Lamp Dimmer Full Wave SCR (120 Volt AC) - The full wave phase control circuit below was found in a RCA power circuits book from 1969. The load is placed in series with the AC line and the four diodes provide a full wave rectified voltage to the anode of a SCR. Two small signal transistors are connected in a switch configuration so that when the voltage on the 2.2uF capacitor reaches about 8 volts, the transistors will switch on and discharge the capacitor through the SCR gate causing it to begin conducting. The time delay from the beginning of each half cycle to the point where the SCR switches on is controlled by the 50K resistor which adjusts the time required for the 2uF capacitor to charge to 8 volts. As the resistance is reduced, the time is reduced and the SCR will conduct earlier during each half cycle which applies a greater average voltage across the load. With the resistance set to minimum the SCR will trigger when the voltage rises to about 40 volts or 15 degrees into the cycle. __ Designed by Bill Bowden

Oscillator extends Schmitt triggers' reach - EDN Design Ideas: 01/19/95 Fig 1a shows input filters and Schmitt triggers wired to square up tachometer signals. However, given normal variations in IC lots and operating environments, Fig 1a's fixed-bias scheme (comprising RV and RG) stands little chance of holding the dc level at the Schmitt triggers' inputs anywhere near halfway between their thresholds. Because the strength of tachometer signals is proportional to speed, below a certain speed, this circuit does not respond properly to the resulting low-level signals.

Poor man's analog to digital converter (ADC) using a 2N222 transistor & a few passives - Years ago some of the then-old engineers working in the cost-completive area of consumer electronics told me, “if it can’t be done with a handful of resistors, caps, a 1N4148 diode and an MPS3904 or MPS2907 transistor, it ain’t worth doing. ” __ Designed by Dave Wissel @ Wave Technology
Resistor network extends Schmitt trigger's reach - 09/13/01 EDN Design Ideas: The circuit in Figure 1 shows a familiar technique for converting a low-level analog signal to digital form. Resistors R1 and R2 set the quiescent dc level at the Schmitt inverter's input to a value roughly equal to the midpoint of the hysteresis band. Capacitor C1 removes dc content from ViN, such that the Schmitt trigger's input signal, Vi, centers itself on the mid-hysteresis level Design by Anthony Smith, Scitech, Biddenham, UK

Schmitt trigger has dynamic threshold - 06/05/97 EDN Design Ideas: Schmitt triggers usually switch only at predefined static setpoints. For example, to allow user-defined setpoints, you can use a comparator in a standard hysteresis configuration (Figure 1). However, the design in Figure 2 allows dynamic setpoints, which are beneficial for variable-noise applications. This circuit is useful for rejecting noise that fluctuates in amplitude.

Thermostat for 1KW Space Heater SCR controlled - Below is a thermostat circuit I recently built to control a 1300 watt space heater. The heater element (not shown) is connected in series with two back to back 16 amp SCRs (not shown) which are controlled with a small pulse transformer. The pulse transformer has 3 identical windings, two of which are used to supply trigger pulses to the SCRs, and the third winding is connected to a PNP transistor pair that alternately supply pulses to the transformer at the beginning of each AC half cycle. The trigger pulses are applied to both SCRs near the beginning of each AC half cycle but only one conducts depending on the AC polarity. __ Designed by Bill Bowden
