Figure 1 illustrates the simplified block diagram of a typical high-speed data converter system. The system consists of a bandpass filter, ADC, high-frequency clock, high-speed storage device, and post processing unit. Aside from the MAX104, the....
The design in Figure 1 is a visible optical link for those who need to see the transmitted data. An isolation figure of more than 5000V is a bonus. Tests of the system used the COM input of a data-acquisition system, as well as a standard PC`s COM port. The....
Another method that helps program development besides a dot LED as the output device is a serial bit. With a serial transmission to a terminal emulator program, developer may then test program running easier than a dot LED. One of my circuit uses PIC16F84....
The method in Figure 1a needs no access or knowledge of the communicating devices. A C program opens two COM ports and installs interrupt-service routines for IRQ4 and IRQ3. Upon the reception of an interrupt, the routine stores a byte in a common circular....
The circuit consists of two sections, one being a DC/DC
converter and the other being a pair of dual N-channel
MOSFETs and their associated high-side drivers that effectively
form a DPDT switch...
The rapid, widespread use of 3.3V logic circuits complicates
the selection of RS232 interface circuits. The optimum choice
of an interface circuit should be based upon several application
dependent factors:
1) Logic circuitry connected to interface chip....
The RS232 transceiver supports both RS232 and EIA-562
standards, whereas the RS485 transceiver supports both
RS485 and RS422 standards. The logic input (MODE) selects
between RS232 and RS485 modes. With three additional
control logic inputs (RXEN, DXEN....
While the normal PC hardware might well run with just Tx, Rx and Ground connected, most driver software will wait forever for one of the handshaking lines to go to the correct level. Depending on the signal state it might sometimes work, other times it might....
A state-of-the-art silicon temperature sensor like MAX6577 measures a remote temperature far from
the host system. The temperature sensor converts this temperature into a square wave with a
frequency proportional to the absolute temperature of its package,....
PBUS is an RS485-like multi-drop bus for interconnecting PIC and other microcontroller-driven devices. Protocol and software is written by Jap. Just include a separate pbus library file into your project and add your command handlers for the specific device....
Hand held computers are rapidly moving to 3V logic to save
power. Yet higher voltage buses are still utilized elsewhere in
the system for display driving and other functions. The
LT1330 is functionally equivalent to the LT1237 but operates
from 5V with a....
Medical and industrial applications often require galvanic isolation of 2500 V ac or higher for the safety of patients and equipment operators. The isolation barrier conveys not only power to the sensing element, but also data to or from that element. Each....
System Oscillator Crystal/Ceramic Oscillator. The following circuit combination of resistors, capacitors and inductors depicts an equivalent cir- cuit for a crystal or ceramic Oscillator ..
The TS4962 is a differential class-D BTL power Amplifier It is able to drive up to 2. 2W into a 4, load and 1. 4W into a 8, load at 5V. It achieves outstanding efficiency (88% typ. ) compared to standard AB-class Audio amps. By STMicroelectronics ..
UTC7642 is suitable for low voltage portable Radio cassette system and other Wireless AM system. The package of UTC7642 is TO-92. By LianShun Electronics Co. , Ltd ..
The HS-3182 is a monolithic dielectrically isolated bipolar differential line driver designed to meet the specifications of ARINC 429. This Device is intended to be used with a companion chip, HS-3282 CMOS ARINC Bus Interface Circuit, which provides the data....
Overview: The MAX34446 data logger for power supplies can monitor voltages for overvoltage and undervoltage, as well as for overcurrent conditions and overtemperature conditions. The device constantly checks for userprogrammable thresholds; when th....
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.....
