The I2C serial bus is a popular two-wire bus lor small-area networks. I2C Clock and Data lines have open collector (or drain) outputs for each device-on the network. Only a single pull-up resistor is needed. With this arcliitecture, each device can talk on the network, rather than just listen. In some circumstances, it might be desirable to buffer these lines to expand the network, which can sometimes be a tricky task. The obvious approach (Fig. 1) wont work because it latches in either the higher or lower state. A circuit for a noninventory nonlatching buffer is also shown.The circuit is symmetrical about its center so that the input and output can be swapped. Ql and Q8 are the output open collector drivers. Q2, Q3, Q6, and Q7 provide the nonlatching functions.

The capacitors prevent switching glitches by ensuring the inhibit transistors turn off before the output transistors do.Operation can be best explained by example: if the input is high, Q4 turns off, and the voltage across R8 goes to zero. This turns off Ql arid Q8. The output then goes liigh, which is the circuit`s normal resting place. If the input is pulled low, Q4 is turned on.Diode D1 remains reverse-biased, preventing Q3 from turning off Q4. With Q4 on, current is supplied to both Q2 and Ql to turn them on, but Q2 turns on first to keep Ql off. This prevents the input from latching. Q4 also turns on Q8. D4 is now forward-biased, so Q6 turns on, and thus turns off Q5. With Q5 off, Q7 will not turn on. The output remains low. Even with both the input and the output externally driven low, the circuit will not latch. The circuit, using the values shown in Fig. 2, reached a clock rate of 80 kHz with a VOH of 5.0 V and a VOL of 0.5 V.
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.....
