[ad-DAJ-FS-split.htm]
Automatic DC Motor Brake -  In many DC motor powered systems you would like the motor to quickly come to a full stop. This circuit provides an automatic electronic braking action to any DC motor ranging from 6v to 24v up to 1 amp of current.  Some of the component values could be changed for larger motors.... [Hobby Corner Circuit by Dave Johnson]
Automatic Gain Control AGC -  (electronic circuit added 7/03)
Automatic Incline Railway Circuit -  The drawings and photos below are for an operating incline railway that was built by the London Model Railroad Group for its 'O' scale model railway club located at London, Ontario, Canada.  This is a single car model loosely based on a double car incline that operated at Port Stanley, Ontario. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
Automatic latch-off circuit saves batteries -  4-Jan-07 Issue of EDN  Persistent latch prevents batteries from overdischarge.... [Design Idea by Kieran O'Malley, On Semiconductor, West Kingston, RI; Edited by Brad Thompson and Fran Granville]
Automatic Power Switch -  This circuit turns a “slave” device on when a “master” device is turned off or on depending on  state of S1. The circuit is designed to be reliably and solidly on or off. Some simpler slave switches can mistrigger or trigger partially,….[Designed by Andrew R. Morris (added 09/05)]
Automatic power-off circuit saves battery -  12/05/96 EDN-Design Ideas  You can use many techniques, such as using low-power ICs and low-power wait, stop, or sleep modes, to minimize power. The small, simple power-off circuit in Figure 1demonstrates yet another power-saving approach. The circuit and a simple program (Listing 1) can sense a �C system's lack of activity.... [Design Idea by Jose Carlos Cossio, Santander, Spain]
Automatic Pump Shut Off Circuit -  Put together an automatic system to switch off a pump when there is no more fluid left to pump…. [REUK - Renewable Energy UK website]
Automatic Speed Controller for Fans & Coolers -  During summer nights,  temperature is initially quite high. As time passes,  temperature starts dropping. Also, after a person falls asleep,  metabolic rate of one’s body decreases. Thus, initially  fan/cooler needs to be run at full speed. As time passes, one has to .…  (added 10/05)
Automatically turn secondary lamp on or off -  28-May-09 Issue of EDN  A transformer and a relay are all you need to automatically turn a spare lamp on or off.... [Design Idea by Vladimir Oleynik, Moscow, Russia]
Autonomous Fan Control for Processor Systems using the LM85 -  National Semiconductor Application Note  (app note added 6/06)
Auxiliary Power Supply & Wall-Plug Adaptor -  (application / block diagram added 6/07)
Avoiding Passive-Component Pitfalls -  AN-348 Analog Devices Application Note  (app note added 2/06)
AVR microcontroller makes improved motor-controller -  17-Oct-02 Issue of EDN  The circuit in Figure 1 provides a novel method of reading the pulse train using an Atmel (www.atmel.com] AVR processor, from a typical radio-controlled receiver, and to determine the velocity of a motor. To capture the pulse train from a typical receiver, you need an external interrupt that triggers based on a rising and a falling edge.... [Design Idea by Anthony Di Tommaso, Cranberry Township, PA, and George Simonoff, Petersburg, OH]
Back EMF PM Motor Speed Control -  Back-EMF refers to using the voltage generated by a spinning motor (EMF) to conclude the speed of the motor's rotation. This can be used in motion control algorithms to modulate the velocity or to compute the angular distance the motor has traveled over....
Bang Bang Thermostat is Simple & Efficient -  11/06/97 EDN-Design Ideas  Perhaps  simplest and oldest feedback loop is  nonproportional, all-or-nothing, "bang-bang" rmostat. Fully turning on a heater when  temperature is below setpoint and off when it's above setpoint is a straightforward example of a servomechanism. Yet, elementary and crude as servomechanisms are, examples surround.... [Design Idea by W Stephen Woodward, University of North Carolina--Chapel Hill]
Base Station Closed-Loop RF Power Control with LMV232 Crest-Factor Invariant Detector -  National Semiconductor Application Note  (app note added 6/06)
Basic Stamp I & PC Relay Controller -  This project shows you how to build a relay controller using the Basic Stamp I interfaced to the PC serial port.  The Visual Basic 5 software developed for the interface lets you interact with the Basic Stamp to turn ON/OFF up to (2) relays attached to the Basic Stamp I/O pins.  As shown below in the screen capture of PC-Relay, it's easy to select the desired com port using the drop-down menu....(electronic circuit added 4/05)
BASIC Stamp Thermoelectric Cooler 2 -  12/07/00 EDN-Design Ideas  PDF contains multiple circuits, scroll to find the one of interest....EDN is migrating links. This link is not verified.  Search the "title" + "EDN" for new link.
