Modems have been often been stand-alone, add-on devices for most data communications equipment. The recent integration of the complex functions a modem performs into a single chip has allowed manufacturers to economically build the modem right into the microcomputer or data terminal equipment. A circuit diagram of such a modem is shown in figure 1. Circuit Description of Medium Speed Modem Using SC11004 All of the signal processing functions needed for a full-duplex, 300/1200-b/s modem, including the FSK and PSK modulators and de-modulators, are integrated on a single chip. It includes…

Water Level Controller Using NE555
Here is a circuit called Water Level Controller Using 555 Â which continuously monitors the level in the overhead and ground-level tanks, and switches on the pump whenever the water level in the overhead tanks falls below a predetermined level and switches off the pump whenever it reaches the maximum preset level so that there is no spillage. Further, if the level of water in the lower tank falls below a preset low level, this circuit overrides the commands being sensed from the overhead tank and switches off the pump. This…

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is a technique to control the average power delivered to the analog devices. With an acquisition of 555 IC amongst most people working with electronic devices, the use of 565 IC is like using two 555 ICs inside a single device. Unlike 555 IC, 565 IC has 14 pins which act as a dual timer. 565 IC is also available with 10 pins. Nevertheless, they both require the same amount of power supply. PWM using 565 IC is a form of Pulse Time Modulation (PTM), also…
Read MorePWM Generator and Class D Power Amplifier
PWM (pulse-width modulation) forms the basis for a very efficient form of power amplification. The circuit in figure 1 is a so-called class D power amplifier since the actual power amplification is provided to the PWM signal, and since it is of constant amplitude. The transistors used can function between cutoff and saturation. This allows for maximum efficiency (over 90%) and is the reason for the increasing popularity of class D amplifiers as a means of amplifying any analog signal. Circuit Description of PWM Generation Class D Power Amplifier The…
