SP.764, Practical Electronics

Dr. James A. Bales

Lecture 1: Course Introduction

Topics: 1) Resistors, and the voltage divider. 2) Voltage divider as a power supply. (Make 3 volts out of 5 volts with voltage divider.) Know when it is a good idea and when it is not. 3) Get intuitive sense of voltage divider. 4) Simple rules of thumb. 5) Diodes: Diodes are one of the fundamental building blocks of electrical circuits. Most common diode is the LED (Light Emitting Diode). Demos:

Red Light Emitting Diode (LED) The LED lens gathers the light and focuses it into a beam. If an LED is introduced in water, light disperses in every direction. Since the index of refraction of plastic is similar to that of water, the LED plastic casing doesn’t act as a lens anymore.

120-LED array.

The 120-LED array shown above has an intense cyan color with a broad angle of light. About 25-30 watts are being put into the apparatus. (The red LED was about a 10th of a watt.) Some LED arrays may appear to be more efficient (while consuming less power) than others. However, this is because a lens is used to concentrate the light, as opposed to the 120-LED array shown above that was designed to disperse light.

Always analyze extreme cases. 1) What if R1 goes to infinity? Output voltage is zero. 2) What if R1 goes to 0? Output voltage is equal to the input voltage. 3) What happens if R1=R2? Output voltage is half the input voltage. 4) What if R2 = 2R1? Two-thirds of input voltage. 5) R2 = 9R1? Nine-tenths of input voltage Note: A) VOUT is closest to the voltage at the other end of the lower-valued resistor. B) R1 ≈ R2, VOUT ≈ ½ VIN.

An easy to way to tell difference between the anode and the cathode is that electrons come from the cathode (i.e. CRT tube in a TV – cathode rays emitted hit the TV screen). Plot of I vs. V for Diode and Resistor

There are two diodes that will be used in class: •

Zener diodes: If you put a negative voltage across a Zener diode, it has a second turn-on point. The slope of the I-V curve of the second turn-on point is even more abrupt than the slope of the I-V curve of the first turn-on point. You can tail the breakdown voltage from a couple of volts to hundreds of volts. A Zener diode is used in reverse bias to clamp and hold the voltage. The name Zener diode comes from a Physics term called the Zener effect, which is not even related to the Zener diode at all. However, the Zener diode does exhibit the Avalanche effect.



Silicon diodes: These diodes do not emit light. Have same functionality as other diodes. Their forward voltages are really small (~0.6-0.7 volts).

Diodes don’t have resistance. If the voltage is below a diode’s forward voltage, then the element looks like an open circuit. If the voltage is below the forward voltage, the element behaves as a short circuit.

One gets VOUT = 2V when RL = 220 ohms. Now, try RL = 330 ohms. The voltage divider predicts VOUT = 2.5V. BUT the diode clamps at 2.0V! The diode will steal any necessary current to stay at 2V. The bigger RL is, the more current passes through the diode.

Capacitors: Water Analogy

Voltage Ù Pressure

Current Ù Volumetric Flow Rate

A capacitor is a bucket for charge! In the fluid system, voltage is equivalent to pressure. Current maps to the volumetric flow rate of water. Looking inside a pipe, one would say water is flowing at a rate of gallons per second. The water analogy is used because the easiest way to think about this is that the capacitor is a bucket for charge. That is, the capacitor can store charge and can release charge as needed.

The symbol for a capacitor is two metal plates (two pieces of metals separated by air. If a battery is added with voltage V0 and a switch, then current will flow if the switch is closed. How is I related to q? -

For a resistor, I = V/R. Since I is the flow rate of charge, then I = dq/dt.

-

For a capacitor, the amount of charge “q” on a plate obeys: q = CV. Therefore when the switch is closed, current starts flowing until q = CV0. Resistor

The switch starts at position 1, and at time t = 0, the switch goes instantaneously to position 2. Question: What is VCAP as a function of time?

Question: What factors contribute to the capacitance of a capacitor?

C =ε

d q = CV

If d becomes smaller, the capacitance goes up. Therefore, the capacitor can store more charge.

++++++++ Electric Field

E

E=

_________

VCAP d

For a given voltage, if one makes the separation d smaller, the electric field E increases. Why is this a problem? If the electric field gets too large, the insulator breaks down. A small spark will jump between plates and short the capacitor, which will not work anymore.

In summary, if V gets too large or d gets too small, the dielectric material will “breakdown” and destroy the capacitor. In some cases the capacitor “pops”, or may not act properly anymore. A capacitor is specified by: -

Capacitance value

-

Maximum voltage across capacitor

-

Polarized or non-polarized.

What is polarized? -

Polarized capacitors are marked with “+” lead and “-” lead.

-

If the positive and negative leads are connected the wrong way, the capacitor can blow up.

If one is working with high voltages, then one would want to keep electric field small by putting plates apart, but one would loose some capacitance. RC circuit review:

The current I(t) starts at peak value V0/R, and then drops off and dies out exponentially. The voltage across the capacitor VCAP(t) starts at 0, goes up rapidly, and asymptotically approaches V0. Time Response of RC circuits: RC circuits can do interesting things. Consider the following example: Problem: A square wave that goes between +/-Vo with period T is applied to the following RC circuit.

Hint: e-1 = 1/3

Solution:

Assume that the square wave signal has been “ON” for a long period of time. At least

one knows VCAP(t) will range between +V0 and –V0 (but will never reach those

voltages).

RC Filters: Swing analogy If one pushes a person sitting in a swing slowly, the person swings smoothly, so the swing works fine. However, if one starts pushing too many times per second, the swing barely moves at all. The performance of the swinging motion depends on the frequency at which the person is pushing the swing. Frequency is just the inverse of the period T,

2) Op Amp as a Comparator Op Amps: -

Op amps are semiconductor devices.

-

Op amps are mostly optimized to have high-speed or low-noise features.

-

Even though they are remarkably sophisticated circuits, they are really

easy to work with.

-

If you connect the power supply incorrectly, the op amp might blow up.

Comparator: -

Remarkably useful: Feed two voltages, and comparator compares them.

-

The comparator is heart of digital electronics because of its ability to decide whether a voltage is higher or lower than a threshold value.

Question 1: What is the output going to be?

+

∆V = IR = 1mA ×10kΩ = 10V

VA = 0

⇒ VOUT = −10V Question 2: If instead of 1V, the input is half a volt. -

You would get half the output.

Question 3: What about double? -

Tricky! The op amp saturates at -15V, so output cannot go beyond -15V.

Op amps are usually run off bipolar supplies (+/-15V).

Assume there is no charge in the capacitor at start. Because VCAP is at 0V and it connects to pins 2 and 6, the input is at 0V at time = 0. When the circuit is powered up, the capacitor starts charging. When the VCAP reaches 2/3 V0, the transistor turns on and grounds pin 7. Therefore, the capacitor starts to discharge through RB until VCAP reaches 1/3 V0, at which point the transistor turns off and the capacitor starts to charge up again.

Lecture 8: Final Project – Fan Controller

Topics: 1) Final Project Introduction

2) Background Information

Final Project Introduction: -

The final project will evolve from the 555 timer circuit.

-

The project will consist of building a fan controller.

-

Involves giving the system a reference signal from a thermistor. (Therefore,

one is expected to know how to read thermistor values.)

-

Use the 555 timer circuit as a one-shot to catch any input signal and produce a fixed-width pulse output signal.

-

The thermistor driving a 555 timer will give a variable frequency signal.

Connect the input of a series of op-amps in such a way that there is a common voltage (VTHERM) reaching the inputs of all op amps. Choose resistor values to create reference voltages that represent different temperature values. Since the 555 is better at sinking current rather than sourcing it, connect LEDs as shown above.

Since VTHERM is a variable voltage, use a comparator to control the average voltage delivered to the motor. If VTHERM increases (implying higher temperature), the output of the comparator will have a higher duty cycle and the motor will spin faster. If VTHERM decreases, the duty cycle of the output decreases and the motor spins slower.
