Note first the battery to be treated at the center of the figure. It is connected to contacts of a relay. The diagram shows the relay at rest. Under these conditions the battery is in SHOCK . His pole - is grounded and its positive pole to the circuit of constant current discharge. This circuit consists of N-channel MOSFET controlled by the TM2 IC2B OP amp. The input of this amp + e is at a potential adjustable by the digital potentiometer IC 4. The op amp will therefore act on the conduction of TM2 to pass in R17 to cause sufficient current to equal voltages and e + e-. It is understandable that by adjusting the voltage by e + IC4 is going to vary the intensity of discharge. The adjustable P4 allows the setting of the value of the intensity at the focus.

If it was left to bear the burden of TM2 only the discharge current, it heats up tremendously. In fact, if you release 12 V 2 A 24 W gives it! It would take a huge radiator! We have resolved the issue by inserting the resistors R13 to R15. These resistors are mounted outside the cabinet. These are models with 25 W radiator. The heat does not win inside the CD1. Moreover, it is possible for riders to easily choose 1, 2 or 3 resistors to accommodate the number of items to unload. Fig. 1
Now note the presence of IC3: this is our precision voltmeter! It is 12 bits, thus capable of 4096 points. We calibrate it to measure from 0 to 40.95 V at 1 / 100 of volts. This converter requires an external reference of 2.5 V. Z is the zener (TL431) which provides. The final calibration is done by P1. In discharge mode, the - batt is grounded by the relay, so the voltage measurement is not a problem.
Circuits IC4 and IC3 are SERIAL programming. So the ?C which will manage the mission of these two circuits. IC3 is a MAX1241 from MAXIM. IC4 is an AD8402 (10 k W ) ANALOG DEVICES. Readers interested in the functioning of these circuits may, as we did, download the files of these circuits on the Web sites of these manufacturers.
Now to the circuit CHARGE . It is located at the top left of the figure. For charging, the relay switches to work. Consider first the case of charging a...
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.....
