.. conduction into cutoff. An approximation of the square wave swinging from 0 to 12 V appears at Q 1 ’s drain. A peak detector circuit formed by D 1 , R 7 and C 4 provides sufficient dc voltage to force IC 1B ’s output to a ...
.. the voltage on R X (representing the DUT) with the voltage at the junction of R 3 and R 4 . Figure 1. This short-circuit detector uses little power, and provides low currents and voltages to avoid damage to the device under test. You ...
.. The most critical component is the PIN photodiode, whose selection often involves conflicting considerations. Detector sensitivity (the number of photons detected for a given radiation field), for example, depends on the ...
.. that prevents the system from working properly, causing severe air pollution. Figure 1. As shown, the dc high-voltage drop detector/undervoltage alarm uses an LED for a visible indication, but the LMC555/TLC555 can also be connected to a ...
.. multiplexing. In addition to this multiplexing, you can also use the disable function to configure the op amp as a phase detector or a frequency mixer. Figure 1 shows how the disable function can implement a low-frequency phase ...
.. accuracy. Since turn-on voltages range from 200 mV in germanium diodes to 700 mV in silicon diodes, a simple diode peak detector requires an input voltage of 2 to 7 V, respectively, to achieve a 10% error. You can improve resolution ...
.. NCP1421 remains enabled while the voltage on LBI/EN exceeds 1.2 V. When the voltage on LBI/EN falls below 1.2 V, the LBO-detector pin goes low, switching on Q 3 and supplying current to Q 1 ’s base. When Q 1 switches on, Q 2 ...
.. and generates two transient pulses in sequence with the half-monostables formed by NAND gates U 1D and U 2A . The edge detector formed by U 1D is triggered at the falling edge (Fig. 6) from the output pulse coming from NAND gate U 1A ...
.. (OC), a device which contains a light emitting diode (LED) and a photodiode (PD) in the same package. The PD acts as a detector, i.e. a photoelectric current generator, where the current through the PD is proportional to the light ...
