TOUCH_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/7 5:38:00 Author:May

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 1/3 VCC trigger threshold and the timer will start. The output pulse width will be T = 1.1 R1C1, 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.   (View)

TOUCH_ON_OFF_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/7 5:36:00 Author:May

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 LED1 on and LED2 off, simply touch the A terminal, and to turn LED1 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.   (View)

MIKE_PREAMP_WITH_TONE_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/7 5:33:00 Author:May

The LM318 op amp is operated as a standard noninverting 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 μF) provides a frequency roll-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 μF 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 potentiometer on the output can be used to set the output or gain of the preamp.   (View)

se of μA776 opamps eliminates need for FET switches in time-division multiplexing and signal conditioning. Multiplex inputs S1-S2-S3 can be driven directly by TTL or DTL devices. Each amplifier is controlled by either supplying or denying its 70-μA master-bias input, thus turning it on or off. All stages have identical component values.-M. K.

Solid_state_time_delay

Published:2009/7/22 3:48:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit shows the basic UJT building block (Fig. 9-1), which is used to provide a time-delay function. The circuit is similar to that of Fig. 9-13, except that the mechanical relay is replaced by an SCR (which generally reduces circuit cost). When S1 is pushed, or when a positive-going pulse is applied at point A, SCR#2 turns on and SCR#1 is turned off by CC. With SCR#1 off, the supply voltage is applied to RE, and the circuit begins to time. After a period (determined by the setting of RE), the UJT fires and turns SCR#1 on and SCR#2 off. With the values shown, time delay can be varied from about 1 s to over 2 min.   (View)

Voltage_regulator_for_a_projection_lamp

Published:2009/7/22 3:43:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit shows the basic UJT building block (Fig. 9-1), which is used to regulate the voltage across a projection lamp to 100 V (±2%) for an input voltage between 105 and 250 V. This is done by indirectly sensing the light output of lamp L1 and applying the feedback signal to the firing circuit (Q1 and Q2), which controls the conduction angle of triac Q3. The reflector inside the lamp envelope glows red because of the filament heat. Because the reflector has a relatively large mass, the reflector cannot respond to the supply frequency, and the light output provides a form of integration. Photocell R2 is mounted at one end of a black tube, and the other end of the tube is directed at the reflector's back side. R3 and R4 set the lamp voltage to 100 Y when the line voltage is 105 and 250 V, respectively. This assures that the lamp voltage will be within the desired tolerance over the operating range of the input voltage. Some interaction occurs between R3 and R4, and the adjustment of each pot might have to be made several times. Because this is an rms voltage regulator, a true rms meter must be used to adjust the load voltages.   (View)

Basic_triac_switches

Published:2009/7/21 22:03:00 Author:Jessie

These circuits show triacs that are used to control a pure resistive load (of about 7 A) across an ac line. In Fig. 8-5A, gate current is supplied to the triac from the 10-V battery when S1 is closed. The triac tums on and remains on until S1 is opened. This cirquit switches at zero current, except for initial turn on, so S1 can be a very low-current switch (carring only triac gate current). The triac switch of Fig.8-5B has the same characteristics as Fig. 8-5A, except that the battery is eliminated. In the circuit of Fig. 8-5C, when S1 is in position 1, the triac receives no gate current and is nonconducting. With S1 in position 2, operation is the same as in Fig. 8-5B. With S1 in position 3, the triac receives gate current only on positive half-cycles, and power to the load is half-wave. Figure 8-5D shows ac control of the triac.   (View)
