SWITCH_ON_DELAY_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/6/24 3:19:00 Author:May

When S1 is tumed on, a very small current flows through the load. Almost the entire supply volt-age appears across the SCR. When C1 changes up to the firing voltage of Q1 (approximately the standoff ratio of Q1 times VS, usually 0.4 to 0.6 VS) through R1, Q1 fires, tuming on SCR1. This deliv-ers full voltage to load, minus SCR drop (about 1.2 V). Notice that load current must exceed SCR holding current.   (View)

POLARITY_PROTECTOR

SHORT_CIRCUIT_PROTECTION_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/6/24 3:11:00 Author:May

When S1 is pressed, the coil of K1 is energized, closing its norrrtally open contacts. If the regulated dc input is between 1 and 24 V, that voltage feeds the base of Q1 through R1, turning on the transistor, and latching the relay. When that occurs, LED2 glows indicating that all is okay.If there is a short to ground at the circuit's output (i.e., in the device being powered), the voltage that feeds the base of Q1 goes to zero, turning off the transistor. Then, LED1 glows because K1 is de-energized to indicate the short circuit.   (View)

NOVEL_LOUDSPEAKER_COUPLING_CIRCUIT

Published:2009/6/24 3:11:00 Author:May

The ground side of the speaker is con-nected to the junction of two equal high value capacitors (1000 μF is typical) across the sup-ply. The amplifier output voltage will be VS/2, and so will the voltage across C1 (if C1 and C2 are equal); so as the supply voltage builds up, the dc voltage across the speaker will remain zero, eliminating the switch-on surge. C1 and C2 will also provide supply smoothing. The circuit is shown with the LM380, but could be applied to any amplifier circuit, providing that the dc voltage at the output is half the supply voltage.   (View)

8_DIGIT_100_MHz_FREQUENCY_PROBE

Published:2009/6/24 3:10:00 Author:May

Small enough to mount in a probe, this frequency counter circuit is good to 100 MHz. It operates from +5 to +15 Vdc. An 11C90 prescaler drives a 10-MHz counter chip (ICM7216B). Note the dotted line connecting R10 with pins 5 and 6 of IC2; that variable connection controls the decimal point and total count appearing on DSP1 and DSP2. The relative intensities and dura-tions of ON/OFF time for LED1 (green) and LED2 (red) give a rough indication of logic level and duty cycle.   (View)

LOW_OUTPUT_IMPEDANCE_MULTIPLEXER

Published:2009/6/24 3:08:00 Author:May

Both inputs are terminated in their characteristic impedance; 75Ω is typical for video applications. Because the output cables usually are terminated in their characteristic impedance, the gain is 0.5. Consequently, amplifiers U2A and U2B are configured in a gain of +2 to set the circuit gain at 1.R2 and R3 determine the amplifier gain; if a different gain is desired, R2 should be changed according to the equation G = (1 + R3/R2) R5, LCL1, and D1 make up an asymmetrical charge/discharge time circuit that configures U1 as a break-before-make switch to prevent both amplifiers from being ac-tive simultaneously. The multiplexer transition time is approximately 15μs with the component values shown.   (View)

POLARITY_GAIN_ADJUSTMENT

Published:2009/6/24 2:53:00 Author:May

By adjusting one potentiometer, this circuit's output can be varied from a positive-going version of the input signal, smoothly through zero output, then to a negative-going version of the input (see the figure). If the input signal is a positive pulse of, for example, +2-V peak, the output pulse amplitude can be smoothly varied from +2-V through ground (no output) to a -2-V peak. Taking a closer look at the setup, assume that the signal has a +2-V peak input. The A section of the quad op amp is an input buffer, op amp C provides a fixed negative-going output of -4-V peak, and op amp B supplies a positive-going output that varies from +2-V to +6-V peak. The D section adds the B and C outputs. Thus, by varying the B output, the circuit output varies smoothly from -2-V to +2-V peak. The circuit can, of course, also be used as a 0°/180° phase switcher. For instance, with a groundcentered sine-wave input of 4V p-p, the output varies from 4-V p-p in phase with the input, smoothly through 0 V, to 4V p-p 180° out of phase with the input.   (View)
