ADD_ON_TELEPHONE_HOLD_BUTTON

Published:2009/7/7 21:52:00 Author:May

A sensitive-gate SCR provides a line-holding current of 20 to 40 mA, depending on loop resistance. It also lights an LED to give the user a positive indication that the telephone line is on hold. The 20 to 40 mA should prove sufficient to hold the majority of lines, but it might require increasing-by decreasing the size of R1-in individual instances. When any receiver in the same loop is lifted, the low impedance of the offhook telephone set shunts holding current away from the SCR, thereby releasing the line and extinguishing the LED. Zener diode D2 ensures that the line-holding current drops below the SCR's minimum conduction current. If the calling party tires of waiting on hold and hangs up, the release of the central-office relays from the calling side also releases the line from the hold mode.   (View)

PARALLEL_TELEPHONE_CONNECTION

Published:2009/7/7 21:42:00 Author:May

When the handset is lifted and power is applied to the circuit, Q2 is fed base current through R2, which in tum drives Q1. C2 is charged via R3 in series with D1 to (VZ1 - 0.7) V. When the minimum operating VDD voltage is reached, power on reset occurs via the rc network of C1 and R8. Q2 is maintained in the on condition by G1, while Q3, and hence Q4, are held off by G2. The DF320 network appears in parallel with the telephone as an impedance more than 10 KΩ in the standby condition with the telephone network connected in circuit through Q1. On recognition of the first keyed digit, the DF320 clock is started. M1 then goes to logic 1 causing Q2 and Q1 to turn off, and Q3 and Q4 to turn on. Hence, the majority of the line loop current now flows through Q4 and Z1. When impulsing occurs, Q3 and Q4 are turned off by DP acting on G2. Line loop current is then reduced to approximately 50 μA taken through R2, R4, and G2 in series. When dialing in, complete M1 goes to logic O, causing the telephone network to be reconnected. The DF320 then returns to the static standby condition. If the line loop is interrupted by the cradle switch during dialing, impulsing will continue until C2 discharges to a voltage, such that R8 pulls CE to logic O, causing the DF320 to reset. The diode bridge protects the network from line polarity reversal.   (View)

4046 PLL connected as VCO is set at twice desired maximum rate for dice or roulette-wheel counters. Pressing spin button momentarily to start action charges 1-uF capacitor to sypply voltage and jumps VCO to highest frequency. Output frequency then decreases rapidly as capacitor is discharged by 10megohm resistor. Output is stopped by using retriggerable mono to drive other half of 4013 dual D flip-flop. When frequency drops below value at which monotimes out, mono resets flip-flop and holds it to stop display.-D. Lancaster, CMOS Cookbook, Howard W. Sams, Indianpolis, IN, 1977, p 252-254.   (View)

SUN_TRACKER

Published:2009/7/7 21:29:00 Author:May

In solar cell array applications and solar instrumentation, it is desirable to monitor the approximate position of the sun to allow efficient automatic alignment. The L14G1 lens can provide about 15° of accuracy in a simple level sensing circuit, and a full hemisphere can be monitored with about 150 phototransistors. The sun provides = 80 mW/cm2 to the L14G1 when on the centerline. This will keep the output down to≤0.5 V for θ≤7.5°. The sky provides ≈0.5 mW/cm2 to the L14G1 and will keep the output greater than 10 V when viewed. White clouds viewed from above can lower this voltage to ≈5 V on some devices. This circuit can directly drive TTL logic by using the 5-V supply and changing the load resistor to 430 Ω. Different bright objects can also be located with the same type of circuitry simply by adjusting the resistor values to provide the desired sensitivity.   (View)

SERIES_TELEPHONE_CONNECTION

Published:2009/7/7 21:21:00 Author:May

Here is a simple method of series connection into the telephone set suitable for PABX or short line applications. When the telephone handset is lifted, C1 is charged via Dl to (VZ1 - 0.7) V and DF320 power on reset occurs. When the first keyed digit is recognized, Ml goes to logic 1, muting the telephone network by switching on the low on resistance JFET Q1, and maximizing the line-loop current for impulsing. lmpulsing occurs through DP switching Q2, and hence Q3 turns off. Rapid discharge of C1 through Z1 is prevented during line break by blocking diode D1. When dialing is complete, the circuit returns to the static standby condition, and Q1 is switched off. The circuit reset, during a line interruption by the cradle switch, is for the parallel connection mode.   (View)

OPTICAL_SENSOR_TO_TTL_INTERFACE

Published:2009/7/7 21:17:00 Author:May

This circuit is designed to detect a low light level at the sensor, amplify the signal, and provide a TTL-level output. When the optical sensor detects low-level light, on condition, its output is small and must be amplified. An amp with very low input bias current and high input resistance must be used to detect the on condition. When sensor TlL406 is in the on condition, its output is assumed to be 250 nA (allowing a safety margin). This results in a 250-mV signal being applied to the noninverting input of amplifier OP-07.Because of the circuit configuration, the OP-07 provides a gain of 100 and its output is in positive saturation. The OP-07 output level is applied to a loading network that provides the basic TTL level.   (View)

SPEAKERPHONE

Published:2009/7/7 21:17:00 Author:May

This circuit consists of two audio channels, a control circuit, and a hybrid interface circuit. The gain of each audio channel is controlled by the control circuitry, with the use of a voltage controlled amplifier (VCA). The inputs to the control circuit are obtained from each of the audio channels. The hybrid interface circuit performs three important functions. First, it couples the Tx channel signal to the telephone line. Second, it couples the signal on the telephone line to the Rx channels. And, finally, it cancels a majority of the TX signal that can couple into the Rx channel. The amount of TX signal that appears on the RX channel is called sidetone.   (View)

LASER_DIODE_PULSERS

Published:2009/7/7 21:11:00 Author:May

The laser diode pulser is a simple drive circuit capable of driving the laser diode with 10-A, 20-ns pulses. For a 0.1% duty cycle, the repetition rate will be 50 kHz. A complementary emitter follower is used as a driver. Switching speed is determined by the fT of the bipolar transistors used and the impedance of the drive source. A faster drive circuit is shown. It can supply higher peak gate current to switch the IRF520 very quickly. This circuit uses a MOSPOWER totem-pole stage to drive the high power switch.The upper MOSFET is driven by a bootstrap circuit. Typical switching times for this circuit are about 10 ns for both turn-on and turn-off.   (View)
