Adaptive Schmitt trigger tames unruly signals - 08/12/13 EDN Design Ideas: Some biomedical, sensor, and other signals can be almost impossible to derive a clean trigger from. This circuit could help. in biomedical instrumentation (for example) , we're sometimes faced with very noisy or badly-behaved signals from which we need to derive information. in this example, I needed to "square up" a respiration signal, which can exhibit wide variations in amplitude and frequency, along with a wandering baseline. Presented here is an adaptive "super-Schmitt, " with many adjustable parameters, that did an extremely good job of taming the input signal. Design by Michael Dunn

AMI-to-NRZI-Direct-Conversion Tolerates Unequalized Pulse Tails - 03/06/08 EDN Design Ideas: Using a simple ECL Schmitt trigger, you can convert three-level AMi signals to NRZi. AMi (alternate-mark inversion) is a three-level—positive, zero, negative—copper-cable transmission code with the useful property of having no dc component for ease of ac coupling using capacitors or line-coupling transformers and a spectral peak at one-half the symbol rate. The zeros symbols transmit as 0V; the ones symbols transmit at half-unit intervals with alternating-line polarity to maintain the dc balance. Design by Glen Chenier

Circuit forms constant-current SCR - 02/01/01 EDN Design Ideas: A typical SCR (silicon-controlled rectifier) requires a trigger current, which causes the SCR structure to latch on. Once the device latches, the current through the SCR is solely a function of external component values. The SCR has no inherent ability to limit the current flow once it latches on. Current continues to flow, as long as the current exceeds a minimal value known as the holding current. The circuit in Figure 1 is similar to an SCR, because it also requires a trigger current to latch into its on state. Design by Robert Buono, Ringwood, NJ

Crow Bar #1 - Depending on the setting or R1, when the voltage exceeds a certain amount, SCR1 triggers, which activates relay RY1 and opens the circuit. S1 resets the SCR by interrupting power to it. This is a simple crow-bar circuit for low amperage protection, up to 4 amps at 30V max. Adjust the SCR for a model that suits your needs. __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR
Crow Bar #2 - This circuit can be added to any power supply design that does not have additional circuit protection. When the voltage exceeds either 10V or 30V, depending on the voltage switch setting via the front panel, the zener diode ZD1 conducts and fires the gate of the SCR. This provides a short-circuit over the output voltage and in turn will blow the AC input fuse of the power supply you wish to protect __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR |
