Diac-Triac Phase/Power Control without Hysteresis

Hysteresis in lamp dimmer or in other electric appliance might cause some trouble if you need a fine tuning, something like out of control. This is a circuit of Diac-Triac Phase/Power Control without Hysteresis. This circuit can eliminate the hysteresis effect. Here is the circuit: The initial condition of the timing capacitor is uniform because the (a) circuit reset timing […]

A/D Conversion with Voltage-to-Frequency Converter

To accomplish A/D conversion with V/F converter in a microcontroller system, there are two schemes that can be utilized. First, VIN is measured by counting the FOUT frequency for 1ms, 10ms, 100ms, or 1 second depending on the number of digits of resolution required. The final count is then directly proportional to VIN. (The microcontroller provides the time base) .Second, […]

Temperature Measurement (Sensing) and Monitoring

Temperature  measurement (sensing) and monitoring will be economical and straightforward if we apply the input of  TC9400 V/F converter with a voltage from output of a probe, such as shown in diagram below. The V/F output is simply counted to display the temperature. The TC9400 can be used to modulate an RF transmitter for a long distance data transmission. The […]

Proportional FLow Rate Controller

Process industries deal with various control systems, and fluid mass transfer control is one of them. We can use a TC9400 F/V converter to regulate the amount of liquid or gas flowing through a pipeline. A pulse train whose frequency is proportional to the rate of flow through it is generated by the flow rate detector. This frequency is converted […]
