OVERLOAD_PROTECTION

Published:2009/7/21 10:09:00 Author:Jessie

Transistor Q4 in conventional series regulated power supply is protected against charging current of load capacitance C2 by sharp current-limiting-characteristic protection circuit that operates statically, without need for resetting, in preset range of from 50 to 250 ma, and provides instantaneous response when regulator transistor is overloaded. Line regulation is 0.001% and load regulation is 0.002%.-H. D. Ervin, Transistor Power Supply has Overload Protection, Electronics, 31:25, p 74-75.   (View)

MISSING_PULSE_DETECTOR

Published:2009/7/21 10:06:00 Author:Jessie

Turns on lamp if one of input pulses in continuous pulse input is missing. Pulses are very narrow (4 microsec wide) and 50 microsec apart for low duty cycle; Q1 and Q2 form pulse stretcher that increases widlh to about 40 microsec. In absence of stretched pulse, Q3 loses its bias and is turned on, making lamp light. -C. Gerston, Missing-Pulse Detector for Narrow Pulses, EEE, 12:8, p 72-74.   (View)
