INCUBATOR_MOTOR_CONTROLLER

Published:2009/7/17 4:17:00 Author:Jessie

The circuit has a 4060 CMOS long-period timer, which consists of an oscillator plus a series of binary counters that divide the frequency by 2, 4, 8, etc. up to 16,384. The oscillator runs at a comfortable 2 Hz (2 cycles per second), controlled by a capacitor and two resistors, and the binary counter divides this to produce a square wave that has only one cycle every 2 hours, as well as another one that oscillates twice as fast. The faster of the two square waves determines when the motor runs, and the slower one determines its direction. Here's how it's done: First, the faster square wave goes through a capacitor, resistor, and diode, which convert it into a narrow negative-going pulse that occurs once per hour. The 555, connected as a monostable, stretches the short pulse so that it is 10 s long (the length of time the motor should run). Logic gates then steer that pulse to one of two relays so that the motor runs either forward or backward, depending on which state the slow square wave is in at the time. Because the forward and reverse pulses are generated by the same 555 circuit, they are the same length-this is important so that the reverse cycle will exactly undo the motion of the forward cycle.   (View)

ABSOLUTE_TE_MPERATURE_SENSING

Published:2009/7/10 21:20:00 Author:May

Silicon temperature sensor (MTS102, MTS103, or MTS105) provides precise temperature-sensing accuracy over range of -40℃to +150℃. Sensor is essentially a transistor with base and collector leads connected together externally; baseemitter voltage drop then decreases linearly with temperature over operating range. Voltage change is amplified by two opamps in series, operating from regulated output of MC7812 regulator. Opamp types are not critical, With Q1 at known temperature, adjust 50K pot to give output voltage equal to TEMP x10 mV. Output voltage is then10 mV per degree in desired temperature scale.- Silicon Temperature Sensors, Motorola, Phoenix, AZ, 1978, DS 2536.   (View)

BOUNCE_FREE_AUTO_REPEAT_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/10 21:17:00 Author:May

This switch that keeps pulsing as long as it is pressed is often required. The circuit here used the well known Type 555 for this purpose. Its output is a TTL-compatible signal. Pin 5 of the timer has a potential of 67% of the supply voltage, UCC In the quiescent condition (switch not pressed), C1 charges via R2 and R3 to a voltage that is lower than that at pin 5, and thus is also lower than the toggle voltage.When the switch is pressed, C1 is rapidly charged via R1 to the toggle voltage, upon which the timer emits a pulse. At the same time, the capacitor is discharged again via R4. As long as the switch is pressed, the circuit functions as an astable toggle and produces pulses. When it is released, the capacitor cannot charge to the toggle voltage.   (View)

6_DIGIT_VALUES

Published:2009/7/10 21:14:00 Author:May

Digital capacitance meter provides display of capacitance values from 1 pF to 999999 pF (1.0μF). Start-measurement switch drains charge from capacitor under measurement and diverts constant-current source to ground. Capacitor begins charging,and counter accumulates 1-μs pulses from crystal clock. When capacitor charge voltage reaches threshold of countinhibit line for counter, contents of counter are displayed as capacitance value. Circuit uses Mostek MK50395N six-decade counter that provides ;-segment output data for display. Position A of SW1 is starting point B stores data in counter display after capacitor measurement, and C initiates measurement. Display includes leading-zero suppression.-J.

SIMPLE_LCD_DISPLAY_POWER_SUPPLY

Published:2009/7/10 21:12:00 Author:May

Laptop computers often use large-screen LCDs, which require a variable and a negative supply to ensure maximum contrast. This circuit operates from the system's positive battery supply and generates a digitally variable negative voltage to drive the display. This figure's switching regulator creates a negative voltage from the battery supply. The microproces-sor data bus drives a 4-bit DAC, which in turn varies the actual regulator output from -6.5 to -11.5 V. This arrangement allows a staircase of 16 possble voltages between these limits.the DAC by using the rail-to-rerail output-drive capability of a 74 HC-series CMOS gate. A resistor divider network formed by the 240-kΩ resistor, connected to the -V filter capadtor and the resistors, is refer-enced to the 5-V supply control (the MAX635 regulator). When the voltage at the VfB pin is greater than ground, the switching regulator turns on. The inductor dumps this energy into the -V filter capacitor. When the voltage at VFB is less than ground, the regulator skips a cycle. The MAX635 regulates the voltage at the junction of the resistor divider to 0 V. Thus, any resistor that the DAC connects to ground (logic 0) will not contribute any current to the ladder. Only the resistors that are at 5 V (logic 1) will be part of the voltage-divider equation.The entire switching-regulator supply draws less than 150 uA. You can place the circuit in an even lower power mode by interrupting the ground pin. The high-current path is from the battery input through the internal power PMOSFET to the external inductor. Disconnecting the ground connection simply dis-ables the gate drive to the FET and turns off the internal oscillator.   (View)

MECHANICALLY_CONTROLLED_BISTABLE

Published:2009/7/10 21:12:00 Author:May

Applications for this mechanically set and reset bistable are found, among others, in antitheft devices and model railway crossings.The transducers are formed by buzzer BZ1, which sets the bistable, and BZ2, which resets it. Their sensitivity is set with P1 and P2, respectively. The presets are adjusted correctly if the output of buffers IC1A and IC1B just toggles from high to low or vice versa.If all have been set correctly, a slight tap of BZ1 will set the bistable. This tap causes T1 to switch on, which enables, for instance, a relay to be energized. At the same time, D1 lights. A tap on BZ2 or on its mounting resets the bistable, whereupon D1 goes out and T1 is switched off.   (View)
