dimmer for a two-wire portable "flashlight" can be realized with little or no heatsinking. In addition, a single potentiometer, R3 adjusts lamp brightness. Battery power is stored in Cl for U1, which is a free-running multivibrator whose frequency is determined by R1, R2, R3, R4, and C2. U1 drives the gate of Q1, turning it and the lamp ON and OFF at a rate proportional to the multivibrator duty cycle.

Circuit Notes

A 555 timer IC, operating in the one-shot mode, is triggered by light striking photoresistors. These normally have a resistance of several megohms but, in the pres ence of light, that resistance drops to several hundred ohms, permitting current from the six-volt source to flow in the circuit. The R-C combination shown gives an on-time of about two minutes. Photoresistors PC3 and PC4 are mounted at heatlight-height. When headlights illuminate the photoresistor, the timer starts. That actuates a relay, RY!. and the lights are turned on. The lights are automatically turned off when the timer's two minutes are up.

The circuit operates from a 115 volt, 60 Hz source and can control up to 800 watts of power to incandescent lights. The power to the lights is controlled by varying the conduction angle of the TRIAC from 0 0 to about 170 0 The power available at 170 0 conduction is better than 97% of that at the full 180 0

A full range power controller suitable for lamp dimming and similar applications operate from a 120 volt, 60 Hz ac source, and can control up to 1000 watts of power to incandescent bulbs. The power to the bulbs is varied by controlling the conduction angle of TRIAC Ql. At the end of each positive halfcycle when the applied voltage drops below that of the capacitor, gate current flows out of the SBS and it switches on, discharging the capacitor to near zero volts. The RC network shown across the TRIAC represents a typical snubber circuit that is normally adequate to prevent line transients from accidentally firing the TRIAC.

Circuit Notes

On the initial part of the positive half cycle, the voltage is changing rapidly from zero causing a large current to flow into capacitor C2. The current through C2 flows through R4, D3, and D4 into the gate of the TRIAC Q2 causing it to turn on very close to zero voltage. OnceQ2 turns on, capacitor C3 charges to the peak of the line voltage through D5. When the line voltage passes through the peak, D5 becomes reversebiased and C3 begins to discharge through D4 and the gate of Q2. At this time the voltage on C3 lags the line voltage. When the line voltage goes through zero there is still some charge on C3 so that when the line voltage starts negative C3 is still discharging into the gate of Q2. Thus Q2 is also turned on near zero on the negative half cycle. This operation continues for each cycle until switch 51 is closed, at which time 5CR Q1 is turned on. Q1 shunts the gate current away from Q2 during each positive half cycle keeping Q2 from turning on. Q2 cannot turn on during the negative cyCle because C3 cannot charge unless Q2 is on during the positive half cycle.

Circuit Notes
The circuit uses a free-running push-pull dc to dc high voltage converter to get the necessary voltage for the laser plasma tube supply. The supply voltage Vc of this converter, is adjusted by a switch-mode power supply in order to keep the load current constant, at set value. The linear opto-electronic isolator U2, connected in series with tile laser plasma tube, gives a voltage VF proportional to the discharge current ID across RI8, having the correct polarity to drive directly the inverting input of Ul, D7, RI5 protects the optoisolator diode against damage produced by the high voltage ignition pulse. Due to the high operating frequency of the high voltage converter (25 kHz) the ripple of the laser output power is less than 2.10- 4 . The stability of ID is better than 10- 2, for variations of supply voltage Vs is the range of 10%, and depends on the optoisolator sensitivity.

Circuit Notes

LDRl, a cadmium sulphide (CDS) photoresistive cell is used as the lower leg of a voltage divider between Vcc and ground. The timer terminals 2 and 6 are connected to the junction of the photocell and SENSITIVITY control RI. The resistance of the photoresistive cell varies inversely as the light intensity; resistance is high when the illumination level is low; low in bright light. (The Radio Shack CDS cell 276-116 has a typically wide resistance range-about 3 megohms in darkness and 100 ohms in bright light.) When the light is intenupted or falls below a level set by SENSITIVITY control RI, the rise in LDRl's resistance causes the voltage on pins 2 and 6to rise. lithe control is set so the voltage rises above 3 Vcc' the relay pulls in. The relay drops out when the light level increases and the drop across the photocell falls below Y, Vcc. (The circuit can be modified by placing relay Kl and diode Dl between pin 3 and ground. In this case, the relay drops out when the voltage on pins 2 and 6 rises above 3 Vcc' and pulls in when it falls below Y, Vcc' This modification is valuable when the relay has singlethrow contacts.) Opening and closing of the relay contacts occurs at different illumination levels. This Y, VCC hysteresis is an advantage that prevents the circuit from hunting and the relay from chattering when there are very small changes in illumination.

ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING

Using a simple 741 amplifier connected as a current-to-voltage converter with the LED as the current source, the voltage at the output is proportional to incident light. The junction is biased only by the difference between the summing node junction potential and ground, preventing the possibility of reverse breakdown. The photon-generated current equals the short-circuit current of the junction, which is linearly related to incident light. The sensor requires a level of incident illumination that depends on the degree of opacity of the LED package.

Circuit Notes As dusk begins to iall, the sensor (a cadmium-sulfide light-dependent resistor or LD R) operates a small horn to provide an audible reminder that it's time to turn on your lights. To turn the circuit off-simply turn your headlights on and the noise stops. The base of Ql is fed through a voltage divider formed by R4, LDR1-a light-dependent resistor with an internal resistor of about 100 ohms under bright-light conditions and about 10 megohms in total darkness-potentiometer R6. Ql's base voltage depends on the light level received by LDRl and the setting of R6. If LDRl detects a high light level, its resistance decreases, thereby providing a greater base current for Ql, causing it to conduct. When Ql conducts, pin 4 of Ul is pulled to near ground potential, muting the oscillator. If, on the other hand, LDRl detects a low light level, its resistance increases (reducing base currentto Ql), cutting off the transistor and enabling the oscillator. In actual practice, you set R6 so that at a suitable light level (dusk), the oscillator will sound. The anode of diode Dl connects to the light switch, where it connects to the vehicle's parking lights. With the lights switched off, that point is connected to the negative chassis by way of the parking lamp. That has no effect on the circuit, as Dl blocks any current flow to ground from Ql's base via R6 and the sidelight lamps. When the lights are switched on, the anode of Dl is connected to the positive supply via the parking lamp switch, thereby applying a voltage to the base of Ql, biasing it into conduction. With Ql conducting, pin 4 of Ul is pulled virtually to ground, disabling the oscillator even though LDR1's resistance is not enough to do so.

Circuit Notes Integrated-circuit U1-an LF351 or 741 op amp-is used as a comparator to control the light. Resistors R2 and R3 provide a reference voltage of about 2.5 volts at pin 3 ofUl. When daylight falls on light-dependent resistor LDR1, its resistance is low: about 1000 ohms. In darkness, the LDR's resistance rises to about 1 megohm. Since R1 is 100,000 ohms, and the LDR in daylight is 1000 ohms, the voltage ratio is 100 to 1; the voltage drop across the LDR is less than the 2.5 volt reference voltage and pin 2 of U1 is held at that voltage. In that state, the output at pin 6 of 01 is positive at about 4.5 volts, a value that reverse-biases Q1 to cutoff,which in turn holds Q2 in cutoff, thereby keeping lamp 11 off. When darkness falls, the LDR's resistance rises above R1's value and the voltage at pin 2 of 01 rises above the reference voltage of 2.5 volts. 01' s output terminal (pin 6) falls to less than a volt and Q1 is biased on. The base-to-emitter current flow turns Q2 on, which causes current to flow through the lamp. When daylight arrives, the LDR's resistance falls sharply, which causes the lamp to be turned off, ready to repeat the next night/day cycle.

Circuit Notes

A cadmium sulfide photocell (LDRI, which is a light-dependent resistor) is connected to the base and collector of an npn transistor, Ql. When light hits LDRI, the internal resistance goes from a very high (dark) value to a low (light) value, supplying base current to QI, turning it on. The voltage across RI produces a bias that turns Q2 on, which in turn, supplies the positive voltage to VI at pin 8 (the positive-supply input) and pin 4 (the reset input), to operate the 555 audio oscillator circuit. The circuit's sensitivity to light can be set via R6 (a 50,000 ohm potentiometer). R7 sets the audio tone to the most desirable sound. The squarewave audio tone is fed from VI pin 3 to a small speaker through coupling capacitor C4 and current limiting resistorR4.

Circuit Notes
The circuit is light seeking; it will follow a flashlight around a darkened room. A pair of photocells determine the direction in which the robot will move. Each photocell is connected to an op amp configured as a comparator. When sufficient light falls on photocell R2. the voltage at the inverting input (pin 6) of ICl-a will fall below the voltage at the non-inverting input (pin 5). so the output of the comparator will go high, and transistors Ql and Q2 will turn on. That will enable relays RYl and RY2, and thereby provide power for the right motor. The robot will then turn left. Likewise, when light falling on R3lowers its resistance, Q2 and Q3 will turn on, the left motor will energize, and the robot will turn right.

Circuit Notes Synchronous switching is turning on only at the instant the ac supply voltage passes through zero, and turning off only when current passes through zero. This circuit provides this function in response to either a mechanical switch or a variable resistance such as a cadmium-sulfide photocell. TIris circuit produces the minimum disturbance to the power supply when switching, and always conducts an integral number of whole cycles. It is ideal for use wherever RFI and audio filtering is undesirable, where magnetizing inrush current of transformers causes nuisance fuse-blowing, and where sensitive equipment must operate in the vicinity of power switches.

(IC1-a) functions as an astable multivibrator oscillating at a frequency of about 1 kHz. That IC drives transistor Q1 which in turn drives the two infrared LED's, LED1 and LED2. The right eye is composed of LED! and Q2. If an obstacle appears in front of the right eye, pulses from LED1 are reflected by the obstacle and aetected by Q2. The signal from Q2 is amplified by Q3, which triggers IC2, a 555. That operates in the monostable mode, and it provides a pulse output with a width of as much as 2.75 seconds, depending on the setting of R11. That pulse output energizes relay RY1, and that reverses the polarity of the voltage applied to the motor. Corresponding portions of the circuit of the left eye operate in the same fashion, using the unused half of the 556 (ICl-b). That action causes the robot to turn away from an obstacle.

The output of a modulated visible-light LED is detected, amplified, buffered, and fed through a low-pass filter. Ambient light signals below the LED's 10-kHz modulating rate reach the detector's base out of phase with incoming ambient light and cancel the undesired effects.

A photocell circuit provides automatic threshold adjustment. Monostable action prevents undesired retriggering of the output. With only one op amp le, the circuit offers: Automatic adjustment of its trigger level to accommodate various light sources, changes in ambient light and misalignments; A built-in monostable action to provide only a single output pulse during a preset time; Feedback action to raise the threshold level after triggering and to speed switching. The feedback also eliminates the circuit's tendency to oscillate during switching.

Circuit Notes The photodiode specified responds linearly to light intensity over a 100 dB range. Digitizing the diodes linearly amplified output would require an A-D converter with 17 bits of range. This requirement can be eliminated by logarithmically compressing the diode's output in the signal conditioning circuity. Al and Q4 convert the diode's photocurrent to voltage output with a logarithmic transfer function. A2 provides offsetting and additional gain.

which maintains Q4 at constant temperature (all transistors in this circuit are part of a CA3096 monolithic array). The 0.0331'F value at A3's compensation pins gives good loop damping if the circuit is built using the array's transistors in the location shown. Because of the array die's small size, response is quick and clean. A full-scale step requires only 250 ms to settle to final value. To use this circuit, first set the thermal control loop. To do this, ground Q3's base and set the 2 k pot so A3's negative input voltage is 55 mV above its positive input. This places the servo's setpoint at about 50C (25C ambient + (2.2 mV/oC x 25C rise ~ 55 mV ~ 50C). Unground Q3's base and the array will come to temperature. Next, place the photodiode in a completely dark environment and adjust the "dark trim" so A2's output is 0 V. Finally, apply or electrically simulate 1 mW of light and set the "full-scale" trim for 10 V out. Once adjusted, this circuit responds logarithmically to light inputs from 10nW to ImW with an accuracy limited by the diode's 1% error.

A simple technique that uses an op amp as a sensing element can provide 0.5% accuracy with low parts cost. The reed-relay contacts close when the resistance of the sensor Rp equals 47% of the standard Rs. Adjusting either RI or R2 provides a variable threshold; the threshold is controlled by varying R3. For the most part, the type of resistors used for RI and R2 determines the accuracy and stability of the circuit.

The continuity tester is for tracing wiring on printed circuit boards. It only consumes any appreciable power when the test leads are shorted, so no OnlOff switch is used or required. The applied voltage at the test terminals is insufficient to turn on diodes or other semiconductors. Resistors below 50 ohms act as short circuit; above 100 ohms as open circuit. The circuit is a simple multivibrator- Tl and T2, which are switched on by transistor TI. The components in the base ofT3 are DI, RI, R2, and thetest resistance. With a 1.5 volt supply, there is insufficient voltage to turn on a semiconductor connected to the test terminals. The phone is a telephone earpiece~but a 30 ohm speaker would work equally as well.

Continued.

This method is capable of measuring phase between 0 to 180 0 The generated square waves A and B are fed to 11 D flip-flop which gives an output C equal to logic 1 when input 1 leads input 2 and equal to logic 0 in case of lagging. When C = logic 0, the output of the amplifier F will be positive proportional to the average value E of the output of the EX-OR. When C = logic 1, F will be negative and also proportional to E by the same factor. Hence, the output of the meter is positive in case of lagging and negative for leading. The circuit is tested for sinusoidal inputs and indicates a linearity within 1 %. Measurements are unaffected by the frequency ofthe inputs up to 75 kHz.

Circuit Notes This circuit detects an object passing in one direction but ignores it going the opposite

way. Two sensors define the sense of direction. The object blocks the light to phototransistor Ql or Q2 first dependent on the direction of approach. When the object passes Ql then Q2, an output pulse is generated at D; while no pulse is seen at D as the object passes Q2 then Ql. Object length (measured along the direction of the two sensors) should be greater than the ~separation of the two sensors Ql and Q2.

The circuit consists of two oscillators, both working at about 465 kHz. One uses an if transformer and the other uses an inductor (the search coil LI). The oscillators are coupled by a capacitor (10 pF). A beat note (produced if the two oscillators are working closely together) is detected by the diode and fed to the headphone amplifier and the 22 # capacitor. The search coil oscillator is tuned by a 10-365 pf variable capacitor. The search coil comprises 22 turns of wire (any gauge between 24 swg and 36 swg enamel) center tapped. The wire should be wound on a temporary form then taped and glued to a piece of hardboard. The coil size should be about 6" x 6". Headphones should be high impedance.

The search coil, Cl and C2 form a tuned circuit for the oscillator which is tuned near the center of the broadcast band. Tune a portable radio to a station near the middle of the band, then tune C2 until a squeal is heard as the two signals mix to produce a beat (heterodyne) note. Metal near the search coil will detune the circuit slightly, changing the pitch of the squeal. The search coil is 20 turns of number 30 enameled wire, wound on a 6" x 8" wood or plastic form. It is affixed at the end of a 30" to 40" wooden or plastic pole, and connected to the remainder of the metal detector circuit through a coaxial cable.

Capacitor Cl is charged to +28 V through RI and stores energy for firing the squib. A positive pulse of 1 roA applied to the gate of SCR1 will cause it to conduct, discharging Cl into the squib load Xl. With the load in the cathode circuit, the cathode rises immediately to + 28 V as soon as the SCR is triggered on. Diode D1 decouples the gate from the gate trigger source, allowing the gate to rise in potential along with the cathode so that the negative gate-to-cathode voltage rating is not exceeded. This circuit will reset itself after test firing, since the available current through RI is less than the holding current of the SCR. After Cl has been discharged, the SCR automatically turns off-allowing Cl to recharge.

Circuit Notes

The LRC input network limits the anode dvldt to a safe value-below 30 V/",s. RI provides critical damping to prevent voltage overshoot. While a simple RC filter section could be used, the high current required by the squib would dictate a small value of resistance and a much larger capacitor. Resistor R3 provides dc bias stabilization, while C3 provides stiff gate bias during the transient interval when anode voltage is applied. The SCR is fired one second after arming by means of the simple R2C2Z1 time delay network. R4 provides a load for the SCR for testing the circuit with the squib disconnected-limiting the current to a level well within the continuous rating of the SCR. The circuit can be reset by opening the + 28 V supply and then re-arming.

RADIO ELECTRONICS

Circuit Notes
The circuit consists of the launch timer itself and an automatic-off timer. When power is applied to that !C, the countdown LED's sequence is on until they are all lit. When the last one LEDl, is fully lit, transistor Ql saturates, energizing RY2. When that happens, a circuit between the lantern battery at the launch pad and the nickel-chromium wire is completed; the wire heats up as before, and the rocket is launched. Resistor R4 and capacitor C3 determine the countdown timing; with the values shown it should be approximately 10 seconds. Resistors R3 and R5 set the LED brightness. Safety is of the utmost importance. That's the purpose of the second half of the circuit. When RY2 opens, the current flow to Q2 is disrupted. But, because of the presence of R2 and C4, the transistor remains saturated for about 3 seconds. After that, however, the transistor stops conducting and RYl is de-energized. That cuts off the power to the rest of the circuit, and RY2 de-energizes again, breaking the circuit to the launch pad. Switch S3 is used to reset the countdown. Once that is done, pressing SI starts the launch sequence; the rest is automatic. Switch S4 is used to latch RYl manually if needed.

Circuit Notes

Transistors Q1 and Q2 make up the flip-flop while Q3 drives a reed relay. When power is first applied to the circuit, Q1 and Q3 are conducting and Q2 is cut off. Momentarily closing SI causes the flip-flop to switch states-Q1 cuts off and Q2 conducts. When Q2 is conducting, its collector drops to around 0.6 volt. That prevents base current from flowing into Q3 so it is cut off, de-energizing relay Kl. The flip-flop changes state every time SI is pressed. Capacitors Cl and C2 ensure that Q1 is always the transistor that turns on when power is first applied to the circuit. When power is first applied to the basic flip-flop, the initial status is random-Q1 and Q2 both try to conduct and, usually, the transistor with the higher gain will take control, reaching full conduction and cutting off the other one. However, differences in the values of the collector and coupling resistors will also influence the initial state at power-on. With C2 in the circuit, it and R4 form an R-C network that slightly delays the rise in Q2's base voltage. That gives Q1 sufficient time to reach saturation and thus take control.

HANDS-ON ELECTRONICS

Circuit Notes The circuit is built around an LM339 quad comparator, Ul, which forms the basis of a Schmitt trigger, timer circuit, and a window comparator. One comparator within the LM339 (pins 1, 7,6), plus LDR1, R4, R5, R6 and R8, is used as a Schmitt trigger. The timer circuit (which receives its input from the Schmitt trigger) consists of R9, RIO, RH, R13. The last two-fourth's of U1 (pins 8, 9, 10,11, 13 and 14) are wired as a window comparator. The two inputs to the window comparator are derived from the charge on capacitor Cl-which is fed to pins 9 and 10 ofUl. The other inputs are picked from two points along a voltage-divider network, consisting of R1, R2, and R3. Diode D1 is used as a blocking diode, forcing capacitor Cl to discharge through R10 and R13. The window comparator looks for any voltage falling between one-third and two-thirds of the supply voltage. When the voltage falls between those two points, the output of the window comparator (pins 13/14) goes high. Transistors Q1, and Q2 are turned on, when the pins 13/14 junction goes high, energizing the relay, Kl. The energized relay provides a dc path to ground, activating the motor, M1, which reloads the feeder. The timer circuit also provides immunity from triggering, due 1:0 lightning. The on-time of relay K1 is determined by the charge cycle of Cl, RH, and R9 or the discharge cycle of Cl, R10, and R13. Changing the value of either a resistor or the capacitor, changes the timing cycle.

Circuit Notes The heart of the circuit is IC2, a 50240 top-octave generator. Thatdevice uses a single input-frequency to generate all twelve notes of the musical scale. The input signal is provided by IC1, a 4001 quad 2-input NOR gate. Two sections of that IC are used to form an oscillator that runs at approximately 2 MHz. The frequency can be adjusted by trimmer potentiometer R2. Dual D flip-flops, IC3-IC7, are used as frequency dividers. They divide down the upper-octave frequencies from IC2, thus generating the lowerfrequency notes required for the pitch references. The chords for the bass pitchreferences are composed of three notes each. Those notes are taken from various outputs

Circuit Notes Readback data is applied directly to the input of the first NE592. This amplifier functions as a wide-band ac coupled amplifier with a gain of 100. By direct coupling of the readback head to the amplifier, no matched terminating resistors are required and the excellent common-mode rejection ratio of the amplifier is preserved. The dc components are also rejected because the NE592 has no gain at dc due to the capacitance across the gain select terminals. The output of the first stage amplifier is routed to a linear phase shift low-pass filter, with a characteristic impedance of 200 ohms. The second NE592 is utilized as a low noise differentiator/amplifier stage. The output of the differentiator/arnplifier is connected to the 8T20 bidirectional monostable unit to provide the proper pulses at the zero-crossing points of the differentiator.

Circuit Notes This circuit is a static SCR switch for use in a dc circuit. When a low power signal is applied to the gate of SCRl, this SCR is triggered and voltage is applied to the load. The right hand plate of C charges positively with respect to the left hand plate through RI. When SCRZ is triggered on, capacitor C is connected across SCRl, so that this SCR is momentarily reverse biased between anode and cathode. This rever~se voltage turns SCRl off provided the gate signal is not applied simultaneously to both gates. The current through the load will decrease to zero in an exponential fashion as C becomes charged.

Circuit Notes An RF input is applied to the primary of TI, which applies equal amplitude, opposite phase RF drive for output FETs QI and Q2. With no AF modulation at points A and B, the opposite phase RF signals cancel each other and no output appears at the 50 V output connector. When AF modulation is applied to points A and B, a modulated RF output is obtained. The dc stability and low frequency gain are improved by source resistors RI8 and R19. A phase inverter consisting of a dual op amp (UIa and UIb) produces the out-ofphase, equal amplitude AF modulation signals.

To extend frequency above that for which the IN4I48 is suited, a hot-carrier diode (RP2800, etc.) can be substituted. A shunt resistor across the tank circuit can be used to reduce the circuit Q so as to permit high percentage modulation without appreciable distortion.

By applying a variable M/S ratio flip-flop to these inputs, both speed and direction will be controlled. With RV1 in its center position the M/S will be 1:1 whereby the motor will remain stationary due to its inability to track at the flip-flop frequency. Movement of RV1 in either direction will gradually alter the M/S ratio and provide an average volt age bias in one direction proportional to the M/S ratio.

Circuit Notes
The circuit illustrates feedback speed regulation of a standard ac induction motor, a function difficult to accomplish other than with a costly, generator type, precision tachometer. When the apertured disc attached to the motor shaft allows the light beam to cross the interrupter module, the programmable unijunction transistor, QI, discharges capacitor, Cl, into the much larger storage capacitor, C2. The voltage on C2 is a direct function of the rotational speed of the motor. Subsequently, this speed-related potential is compared against an adjustable reference voltage, VI, through the monolithic operational amplifier, AI, whose output, in turn, establishes a dc control input to the second P.U.T. (Q2). This latter device is synchronized to the ac supply frequency and furnishes trigger pulses in the conventional manner to the triac at a phase angle determined by the speed control, RI, and by the actual speed of the motor.

Circuit Notes

Speed control is accomplished by pulse width modulating the gates of two MGP20N45 TMOS devices. Therefore, motor speed is proportional to the pulse width of the incoming digital signal, which can be generated by a microprocessor or digital logic, The incoming signa1 is applied to comparator VI, then to paralleled inverters V2, V3, and V4 that drive the two TMOS devices, which, in turn, control power applied to the motor armature. Bridge rectifier D1 supplies fullwave power that is filtered by R5 and Cl. Free-wheeling diode D3 (MR854) prevents high voltage across Ql and Q2. A back-to-back zener diode, D2, protects against transients and high voltage surges.

Stepping motors find wide use in disk drives and machine control. MOSPOWER transistors are ideal motor drivers because of their freedom from second breakdown. Note that snubbing networks are not used because load line shaping is not necessary with MOSPOWER and the inductance of the motor is fairly low so that the inductive spike is small. The MOSFET gates are tied directly to the outputs of theCMOS control circuitry. The logic is arranged to sequence the motor in accordance with the needs of the application.

Circuit Notes A four thyristor controlled bridge is used for operation in two quadrants of the torquespeed characteristics. In the trigger circuits the usual pulse transformers were replaced by self biased circuits which minimize gate power consumption and increase noise innnunity. Electrical isolation is guaranteed by the use of optocouplers. The trigger pulses are generated by the comparison between an error signal. previously processed and amplified, and a line synchronism signal. The converter's output is a dc voltage proportional to the speed, which after being compared with a reference signal, becomes the error signal.

Circuit Notes A shortcoming of the above bi-directional proportional motor control circuit is that with the potentiometer in its center position the motor does not stop, but creeps due to the difficulty in setting the potentiometer for an exact 1: 1 mark-space ratio from the flip-flop. This modified circuit uses a second potentiometer, ganged with the first used to inhibit drive to the motor near the center position. This potentiometer is connected between the supply lines and feeds a window comparator which in turn drives the inhibit input of the L293.

Circuit Notes The ~enerator output is rectified then filtered and applied between the positive supply voltage and the base of the detector transistoL This provides a negative voltage which reduces the base-voltage when the speed increases. In normal operation, if the tachometer voltage is less than desired, the detector transistor is turned on, then turns on Q2 which causes the timing capacitor for the unijunction transistor to charge quickly. As the tachometer output approaches the voltage desired, the base-emitter voltage is reduced to the point at which Ql is almost cut off. Thereby, the collector current which charges the unijunction timing capacitor is reduced, causing that capacitor to charge slowly and trigger the thyristor later in the half cycle. In this manner, the average power to the motor is reduced until just enough power to maintain the desired motor speed is allowed to flow.

Circuit Notes The use of power MOSFETs allows a direct interface between logic and motor power, which permits circuit simplicity as well as high efficiency. This speed control circuit can be packaged on a 22-pin, double-sided, 3.5 x 4-in. pc board. A 12 V control supply and a TRW BLll, 30 V motor are used; with minor changes other motor and control voltages can be accommodated. For example, a single 24 V rail could supply both control and motor voltages. Motor and control voltages are kept separate here because CMOS logic is used to start, stop, reverse and oscillate the motor with a variable delay between motor reversals. Motor speed is established by potentiometer R2, which applies a corresponding dc voltage to the + input of comparator U1, whose output is then applied to TMOS device MTP8P08 (Q1). Zener diode Dl limits the drive to Ql. The output of Q1 drives the permanent magnet motor. Back emf is obtained from the motor via the network consisting of R8, R9, RlO, C2, C3 and D3; it is applied to-input of comparator U1.

Circuit Notes Power op amps provide accurate speed control for dc motors. The circuit provides bidirectional speed control. The amplifiers' push-pull configuration ensures a full rail-torail voltage swing (minus the output stages' saturation drops) across the motor in either direction. The circuit uses a mechanically-coupled tachometer to provide speed-stabilizing feedback to the first amplifier section. The motor's speed and direction of rotation is set by adjusting the 10 k ohm potentiometer at the amplifier's noninverting input. The RFCF feedback network prevents oscillation by compensating for the inherent dynamic mechanical lag of the motor. Select the RFCF time constant to match the particular motor's characteristics.

By varying either RI or R2, the oscillator frequency can be adjusted over a narrow range. The R3/R4 ratio sets the second amplifier's gain to compensate for signal attenuation occurring in the phase shitters. The circuits can be driven from an external source, such as a pulse or square wave, setting the gain of the left-hand amplifier to a level less than that required for oscillation. The RC feedback networks then function as an active filter causing the outputs to be sinusoidal.

Circuit Notes Digital [Cs and opto-isolators provide the drive for this TMOS servo amplifier, resulting in fewer analog circuits and less drift. Fast and consistent turn-on and turn-off characteristics also enable accurate analog output results directly from the digital signal without the need for analog feedback. An "H" bridge configuration is employed for the servo amplifier, which obtains complementary PWM inputs from digital control circuits. The PWM inputs are applied via opto-isolators, which keep the digital control logic isolated from the 75 V supply used for the amplifier. A short circuit indicator is provided by opto-isolator U3; if there is a short, the drop across R9 increases to a value sufficient to activate the isolator and send a short indication to the digital control logic.

Circuit Notes

This circuit accepts bipolar control inputs of 5 V and provides a phase-chopped output to a dc load (such as a servo motor) of the same polarity as the input. The rms voltage of the output is closely proportional to the control input voltage. N-channel and p-channel TMOS devices; QI and Q2, are connected in anti-series to form a bidirectional switch through which current can flow in either the forward or reverse direction. Control circuits turn QI and Q2 on when they are reverse biased, bypassing their reverse rectifier and increasing circuit efficiency. Each device is allowed to turn off only when forward biased. The QI-Q2 switch connects the ac power source to the load when its instantaneous voltage is the same polarity and less than the control voltage. UIa is configured as an ideal positive rectifier whose output follows the control voltage when it is positive, and is zero otherwise. Similarly, UIb is a negative rectifier. UIc turns QI on whenever the ac input voltage is lower than the positive rectifier output. For negative control voltages, QI is turned on only during the negative half-cycle. For positive control voltages, QI is turned on during the end portions of the positive half-cycle. Similarly, UId turns Q2 on whenever the ac input voltage is higher than the output of the negative rectifier.

Circuit Notes The modified power-factor controller, developed at the Marshall Space Flight Center, employs a phase detector for each of the three phasewindings of a delta-connected induction motor. The phase-difference sum is the basis for control. Instabilities of earlier systems are overcome with improved feedback control incorporating a 20Hz bandwidth signal.

Circuit Notes The tachometer, on the same shaft as the dc motor, is simply a generator. It gives a dc output voltage proportional to the speed of the motor. A summing amplifier, AI, controls its output so that the tachometer voltage equals the input voltage, but of opposite sign. With current drive to the motor, phase lag to the tachometer is 90, before the second order effects come in. Compensation on Al is designed to give less than 90 phase shift over the range of frequencies where the servo loop goes through unity gain. Should response time be of less concern, a power op amp could be substituted for Al to drive the motor directly. Lowering break frequencies of the compensation would, of course, be necessary. The circuit could also be used as a position servo. All that is needed is a voltage indicating the sense and magnitude of the motor shaft displacement from a desired position. This error signal is connected to the input, and the servo works to make it zero. The tachometer is still required to develop a phase-correcting rate signal because the error signal lags the motor drive by 180.

Circuit Notes

The system utilizes the H21Al and a chopper disc to provide superior speed regulation when the dynamic characteristics of the motor system and the feedback system are matched to provide stability. The tachometer feedback system illustrated was designed around specific motorlload combinations and may require modification to prevent hunting or oscillation with other combinations. This dc motor control utilizes the optachometer circuit previously shown to control a P. U. T. pulse generator that drives the D44El darlington transistor which powers the motor.

It is connected between the detector output and the audio input (if high impedance) or at some relatively high-impedance section between two audio stages-preferably the low level stages. D1 and D2 can be any diode having relatively low forward resistance and very high back resistance. The circuit is excellent for receivers having bandwidths down to 2 or 3 kHz.

D1 and D2 1N270 signal diodes (HEP 134 or 135). Two transistors, powered by the audio power contained within the signal, will clip signal peaks which exceed the threshold established by the 2.5 K potentiometer. The diodes isolate the positive and negative clipping circuits represented by the npn and pnp transistors, respectively. A desired audio operating level can be established and the potentiometer needs little or no further adjustment.

Circuit Notes In applications where the rejected signal might deviate slightly from the null on the notch network, it is advantageous to lower the Q of the network. This insures some rejection over a wider range of input frequencies. The figure shows a circuit where the Q may be varied from 0.3 to 50. A fraction of the output is fed back to R3 and C3 by a second voltage follower, and the notch Q is dependent on the amount of signal fed back. A second follower is necessary to drive the twin "T" from a low-resistance source so that the notch frequency and depth will not change with the potentiometer setting. 1800 Hz NOTCH FILTER

Circuit Notes A filter with a band-reject characteristic is frequently referred to as a notch filter. A typical circuit using a ~ 741 is the unity-gain configuration for this type of active filter shown. The filter response curve shown is a second-order band-reject filter with a notch frequency of 3 kHz. The resulting Q of this filter is about 23, with a notch depth of - 31 dB. Although three passive T networks are used in this application, the operational amplifier has become a sharply tuned low-frequency filter without the use of inductors or large-value capacitors.

Circuit Notes An op amp's gain level can be adjusted over its full inverting and noninverting gain

range. R3 varies the signal applied to both the inverting and noninverting amplifier inputs. When the wiper position (denoted by xl equals zero, the noninverting amplifier input is grounded. This also holds the voltage across R2 at zero, so R2 has no effect on operation. Now only Rl and R carry feedback current, and the amplifier operates at a gain of - n. At the other pot extreme, where x = 1, the input signal is connected directly to the noninverting input. Since feedback maintains a near-zero voltage between the amplifier inputs, the amplifier's inverting input will also be near the input signal level, thus little voltage is across R1, also now the gain is +n. The amplifier should be driven from a low impedance source to minimize source loading error, low offset op amps should be used.

Circuit Notes

A complete zero-voltage switch solid-stite relay contains an input circuit, an output circuit, and the power thyristor. The circuit illustrates a triac power thyristor with snubber circuit and GE-MOVR II Varistor transient over-voltage protection. The 22 ohm resistor shunts dildt currents, passing through the bridge diode capacitances, from the triac gate, while the 100 ohm resistor limits surge and gate currents to safe levels. Although the circuits illustrated are for 120-V rms operation, relays that operate on 220 V require higher voltage ratings on the MOV, rectifier diodes, triac, and pilot SCR. The voltage divider that senses zero crossing must also be selected to minimize power dissipation in the transistor optisolator circuit for 220-V operation.

Circuit Notes A circuit stabilizes the current-transfer ratio (CTR) of an optically coupled isolator used as a linear transducer. The optocoupler produces a voltage output that is proportional to-but electrically isolated from-the voltage input. However, the output voltage is directly affected by changes in the CTR, ani:! the CTR can change substantially with temperature and current. To a lesser extent the CTR changes with time over the life of the optocoupler. The circuit employs a feedback circuit containing a second optocoupler. The feedback signal tends to oppose changes in the overall CTR.

Circuit Notes

In microprocessor control of multiple loads, the minimum cost per load is critical. A typical application example is a large display involving driving arrays of incandescent lamps. This circuit provides minimal component cost per stage and optocoupler triggering of triac power switches from logic outputs. The minimal component cost is attained by using more complex software in the logic. A darlington output optocoupler provides gate current pulses to the triac, with cost advantages gained from eliminating the current limiting resistor and from the low cost coupler. The trigger current source is a dipped tantalum capacitor, charged from the line via a series resistor with coarse voltage regulation being provided by the darlington signal transistor. The resistor and capacitor are shared by all the darlington,triac~pairs and are small in size and cost due to the low duty cycle of pulsing. Coupler lRED current pulses are supplied for the duration of one logic clock pulse (2,10 /Lsec) , at 0.4 to 1 msec intervals, from a LED driver I.C. The pulse timing is derived from the clock waveform when the logic system requires triac conduction. A current limiting resistor is not used, which prevents Miller effect slowdown of the HllG2 switching speed to the extent the triac is supplied insufficient current to trigger. Optodarlington power dissipation is controlled by the low duty cycle and the capacitor supply characteristics.

GENERAL ELECTRIC

Fig. 65-5

Circuit Notes The accuracy of direct linear coupling of analog current signals via an optocoupler is determined by tbe coupler linearity and its temperature coefficient. Use of an additional coupler for feedback can provide linearity only if tbe two couplers are perfectly matched and identically biased. These are not practical constraints in most equipment designs and indicate tbe need for a different design approach. One of tbe most successful solutions to this problem can be illustrated by using a H23 emitter-detector pair and a Ll4H4. The H23 detector and Ll4H4 are placed so botb are illuminated by tbe H23 IRED emitter. Ideally, tbe circuit is mechanically designed such tbat the H23 emitter may be positioned to provide VOUT ~ 2.8 V when V1N ~ 0, thereby insuring collector current matching in tbe detectors. Then all three devices are locked in position relative to each otber. Otberwise, R may be adjusted to provide the proper null level, altbough temperature tracking should prove worse when R is adjusted. Note tbat the input bias is dependent on power supply voltage, altbough tbe output is relatively independent of supply variations. Testing indicated linearity was better than could be resolved, due to alignment motion caused by using plastic tape to lock positions. The concept of feedback control of IRED power output is useful for both information transmission and sensing circuitry.

The transistor is biased as an emitter follower and requires less than 10% of the photodiode current to produce the low impedance ac output across the emitter resistor.

Circuit Notes When compuler peripheral equipment is interfaced, it is convenient to work with logic signal levels. With a nominal 4 V at the output dropping to - 0.6 V on illumination, this circuit reflects the requirements of a high-speed, paper tape optical reader system. The circuit operates at rates of up to 1000 bits per second. It will also operate at tape translucency such that 500/0 of the incident light is transmitted to the sensor, and provide a fixed threshold signal to the logic circuit, all at low cost. Several circuit tricks are required. Photodarlington speed is enhanced by cascode constant voltage biasing. The output threshold and tape translucency requirements are provided for by sensing the output voltage and operating to 2000 bits per second at ambient light levels equal to signal levels.

Circuit Notes These two simple circuits provide zero voltage switching. They can be used with full wave bridges or in antiparallel to provide full wave control and are normally used to trigger power thyristors. If an input signal is present during the time the ac voltage is between 0 to 7 V, the SCR will turn on. But, if the ac voltage has risen above this range and the input signal is then applied, the transistor, Ql, will be biased to the "on" state and will hold the SCR and, consequently, the relay" off" until the next zero crossing.

Circuit Notes The circuit will modulate the light from the LED using a crystal microphone or a loudspeaker output. To obtain the maximum range, the optical system must be efficient (see example). Either a convex lens or a concave mirror can be used to convert the LED output into a parallel beam. The received light is concentrated onto a sensitive photodarlington transistor. At short range the signal across the load resistor is adequate tb drive a crystal earpiece, for longer range an amplifier and a loudspeaker are needed.

FIg. 65-16

Circuit Notes For maximum range, the receiver must be designed in the same manner as a radio receiver front end, since the received signals will be similar in both frequency component and in amplitude of the photodiode urrent. The major constraint on the receiver performance is signal to noise ratio, followed by e.m. shielding, stability, bias points, parts layout, etc. These become significant details in the final design. This receiver circuit consists of a L14G2 detector, two stages of gain, and a FM demodulator which is the tachometer circuit, modified to operate up to 100 kHz. Better sensitivity can be obtained using more stages of stabilized gain with AGe, lower cost and sensitivity may be obtained by using an H23Al emitter-detector pair and/or by eliminating amplifier stages. For some applications, additional filtering of the output voltage may be desired.

Circuit Notes

This circuit 'generates simultaneously ,a triangle and a square waveform. It is self starting and has no latch up problems. IC1 is an integrator with a slew rate determined by CT and RT and IC2 is a Schmitt trigger. The output of IC1 ramps up and down between the hysteresis levels of the Schmitt, the output of which drives the integrator. By making RT variable, it is possible to alter the operating frequency over a 100 to 1 range. Three resistors, one capacitor, and a dual op amp is all that is needed to make a versatile triangle and square wave oscillator with a possible frequency range of 0.1 Hz to 100 kHz.

Circuit Notes In this circuit, there are two feedback paths around an oPamp. One is positive de feedback which forms a Schmitt trigger. The other is a CR timing network. Imagine that the output voltage is + 10 V. The voltage at the noninverting terminal is + 15 V. The voltage at the inverting terminal is a rising voltage with a time constant of CTRT. When this voltage exceeds + 5 V, the op amp's output will go low and the Schmitt trigger action will make it snap into its negative state. Now the output is -10 V and the voltage at the inverting terminal falls with the time constant as before. By changing this time constant with a variable resistor, a va..'"iable frequency oscillation may be produced.

Circuit Notes The circuit consists of a variable current source that charges a capacitor, which is rapidly discharged by a Schmitt-trigger comparator. The sawtooth waveform thus produced is fed to another comparator, one with a variable switching level. The output from the second comparator is a pulse train with an independently adjustable frequency and duty cycle. The variable-frequency ramp generator consists of capacitor Cl, which is charged by a variable and nonlinear current source. The latter comprises a 2N2907A pnp transistor, plus resistor RI and the potentiometer R2. Capacitor C2 eliminates any ripple or noise at the base of the transistor that might cause frequency jitter at the output.

Circuit Notes The inexpensive 7404 hex-inverter has enough amplification to handle a wide range of transducers. Closing the key completes the battery circuit and applies four to five volts to the 7404. Bias for the first two inverter amps (VIa and Ulb) comes from the two resistors, RI and R2, connected between their inputs and outputs. The capacitor and rheostat (R3/Cl) close the feedback loop from the input to the properly-phased output. The signal leaving Ulb drives the remaining four inverter amplifiers, Ulc through Ulf; they, in turn, drive the phones or speakers. The volume control potentiometers, R4-R7, may have any value from 1500 ohms to 10,000 ohms. The smaller values work best when speakers, or low impedance phones, are used.

The dual multiplexer's upper half selects one input for display. The lower half generates a staircase to offset the baselines of each channel, keeping them separate on the screen. The emitterfollower buffers the staircase, which is then summed with the selected signal. A two-bit binary counter addresses the CMOS 4052 multiplexer.

Circuit Notes This circuit prevents damage to the load due to incorrect phasing. The three power SSR's are only permitted to turn-on for a phase sequence of phase A leading phase B. If phase A lags phase B the input currents will cancel, causing the SCR and the inhibit SSR to remain off until the sequence is reversed. The inhibit SSR is included to maintain isolation at the input.

THREE PHASE TESTER, Continued. Circuit Notes This simple three-phase tester, uses only a small current thyristor as a main element for testing the right or wrong succession of the three phases, and there is no need for a supplementary power supply. The basic circuit is shown in Fig. 69-4A. When connecting to the thyristor anode, grid, and cathode the three phases of the supply network in the sequence phase 1, phase 3, phase 2, are considered as correct, the mean value of the current through the thyristor is relatively high (since it is turned on during an entire half-period of one phase) . The result is that the LED will emit a normal light. The wave shapes for the three voltages and the current through the LED for this situation are shown in Fig. 69-4B. If the three phases are not correctly connected-phase 1 to the anode, phase 2 to the grid, and phase 3 to the cathode, for instance-the thyristor will be turned on for a very short time and the LED will produce a very poor light. The wave shapes for this case are shown in Fig. 69-4C. The delay time is given by the R3-R1R4 group. When any of the three phases is missing, there is no current through the thyristor and the LED will emit no light.

Circuit Notes The operation of the circuit is like an enabled inverter, that is, the output Y = B provided A is high. If A is low, output is low (independent of the state of B). When the signals A and B or B1 are connected to the inputs A and B of this gate the output Y is a pulse train signal (shown a Y or Yl) which has a pulse duration equal to the phase difference between the two signals. The circuit is directly suitable for phase difference measurement from zero to 1800 This performance is similar to the circuits like the Exclusive OR gate used for this purpose. With this method leading and lagging positions of the signals can also be found using an AND gate. Phase difference measured along with the leading and lagging information gives complete information about the phases of the two signals between zero and 360 0

Circuit Notes The circuit is built around a 4001 quad two-input NOR gate, it provides switch selectable auto-advance times of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 seconds through the remotecontrol socket of your projector. UIa and U1b form an astable multivibrator, with its operating frequency dependent on the number of timing resistors switched into the circuit via S2. The frequency.is about one cycle for every five seconds with a single timing resistor, one every ten seconds with two resistors, etc., providing six switched time intervals. The output of the astable at pin 4 of Ulb is fed to the input of a monostable multivibrator, consisting of the second pair of gates, Ulc and Uld. R7 and C3 are the timing components; they set the length of the (positive) output pulse of the monostable at a little more than half a second. The monostable is triggered by each positive-going input it receives from the astable. The output from the monostable therefore, consists of a series of short pulses, the interval between the pulses being controlled using S2. The output ofthe monostable (at pin 11) controls a relay by way of Ql, which is configured as an emitter-follower buffer stage. The projector is controlled via the normally-open contacts of relay Kl. When the output of the monostable goes positive, the relay contacts close, triggering the slide-change mechanism of the projector. The monostable assures that the power to the relay is applied only briefly by the timer, so that multiple operation of the projector is avoided.

Circuit Notes The solar cell is connected across the input of the FET (field-effect transistor), Ql, so that it will produce positive dc voltage to the gate when activated by light shining through the open shutter, decreasing the negative gate-source bias already established by the source resistor, and causes an increase in drain current. The drain voltage goes more negative which causes a decrease in Q2' s base current. Q2' s collector current decreases, and its collector voltage becomes more positive. There is an amplified positivegoing voltage output at the collector, and it's applied directly to the oscilloscope's vertical input, producing awaveforro that is displaced vertically whenever light strikes the cell.

RADIO ELECTRONICS

Circuit Notes One leg of the photocell (RI) is tied to the + 15 volt supply and the other end is connected to ground through resistor R2, forming a voltage-divider network. The noninverting input of the 741 op amp, !Cl, is tied to the junction formed by RI and R2, while its inverting input is grounded through resistor R3. When switch SI is pressed, another divider network is formed, reducing the voltage applied to the inverting input of theop amp. When light hits the photocell its resistance begins to decrease causing a greater voltage drop across R2 and a higher voltage to be presented to the non-inverting input of ICl. This causes lC1 to output a voltage proportional to the two inputs. The circuit gives a meter reading that depends on the intensity of light hitting photocell RI; therefore, RI should be mounted in a bottle cap so that the light must pass through a 3/16 inch hole. Potentiometer R5 is used to adjust the circuit for the negative you're working with.

Circuit Notes A negative pulse at the input is fed via capacitor Cl to the input pin (2) of the le. Pin 2 is held slightly above its triggering voltage of 1/3 Vcc by the voltage divider comprising RI. R2 and RVl. The negative pulse triggers the IC and the output (pin 3) goes high for a time period controlled by RV2, R3 and C2. When the output goes low again at the end of the time interval, capacitor C3 charges through the gate cathode circuit of the SCR switching it on and firing the flash. Capacitor Cl isolates the input from the voltage divider so that the unit isn't sensitive to the dc level at the input. RVI acts as a sensitivity control by allowing the voltage to be adjusted to a suitable level so that the input signal will trigger the IC. Resistor R4 limits the discharge current from C2 at the end of the timing cycle protecting the IC. The LED and its protective resistor R5 act as an indicator to show that the unit has triggered. simplifying the setting up process and minimizing the number of times the strobe has to be fired. This means that the strobe needn't be fired until a photo is to be taken.

Circuit Notes The circuit is based on operational amplifier lel used in the noninverting amplifier mode. Rl and 2 set the gain at about 500. RVl (sensitivity) biases the noninverting input to the negative supply. Ql provides the relatively high trigger current required by the triac. When a signal is received by the microphone, the signals are amplified (by ICl). The triac is triggered and a low resistance appears across its Al and A2 terminals which are connected via the f1ashlead to the strobe. The circuit operates almost instantly, giving very little delay between the commencement of the sound and the f1ashgun being triggered.

Circuit Notes Output-clamp diodes are mandatory because loudspeakers are inductive loads. Output LR isolation is also used because audio amplifiers are usually expected to handle up to 2 I'F load capacitance. Large, supply-bypass capacitors located close to the le are used so that the rectified load current in the supply leads does not get back into the amplifier, increasing high-frequency distortion. Single-point ground ing for all intemalleads plus the signal source and load is recommended to avoid ground loops that can increase distortion.

Circuit Notes Transistors are used for current sources. Base drive for these transistors is derived from the main power supply VA' so that their collector current is proportional to the rail voltage. This feature holds the voltage on the diff-amp collectors close to VA/2. The sensitivity of IQ to VA is about 3.4 mA/volt when VB is held constant; the sensitivity of IQ to VB is -15 mA/volt when VA is held constant. In a practical amplifier with a non-regulated supply. variations in power output will cause fluctuations in VA' but will not affect VB; therefore. having IQ increase slightly with power output will tend to compensate for the 3.4 mA/volt IQVA sensitivity. In the case of line voltage variations. since VA is about five times VB' the sensitivities tend to cancel. leaving a net sensitivity of about 2 mA/volt.

Circuit Notes The input audio signal is fed to pin 3 of Ul, an LM386 low-voltage amplifier, via C3 and Rl. Potentiometer RI sets the drive or volume level. Ul, which serves as a driver stage, can be set for a gain of from 20 to 200. The output of Ul at pin 5 is fed to U2-a 377 dual two-watt amplifier connected in parallel to produce about four watts of output power-at pins 6 and 9 via C4 and C5. Frequency stability is determined by RZ, R4, and CIa on one side, and the corresponding components R6, R5, and C9 on the other side. The outputs of the two amplifiers (at pins 2 and 13) are capacitively coupled to SPKRI through C6 and C7.

Circuit Notes The amplifier operates from supplies ranging up to 12 volts, and operates (with reduced volume) from supply voltages as low as 1.8 volts without having distortion rise to unacceptable levels. (Its power requirements make it suitable for solar-cell application.) Components external to the integrated circuit, Ul, consist of four capacitors and a potentiometer for volume control. Capacitor C3 is for decoupling, low-frequency rolloff, and power-supply ripple rejection. Capacitor C4 is an electrolytic type that couples the audio output to an 8 to 32 ohm speaker that is efficient.

Circuit Notes The amplifier's gain is nominally 20 dB. Its frequency response is determined primarily by the value of just a few components-primarily Cl and Rl. The values of the schematic diagram provide a response of 3.0 dB from about 120 Hz to better than 20,000 Hz. Actually, the frequency response is ruler flat from about 170 Hz to well over 20,000 Hz; it's the low end that deviates from a flat frequency response. The low end's roll-off is primarily a function of capacitor Cl (since RI's resistive value is fixed). If Cl's value is changed to O.lI'F, the low end's corner frequency-the frequency at which the lowend roll-off starts-is reduced to about 70 Hz. If you need an even deeper low-end rolloff, change Cl to a 1.0 I'F capacitor; if it's an electrolytic type, make certain that it's installed into the circuit with the correct polarity, with the positive terminal connected to '11's base terminal.

Circuit Notes

Rear channel "ambience" can be added to an existing stereo system to extract a difference signal (R - L or L - R) which. when combined with some direct signal (R or L), adds fullness, or "concert hall realism" to the reproduction of recorded music. Very little power is required at the rear channels, hence an LM1877 suffices for most "ambience" applications. The inputs are merely connected to the existing speaker output terminals of a stereo set, and two more speakers are connected to the ambience circuit outputs. The rear speakers should be connected in the opposite phase to those of the front speakers, as indicated by the + I - signs.

Circuit Notes This supply is powered bya transformer operating from 120 Vac on the primary and providing approximately 20 Vac on the primary, and providing approximately 20 Vac on the secondary. Four 10-A diodes with a 100 PIV rating are used in a full-wave bridge rectifier. A 10,000 I'F/36 Vdc capacitor completes the filtering, providing 28 Vdc. The dc voltage is fed to the collectors of the Darlington connected 2N3055's. Base drive for the pass transistors is from pin 10 of the ",A723 through a 200 ohm current limiting resistor, RI. The reference terminal (pin 6) is tied directly to the non-inverting input of the error amplifier (pin 5), providing 7.15 V for comparison. The inverting input to the error amplifier (pin 4) is fed from the center arm of a 10 k ohm potentiometer connected across the output of the supply. This control is set for the desired output voltage of 13.8 V. Compensation of the error amplifier is accomplished with a 500 pF capacitor connected from pin 13 to pin 4. If the power supply should exceed 8 A or develop a short circuit, the ",A 723 regulator will bias the transistors to cutoff and the output voltage will drop to near zero until the short circuit condition is corrected.

Circuit Notes

The UPS is basically an ac inverter that is powered by a 12-V, lead-acid automobile battery. During power outages, it can supply several minutes of power for an average personal computer. It incorporates a crystal-controlled 60 Hz time base, so that a computer with a real time clock can maintain its accuracy. It isolates the ac line from the computer, so it can be used to operate sensitive electronic equipment on noisy power

sources.
Two MTM60N06 Power FETs (Q1 and Q2) alternately switch current through a center-tapped 120-V to 12-V filament transformer (Tl) with its primary and secondary reversed. The 120-V output is compared with a 60 Hz reference in a closed-loop configuration that maintains a constant output at optimum efficiency.

A 60 Rz reference frequency is derived from a crystal oscillator and divider circuit, Ul. An inexpensive 3.58 MRz color burst crystal provides the time base that can be accurately adjusted by Cl. The 60 Rz output from Ul is applied to the exclusive-OR gate, U2, and then to the XR-2206 function generator (U3) that converts the square wave into a sine wave. U2 and U3 form a phase-locked loop that synchronizes the sine wave output of U3 with the 60 Rz square wave reference of Ul. The sine wave is then inverted by op amp U4a, so that two signals 180 out of phase can be applied to U4b and U4c that drive Ql and Q2. Due to the closed-loop configuration of the drive circuits, Ql and Q2 conduct only during the upper half of the sine wave. Therefore, one TMOS device conducts during the first half of the sine wave and the other conducts during the second half.

5 V SUPPLY INCLUDING STABILIZED MOMENTARY BACKUP, Continued.

Circuit Notes TIlls circuit protects microprocessor systems from "brownouts" without the expense of an uninterruptible power supply. Designed around a small 9-V nickel cadmium battery the circuit continues to provide a constant 5-V output during brownouts of up to a few seconds. Load currents of up to 500 mA may be drawn using the components shown. With this mains-derived supply present, D5 is forward biased so that the stabilized supply powers the 5-V regulator and hence the circuitry to be protected. FET T 1 is held on by D1, its drain current being provided from the dc supply via Rb and D2. Diode D3 is reverse-biased so that T2 is off, and the battery is isolated from D6. RcH and D4 serve to trickle charge the battery with approximately 1.2 mA. When the 12-V supply is removed, R1 and Cl initially keep T1 switched on. D3 is now forward biased, so that T1 drain current is drawn via Rb, D3 and T2 from the battery. This switches T2 on, allowing the load circuitry to draw current from the battery via D6 and the 5-V regulator. After a few seconds Cl has discharged (via R1) such that Vgs falls below the threshold value for the FET, and T1 switches off. There is then no path for T2 base current, so that it also switches off, isolating the battery.

POWER-SWITCHING CIRCUIT, Continued.

Circuit Notes This circuit provides on/off switching, soft starting, current monitoring, current tripping, and protection against overcurrent for a 30 Vdc power supply at normal load currents up to 2 A. The switch is turned on by an "on" command pulse; it is turned off by an "off" command pulse. An overcurrent trip can also be set on the bus side by a 6-digit binary signal, which is converted to an analog voltage and compared with the amplified voltage developed across a load-current-sensing resistor. Resistor/capacitor combinations (0.027 I'F, 2 kG) at the inputs of the current-sensing amplifiers act as low-pass filters: this introduces a few hundred I's of delay in the response to overcurrent, thereby providing some immunity to noise. The 0.022 "F capacitors connected to the drain terminals of the PFETs provide a Miller effect, which reduces the rate of change of the drain voltage and therefore the rate of rise of current at turn-on. The soft-turn-on time depends upon the load impedance and is typically 100 to 200 ms.

Circuit Notes A tapped transformer drives a diode bridge (D1-D4) and two 2500 I'F filter capacitors (Cl and C2), that provide a no-load voltage of 37 or 47 volts, depending upon the position of switch S2a. The unregulated dc is then fed to a pre-regulator stage composed of Q1 and D5. Those components protect !Cl (the 723) from an over-voltage condition; the 723 can't handle more than 40 volts. The LED (LEDl) and its 2.2 k current-limiting resistor (RI) provide on/off indication. The current through the LED varies slightly according to the transformer tap selected, but that's of no real consequence. The seriespass transistor in IC1 drives voltage-follower Q2, providing current amplification. The transistor can handle lots of power. It has a maximum collector current of 15 amps and a maximum VCE of 70 V, both of which are more than adequate for our supply.

Circuit Notes The design delivers a regulated 400-V, 60-W output. The TU94 switching regulator governs the operating frequency and regulates output voltage. RI and Cl determine ~witching frequency, which is approximately 0.5RC-100 kHz for the values shown. The TU94 directly drives the FET's gates with a voltage-controlled, pulse-width-modulated signal. After full-wave rectification, the output waveform is filtered by a choke-input arrangement. The 1l'H, 751'F filter accomplishes the job nicely at 100 kHz. A feedback scheme using R4, R5 and R6 provides for output-voltage regulation adjustment, with loop compensation handled by C2. Diodes-Dl and D2 provide isolation and steering for the 33-V zener transient clamp, D3. Output regulation is typically 1.25% from no-load to the full 60-W design rating. Regulation is essentially determined by the TU94. Output noise and ripple consists mainly of positive and negative O.8-V spikes occurring when the output stage switches,

Circuit Notes To generate regulated 5-V supplies from a pair of dry batteries, the circuit of Fig. 1 is commonly used. In order to give protection from inadvertent reverse connection of a battery, a diode in series with each battery would produce an unacceptable voltage drop. The more effective approach is to fit diodes Dl and D2 as shown in Fig. 2, in parallel with each battery. When the supply is switched off, there is the risk of a reverse bias being applied across the regulators, if there is significant inductance or capacitance in the load circuit. Diodes across the regulators prevent damage. When the power supply is switched on, the two switches do not act in unison. There is a probability that one or the other regulators ",ill be latched hard off by the other. To prevent this, D3 and D4 are Zener diodes so that 5-V rails are pulled up by the batteries until the regulators establish the correct levels.

Circuit Notes A dual-voltage circuitry both strikes and maintains the arc. The lamps require a starting voltage in excess of 1,000 volts. Once stabilized, the voltage drop across the lamp is near 20 volts. Power supply consists of two main sections. The first section, the lowvoltage power supply section, is an 84-volt direct-current supply. Tbis supply powers the stabilized arc. Current is limited by the 10 ohm adjustable and 25 ohm fixed resistance. The second section, the high-voltage starter circuit, is a Cockroft-Walton voltage multiplier. With no load, the output voltage is 2,036 volts. However, when the arc is established, the heavy current drain maintains a forward bias on all of the diodes, and the circuit becomes a straight path with a voltage drop of 7.2 volts. The small value of the capacitors used in the multiplier guarantees that the diodes will be forward-biased once the arc is established.

Circuit Notes To prevent loss of data when a CMOS RAM is switched from normai operation (VCC~5 volts) to stand-by mode (V CC~ VBAT) it must be ensured that the CS pin goes near the Vcc rail at ail times. Ac coupling to the chip select is made through capacitor C, breaking the dc current path between Vcc (and hence VBAT) and the decoder output. So, whatever the impedance state of the decoder in power down, the battery will provide current only for the RAM, low enough to keep the voltage at CS near to Vcc.

Circuit Notes

The circuit is an open loop rms voltage regulator that will provide 500 watts of power at 90 V rms with good regulation for an input voltage range of llO-l30 V rms. With the input voltage applied, capacitor Cl charges until the firing point of Q3 is reached causing it to fire. This turns Q5 on which allows current to flow through the load. As the input voltage increases, the voltage across R10 increases which increases the firing point of Q3. This delays the firing of Q3 because Cl now has to charge to a higher voltage before the peak-point voltage is reached. Thus the output voltage is held fairly constant by delaying the firing of Q5 as the input voltage increases. For a decrease in the input voltage, the reverse occurs.

Circuit Notes This circuit uses a low-cost feedback scheme in which the de voltage developed from the primary-side control winding is sensed by the UCl842 error amplifier. Load regulation is therefore dependent on the .coupling between secondary and control windings, and on transformer leakage inductance. For applications requiring better load regulation, a UC1901 Isolated Feedback Generator can be used to directly sense the output voltage.

Circuit Notes

This SCR pre-regulator keeps the filter capacitor Vc' in a variable output power supply, a few volts above the output voltage V0' The benefits include: less heat dissipated by the pass transistor and therefore small heatsink, cooler operation and higher efficiency, especially at low output voltages. Ql, RI, R2, D 1 and D2 form a constant current source for zener ZI, so that the contribution to the output current is always a few mA (2 - 3 mAl. The Darlington pair Q2, Q3 keeps the SCR off. The voltage Vc decreases until Vc = V0 = V at which point the Darlington pair fires the SCR, charging the filter capacitor to a higher voltage Vc 1 in less than half the period of the input voltage. The component values, shown are for a 0 - 250-V, 3-A power supply.

Circuit Notes A power transistor can be used to provide a high powered zener voltage from a low wattage zener. A 400 mW zener can be used where a 10 watt zener is required or a 1 W zener can be used where a 50 to 80 watt zener is required by using appropriate transistors for Ql and Q2 in the circuits shown. Where low rating is required, Ql would be an ASZ 15 (germanium) or an AY9140 (silicon). Q2 could be a 2N2955 (silicon). For higher powers, Ql should be an ASZ18 (germanium) or a 2N2955 (silicon) and Q2 a 2N3055 (silicon) or an AY8149 (silicon). A heatsink on the transistor is required. The circuit in A has the advantage that power transistors can be bolted directly on to a chassis which may serve as a heatsink.

Circuit Notes By repetitively charging and discharging a capacitor through the primary of an induction coil with a high voltage. an ultra high emf is induced in the secondary. Switching is performed by the triac. triggered by the disc at times set by Cl and Rl. With a 12 V car ignition coil for example. the length of sparkgap obtained is 12 mm of air for C2 ~ 0.1 "F. If the dielectric strength of air is assumed to be 3 kV/mm. this spark-gap length corresponds to 36 kV. rom the curve shown in Fig. B. care must be taken in keeping the value of C2 below 1 "F as the coil is liable to be seriously damaged at this value of C2. Power consumption is only about one watt.

Circuit Notes This circuit uses a tricolor LED display to indicate acceptable and unacceptable output voltages. One to set the upper voltage limit, the other, the lower voltage limit. When the monitored voltage is above the set maximum, the LED display turns red. YeUow turns on for voltages below the set minimum, and green turns on for voltages between the high and the low settings. The circuit does not need a separate power supply. It is powered by the voltage it monitors. The circuit can be adapted to monitor voltage differences between two power supplies. Should the monitored voltages differ by more than a set value, a visual or an audible alarm would warn the operator about the difference. The circuit can also be modified for remote monitoring and the use of a separate power supply.

It is ideal for monitoring rechargeable batteries since it draws only a few mieroamperes when not sounding. The voltage at which the alarm sounds is determined by the zener diode. When the voltage falls below the zener voltage. the alarm sounds. The alarm tone is determined by the RC time constant of the 39 k resistor and 0.01 mf capacitor.

the reset. Diode Dg prevents charge sharing between capacitors Cj and Ck. Resistors Rn and Rm form a feedback network around the voltage reference section of the LM10C, setting a threshold voltage of 3.4 volts. The threshold voltage is set at 90% of the minimum voltage of the triangular waveform. When the triangular wave trough, at the comparator's non-inverting input, dips below the threshold, the comparator output is driven low. This presents a reset to the microprocessor. Capacitor Ch is charged slowly through resistor Rk and discharged rapidly through diode De.

Circuit Notes

The silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) is rated to handle at leas1 the current of the power supply. It is connected in parallel across the 12 V dc output lines, but remains inert until a voltage appears at the gate terminal. This triggering voltage is supplied by the zener diode. At potentials less than 14 V the zener will not conduct current. But, at potentials greater than 14 Vdc the zener conducts and creates a voltage drop across the 330 ohm resistor that will fire the SCR. When the SCR turns on, the output lines of the power supply are shorted to ground. This will blow the primary fuse or burn out the transformer if there is no primary fuse.

Circuit Notes When using a regulated supply to reduce a supply voltage there is always the danger of component failure in the supply and consequent damage to the equipment. A fuse will protect when excess current is drawn, but might be too slow to cope with overvoltage conditions. The values shown are for a 12 V supply being dropped to 5 V. The trip voltage is set to 5.7 V to protect the equipment in the event of a regulator fault. The 330 ohm resistor and the 500 ohm potentiometer form a potential divider which samples the output voltage as set by adjustment of the potentiometer. The SCR is selected to carry at least twice the fuse rating. The full supply voltage is connected to the input of the regulator. The 2N2906 is held bias off by the 10 k resistor and the SCR so that the LED is held off. If the output voltage rises above a set trip value then the SCR will conduct, the fuse will blow. and the 2N3906 will be supplied with base current via the 10 k resistor, and the LED will light up.

Ci rcuit Notes

The current tracer helps locate a defective IC that is loading down the power supply. The tracer amplifies the small voltage drop caused by current flow along a fraction of an inch of PC wiring and drives an ordinary microamrneter. Needle-point test probes are used to contact the edge of a PC trace and to follow the current to determine which branch the current takes. One-half of a dual 741 op amp forms a dc amplifier with ac feedback to prevent oscillations and hum-pickup problems. It drives a 50-to-100 p.A meter. The other op amp provides a center tap for the 9 V battery supply and zero adjustment with R4. Two diodes protect the meter. Resistor RI eliminates the necessity for shorting the probes when the meter is zeroed. The value of 1 ohm is large when compared with the resistance of the meter leads plus the bridged portion of PC wiring.

Circuit Notes

A clamp-on "current probe" such as the Tektronix P6021 is a useful means of displaying current waveforms on an oscilloscope. Unfortunately, the low-frequency response is somewhat limited, as shown in the Table. The more sensitive range on the P6021 is 2 rnA/mY, but it has a roll-off of 6 dB per octave below 450 Hz. The compensator counteracts the IOW-frequency attenuation, and this is achieved by means of C3 and R4 + PI in the feedback around op amp NI. The latter is a low-noise type, such as the LM725 shown, and even so it is necessary at some point to limit the increasing gain with decreasing frequency; otherwise amplifier noise and drift will overcome the signal. The values shown for C3R3 give a lower limit below 1 Hz. A test square wave of 10 rnA is fed to the current probe so that PI can be adjusted for minimum droop or overshoot in the output waveform. At high frequencies, the response begins to fall off at 100 kHz.

Circuit Notes The 650 MHz Prescaler Probe's input is terminated by resistor RI and is fed through Cl to the diode limiter composed of D1 through D4. Those diodes are forward-biased by the + 5 volt supply for small-input signals and, in turn, feed the signal to VI. However, for larger input signals, diodes D1 through D4 will start to turn off, passing less of the signal, and, thus, attenuating it. But even in a full-off state, the FHllOO-type diodes will always pass a small part of the input to VI because of capacitive leakage within the diodes. Integrated circuit VI, a Plessey SL952 bipolar amplifier, capable of 1 GHz operation, provides 20 to 30 dB of gain. The input signal is supplied to pin 10, VI with

the other input (pin 11) is bypassed to ground. The output signal is taken at pin 3 and pin 4, with pin 3 loaded by R4 and pin 4 by R5. Integrated circuit 11 C90, V2, is a high-speed prescaler capable of 650 MHz operation configured for a divide-by-lO format. A reference voltage internally generated appears at pin 15 and is tied to pin 16, the clock input. This centers the capacitive-coupled input voltage from VI around the switching threshold-voltage level. An ECL-to-TTL converter in VI provides level conversion to drive TTL input counters by typing pin 13 low. Therefore, no external ECL to TTL converter is required at the pin 11 output. On the other hand, ECL outputs are available at V2, pin 8 (Q4) and at pin 9 (Q4), if desired. In that circuit configuration, pin 13 is left open, and V2 will use less power.

HANDSON ELECTRONICS

Circuit Notes Inverters Ula and Ulb are connected in a simple RC oscillator circuit. The frequency is determined by the values of RI, Cl, C2, and the internal characteristics of the integrated circuit. As long as the circuit is oscillating, a positive dc voltage is developed at the output of the voltage-coupler circuit: C3, Dl, D2 and C4. The dc voltage is applied to the input of Ulc-the third inverter amplifier-keeping its output in a low state, which keeps Ql turned off so that no sound is produced by BZL With Cl and C2 adjusted to the most sensitive point, the pickup plate will detect a hand 3 to_5-inches away and sound an alert. Set Cl and C2 to approximately one-half of their maximum value and apply power to the circuit. The circuit should oscillate and no sound should be heard. Using a non-metallic screwdriver, carefully adjust Cl and C2, one at a time, to a lower value until the circuit just ceases oscillation: Buzzer BZl should sound off. Back off either Cl or C2 just a smidgen until the oscillator starts up again-that is the most sensitive setting of the circuit.

Circuit Notes The circuit offers independent control of initial delay and pulse rate. !C1c is connected as a pulse generator whose operation is inhibited by the normally low O/P of the !C1a. When the circuit input goes low Le., by pressing PB1, IC1b O/P goes high and the circuit O/P goes low thus replicating the input. When the input is keptlow capacitor Cl charges via R2 to a point where IC1a O/P goes low. This allows the pulse generator IC1c to start and "rapid fire" pulses appear at the circuit O/P. When the circuit input returns to the high state Cl is rapidly discharged via D1 and Ri. The value of R2 and Cl control the initial delay while R3 and C2 control the pulse rate. The values given will give a delay of around 0.5 seconds and a pulse rate of 200/300 Hz depending on supply voltage. PB1 may be replaced by an open collector TTL gate or a common emitter transistor stage if required.

Circuit Notes In applications where the period of the input pulses is uneven and the divider is required to cover a wide range of frequencies, the non-integer programmable pulse divider shown can be used. The purpose of the D-type flip-flop (IC2) is to synchronize the input sigoal with the clock pulse. When the clock pulse changes from low to high and the input is high, IC2 output goes high. Subsequently, IC3 resets to zero and starts counting up. The number of pulses at the output of IC3 is ten time the input pulse. IC4 and ICS are cascaded to form a two decade progranunable down counter.

Circuit Notes In the absence of radiation, no current is drawn. At normal background radiation levels the power consumption is extremely low. The instrument may be left on for several months without changing batteries. In this way the detector is always ready to indicate an increase in radiation. An LED is used as an indicator lamp. With background radiation it draws less than 50 pA. A ferrite pot core is used for the transformer with NI ~ 30, N2 ~ 550, and N3 ~ 7. Using two 1.5V batteries with 0.5 Ah total capacity, the detector can work at background radiation levels for 0.5 Ah .;. 50pA ~ 10,000 hours, which is more than a year.

Circuit Notes A single 6.75 V mercury battery powers the counter, which features a 1 mA countrate meter as well as an aural output. A regulated 900 V supply provides stable operation of the counter tube. A multivibrator, built around a differential power amplifier IC2, drives the step-up transformer. Comparator ICl varies the multivibrator duty cycle to provide a constant 900 V. The entire regulated supply draws less than 2 mA. A one-shot multivibrator, built with IC3, provides output pulses that have constant width and amplitude. Thus the average current through the meter is directly proportional to the pulse-rate output from the counter tube. And the constant-width pulses also drive the speaker. Full-scale meter deflection (1 mAl represents 5000 counts/min, or 83.3 pulses/so A convenient calibration checkpoint can be provided on the meter scale for 3600 ppm (60 pulses/s.)

Circuit Notes The application involves observing the light pulse emerging from a thick specimen after traosillumination by a laser pulse. Pulses derived from the laser source are amplified using a Video Amplifier LM733. The reference level is set to 1 V in the comparator LM 710, to provide the necessary trigger pulses for the monostable multivibrator 7412l. The laser pulses have a repetition frequency of 500 Hz and suitable values are as below:
RI R2

33 k ohm, Cl = 22 pF = 33 k ohm, C2 = 68nF

The pulse width for each monostable is approximately given by tw = 0.7 RC. R3 and C3 is a high pass filter. The method therefore permits the use of low cost components having moderate response times for extracting the pulse of interest.

Circuit Notes A simple X-band radar detector is capable of indicating changes in rf radiation strength at levels down to 2 mW/cm2 . Radiation falling on the detector diode, produces a voltage at the input of an amplifier whose gain may be adjusted to vary the range at which the warning is given. The amplifier output drives a voltage comparator with a variable threshold set to a level that avoids false alarms. The comparator output is connected in the wired-OR configuration with the open collector output of an oscillator running at a frequency of 2 Hz. In the absence of a signal, the comparator output level is low, inhibiting the oscillator output stage and holding the buffer so the lamp is off. When a signal appears, the comparator output goes high, removing the lock from the oscillator which free-runs, switching the lamp on and off at 2 Hz.

Circuit Notes The circuit can be tuned to respond to signals between 50 MRz and 500 GRz. The economy model is shown in Fig. I, and the deluxe model is shown in Fig. 2. The first op amp in each circuit functions as a current-to-voltage converter. In the economy model IClb buffers the output to drive the piezo buzzer. The deluxe model functions in a similar manner except that IClb is configured as a x 20 buffer amplifier to drive the LM386. In both circuits Cl functions as a "transmission line" that intercepts the incident radar signal. The response may be optimized by trimming Cl's lead length for the desired frequency. Typically the capacitor's leads should be 0.5-0.6 inches long.

In the positive ramp generator. the external transistor driven by the Pin 3 output rapidly discharges Cl at the end of the charging period so that charging can resume instantaneously. The pnp transistor of the negative ramp generator likewise rapidly charges the timing capacitor Cl at the end of the discharge period.

Circuit Notes This circuit can be used to prevent relay contact arcing for loads up to 50 amperes. There is some delay between the time a relay coil is energized and the time the contacts close. There is also a delay between the time the coil is de-energized and the time the contacts open. For the relay used in this circuit both times are about 15 ms. The TRIAC across the relay contacts will turn on as soon as sufficient gate current is present to fire it. This occurs after switch 51 is closed but before the relay contacts close. When the contacts close, the load current passes througb them, rather than througb the TRIAC, even though the TRIAC is receiving gate current. If 51 should be closed during the negative half cycle of the ac line, the TRIAC will not turn on immediately but will wait until the voltage begins to go positive, at which time diode D1 conducts providing gate current through Ri. The maximum time that could elapse before the TRIAC turns on is S-y, ms for the 60 Hz supply. This is adequate to ensure that the TRIAC will be on before the relay contact closes.

The tester is built around a single quad op amp chip, the LM324. R, which is chosen to be around 80 times the resistance to be checked, and the 5 V supply form the current source. The first op amp buffers the voltage generated across the resistanceunder test, R,.. The second op amp amplifies this voltage.

Circuit Notes

The tester gives an audible indication, making it unnecessary for the user to look directly at the instrument to observe a meter reading. In addition, the current and voltage of the tester are strictly limited. It can apply no more than 0.6 volts dc and no more than 3 mA through the probes. It can therefore be used safely on circuit boards in which semiconductor components have been installed, and on complementary metal oxide/semiconductor integrated circuits, which are highly susceptible to damage during testing. The tester can be adjusted to indicate continuity below any resistance value up to 35 ohms. For example, if the user sets the tester to 30 ohms, the unit will emit an audible tone whenever the resistance between the probes is 30 ohms or less; if, for example, the resistance is 30.2 ohms, the unit will remain silent.

Circuit Notes

The amplifier provides a total power gain of about 25 dB, and the construction technique allows the use of inexpensive components throughout. The MRF476 is specified as a 3 watt device and theMRF475 has an output power ofl2 watts. Both are extremely tolerant to overdrive and load mismatches, even under CW conditions. Typical IMD numbers are better than -35 dB, and the power gains are 18 dB and 12 dB, respectively, at 30 MHz. The bias currents of each stage are individually adjustable with R5 and R6. Capacitors C4 and CID function as audio-frequency bypasses to further reduce the source impedance at the frequencies of modulation. Gain levelin& across the band is achieved with simple RC networks in series with the bases, in conjunction with negative feedback. The amplitude of the out-of-phase voltages at the bases is inversely proportional to the frequency as a result of the series inductance in the feedback loop and the increasing inputimpedance of the transistor at low frequencies. Conversely, the negative feedback lowers the effective input impedance presented to the source (not the input impedance of the device itselt) and with proper voltage slope would~equa1ize it. With this technique, it is possible to maintain an input VSWR of 1.5:1 or less than 1.6 to 30 MHz.

Circuit Notes Simplicity and repeatability are featured in !bis 1 watt S-band amplifier design. The design uses an MRF2001 transistor as a common base, Class C amplifier. The amplifier delivers 1 watt output with 8 dB minimum gain at 24 V, and is tunable from 2.25 to 2.35 GHz. Applications include microwave communications equipment and other systems requiring medium power, narrow band amplification. The amplifier circuitry consists almost entirely of distributed microstrip elements. A total of six additional components, induding the MRF200l, are required to build a working amplifier. The input and output impedances of the transistor are matched to 50 obms by double section low pass networks. The networks are designed to provide about 3% 1 dB power bandwidth while maintaining a collector efficiency of approximately 30%. There is one tuning adjustment in the amplifier-Cl~in the output network. Ceramic chip capacitors, C2 and C3, are used for dc blocking and power supply decoupJing. Additional low frequency decoupJing is provided by capacitors C4 and C5.

Circuit Notes This amplifier operates from a 28 Vdc supply. It has a typical gain of 12 dB, and can survive operation into a 30:1 VSWR load at any phase angle with no damage. The amplifier has an AGe range in excess of 20 dB. This means that with input power held constant at the level that provides 125 watts output, the output power may be reduced to less than 1.0 watt continuously by driving the dc gate voltage negative from its IDQ value.

6-METER KILOWATT AMPLIFIER

Circu it Notes The amplifier uses a grounded grid circuit with either the Eimac 3CXlOOOA7 or 8877, ceramic/metal triodes intended for linear service ill the HF and VHF ranges. The amp provides the legal power output of 1500 watts PEP and CW service with no effort and requires a driver delivering between 50 and 80 watts at 50 MHz. With a plate voltage of 3000 volts at 0.8 amps the amplifier performs at 60 percent efficiency. The grid is grounded by means of the grid ring of the 3CXlOOOA7 socket providing a low-inductance path Id ground. The amplifier is completely stable.

Circuit Notes The circuit has a frequency response ranging from 100 Hz to 3 MHz; gain is about 30 dB. Field-effect transistor Ql is configured in the common-source self-biased mode; optional resistor RI sets the input impedance to any desired value. Commonly, it will be 50 ohms. The signal is then direct-coupled to Q2, a common-base circuit that isolates the input and output stages and provides the amplifier's exceptional stability. Q3 functions as an emitter follower, to provide low output impedance (about 50 ohms). For higher output impedance, include resistor R8. It will affect impedance according to this formula: R8 - Rout - 50. Otherwise, connect output capacitor C4 directly to the emitter of Q3.

Circuit Notes This wideband RF isolation amplifier has a frequency response of 0.5 to 400 MHz 0.5 dB. This two stage amplifier can be used in applications requiring high reverse isolation, such as receiver intermediate-frequency (IF) strips and frequency distribution systems. Both stages use complementary-symmetry transistor arrangements. The input stage is a common-base connection for the complementary circuit. The output stage, which supplies the positive gain, is a common-emitter circuit using emitter degeneration and collector-base feedback for impedance control.

Circuit Notes This broadband amplifier covers the 225-400 MRz military communications band producing 10 watt RF output power and operating from a 28 volt supply. The amplifier can be used as a driver for higher power devices such as 2N6439 and MRF327. The circuit is designed to be driven by a 50 ohm source and operate into a nominal 50 ohm load. The input matching network consists of a section composed of C3, C4, Z2, C5 and C6. C2 is a dc blocking capacitor, and Tl is a 4:1 impedance ratio coaxial transformer. Zl is a 50 ohm transmission line. A compensation network consisting of Rl, Cl, and Ll is used to improve the input VSWR and flatten the gain response of the amplifier. L2 and a small ferrite bead make up the base bias choke. The output network is made up of a microstrip L-section consisting of Z3 and C7, and a high pass section consisting of C8 and L3. C8 also serves as a dc blocking capacitor. Collector decoupling is accompJished through the use of L4, L5, C9, ClO, Cll, C12, and C13.

Circuit Notes This circuit rapidly charges capacitor CSTO to a voltage equal to an input signal. The input signal is then electrically disconnected from the capacitor with the charge still remaining on CSTO ' Since CSTO is in the negative feedback loop of the operational amplifier. the output voltage of the amplifier is equal to the voltage across the capacitor. Ideally. the voltage across CSTO should remain constant causing the output of the amplifier to remain constant as well. However. the voltage across CSTO will decay at a rate proportional to the current being injected or taken out of the current summing node of the amplifier. This current can come from four sources: leakage resistance of

Note that the voltages on the source, drain and gate of switch SW2 are zero or near zero when the circuit is in the hold mode. Careful construction will eliminate stray resistance paths and capacitor resistance can be eliminated if a quality capacitor is selected. The net result is a low drift sample and hold circuit.

Circuit Notes When switch SWl is positive. the FET is turned on, and has a resistance of about 400 ohm. The input voltage charges up the capacitor through the FET. When SWl is negative, the FET is turned off (pinched off). To get a long storage time, the op amp must have a very low input bias current. For the CA3140. this current is about 10 pico amps. The rate at which the capacitor will be discharged by this current is based on the equation, C (dv/dt) ~ i where dv/dt is the rate of change of voltage on the capacitor. Therefore:

Circuit Notes During nonnal "hold" mode, the replicated analog voltage is buffered straight through the StH amplifier to the output. Upon issuance of a SAMPLE signal, the SIH amplifier is placed in the hold mode, holding the voltage until the new analog voltage is valid. The same SAMPLE signal triggers an update to the input sample-and-hold amplifier. The most current analog voltage is captured and held for conversion. The previously determined voltage is held stable at the output during the conversion cycle while the SARIDto-A converter continuously adjusts to replicate the new input voltage. At the end of the conversion, the output sample-and-hold amplifier is once again placed in the track mode. The new analog voltage is then regenerated.

Circuit Notes A Wien bridge oscillator produces sine waves with very low distortion level. The Wien bridge oscillator produces zero phase shift at only one frequency (f = Y, 7r RC) which will be the oscillation frequency. Stable oscillation can occur only if the loop gain remains at unity at the oscillation frequency. The circuit achieves this control by using the positive temperature coefficient of a small lamp to regulate gain (~/RLAMP) as the oscillator attempts to vary it~ output. The oscillator shown here has four frequency bands covering about 15 Hz to 150 kHz. The frequency is continuously variable within each frequency range with ganged 20 k ohm potentiometers. The oscillator draws only about 4.0 mA from the 9-V batteries. Its output is from 4 to 5 V with a 10 k ohm load and the Rf (feedback resistor) is set at about 5% below the point of clipping. As shown, the center arm of the 5 k ohm output potentiometer is the output terminal. To couple the oscillator to a dc type circuit, a capacitor should be inserted in series with the output lead.

Circuit Notes UIA, an op amp, oscillates at the frequency at which the phase shift in the Wien bridge network is exactly zero degrees. Changing bridge component values changes the oscillator frequency. In this circuit, we need change only the two resistors to do this. SIA chooses a value among RI through R6, and SIB similarly selects a value from R7 through RI2. UIA must provide enough gain to overcome losses in the bridge, but not so much gain that oscillation builds up to the point of overload and distortion. U2 and

Cl automatically regulate circuit gain to maintain oscillation_ U2 places D1 across R13 with the proper polarity on both positive and negative alterations of the signal at pin 1 of Ul. As the voltage at pin 1 of U1 approaches its peak value, D1 enters its Zener breakdown region, effectively shunting R13 with a resistive load_ This increases the amount of negative feedback around Ul, reducing its gain. R15, WAVEFORM AD], allows you to optimize circuit operation for lowest distortion. UlB provides isolation between oscillator and load. With the values shown for R17 and R18, U1B operates at unity gain.

Circuit Notes In the circuit the frequency trinuning component is arranged so that the voltage across it is in quadrature with the voltage V0 from the bridge so that as it is adjusted the attenuation of the bridge only changes a little, avoiding the need for a two gang component. The range of variation of frequency is very limited. By using a high gain amplifier and metal film feedback resistors the loop gain can be set so that the unit just oscillates and the use of an automatic gain setting component, a thennistor for example, is eliminated.

Circuit Notes Transistor Q5 and the 1000 ohm resistor form the variable element needed for controlling the frequency of veo by limiting the charging current flowing into the 0.151'F timing capacitor according to the forward bias being applied to Q5. As the voltage on pins 2 and 6 of Ul reach , Vcc (about 6 volts with a 9-volt supply) the timer will fire and pin 3 will be pulled low. Pin 7, an open collector output, goes low and begins to discharge the timing capacitor-through the 3.3 kilohm resistor. The discharge time provided by this resistor assures a reasonable, although asymmetrical, waveform for the aural signal generated by Ul. At y, Vcc the internal flip-flop resets, the output on pin 3 goes high, the open collector output on pin 7 floats, and the timing cycle begins again.

Circuit Notes Two 741 operational amplifiers are used for the active element in this Wien bridge oscillator. (The 1458 is the dual version of the 741.) Frequencies of the two oscillators were chosen to fit standard component values. Other frequencies between 500 and 2000 Hz can be employed. They should not be harmonically related. The output level of UIA is set by a resistive divider. while the output of UIB is adjustable through RI. The output of the two oscillators is combined in U2. an op-amp adder with unity gain. The output from U2 can be adjusted using R2.

Circuit Notes This circuit can be built small enough to lit inside a toy. The circuit consists of a relaxation oscillator utilizing one unijunction transistor (2N2646, MUIO, T1S43). R2 and C2 determine the frequency of the tone. Pushing the button, SWI charges up the capacitor and the potential at the junction of R2 and C2 rises, causing an upswing in the frequency of oscillation. On releasing the pushbutton the charge on C2 will drop slowly with a proportional reduction in the frequency of oscillation. Manual operation of the button at intervals of approximately 2 seconds will produce a siren sound.

Circuit Notes The circuit consists of a multivibrator (Q1 & Q2), and a low power output stage Q3. The speaker should have an impedance in the region of 40 to 80 ohms. To use a low impedance speaker, connect an output transformer from the emitter of Q3 to ground. Cl and C2 determine the pitch of the siren and the values specified will provide a tone of about 300 Hz. Quiescent current is negligible. The output at the collector of Q2 can also be fed into an amplifier input via a 11'F electrolytic, in series with a 12 k resistor.

The hee-haw circuit has a low frequency astable modulator added to make a self-contained European-type siren. Tone and rate can be varied as desired by changing capacitor values. IT the tone is too harsh, a simple R-C filter will remove the harmonic contentthe multivibrator output is almost a square wave. With the resistor values shown, no startup problems occur; but if the 2.2 k or 2.7 k resistors are changed too much, latch-up can be a problem.

Circuit Notes The circuit uses a 741 op amp operating as an inverting amplifier to amplify the v{)ltage produced by an 8-ohm speaker used to detect any sounds. The feedback resistor R3, a I-megohm potentiometer used to vary the gain of the amplifier determines the sensitivity of the circuit. When SI is dosed in the (SET)llosition and a sound is applied to the speaker, SCRl is turned on. It will remain in conduction until the anode voltage is removed by opening SI, putting it in its RESET position. (Once an SCR is turned on, the gate or trigger has no control over the circuit.) As long as the SCR conducts, the Triac, TRl, will remain on and supply voltage to the load.

Circuit Notes The electronic circuit in the VOX Box consists of three parts: a microphone preamplifier, a Schmitt trigger, and a relay driver. Input signals (MIC INPUT terminals) to the microphone preampli1ier (UI) are amplified and fed to a THRESHOLD control (R8), When the preselected threshold voltage level is exceeded, the output of the Schmitt trigger (U2) immediately goes high, The signal from U2 is rectified and the voltage developed across C7 turns on the relay energizer transistor (Ql), That transistor action passes pull'down current through the coil of relay KI, The changing of the relay SPDT contacts can be used to either make or break an external ac or dc circuit,

For safety's sake, keep the 117-V line voltage from the amplifier connectionsthat is the reason for using Tl. To adjust, set potentiometer RI "off" and adjust the amplifier volume control for a nonnallistening level. Then adjust the potentiometer until the lamp starts to throb in step with the beat.

Circuil Notes TIlls circuit can generate a European police-car siren, bird noises, spaceship sounds, etc. In addition, it can be put to use as a doorbell, an alann, etc. The circuit consists of four parts: a binary counter, a D/A converter, a YCO, and an audio output amplifier. The initial frequency of oscillation is determined by potentiometer RH. The YCO first oscillates at a relatively low frequency, and gradually picks up speed as the control voltage supplied by the D/A converter increases. The D/A converter is the group of resistors RI-R8. When none of ICI's outpllts is active, little current will flow into the base of QI, so the YCO's control voltage will be low. As more and more counter outputs become active, base current increases,and thereby so does the YCO's frequency of oscillation. The YCO itself is composed of IC2-a, IC2-b, QI, and the timing network comprising DI-D4, Cl, RIO, and RH. The buffer amplifier is made up of the four remaining gates from IC2, all wired in parallel.

This circuit consists of twin-T sine-wave oscillators. Each oscillator has a filter in the feedback loop. If the loop gain is greater than unity, the circuit will oscillate. Gain is adjusted to be just less than unity. Touching the touch plate "tarts the oscillator, but the moment your finger is removed from the touch plate the oscillations will rue away. The rate of decay is a function of circuit gain and controlled by RVl (and RV3).

The frequency of the clock is adjusted with the 10 M pot and the output voltage of the clock is adjusted by the 100 k pot (rate and volume of chuff respectively). The 2M2 pot controls the amount of noise produced and the 1 k pot on the speaker controls the pitch of the average noise.

Circuit Notes The waveform of a steam whistle is a complex combination of white noise and an audio frequency oscillation. The noise generator is a transistor (Ql) biased into zener mode. The audio frequency oscillation is a straightforward mixture of two similar (but not identical) sine waves, which after their addition produce a more complex waveshape. The sine wave generators are twin-t oscillators. Preset RVl mixes the two sine waves so that an appropriate waveform is obtained. RV2 mixes this waveform with the white noise. Adjustment of all three presets will result in the required sound. integrated circuit [Cl is an operational amplifier used as a simple mixer/amplifier which combines the steam whistle, chuffer, (generated elsewhere) and two-tone horn sounds into one, suitable for amplification by an external amplifier.

The waa-waa effect is achieved as certain frequencies are amplified more than others. A phase shift RC oscillator makes up the basic circuit. Negative feedback is obtained by feeding part of the signal back to the base. When adjusting initially, RV1 is turned to minimum. RV2 is adjusted to a point at which ao audible whistle appears indicating oscillation. RV1 is then adjusted till the oscillation just disappears. It should be possible to set RV2 to aoy value without any oscillation, this should also be achieved with the minimum possible value of RVl.

Circuit Notes It seems that guitar fuzz boxes have been around since the beginning of rock, and have seen little improvement over the years. This one is somewhat different because rather than simply distorting the sound, it also pulses in step with the peaks of the waveform from the pickup because of the Schmitt trigger op amp circuit. Capacitor C2 requires some explanation. It should normally be a 1- or 2-/LF electrolytic capacitor. However, we show the value as 470 pF because it's recommended as ao experimental value giving far out effects.

The six outputs are combined to give the required waveforms. It is interesting to note that although NOR gates are shown, OR gates will give effectively the same result. The circuit can be extended as shown in Fig. 2 to give pseudo-sine waves if that is required, but that will diminish the simplicity of the circuit.

Circuit Notes The meter will show volume and tone control balance between left and right stereo amplifiers. For maximum convenience the meter is a zero-center type. Resistors are five percent or better and the diodes a matched pair. Optimum stereo level and phase balance occurs for matched speakers when the meter indicates zero. If the meter indicates either side of zero, the levels are not matched or the wires are incorrectly phased. Check phasing by making certain the meter leads are connected to the amplifier hot terminals and the common leads go to ground.

Circuit Notes Initially the neon and xenon lamps are not conducting and act like a very high (almost infinite) resistance. Capacitors Cl and C4 in conjunction with Dl and D2 form a voltage doubler circuit, which can charge C2 up to about 300 Vdc after several ac cycles. Voltage increases as current is supplied through RI and R2. Neon bulb I1 will all of a sudden start to conduct when the voltage across C3 reaches I1' s ioni2ation potential. While conducting, the resistance of the bulb will be relative low. Due to this sudden conduction, a pulse of current will pass through the primary of Tl. The turns ratio is such that about 400 V will be developed at the secondary. The xenon tube is similar to the neon bulb in that it produces light when the gas ioni2es and conducts. However, it is designed so that an external signal (the 4 kV on the metal ring around the tube) ioni2es the gas and initiates the conduction. When Fl conducts, it discharges C2. At this point, the whole cycle starts over again. The purpose of R2 is to vary the rate at which C3 charges, and hence the repetition rate of the strobe.

Circuit Notes When SI is on, power is applied to an oscillator composed of Q1, RI, Cl, Ll, and L2, Coil L1 is the primary winding of n, and L2 is the feedback winding, When Q1 turns on, its collector current saturates T1's ferrite core, That, in turn, removes the base drive to Q1 through L2, Transistor Q1 then turns off. As the field around Ll and L2 decays, Q1 will eventually turn on again, and the cycle repeats over, and over. Transformer T1 is a step-up, ferrite-core, potted-type unit whose secondary-winding (L3) output is rectified by D2 and filtered by C2. That capacitor charges up to around 250 to 300 volts, which is applied to the resistor divider composed of R3 and R4, along with the flash tube FXl. Capacitors C3 and C4 will charge up to around 200 and 100 volts, through R3 and R4, respectively. Flash rate is adjustable via R4. When the charge on C4 gets to around 100 volts, neon lamp NE1 fires discharging C4 into the gate circuit of silicon control rectifier SCRl. The SCR1 turns on discharging C3 into the primary winding of trigger-pulse transformer TZ. Transformer TZ is another step-up, pulse-type unit providing an output of around 4 kW across transformer TZ's secondary winding. The xenon gas inside FX1 is ionized and a bright flash is emitted. Finally, C3 quicldy discharges through U, and the cycle repeats over, and over.

Circuit Notes The interface allows data to be saved on an ordinary tape recorder at a speed of 2400 bit/s. The serial stream of data Fig. 1 (A) is coded with a clock of 2400 Hz (B), by means of XOR gate IC 111. Logical "high" and "low" appear as shown in Fig. 2 (C). These impulses are lowered in amplitude and feed into the record input of a low cost tape recorder.

614

TAPE RECORDER INTERFACE, Continued.

During the playback, pulses (D) are amplified with CMOS gate IC 112 connected as a linear amplifier, and providing a TTL level signal shown in (E). On both positive and negative transitions IC 114 forms short pulses as shown in (F) (approx. 50 I's) that triggers one shot IC2. A monostable one shot pulse width is adjusted to be l4 of bit length (310 I's). A change from "high" to "low" in a coded stream generates a "low" pulse width of one bit cell. The same is for change from' 'low" to "high" that generates a "high" pulse of the same width. During this pulse one shot latches the state of line E inD type flip-flop IC3 (G). When a stream consists of multiple "ones" or "zeros," the one shot is retriggered before it comes to the end of the quasistable state and the state of the flip-flop remains unchanged. The original data stream is available at the output of the flip-flop (H). Z80 the DUART that receives these pulses is programmed so that the receiver clock is 16 times the data rate (38.4 kHz).

TAPE RECORDER POSITION INDICATOR/CONTROLLER

Fig. 97-2

Circuit Notes This circuit is representative of the many applications of up/down counting in monitoring dimensional position. In the tape recorder application, the LOAD REGISTER, EQUAL, and ZERO outputs are used to control the recorder. To make the recorder stop at a particular point on the tape, the register can be set with the stop at a particular point on the tape, the register can be set with the stop point and the EQUAL output used to stop the recorder either on fast forward, play or rewind. To make the recorder stop before the tape comes free of the reel onrewind, a leader should be used. Resetting the counter at the starting point of the tape, a few feet from the end of the leader, allows the ZERO output to be used to stop the recorder on rewind, leaving the leader on the reel. The 1 M ohm resistor and .0047 I'F capacitor on the COUNT INPUT provide a time constant of about 5 ms to debounce the reel switch. The Schmitt trigger on the COUNT INPUT of the ICM7217 squares up the signal before applying it to the counter. This technique may be used to debounce switchclosure inputs in other applications.

Circuit Notes The circuit can be used in telephone lines for speech activity detection purposes. This detection is very useful in the case of half-duplex conversation between two stations, in the case of simultaneous transmission of voice and data over the same pair of cables by the method of interspersion data on voice traffic, and also in echo suppressor devices. The circuit consists of a class-A amplifier in order to amplify the weak analog signals (in the range 25-400 mW of an analog telephone line). The IC! is connected as a retriggerable monostable multivibrator with the Tr2 discharging the timing capacitor C3, if the pulse train reaches the trigger input 2 of IC! with period less than the time: Thigh

= 1.1 (R3 C3)

The output 3 of ICl is active ON when an analog or digital signal is presented at the output and it drops to low level, Thigh seconds after the input signal has ceased to exist.

Circuit Notes IC-l and the associated circuitry form a stable audio tone generator that feeds a buffer amplifier, Ql and Q2. The tone output is taken from the emitters of the transistor pair to supply a carrier voltage for a balanced modulator made up of four diodes-Dl through D4-and T1 and T2. If the two transformers and the four diodes are perfectly matched (which is almost impossible to achieve and not necessary in any case) no carrier will appear at the input or output of T1 or T2. In a practiCal circuit, a sInall amount of unbalance will occur and produce a low-level carrier tone at the input and output of the balanced modulator. A telephone carbon mike and earpiece are connected to the low impedance winding of 'n, with a three volt battery supplying the necessary mike current. Trim potentiometer R4 is used to make a fine frequency adjustment of the oscillator so that two scrambler units may be synchronized to the same carrier frequency. Rg limits line current to 25 mA.

The heart of the circuit is ICI, General Instrument's AY-3-1350 melody-synthesizer IC. IC2 is a TCMl512 telephone ring detector IC that is powered by the telephone line. The circuit'!; operation begins when IC2 senses a ring pulse on the telephone line. The detector (internally) rectifies the ring signal and then outputs a voltage to relay RYl (an SPST reedtype relay with 5 volt contacts), causing its contacts to close. That pulls pin 12 (the ON/OFF control) of ICI low Oogic "0"), causing it to output a signal-the selected tune-to transistor amplifier Q2. The amplified signal is then fed to the speaker. The melody continues to play either until the tune is finished (at which time !Cl returns to the standby mode), or until someone takes the phone off the hook. Taking the phone off the hook discontinues the ring pulses to IC2, which opens RYl. When the relay contacts open, pin 12 of ICI goes high, returning the circuit to the standby mode to wait for the next incoming phone call.

Circuit Notes

Two integrated tone decoders, XR-567 units, can be connected (as shown in Fig. lA) to permit decoding of simultaneous or sequential tones. Both units must be on before an output is given. R1C1 and R'lC'l are chosen, respectively, for Tones 1 and 2. If sequential tones (1 followed by 2) are to be decoded, then C3 is made very large to delay turn-off of Unit 1 until Unit 2 has turned on and the NOR gate is activated. Note that the wrong sequence (2 followed by 1) will not provide an output since Unit 2 will turn off before Unit 1 comes on. Figure 1B shows a circuit variation which eliminates the NOR gate. The output is taken from Unit 2, but the Unit 2 output stage is biased off by R2 and CR1 until activated by Tone 1. A further variation is givenin Fig. 1C. Here, Unit 2 is turned on~by the Unit 1 output when Tone 1 appears, reducing the standby power to half. Thus, when Unit 2 is on, Tone 1 is or was present. If Tone 2 is now present, Unit 2 comes on also and an output is given. Since a transient output pulse may appear at Unit 1 turn-on, even if Tone 2 is not present, the load must be slow in response to avoid a false output due to Tone 1 alone. The XR-267 Dual Tone Decoder can replace two integrated tone decoders in this application.

Circuit Notes

The device is a dc switch that is normally on via the forward biasing of Ql via R3. Ql now clamps Q2 into a forward state by biasing its complement well into a saturated state via R4. The dc switch is turned off via a negative voltage above that of the zener (Dl). This voltage is usually about 48 and is the on-hook value of the phone line. This negative voltage overrides the effect of R3 and keeps the circuit "off." When the phone is off the hook, the 48 volts drops to 10 volts, that is below the zener voltage of Dl and R3 now turns the circuit on. The audio signal is via attenuator resistor RI and dc isolating capacitors Cl, C2. The device is a high impedance switch that isolates the recording controlled device from the phone line via some relatively simple electronic circuitry. It requires no battery and obtains power for operating via the remote jack that in most recorders is a source of 6 volts. When clamped to ground it initiates recorder operation. The unit interfaces with most portable cassette recorders providing they contain a remote control jack.

Circuit Notes

The diode rectifies the ringing signal to supply the operating power to the audio relaxation oscillator made up of L1, L2, RI, R2, and C. Moreover, L2 together with QI acts as an opto-isolator, totally isolating the telephone line from the rest of the circuit. The oscillator audio frequency is optically coupled to the photo-Darlington which drives Q2 and thus the speaker. The 10 I'F capacitor is not large enough to smooth the ringing ripple completely. This results in frequency modulation of the audio oscillator giving it an attention-getting warble.

Circuit Notes

The on-hook (no load) voltage across the red-green wires will be 48 V or slightly less when all telephones are on-hook (disconnected). When any telephone goes off-hook the load current flowing in the telephone causes the voltage to fall below 5 volts dc. Although the telephone hold is connected across the red-green wires, silicon control rectifier SCRl is open; so there is no current path across the telephone line. To hold the call, depress normally-open switch SI and hang up the telephone (still depressing S1). When the phone goes on-hook the red-green voltage jumps to 48 volts dc. Since switch SI is closed, a positive voltage is applied to SCRl's gate, which causes SCRl to conduct, thereby completing the circuit across the telephone line through Dl, LEDl, RI, and SCRl. The current that flows through those components also causes the L-ED to light up-indicating that the telephone line is being held. The effective load across the-red-green wires is the 1500 ohm value of RI, which is sufficient to seize the line while limiting the current through the LED to a safe value. When the telephone, or an extension, is once again placed off-hook the red-green voltage falls to 5 volts or less. But diode D1 has a normal voltage drop-called the breakover voltage-of 0.7 volts, and the LED has a forward drop of 2.0 volts. Excluding the voltage drop across RI there is a maximum of 2.3 volts available for SCRl, which is too low to maintain conduction; so SCRl automatically opens the hold circuit when any telephone goes off-hook.

(Capacitor Cl is necessary only when the circuit is used to drive a bell.) The lamp will flash off-andon at the ringing rate, which is normally around 20 Hz.

For the circuit to indicate an "in use" status for all phones on a single line, it must be connected in series with the phone line before, or ahead of all phones on the line. Since the power for the circuit is supplied by the phone company, a circuit could be added to each phone as an offhook indicator.

Circuit Notes

The MC340l2tone-ringer chip derive&its power by rectifying the ac ringing signal. That signal is normally at 20 Hz and measures between 70 and 130 volts rms. It uses that power for the tone generator and to drive the piezoelectric transducer. The sound that is produced is a warble that varies between two frequencies. fo/4 (fo - 4) fo/5. The clock. or fundamental. frequency. fo is generated by a relaxation oscillator. That oscillator has R2 and C2 as its frequency setting components providing a selectable range of 1 kHz to 10 kHz. Selecting different values for R2 andlor C2 changes the clock frequency. which in turn varies the warble frequencies. The MC34012 chip comes in three different warble rates at which the warble frequencies (.,14. .,15) are varied. These warble rates are fo/320. fo/640. or fo/160 and the different chips are designated as MC34012-1. -2. and -3. respectively. For example: with a 4.40 kHz oscillator frequency. the MC34012-1 produces 800 Hz and 1000 Hz tones with a 12.5 Hz warble rate. The MC34012-2 generates 1600 Hz and 2000 Hz tones with a similar 12.5 Hz warble frequency from an 8.0 kHz oscillator frequency. MC340l2-3 will produce 400 Hz and 500 Hz tones with a 12.5 warble rate from a 2.0kHz oscillator frequency.

Circuit Notes The circuit switches the current to an electrical heater on and off to maintain the temperature of a room at 25 O.5C. The temperature sensor is a thermistor which provides a differential input (for reduced noise) to an operational amplifier. A 5 kilohm potentiometer is used to adjust the set point through a voltage divider; a value of 2.17 kilohms yields the 25C setting. A second operational ampIilier is connected as an inverting differential-input comparator. The output of operational amplifier 2 controls the electrical heater through a zero-crossing solid-state relay. A transistor/transistor-logic (TIL) gate adjusts the output to the proper level for the relay. A thermal switch is placed in series with the heater and the ac supply for safety in case of thermal runaway. A third operational amplifier monitors the output of the thermistor, providing a signal to a computer for data logging.

Circuit Notes The circuit provides complete. linearized signal conditioning for a platinum RTD. This LTCI043 based circuit is considerably simpler than instrumentation or multi-amplifier based designs, and will operate form a single 5 V supply. Al serves as a voltage-controlled ground referred current source by differentially sensing the voltage across the 998 phm feedback resistor. The LTCl043 section which does this presents a single-ended signal to AI's negative input, closing a loop. The 2 k O.IJ'F combination sets amplifier roll-off well below the LTCl 043' s switching frequency and the configuration is stable. Because At's loop forces a fixed voltage across the 887 ohm resistor, the current through Rp is constant. At's operating point is primarily fixed by the 2.5 V LTl009 voltage reference.

Circuit Notes The "zero voltage switching" technique is widely used to modulate heating and similar types of ac loads where the time constant associated with the load (tens of seconds to minutes) is sufficiently long to allow smooth proportional modulation by time ratio control, using one complete cycle of the ac input voltage as the minimum switching movement. Despite its attractions, the traditional triac-based ZVS is virtually unusable for the control of very low power loads, especially from 220 volt ac inputs due to the triac's reluctance to latch-on into the near-zero instantaneous currents that flow through it and the load near the ac voltage zero crossover points. The circuit side-steps the latching problem by employing a pair of very sensitive low current reverse blocking thyristors (C106) connected in antiparallel; these are triggered by a simple thermistor modulated differential amplifier (Ql, Q2), with zero voltage logic furnished by an HllAAl ac input optocoupler. With the NTC thermistor TH calling for heat, transistor Ql is cut off and Q2 is on, which would normally provide mntinuous base drive to Q3, with consequent triggering of either SCR, or of SCR 2 via SCRl, depending on phasing of the ac input. Note that when the ac input voltage is positive with respect to SCR 2, SCR 1 is reverse biased and, in the presence of "gate" current from Q3, behaves as a remote base transistor, whose output provides via blocking diode CRI, positive gate trigger current for SCR 2. When the ac input polarity is reversed (SCR l's anode positive), SCR 1 behaves as a direct fired conventional thyristor. "Trigger" current to SCR I, however, is not continuous, even when TH is calling for heat and Q2 is delivering base current to Q3. In this situation, Q3 is inhibited from conduction by the clamping action of PCl, an HllAA photocoupler, except~during those brief instants when the ac input voltage is near zero and the coupler input diodes are deprived of current. Triggering of either SCR can occur only at ac voltage crossing points, and RFI-Iess operation results. The proportional control feature is injected via the positive feedback action of capacitor CM, which converts the differential amplifier Q1, Q2 into a simple multivibrator, whose duty cycle varies from one to 99 percent according to the resistance of TH. Zener diode Z1 is operational, being preferred when maximum immunity from ac voltage induced temperature drift is desired.

Circuil Notes The circuit can control up to 6 kW of heating, with moderate gain, using a 25-amp triac (SC260D). Feedback is provided by the negative temperature co-efficient (NTC) thermistor, which is mounted adjacent to the environment beingtemperatnre controlled. The temperature set potentiometer is initially adjusted to the desired heating level. As the thermistor becomes heated by the load, its resistance drops, phasing back the conduction angle of the triac, so the load voltage is reduced. The ST2 diac is used as a back-to-back zener diode. Its negative resistance region in its E-I characteristic provides a degree of line voltage stabilization. As the input line voltage increases, the diac triggers earlier in the cycle and, hence, the average charging voltage to the 0.1 ~ capacitor, decreases.

CIrcuit Notes This circuit is ideal for use as an over-under temperature monitor, where its dual output feature can be used to drive HIGH and LOW temperaturejndicator lamps, relays, etc. T1 is a 6.3 volt filament transformer whose secondary winding is connected inside a four arm bridge. When the bridge is balanced, ac output is zero, and C5 (or C7) receives no gate signal. If the bridge is unbalanced by raising or lowering the thermistor's ambient temperature, and ac voltage will appear across the SCR's gate cathode terminals. Depending in which sense the bridge is unbalanced, the positive gate voltage will be in phase with, or 180 out of phase with the ac supply. If the positive gate voltage is in phase, the SCR will deliver load current through diode CR1 to load (1), diode CR2 blocking current to load (2). Conversely, if positive gate voltage is 180 out of phase, diode CR2 will conduct and deliver power to load (2), CR1 being reverse biased under these conditions. With the component values shown, the circuit will respond to changes in temperature of approximately 12C. Substitution of other variableresistance sensors, such as cadmium sulfide light dependent resistors (LDR) or strain gauge elements, for the thermistor shown is permissible.

The second amplifier in IC1 is used to amplify the .2 V internal reference up to 2.73 V in order.to offset the 273 degrees below OC. The output voltage of the unit is the differential output of the two op amps and is thus equal to 0.01 V per C.

Circuit Notes
This thermometer is capable ofO.OI C accuracy over -50C to + I50C. A unique trim arrangement eliminates cumbersome trim interactions so that zero gain, and nonlinearity correction can be trimmed in one even trip. Extra op amps provide full Kelvin sensing on the sensor without adding drift and offset terms found in other designs. Al is configured as a Howland current pump, biasing the sensor with a fixed current. Resistors RZ, R3, R4 and R5 form a bridge driven into balance by AI. In balance, both inputs of A2 are at the same voltage. Since R6 = R7, Al draws equal currents from both legs of the bridge. Any loading of the R4/R5 leg by the sensor would unbalance the bridge; therefore, both bridge taps are given to the sensor open circuit voltage and no current is drawn.

THERMOCOUPLE-COLD JUNCTION NETWORK, GROUND POINT A, AND DRIVE LTC1052 POSITIVE INPUT

Fig. 101-1

Circuit Notes AI's positive input is biased by the thermocouple. AI's output drives a crude V F converter, comprised of the 74C04 inverters and associated components. Each V - F output pulse causes a fixed quantity of charge to be dispensed into the 1 I'F capacitor from the 100 pF capacitor via the LTl043 switch. The larger capacitor integrates the packets of charge, producing a dc voltage at AI's negative input. AI's output forces the V - F converter to run at whatever frequency is required to balance the amplifier's inputs. This feedback action eliminates drift and noulinearities in the V - F converter as an error item and the output frequency is solely a function of the dc conditions at AI's inputs. The 3300 pF capacitor forms a dominant response pole at AI, stabilizing the loop.

Circuit Notes This circuit has the CMOS IC doing double-duty performance. The first two inverters operate as a digital audio oscillator; the third operates as a low-gain linear audio amplifier. As the intensity of the light falling on photoresistor LD RI increases the oscillator's frequency increases; similarly, the illumination falling on photoresistor LD R2 determines the volume level from the loudspeaker: The more illumination the more volume. If you flop and wave your hands between the two photocells and a light source, a special kind of electronic music will be produced.

Circuit Notes The CD4069 or 74C04 hex inverter-is used aS1l fixed-frequency oscillator centered around 100 kHz. U2 contains the variable frequency oscillator and balanced modulator. The CD4046 is a phase-locked loop and R3, R4, and C2 determine the center frequency of the on-chip oscillator. The antenna forms a parallel capacitance with C2, which allows the frequency to be shifted several kilohertz by bringing a hand near the antenna. R4, the ZERO control, allows the variable oscillator to be set to the same frequency as the fixed oscillator. When the difference frequency is below 15 Hz, it is below the lower frequency limit of the ear. By setting both oscillators to the-same frequency, the Theremin remains silent until the performer brings his or her hand near the antenna. The oscillators are mixed by an exclusive OR gate inside the 4046. That gate acts as a digital balanced modulator, which produces the sum and difference frequencies. The output of the gate is then ac coupled by C3 to LEVEL control R5 and an output jack for connection to an audio amplifier or stereo receiver.

LINEAR TECHNOLOGY

Fig. 103-2

Circuit Notes The low output impedance of a closed loop op amp gives ideal line-noise immunity, while the op amp's offset voltage drift provides a temperature sensor. Using the opamp in this way requires no external components and has the additional advantages of a hermetic package and unit-to-unit mechanical uniformity if replacement is ever required. The op amp's offset drift is amplified to drive the meter by the LTCI052. The diode bridge connection allows either positive or negative op amp temperature sensor offsets to interface directly with the circuit. In this case, the circuit is arranged for a + 10C to +40C output, although other ranges are easily accommodated. To calibrate this circuit, subject the op amp sensor to a + 10C environment and adjust the 10C trim for an appropriate meter indication. Next, place the op amp sensor in a + 40C environment and trim the 40C adjustment for the proper reading. Repeat this procedure until both points are fixed. Once calibrated, this circuit will typically provide accuracy within 2 C, even in high noise environments.

Circuit Notes An inexpensive electronic thermometer is capable of measuring temperatures over

a range of from - 30F to + 120F. A diode-connected 2N3904 transistor used as the temperature sensor forms a voltage divider with RI. As temperature increases, the voltage drop across the transistor changes by approximately -1.166 millivolts-peroF. As a result, the current at pin 3 of IC1, a 741 op amp with a gain of 5, decreases as the temperature measured by the sensor increases. A second 741 op amp, IC2 is configured as an inverting amplifier. Resistors R5 and R6 calibrate the circuit. Calibration is also straightforward. When properly done, a temperature of - 30F will result in a meter reading of 0 milliamps, while a temperature of 120F will result in a meter reading of 1 milliamp. Divide the scale between those points into equal segments and mark the divisions with the appropriate corresponding temperatures. The calibration is completed by placing the sensor in an environment with a known temperature, such as an ice-point bath. Place the sensor in the bath and adjust R6 until you get the correct meter reading.

Circuit Notes Electrodes are immersed in an electrolyte that remains level while the sensor follows the tilt of the body on which it is placed, more of one outer electrode and less of the other are immersed and their resistances fall or rise, respectively. The resistance change causes a change in the output voltage of the bridge circuit. The sensor forms the two lower legs of the bridge, and two 1000 ohm metal film resistors and a 200 ohm ceremet balance potentiometer form the two upper legs. In preparation for use, the bridge is balanced by adjusting the balance potentiometer so that the bridge output voltage is zero when the sensor is level. The bridge input voltage (dc excitation) is adjusted to provide about 10 millivolts output per degree of slope, the polarity indicating the sense of the slope. This scaling factor allows the multimeter to read directly in degrees if the user makes a mental shift of the meter decimal point. The scaling-factor calibration is done at several angles to determine the curve of output voltage versus angle.

Circuit Notes The circuit lowers the effective peak current of the output PUT, Q2. By allowing the capacitor to charge with high gate voltage and periodically lowering gate voltage, when Ql fires, the timing resistor can be a value which supplies a much lower current than lp. The triggering requirement here is that minimum charge to trigger flow through the timing resistor during the period of the Ql oscillator. This is not capacitor size dependent, only capacitor leakage and stability dependent.

Circuit Notes The timer includes an oscillator and a counter in an integrated circuit. The timing interval equals the oscillator period multiplied by the number of cycles to be counted. The oscillator frequency depends upon resistor RS and capacitor CX. The number of oscillator cycles to be counted before the counter output changes state is determined by the selection of the counter output terminal. shown here as pin 3. The interval can be set anywhere in the range from fractions of a second to months; it is given by T ~ 0.55 Rs Cx2 n, where n is an integer determined by the counter-output selection. Operation is initiated by the closure of momentary switch Sl (or by a command signal having a similar effect). This grounds one side of relay Kl, thereby activating the relay

and causing the closure of the switches that supply power to the timer and to the load. The turn-on of VCC at the timer is coupled through Cl to the counter-reset terminal, thus resetting the counter. The initial reset voltage transient is then drained away through RI to permit normal operation. During the first half cycle of the counter operation, the counter output voltage <at pin 3 in this case) is low. This turns on transistor Q1 so that relay K1 latches on, enabling the timer to continue running even though switch SI has opened. The oscillator runs while the relay is on. When the number of oscillator cycles reaches the limit, the counter output voltage at pin 3 goes high. This turns off Q1, thereby turning off the relay and returning the system to the original "power-off" state to await the next starting command. The timing cycle can also be interrupted and the system turned off by opening normally-closed switch S2.

Circuit Notes The time circuit can provide a time delay of up to 20 minutes. The circuit is a standard relaxation oscillator with a FET current source in which resistor R1 is used to provide reverse bias on the gate-to-source of the JFET. This turns the JFET off and increases the charging time of Cl. Cl should be a low leakage capacitor such as a mylar type.

The ~240 may easily be configured as a programmable voltage controlled timer with a minimum number of external components. The modulation input (pin 12), which allows external adjustment of the input thresh()ld level. A variable voltage is applied from the arm of a 10 k ohm potentiometer connected from VCC to ground. A change in the modulation input voltage will result in a change in the time base oscillator frequency and the period of the time base output (TBO). The TBO has an open-collector output that

is connected to the regulator output via a 10 k ohm pull-up resistor. The output of the TBO drives the input to the 8-stage counter section. At start-up, a positive trigger pulse starts the TBO and sets all counter outputs to a low state. The binary outputs are open-collector stages that may be connected together to the 10 k ohm pull-up resistor to provide a "wired-OR" output function. This circuit may be used to generate 255 discrete time delays that are integer multiples of the time-base period. The total delay is the sum of the number of time-base periods, which is the binary sum of the Q outputs connected. Delays from 2001's to 0.223 s are possible with this configuration.

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 ofO.lI'F, the time base of the ICM7240 is one second. Thus, a time ofl-255 seconds can be progranuned by the microprocessor, and by varying R or C, longer or shorter time bases can be selected.

Circuit Notes The circuit uses an ICM7213 precision one minute/one second timebase generator using a 4.1943 MRz crystal for generating pulses counted by an ICM7217B. The thumbwheel switches allow a starting time to be entered into the counter for a presetcountdown 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, thereby 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.

Circuit Notes The circuit makes excellent use of the high slew rate, wide bandwidth, high input impedance, and high-output voltage capability of the CA3140 BiMOS op amp. The wideband gain of this circuit is equal to the ultimate boost or cut plus one, in this case a gain of eleven. For 20-dB boost or cut, input loading is essentially equhl to the resistance from terminal 3 to ground.

Circuit Notes The LM318 op amp is operated as a standard non-inverting amplifier. Resistor R1 (47 k ohm) provides an input path to ground for the bias current of the non-inverting input. The combination of R2 (560 ohm) and C2 (10 "F) provides a frequency toll-off below 30 Hz. At 30 Hz and above the gain is relatively flat at about 50 dB, set by the ratio R3/R2. R3 (200 k ohm) furnishes negative feedback from the output to the inverting input of the op amp. C3 (1.0 "F electrolytic) ac couples the preamp to the tone control section. The top half of the tone control section is the bass control. The bottom half controls the treble frequency response. These tone controls (R5 and R8) require audio taper (logarithmic) potentiometers. The 50 k ohm potentiometet on the output can be used to set the output or gain of the preamp .

Circuit Notes If a Touch On/Off Switch is desired, this circuit fills the bill. Two sensitive gate SCRs are interconnected, so that when one of the devices is turned on, the other (if on) is

forced off. That toggling effect gives an on/off circuit condition for each of the LEDs in the SCR-anode circuits. To turn LEDl on and LED2 off, simply touch the "A" terrninal, and to turn LEDl off and LED2 on, the "B" pick-up must be touched. It is possible to simultaneously touch both terminals, causing both SCRs to~turn on together. To reset the circuit to the normal one-on/one-off condition, momentarily interrupt the circuit's dc power source. Additional circuitry can be connected to the anode circuit of either or both SCRs to be controlled by the on/off function of the touch switch.

Circuit Notes The circuit is basically a NE555 monostable, the only major difference being its method of triggering. The trigger input is biased to a high value by the 22 M ohm resistor. When the contact plates are touched, the skin resistance of the operator will lower the overall impedance from pin 2 to ground. This action will reduce the voltage at the trigger input to below the 'h Vcc trigger threshold and the timer will start. The output pulse width will be T = 1.1 RI Cl, in this circuit about 5 seconds. A relay connected from pin 3 to ground instead of the LED and resistor could be used to perform a switching function.

Circuit Notes When someone touches the touchplate (TP), the resistance of his finger across points A and B is added in series to the combination of RI and R2, the capacitor C2 begins to charge. When the voltage across Cl is finally sufficient to fire NEl, Cl will begin to discharge. When NEl fires, it produces a short between its terminals. Since R3 is connected across Cl, they are effectively in series after NEl fires. A voltage spike will then be passed by C2 and this will act as a positive triggering pulse. The pulse is fed to both SCR gates: SCR2 conducts, thereby closing relay Kl. With a finger no longer on the touchplate, no more pulses are forthcoming because the Cl charge path is open. The next contact with the touchplate will produce a pulse which triggers SCRl. SCR2 is now off by capacitor C3 which was charged by current passing through R6 and SCR2. The firing of SCRl in this way places a negative voltage across SCR2 which momentarily drops the relay currentto a point below the holding current value of SCR2. (Holding current is the minimum current an SCR requires to remain in a conducting state once its gate voltage is removed.) With SCR2 turned off, the relay will open and SCRl will turn off due to the large resistance in series with its anode. Starved in this way SCRl turns off because of a forced lack of holding current.
