Infinite Resolution Frequency Multiplier/Divider
Normally, frequency multiplier or divider has only discrete ratio operation since it uses digital divider as the main process for division or multiplication. By first converting the incoming frequency into a proportional DC voltage, we can perform frequency scaling easily with no restriction of discrete ratio operation. Here is the block diagram the scheme: We …[Read More]
Single Cell Battery 1.5V 20dB Inverting Amplifier
Featuring very low power consumption, 675 nA is the total current consumption for this amplifier circuit. The output voltage swing is 300 mVpp with a 20 kΩ load. This very low power design is made possible by high gain low power operational amplifier CA3078. CA3037 is marked as obsolete product by Intersil, but they suggest ICL7611, ICL7612, …[Read More]
The reason why TC9400 V/F converter is very useful in the laboratory are because it’s portable, battery-operated, and low cost frequency source. Both pulse and square-wave outputs are provided by the TC9400. A triangular waveform can also be generated by adding an op-amp integrator. The outputs can be frequency-modulated via the FM input. [Circuit's schematic ...[Read More]
Pulse Delay Generator
This circuit is a Delayed Pulse Generator that is used to provide pulse rate and independent control of initial delay. The pulse generator of this circuit is IC1c which the operation is depended on the normally low O/P of the IC1a. The PB1 is used to make the circuit input goes low. When PB1 is …[Read More]
Analog Signal Transmission Through DC Supply Line
If the sensor system need an active supply, we can use only a single pair of cable to carry both the power supply and the output signal. Not only simplify the wiring, converting analog voltage level to frequency modulated pulse improve the noise immunity as well. Here is the schematic diagram of the system: The …[Read More]
Ultrasonic Measurement with Electrostatic Transducer
This is a Electrostatic transducer for ultrasonic measurement circuit. This circuit uses the LM1812 ultrasonic transceiver. Transducer x1 and LM1812 will transmit a burst of oscillations. Then the return echo is listened by using X1. The LM1812 detector will generate a pulse of the same width as the original burst when the X1 receive an …[Read More]
F/V Converter for Tachometer Bar Graph Display
We can construct a tachometer using the TC9400 in the F/V mode to convert the frequency information (RPM) into a linearly proportional voltage. Then we can compare this voltage to one of “n” comparators (on this example using 8). The respective LED lights up and will continue to stay lit as long as the voltage …[Read More]
