Transmitter senses triple relative-humidity figures - 09/26/02 EDN Design Ideas: The circuit in Figure 1 is a triple, relative-humidity sensor and radio transmitter. Sensors 1 and 2 form two gated oscillators with natural frequencies of 10 and 5 kHz, respectively, at relative humidity of 50%. The gated oscillators use variable resistances R2 and R3, respectively. Together, these two oscillators generate FSK-modulated outputs at output of IC 1B, Pin 6 Design by Shyam Tiwari, Sensors Technology Ltd, Gwalior, India TRIAC Tester Allows for Manual or Automatic Operation - 20-Aug-09 EDN Design Ideas: Build a simple TRIAC tester with a switch or an automated tester with a microcontroller Design by Abel Raynus, Armatron International, Malden, MA
Triangle / Square wave Generator - Here is a simple triangle/squarewave generator using a common 1458 dual op-amp that can be used from very low frequencies to about 10 Khz. The time interval for one half cycle is about R*C and the outputs will supply about 10 milliamps of current. Triangle amplitude can be altered by adjusting the 47K resistor, and waveform offset can be removed by adding a capacitor in series with the output. __ Contact IQ Technologies

True RMS Watt Meter - This circuit will give you a good, Accurate Watt Meter that can measure various power levels.
in the Origional Article the Shunt was a .001 Ohm Copper Shunt giving a 1000 Watt Scale. However, because Most Circuit Breakers in homes are 15 Amps, I made my unit to have a range of Zero to 1500 Watts. __ Designed by G.L. Chemelec
TRUE RMS-TO-DC Adapter for DVM - The main differences between one of the application circuits in the AD737 data sheet are the addition of a MCP1702 micropower 3.3 volt regulator to split the power supply and two 11 volt zener diodes to prevent the voltage across the chip to become high enough to damage the chip in case the input is connected to an excessive voltage while in the 200 mv full scale setting. __

Logic Probe1 with Pulse - One of the most frustrating problems with experimenting is not be able to check the logic state of TTL or CMOS
ic's without the use of a triggered oscilloscope. The schematic diagram above shows a simple and inexpensive way of building a 'Logic Probe' yourself. it will provide you with three visible indicators; "Logic 1" (+, red led) , "Logic 0" (-, green led) , and "Pulse" (yellow led) __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR

Logic Probe2 - This circuit uses the four 2 input NOR gates contained within the 4001 CMOS
IC , and is primarily intended for testing CMOS
circuits. The probe derives its power from the supply of the circuit being tested. The first gate, N1, has its inputs tied together so that it operates as an inverter, and it is biased by R1 so that roughly half the supply potential appears at its output __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR

Logic Probe3 - A logic tester with an audible indicator can be handy when troubleshooting or testing a crowded circuit board. it allows you to keep your eyes on the circuit, rather than on a LED on the tester. The project described in this article is just such a tester. it provides an audible indication of the logic level of the signal presented to its input __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR
Turn D-Flip/Flop into a One Shot Circuit - Yes you can use cheap D flip/flop logic circuits as nice one-shot pulse generators.

Two diodes change Demagnetization-signal polarity - 04/12/01 EDN Design Ideas: Power-supply designers usually like flyback converters to operate in DCM (discontinuous-conduction mode) rather than in CCM (continuous-conduction mode). in DCM, the flyback converter is a first-order system at low frequencies, which eases the feedback-loop compensation. You can use a low-cost secondary rectifier, thanks to soft blocking conditions Design by Christophe Basso, On Semiconductor, Toulouse, Cedex, France
Two Sensors Measure Three Line Current - 09/01/95 EDN Design Ideas: An old technique updated for modern requirements allows you to measure all three line currents in a three-phase system. You perform this measurement using two current transformers (CTs) and three ammeters. The original technique appeared in Alternating-Current Machines by George Mueller (McGraw-Hill, 1952). The method works equally well with modern current sensors. Figs 1 and 2 illustrate the technique. Design by Henno Normet, Tavares, FL

Two-component metal Detector - The circuit shown must represent the limits of simplicity for a metal detector. it uses a single 4093 quad Schmitt NAND IC and a search coil -- and of course a switch and batteries. A lead from IC 1d pin 11 needs to be attached to a MW radio aerial, or should be wrapped around the radio. if the radio has a BFO switch, switch this ON. Since an inductor resists rapid changes in voltage (called reactance) , any change in the logic level at IC 1c pin 10 is delayed during transfer back to input pins 1 and 2. This is further delayed through propagation delays within the 4093 IC . This sets up a __ Designed by © Rev. Thomas Scarborough
