INTRUDER_ALARM

Published:2009/7/12 22:21:00 Author:May

The circuit triggers a pulsed-tone alarm when anyone passes by, and several of these units can be scattered around the premises to give burglars the impression that they are being monitored! It is guaranteed to drive any burglar bananas. Two photodiodes, D1 and D2, are used as shown to ensure sensitivity over a very wide range of lightning conditions, though the circuit will be less effective in diffuse light. IC1 is connected as a differential amplifier. As thevoltage at pointA swings high, the response at pin 2 of IC1 is slowed by capacitor C1, and the voltage swings high at the output (pin 6). Capacitor C3 charges up and transistor TR1 level-shifts the signal to enable the oscillator section formed from IC2, a quad NAND Schmitt. The piezo disk X1 will pulse accordingly. C3 determines the duration of the pulsed tone and resistor R8 determines the pitch. Photodiodes D1 and D2 should be mounted a small distance apart for best effect. The circuit draws a mere 0.5 mA.   (View)

MAGNETRON_BEAM_SWITCHING

Published:2009/7/16 22:49:00 Author:Jessie

First trigger pulse switches beam to first position, and each succeeding trigger advances beam one position, until reset pulse zeroes V11 for repetition of switching sequence. Succeeding switching-circuit output pulses are thus time-coincident with succeeding amplitude portions of input signal, for pulse amplitude measurement.-J. F. Lyons, Jr., Analyzing Multipath Delay in Communications Studies, Electronics, 32:36, p 52-55.   (View)

FEEDBACK_CONTROL_FOR_MAX253

Published:2009/7/16 22:42:00 Author:Jessie

The MAX253 and associated 76253 transformers were designed to allow easy implementation of simple dc-to-dc converter circuits. The main problem with the basic circuit is that there is no feed-back, resulting in no control over the output voltage at light loads. When transformer isolators designed for 1-W power levels are used, output voltages can be observed rising above 5.5 V at less than 20-percent load. The circuit provides feedback control from the output via an optoisolator and voltage-reference device in a single pack (TPS5094). This results in an output voltage that is static at light loads. The circuit uses the internal TL431 reference devices of the TPS5904 to set a value at which the optoisolator is switched (Vref = 2.51 V). Using two 4.7-kΩ resistors (R5 and R6) gives an ideal output voltage of 5 V; with only 500μA of drain current, the measured value was 4.95 V. The output of the optoisolator then controls the shutdown pin (SD) on the MAX253, via the ZTX451 buffer transistor, and switches the device off when the output voltage exceeds the predefined value. Therefore, the circuit works in a burst mode at light loads, with the switching being turned on and off as necessary. As the load increases, the device eventually reaches the stage where switching is occurring all the time.   (View)

CUT_PHONE_LINE_ALARM

Published:2009/7/12 22:16:00 Author:May

The figure shows the schematic diagram of the phone line monitor. Note that 12-Vdc power is connected to the unit via solder pads C (positive) and G(ground) on the PC board. This power should be supplied from your home security system, since it will have battery backup, and this will be as reliable as your base security system. The input from the telephone line is fed to pads A and B. Polarity is not important to the monitor because the input is rectified by the full-wave bridge rectifer formed by diodes D3 to D6. Connecting the phone line to the phone line monitor in no way diminishes phone senrtce', and its presence on the line will be unnoticed by you and those who call you. The rectified or polarized voltage from the bridge rectifier is fed to a long-time-constant filter formed by R2 and C1. This filter includes a zener diode (D2) that limits the voltage maximum charge on C1 to 12 V during normal operation. Resistor R3 provides a high-resistance shorting path to drain the charge from C1 when there is no input voltage. This resistor sets the time delay for activating the alarm. The trigger voltage for comparator IC1-a is generated by R1 and D1. Diode Dl is a 5.1-V zener whose output is fed to the inverting input (pin 4) of IC1-a. With the inverting input at 5.1 V, any voltage above 5.1 Y on the noninverting input (pin 5) will cause the output of the comparator to go high. Since the output of IC1 is tied to the relay coil of RY1 and the other end of the relay is tied to +12 Vdc, the relay coil is not energized. When the voltage from the input filter drops below 5.1 V, the out-put of IC1-a goes low and energizes the relay. The contacts of RY1 (either the normally open set or the normally closed set) could also be used to trigger the home's security system.   (View)

SCSI_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/12 21:51:00 Author:May

The SCSI switch consists of an eight-position DIP switch, about 24 inches of ribbon cable, and eight female header blocks. A schematic of the switch is shown. The header blocks plug onto the ID pins of the SCSI hard disks. Through the DIP switch, those IDs can be reassigned at will. In any given configuration, whichever physical drive has the lowest SCSI ID becomes the boot drive. The others are allocated in order by SCSI ID.   (View)

COMPUTER_SERIAL_PORT_RELAY_CONTROLLER

Published:2009/7/12 21:03:00 Author:May

Decoding RS-232 signais is a job for a microcontroller (single-chip computer). Fortunately, you don't have to program the microcontroller yourself; you can get a PIC 16C54A microcontroller already programmed for exactly this job from Stone Mountain Instruments. Shown is the circuit and the BASIC program to demonstrate how it works. Each SMI101B has eight logic-level outputs.Further, you can connect up to seven SMI101Bs to a single serial port. The three N pins give each SMI101B a distinctive identifying number, from 0 to 6. If all three are grounded, the identifier is 0; if N1 is connected to +5 V, the identifier is 1, etc. At power-up, all the data outputs are off (logic 0). To turn an output on, send a command of the form xNy, where x is the identifier of the SMI101B and y indicates which data output you want to switch, To turn the outputs back off, use an F in place of an N (e.g., OF3). All communication is done with 8 data bits and no parity bits. The baud rate is 9600 baud with a 4-MHz crystal, or 1200 baud with a 500-kHz ceramic resonator. As shown in the diagram, each relay requires a transistor to drive it, along with a resistor and a protective diode. To cut down the total number of components, you can use a relay driver chip, such as the Allegro UDN2987, which contains everything necessary to drive eight small relays from logic-level signals.   (View)

DIGITAL_VOLUME_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/12 20:37:00 Author:May

The heart of the digitally operated volume control is IC2, a 4067 16-channel analog multiplexer. Depending on the logic state on pins A, B, C, and D of the multiplexer, one of its 16 inputs or outputs is connected to pin 1, which is the wiper of the control. Because a 1-kΩ resistor has been connected between each input and output, the multiplexer can be considered a linear potentiometer with 16 fixed steps. Its overall resistance is 15 kΩ. It is, of course, possible to use a different value for each of the resistors to obtain a different characteristic. The setting of the potentiometer is controlled by counter IC1. Dependent on the position of switch S1, the counter moves one step up or down when switch S1 is changed over. Circuits IC3A and IC3B debounce S2.A jump from 0000 to 1111 or the other way around is not possible, because further count pulses are suppressed with the aid of the CO line. This line is logic low when both the counter state and signal U/D are 0.When U/D is high and the counter state is 15, COagain becomes logic low. It is then necessary to reverse the logic state at U/D, and thus the direction of counting. The volume control draws a current of around 1 mA.   (View)

TRANSIENT_SWITCH_SIGNAL_SUPPRESSOR

Published:2009/7/17 2:30:00 Author:Jessie

The figure shows a circuit that delays the transmission of a switch-opening or switch-closing signal until after a preset suppression time. The circuit is used to prevent the transmission of an undesired momentary switch signal. For example, a pressure switch that is meant to be held steadily on or off by a given static pressure in a piping system can also be actuated momentarily by a transient overpressure (sometimes called water hammef') or underpressure caused by the sudden closure or opening of a valve. The basic mode of operation is simple. The beginning of the switch signal initiates a timing sequence. If the switch signal persists after the preset suppression time, then this circuit transmits the switch signal to the external circuitry. If the switch signal is no longer present after the suppression time, then the switch signal is deemed to be transient, and this circuit does not pass the signal on to the external circuitry. From the perspective of the external circuitry, it is as though there were no transient switch signal. The suppression time is preset at a value large enough to allow for the damping of the underlying pressure wave or other mechanical transient.   (View)
