Channel 0 of the Dual Voltage/Current Source (DVI) was used as the input. Input levels of +3V and +5V were used. Load current was the variable of interest we wanted to relate to the performance of the DVI. One DVI with a maximum of 300 mA and another with a maximum of 2000 mA were tested. The NDP7060 n-channel FET was used to switch in the low res

istor, and thus introduced high load current. When the gate voltage is sufficiently greater than the source voltage (minimum of 2 V as specified on the data sheet), the FET turns on and allows current to flow from the drain to the source. Intuitively, when the FET is off, no current is allowed to flow, and so the DVI only sees the high resistance, equivalent to having low current load. An external driver operated by a switch relay was used to turn the gate on and off. With load resistance and current changing, a voltage glitch of a given amplitude is expected. To minimize the effect of the glitch, the circuit is rewired to include a bypass capacitor attached in parallel with the load resistors. VisualATE and an ASL1000 were used to operate the DVI on slot 9. A simple C+ script was written to operate the channel and external driver to change the load resistance and current. Glitches were examined at instances were load current changed from low to high and high to low using an AC coupled probe on an oscilloscope. Tests were performed on both DVI boards with and without the bypass capacitor on two load current combinations. Voltage levels of +3V and +5V were used on the DVI-300 board to test input power effects. In the no capacitor tests, A and C along with E and G were given the same testing parameters of load current on different DVI boards, but the results turned out significantly different. The DVI-2000 board had glitches...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
