.. Tregre EDN Shortly after installation, the simple water-leak-detector circuit in this Design Idea saved the day and hundreds of dollars. The average life expectancy of a ...
.. step toward that goal. Figure 1. The inverting charge pump combines a pair of charge-pump ICs with a separate MOSFET-based detector/clock-doubler subcircuit, which in turn enables synchronization and enhances performance. The ...
.. tracking of the diodes within the dual-diode package. Average current consumption of the circuit, excluding the peak-detector op amp, is approximately 150 µA. The noise and stability of the 2.5 V supply that drives the ...
.. amplitude of the input signal. Comparator IC 1A together with analog switch IC 2B and capacitor C 1 form a positive peak detector. When the input signal rises above the voltage stored on C 1 at the comparator's inverting input, the ...
.. the output to change state. You set the threshold level with voltage divider R 6 and R 7 . D 1 , R 5 , and C 2 form a peak detector. R 5 establishes a time constant of the discharge of C 2 and provides sensitivity to a falling ...
.. amplifier with a gain of 30. The negative input of comparator IC4 is connected to the modified signal using the peak detector circuit. Components IC3, D1, and C6 are used to detect and hold the maximum voltage of the input signal. ...
.. oscillate. The current in the other arm of the quad is intercepted by R1, and results in a voltage appearing on the diode detector D6/D7, and the output J1. D7 is a peak detector compensated by D6. When a signal is detected, it ...
.. iron's temperature to the selected value. Most parts are not critical. A BC547 was used for Q1. U3 is an active peak-detector ( Reference 4 ), and U4 is connected as an inverting Schmitt trigger (ST) with trip thresholds at about ...
.. is shown outside the shaded area and works as follows. Monostable multivibrator IC3a and flip-flop IC2b form a simple rate detector which monitors the frequency of the signal at B. Faster rotation of the encoder increases the ...
