SWEEP_FOR_SSTV__MONITOR

Published:2009/7/15 4:59:00 Author:Jessie

Uses two 555 timers. one as oscillator and other as linear sawtooth generator，Adjust R4 so oscillator period is slightly longer than interval between sync pulses. When sync is lost. oscillator runs very close to correct frequency and locks in again instantly on first good sync pulse. Circuit also has pulse stretcher, along with lamp driver that operates from horizontal sync pulses for use as tuning indicator,－R,L, Anderson. 555 Timer Sweep Circuit for SSTV 73 Magazine， May1976, p 134－136.   (View)

LINEAR_TRUE_MEAN_SQUARE_TEMPERATURE_CONTROLLER

Published:2009/7/14 4:14:00 Author:May

The power-control circuit shown outputs true-mean-square power in direct proportion to a 4- to 20-mA current-loop control input. The delivered power is tightly regulated, thus canceling line-voltage variations. In addition, it is proportioned on a fast 8.33-ms timebase, which avoids thermal ripple. The circuit operates as follows: 4- to 20-mA control inputs are converted by A3 and Q5 to negative 20 to 100μA (I1). I5 (fixed at±20 μA) zero-corrects I1, and the 0- to 80-μA difference is applied to the summing point of the A1 integrator. A4 compares the accumulated integral to a 2.5-V reference tapped from the ADJUST terminal of VR1 and, when the integral rises above that, it turns on the 3043 triac trigger optocouplen Zero-cross switching of the Q8 triac minimizes generated noise. Ac half-cycles through Q8 heat RI and push load-monitor current I2 through LED E2. To balance the resulting Q7 photocurrent, A2 produces I3, which causes matching conduction in the E1/Q6 optocoupler. Close tracking between sections of the 2501-2 dual optocoupler assures good proportionalitybetween I2 and I3 Because I3 also biases series-connected Q2 and Q3, voltage applied to the base of Q4 will be 2[X log (Y×I2)+Z], where X and Z are constants common to all five transistors in the 3046 monolithic array, and Y is set by the Fullscale Cal pot. As a result, antilog transistor Q4's emitter current is closely given by (Y ×12)2/I6. When integrated by A1, it gives an accurate prediction of the true-mean-square power dissipated in R1. The resulting feed-back loop acts to adjust Q8's duty cycle to regulate R1 power, allowing the temperature controller to accurately and linearly track the 4- to 20-mA control input signal. Operating power for the circuit is developed from the 4- to 20-rnA loop current, eliminating any need for another power source.   (View)

SINGLE_SUPPLY_LINE_DRIVER

Published:2009/7/15 4:53:00 Author:Jessie

Motorola MC75451P driver and external components shown provide differential signal for twisted-pair transmission line from single +5 V supply. External gate provides required input phase reversal to gate G2 of IC. Each output ofIC varies between 0.5 V and 3.6 V, so net differential voltage driven into line is about 6 V. Only receiver end of line is terminated in its characteristic impedance, since arrangement is intended only for point-to-point transmission. -T.

VOLTAGE_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/14 4:09:00 Author:May

Improved voltage-con-trolled current source uses complementary transistors in opamp feedback loop. Common-mode voltage at input to opamp is always near zero. Circuit was designed for use in integrator having ground-referenced integrating capacitor, to produce 1 mA/V. R3a and R3b sense current through Q1 and Q2 so voltage proportional to difference is fed back to input of opamp for comparison with input voltage. Zener voltages determine quiescent-current level. Frequency response is limited to 1 MHz by performance of specified opamp.-P. T. Skelly, Voltage-Con-trolled Current Source, EDN/EEE Magazine, Aug. 1, 1971, p 45-46.   (View)

BIAS_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/14 4:01:00 Author:May

Automatic electronic bias switching improves efficiency of negatively biased linear class B RF power amplifier such as Heath SB-200 because no power is dissipated under no-signal conditions. Transistors are chosen to withstand maximum negative voltages switched, about -150 VDC. Capacitor across collector-base junction of Q1 can be adjusted to reduce turn-on time of switch. With no RE drive from transmitter, amplifier is biased to cutoff and plate current is zero. Switch will operate at RF threshold of about 2 V and apply class B bias voltage to amplifier. As RF drive is increased, plate current increases. With transmitter in SSB mode, plate current is zero with no speech. For speech, plate current increases with RF driving voltage.-F. E.

150_W_SWITCH_MODE

Published:2009/7/14 3:47:00 Author:May

Unregulated DC voltage is applied to power Darlington Q1 serving as switch that chops voltage so rectangular waveform is applied to RLC output filter. Average voltage to filter depends on duty cycle of switch. 555 timer operates in mono MVBR mode as pulse generator and pulse-duration modulator. R24 applies varying voltage to pin 5 to modulate pulse duration linearly with respect to applied voltage, Actions of O1, Q2, and Q6 maintain constant 3.6 V at arm of control pot. Q4 and Q5 provide 20-kHz clock pulse, above audible range. Overcurrent protection of transistors is provided by R11, SCR, and Q3. Adjust R11 so SCR turns on and shuts down circuit when current through R11 reaches 8 A. Circuit must be reset manually after overload. Q7 and R10 load circuit to prevent oscillation at low output volt-age and light load.-R. J. Walker, A 150 Watt Switch-Mode Regulator, CQ, March 1977, p 40-43 and 74-75.   (View)

Packard HCPL-2602 optically coupled line receiver handles high data rates from shielded, twisted-pair, or coax cable fed by 745140 line driver, Reflections due to active termination do not affect performance. Peaking capacitor C and series resistor R can be added to achieve highest possible data rate. C should be as large as possible without preventing regulator in line receiver from turning off during negative excursions of input signal. Highest data rates are achieved by equalizing tPLH(propagation delay time to low output level) and tPHL (propagation delay time to high output level).- Optoelectronics Designer's Catalog 1977, Hewlett-Packard, Palo Alto, CA, 1977, p 158-159.   (View)
