ELECTROMETER_AMPLIFIER_WITH_OVERLOAD_PROTECTION

Published:2009/7/1 4:22:00 Author:May

The preamplifier is protected from excessive input signals of either polarity by the 2N5909 junction field-effect transistor. A nulling circuit makes it possible to set the preamplifier output voltage to zero at a ftxed low level (up to ±10-8A) of the input current. (This level is called the standing current and corresponds to the zero-signal level of the instrumentation.) The opposing (offset) current is generated in the 109 feedback resistor to buck the standing current. Different current ranges are reached by feeding the preamplifter output to low and high gain amplifter chains. To reduce noise, each chain includes a 1.5 Hz corner active filter.   (View)

SPEAKER_OVERLOAD_PROTECTOR

Published:2009/7/1 4:22:00 Author:May

The input to the circuit is taken from the amplifier's speaker-output terminals or jacks. If the right-channel signal is sufficiently large to charge C1 to a potential that is greater than the breakdown voltage of Q1's emitter, a voltage pulse will appear across R7. Similarly, if the left-channel signal is sufftciently large to charge C2 to a potential that is greater than the breakdown voltage of Q2's emitter, a pulse will appear across R7. The pulse across R7 triggers SCR1, a sensitive gate SCR (IGT less than 15 mA where IGT is the gate trigger-current), that latches in a conducting state and energizes RY1. The action of the relay will interrupt both speaker circuits, and the resulting silence should alert you to the problem. Cut back the volume on your amplifier, then press and release S1 to reset the circuit and restore normal operation. The circuit can be adjusted to trip at any level from 15 to 150 watts RMS. To calibrate, deliberately feed an excessive signal to the right input of the speaker protector and adjust R3 until RY1 energizes. Do the same with the left channel, this time adjusting R4. The circuit is now calibrated and ready for use.   (View)

Push-pull switch handles up to 10 amp with rise time of 50 microsec. Rising d-c voltage at input produces no output until predetermined level is reached, when power supply voltage is suddenly switched across load. Circuit remains locked in until input voltage drops below trip level. Trip voltage is determined largely by breakdown voltage of 1N437 zener diode.-D. L.

Bank of 111 spark gaps switches 30 kV in less thon 10 millimicrosec, to explode wire for generating plasma in shock tube or generating hypersonic waves in wind tunnel. Jitter problem is solved by using one spark gap to trigger another. Thyratron V1 fires section 1 having single gap, and this triggers 10 gaps in section 2, each of which in turn triggers 10 gaps in section 3.-H. B.

SIMPLE_24_h_CLOCK

Published:2009/7/1 3:29:00 Author:May

Use of 60-Hz power frequency as time base simplifies design while still giving Iong-term accuracy comparable to that of crystal time base. Four-digit display uses Hewlett-Packard 5082-7340 displays requiring only simple four-Iine BCD input. National MM5312N IC divides Iine frequency down to one pulse per minute and advances its internal storage register at same rate. Output of register is in binary form at pins 1, 2, 3, and 24, synchronized with digit-enable outputs at pins 18, 19, 20, and 21. Binary data is thus applied to all four displays in parallel, with enable lines controlling data feed. SN7404N inverter converts binary output data to TTL level required by displays.Power supply provides +5 V and -12 V for ICs and 60-Hz reference for clock check. CR5 is Radio Shack 276-561, CR6 is 276-563, and CR1-4 are 276-1146.-K. Powell, 24-Hour Clock with Digital Readout and Line-Frequency Time Base, Ham Radio, March 1977, p 44-48   (View)
