THREE_CHIP_EKG_SIMULATOR

Published:2009/7/8 2:06:00 Author:May

Two 555s and a quad NAND-gate IC can simulate an electrocardiograph signal and a γ-wave radioisotope signal for applications in nuclear medicine. This circuit synchronizes the radioisotope signal to the EKG signal. You can use the circuit's outputs to test, for example, microprocessor-based software that calculates the left ventricular ejection fraction before you use the software in clinical applications. IC1, a 555 timer, provides a positive-going pulse train that simulates an EKG signal. A 10-KΩ potentiometer provides frequency adjustment. The other 555 timer, configured as a pulse-position modulator, provides the simulated γ-wave activity.   (View)

THERMOMETER_ADAPTER

Published:2009/7/8 2:04:00 Author:May

A simple op amp and silicon diode are the heart of the temperature-to-voltage converter that will permit you to use an ordinary voltmeter-either analog or digital-to measure temperature. User adjustments make it possible for a reading of either 10 mV or 100 mV to represent 1°F or C. Temperature sensor D1 is a 1N4148 silicon diode. It has a temperature coefficient of -2 mV/°C. U1, a 741 op amp, is connected as a differential amplifier. A voltage divider consisting of R3 and Zener diode D2 provides a 6.2 V reference voltage. D2 is shunted by potentiometer R4, so that the offset can be adjusted to align the output voltage with either the Celsius or Fahrenheit scale, as desired. Gain control R2 is adjusted so the output of the op amp is in the scale or voltage range of the meter being used. R4, the offset adjust control, is then adjusted so the output voltage represents either degrees F or C. The thermometer adapter can be calibrated by adjusting R4 while the probe sensor is at a known temperature.   (View)

OPTICAL_PICK_UP_TACHOMETER

Published:2009/7/8 2:00:00 Author:May

Remote, noncontact, measurement of the speed of rotating objects is the purpose of this simple circuit. Linearity and accuracy are extremely high and normally limited by the milliammeter used and the initial calibration. This circuit is configured to count the leading edge of light pulses and to ignore normal ambient light levels. It is designed for portable operation since the tachometer is not sensitive to supply voltage within the supply voltage tolerance. Full scale at the maximum sensitivity of the calibration resistance is read at about 300 light pulses per second. A digital voltmeter can be used, on the 100-mV full-scale range, in place of the milliammeter. Shunt its input with a 100-Ω resistor in parallel with a 100-μF capacitor. This rc network replaces the filtering supplied by the analog meter.   (View)

ROOM_HEATER_CONTROL

Published:2009/7/8 1:57:00 Author:May

Use of phase control for triac provides gradual reduction in heater load current as desired temperature is approached, eliminating large overshoots. R2 is adjusted so al is of at desired temperature, turning Q2 off and preventing firing of triac. If temperature decreases, resistance of sensor RT increases and transistors initiate firing of triac.If RT continues to increase, C1 charges faster and triac is triggered earlier in each half-cycle, delivering more power to load. Dashed Iines indicate alternate connections for controlling motor with constant load such as blower motor. For cooling applications, interchange FIT and R2.- Circuit Applications for the Triac, Motorola, Phoenix, AZ, 1971, AN-466, p 9.   (View)

IMPLANTABLE_INGESTIBLE_ELECTRONIC_THERMOMETER

Published:2009/7/8 1:55:00 Author:May

This oscillator circuit includes a quartz crystal that has a nominal resonant frequency of 262,144 Hz and is cut in the orientation that gives a large linear coefficient of frequency variation with the temperature.In this type of circuit, the oscillation frequency is controlled primarily by the crystal-as long as the gain-bandwidth product is at least four times the frequency. In this case, the chosen component values yield a gain-bandwidth product of 1 MHz. Inductor L1 can be made very small: 100 to 200 turns with a diameter of 0.18 in. (4.8 mm) and a length of 0.5 in. (12.7 mm). Although the figure shows two transistors in parallel, one could be used to reduce power consumption or three could be used to boost the output. The general oscillator circuit can be used to measure temperatures from -10 to + 140 °C. A unit made for use in the human body from about 30 to 40 °C operates at 262,144 ± 50 Hz with a frequency stability of 0.1 Hz and a temperature coefficient of 9 Hz/°C.   (View)

SOUND_LEVEL_METER

Published:2009/7/8 1:53:00 Author:May

Sounds are picked up by MIC1 and fed to the input of the first op amp. The signal is then fed to the input of second op amp U1b, where it is boosted again by a factor of between 1 and 33, depending upon the setting of range switch S1. With the range switch set in the A position, R6 is 1 KΩ and R7 is 33 KΩ, so that stage has a gain of 33.In the B position, the gain is 10Ω; in the C position, the gain is 22Ω; and in the D position the gain is 1 Ω. As the signal voltage fed to the input of U2 at pin 5 varies, one of ten LEDs will light to correspond with the input-voltage level. At the input's lowest operating level, U2 produces an output at pin 1, causing LED1 to light. The highest input level presented to the input of U2, about 1.2 V, causes LED10 to turn on.   (View)

LOW_DISSIPATION_SWITCH

Published:2009/7/8 1:53:00 Author:May

Logic-controlled power switch for 150-W instrument heater uses tap on heating element to force switch Q3, and driver Q2, into saturation and keep dissipation low. When input goes positive, Q1 turns on and drives Q2 and Q3 on. Collector current of Q2, and base drive of Q3 are determined by R2,. Voltage drop across R2 is proportional to supply voltage so drive for Q3 is at optimum level over wide voltage range,-M.

SIMPLE_CONTINUITY_TESTER

Published:2009/7/8 1:51:00 Author:May

The pitch of the tone is dependent upon the resistance under test. The tester will respond to resistances of hundreds of kilohms, yet it is possible to distinguish differences of just tens of ohms in low-resistance circuits. Q1 and Q2 form a multivibrator, the frequency of which is influenced by the resistance between the test points. The output stage, Q3 and Q4, will drive a small loudspeaker or a telephone earpiece. The unit is powered by a 3-V battery, and draws very little current when not in use.   (View)

TEMPERATURE_MEASURING_ADD_ON_FOR_DMM_DIGITAL_VOLTMETER

Published:2009/7/8 1:50:00 Author:May

The DVM-to-temperature adapter is built around a single IC, National's LM10. That micropower IC contains a stable 0.2 V reference, a reference amplifier and a general-purpose op amp. The circuit is designed for a linear temperature range of 0 to 100 °C (32 to 212 °F). The 0.2-V reference and reference amplifier provide a stable, fixed-excitation voltage to the Wheatstone bridge. The voltage is determined by a feedback network consisting of R1 through R6. Switch S2a configures the feedback to increase the voltage from 0.6 V on the Celsius range to 1.08 V on the Fahrenheit range. These differences compensate for the fact that one degree Fahrenheit produces a smaller resistance change than does one degree Celsius.Resistors R1 through R16 also form the fixed leg of the Wheatstone bridge, nulling the bridge output at zero degrees. Since 0 °C is different from 0 °F, S2b is used to select the appropriate offset.The LM10's op amp, along with R9 through R12, form a differential amplifier that boosts the bridge output to 10 mV per degree. Since a single supply is used, and since the output must be able to swing both positive and negative, the output is referenced to the bridge supply voltage, rather than to the common supply.   (View)
