STEP_UP_DOWN_DC_DC_CONVERTER

Published:2009/7/7 5:27:00 Author:May

Positive output step-up and step-down dc-dc converters have a common limitation in that neither can handle input voltages that are both greater than or less than the output. For example, when converting a 12-V sealed lead/acid battery to a regulated + 12 V output, the battery voltage might vary from a high of 15 V down to 10V. By using a MAX641 to drive separate P- and N-channel MOSFETs, both ends of the inductor are switched to allow noninverting buck/boost operation. A second advantage of the circuit over most boostonly designs is that the output goes to 0 V when shutdown is activated. Inefficiency is a drawback because two MOSFETs and two diodes increase the losses in the charge and discharge path of the inductor. The circuit delivers + 12 V at 100 mA at 70 percent efficiency with an 8-V input.   (View)

ANALOG_SUMMING

Published:2009/7/7 5:24:00 Author:May

ON/OFF programming ofμA776 opamps allows any or all inputs to be on at given time. Switched outputs are combined in summing inverter A,. Voltage followers A1-A3 are programmed from on to off by Q1-Q3 and A5- A7. Noise gain of stage A4, is minimized when input channel is switched off. If sign inversion by A4, is undesirable, add inverter stage following A.. Any number of additional channels can be added. Programming pulses are applied to inputs of A,, A6, and A,.-W. G.

VOLTAGE_RATIO_TO_FREQUENCY_CONVERTER

Published:2009/7/7 5:21:00 Author:May

The circuit accents two positive-voltage inputs VN and VD and provides a TTL-compatible output pulse train whose repetition rate is Proportional to the ratio VN/VD. Full-scale output frequency is about 100 Hz,and linearity error is below 0.5 percent.The output F0 equals KVN/VD,where K=1/(4R2C1)provided R1=R3. Op amp ICIA alternately integrates VN/2 and - VN/2, producing a sawtooth cutou, that ramps between the VD level and ground.When transistor Q1 is on,for example, ICIA integrates -VN/2 until its Output equals VD. At that time, the IC1B comparator switches low, causing IClD's bistable output to go low, which turns off Q1. IClA's output then ramps in the negative direction. When the output reaches 0 V,the IC1C comparator switches,Q1 turns on,and the cycle repeats.Transistor Q2 converts the IC1D output to TTL-compatibl, output logic levels. Setting VD to 1.00 V yields a reciprocal voltage-to-frequency converter(Fo=KVN),and setting VN to 1.00 V yields a reciprocal voltage-to-frequency converter(Fo=KVD).   (View)

TWO_INPUT_FSK_MULTIPLEXER

Published:2009/7/7 5:15:00 Author:May

Uses Signetics NE571 or NE570 analog compandors. Gain of each channel is unity, as determined by RGAIN value for channel. When complementary control signals are provided, FSK generator switches between the two signal inputs. Outputs, when on, are summed by opamp in IC. Each channel is gated off by low control logic input. For FSK or alternate-channel ';'' C0N-TR0L A and CONTROL B signals should be com plementary. Control signal suppression is optimized with chopper null pot. Suppression is better than 60 dB after trimming. Circuit can also be used as summing switch, with both signals on at any given instant.-W. G. Jung, Gain Control IC for Audio Signal Processing, Ham Radio, July 1977, p 47-53.   (View)

10_V_TEMPERATURE_STABILIZED

Published:2009/7/7 5:10:00 Author:May

Self-regu lation of substrate temperature of CA3046 fivetransistor chip allows 10-V reference output voltage to rlse only 0.5 mV when temperature increases from 27 to 62℃ Circuit requires only single 15-V supply Zener-connected transistor Q2 and diode-connected transistor Q1 together provide temperature compensation by sensing voltage across Q1 (DS) and comparing it with temperature-reference voltage produced across R1 by μA741G opamp A1. Opamp drives Q5 to control current through Q4 which serves as chip heater. Opamp A2 (μA741G) and asso-ciated components (including Q1-Q2 in feedback path) act as self-regulating (zener-current) voltage reference.-M. J.

TRANSISTORS_FOR_DRIVER_TUBES

Published:2009/7/7 5:08:00 Author:May

Solidstate replacement for 12BY7A power amplifier runs much cooler than tube. Shield is required between input and output circuits. Gate 2 is biased very high and gate 1 is close to source voltage, to permit maximum signal range with-out changing parameters. Bypassed zener VR9 prevents 100-V collector signal swing from exceeding transistor breakdown voltage. Solidstate replacements for other tube types in Drake T-4XB transmitter are also given in arti-cle.-H. J. Sartori, Solid-Tubes-a New Life for Old Designs, 057, April 1977, p 45-50.   (View)

Three or more displays can be multiplexed simply by gating 7490 counter output via 7401, then using OR connection for outputs. 7401s are switched on in rotation by positive enable signal which also switches displays on in turn. If using common-cathode displays, segment and display enable signals must be inverted. With individual display units, segments must be paralleled.-G. A.

se of μA776 opamps eliminates need for FET switches in time-division multiplexing and signal conditioning. Multiplex inputs S1-S2-S3 can be driven directly by TTL or DTL devices. Each amplifier is controlled by either supplying or denying its 70-μA master-bias input, thus turning it on or off. All stages have identical component values.-M. K.

Solid_state_time_delay

Published:2009/7/22 3:48:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit shows the basic UJT building block (Fig. 9-1), which is used to provide a time-delay function. The circuit is similar to that of Fig. 9-13, except that the mechanical relay is replaced by an SCR (which generally reduces circuit cost). When S1 is pushed, or when a positive-going pulse is applied at point A, SCR#2 turns on and SCR#1 is turned off by CC. With SCR#1 off, the supply voltage is applied to RE, and the circuit begins to time. After a period (determined by the setting of RE), the UJT fires and turns SCR#1 on and SCR#2 off. With the values shown, time delay can be varied from about 1 s to over 2 min.   (View)

JFET_VFO

Published:2009/7/22 3:47:00 Author:Jessie

This circuit is a simple JFET-based, variable-frequency oscillator that can be used in receiver or transmitter circuits. The circuit is very stable; hence, if good-quality components and appropriate construction techniques are used, there will be very little drift in frequency. The component values listed in the table will give you a starting point to set up the oscillator to cover a desired frequency range. Inductor L1 is wound on a T50-6 toroidal core using #26 or #28 enamel-coated copper wire. The oscillator's frequency can be increased a small amount by removing a turn from the coil's winding; by the same token, the frequency can be decreased by adding a turn or two. After you have achieved the desired frequency range, cover the coil with a clear plastic coating or coil dope to keep the coil wires from moving around and causing the oscillator's frequency to shift.   (View)
