IC 555: Description:
The operation of SE/NE 555 timer directly depends on its internal function. The three equal resistors R1, R2, R3 serve as internal voltage divider for the source voltage. Thus one-third of the source voltage VCC appears across each resistor. Comparator is basically an Op amp which changes state when one of its inputs exceeds the reference voltage. comparator is +1/3 VCC. The reference voltage for the lower If a trigger pulse applied at the negative input of this

comparator drops below +1/3 VCC, it causes a change in state. The upper comparator is referenced at voltage +2/3 VCC. The output of each comparator is fed to the input terminals of a flip flop. The flip-flop used in the SE/NE 555 timer IC is a bistable multivibrator. This flip flop changes states according to the voltage value of its input. Thus if the voltage at the threshold terminal rises above +2/3 VCC, it causes upper comparator to cause flip-flop to change its states. On the other hand, if the trigger voltage falls below +1/3 VCC, it causes lower comparator to change its states. Thus the output of the flip flop is controlled by the voltages of the two comparators. A change in state occurs when the threshold voltage rises above +2/3 VCC or when the trigger voltage drops below +1/3 Vcc. The output of the flip-flop is used to drive the discharge transistor and the output stage. A high or positive flip-flop output turns on both the discharge transistor and the output stage. The discharge transistor becomes conductive and behaves as a low resistance short circuit to ground. The output stage behaves similarly. When the flip-flop output assumes the low or zero states reverse action takes place i.e., the discharge transistor behaves as an open circuit or positive VCC state. voltage applied to the threshold and the trigger input terminals. Thus the operational state of the discharge transistor and the output stage depends on the

Pin Configuration:

Function of Various Pins of 555 IC:


Pin (1) of 555 is the ground terminal; all the voltages are measured with respect to this pin. Pin (2) of 555 is the trigger terminal, If the voltage at this terminal is held greater than one-third of VCC, the output remains low. A negative going pulse from Vcc to less than Vec/3 triggers the output to go High. The amplitude of the pulse should be able to make the comparator (inside the IC) change its state. However the width of the negative going pulse must not be greater than the width of the expected output pulse.

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

Pin (3) is the output terminal of IC 555. There are 2 possible output states. In the low output state, the output resistance appearing at pin (3) is very low (approximately 10 ). As a result the output current will goes to zero , if the load is connected from Pin (3) to ground , sink a current I Sink (depending upon load) if the load is connected from Pin (3) to ground, and sinks zero current if the load is connected between +VCC and Pin (3). Pin (4) is the Reset terminal. When unused it is connected to +V cc. Whenever the potential of Pin (4) is drives below 0.4V, the output is immediately forced to low state. The reset terminal enables the timer over-ride command signals at Pin (2) of the IC. Pin (5) is the Control Voltage terminal.This can be used to alter the reference levels at which the time comparators change state. A resistor connected from Pin (5) to ground can do the job. Normally 0.01F capacitor is connected from Pin (5) to ground. This capacitor bypasses supply noise and does not allow it affect the threshold voltages. Pin (6) is the threshold terminal. In both astable as well as monostable modes, a capacitor is connected from Pin (6) to ground. Pin (6) monitors the voltage across the capacitor when it charges from the supply and forces the already high O/p to Low when the capacitor reaches +2/3 VCC. Pin (7) is the discharge terminal. It presents an almost open circuit when the output is high and allows the capacitor charge from the supply through an external resistor and presents an almost short circuit when the output is low. Pin (8) is the +Vcc terminal. 555 can operate at any supply voltage from +18V. +3 to

Features of 555 IC
1. The load can be connected to o/p in two ways i.e. between pin 3 & ground 1 or
between pin 3 & VCC (supply)

2. 555 can be reset by applying negative pulse, otherwise reset can be connected
to +Vcc to avoid false triggering.

LPF remove high frequency noise voltage. Output is error voltage. If control voltage of VCO is 0, then frequency is center frequency (f o) and mode is free running mode. Application of control voltage shifts the output frequency of VCO from fo to f. On application of error voltage, difference between fs

IC 1496 Description:
IC balanced mixers are widely used in receiver ICs. The IC versions are usually described as balanced modulators. Typical example of balanced IC modulator is MC1496. The circuit consists of a standard differential amplifier (formed by Q5 _ Q6 combination) driving a quad differential amplifier composed of transistor Q1 Q4. The modulating signal is applied to the standard differential amplifier (between terminals 1 and 4). The standard differential amplifier acts as a voltage to current converter. It produces a current proportional to the modulating signal. Q7 and Q8 are constant current sources for the differential amplifier Q5 Q6. The lower differential amplifier has its emitters connected to the package pins ( 2 & 3) so that an external emitter resistance may be used. Also external load resistors are employed at the device output (6 and 12 pins).The output collectors are cross-coupled so that full wave balanced multiplication takes place. As a result, the output voltage is a constant times the product of the two input signals.

Theory: Adder:
amplifier. A two input summing amplifier may be constructed using the inverting Here the inverting mode is used. So the inputs are applied through mode. The adder can be obtained by using either non-inverting mode or differential resistors to the inverting terminal and non-inverting terminal is grounded. This is called virtual ground, i.e. the voltage at that terminal is zero. The gain of this summing amplifier is 1, any scale factor can be used for the inputs by selecting proper external resistors.

Subtractor: A basic differential amplifier can be used as a subtractor as shown in


the circuit diagram. In this circuit, input signals can be scaled to the desired values by selecting appropriate values for the resistors. When this is done, the circuit is referred to as scaling amplifier. However in this circuit all external resistors are equal in value. So the gain of amplifier is equal to one. The output voltage Vo is equal to the voltage applied to the non-inverting terminal minus the voltage applied to the inverting terminal; hence the circuit is called a subtractor.

signal voltage Vin is applied to the (+) input; Because of this arrangement, the circuit is called the non-inverting comparator. Depending upon the levels of Vin and Vref, the circuit produces output. In short, the comparator is a type of analog-to-digital converter. At any given time the output waveform shows whether Vin is greater or less than Vref. The comparator is sometimes also called a voltage-level detector because, for a desired value of Vref, the voltage level of the input Vin can be detected

Theory: a) LPF:
A LPF allows frequencies from 0 to higher cut of frequency, fH. At fH the gain is 0.707 Amax, and after fH gain decreases at a constant rate with an increase in frequency. The gain decreases 20dB each time the frequency is increased by 10. Hence the rate at which the gain rolls off after fH is 20dB/decade or 6 dB/ octave, where octave signifies a two fold increase in frequency. The frequency f=fH is called the cut off frequency because the gain of the filter at this frequency is down by 3 dB from 0 Hz. Other equivalent terms for cut-off frequency are -3dB frequency, break frequency, or corner frequency.

b) HPF:
The frequency at which the magnitude of the gain is 0.707 times the maximum value of gain is called low cut off frequency. Obviously, all frequencies higher than fL are pass band frequencies with the highest frequency determined by the closed loop band width all of the op-amp.

Theory: Band pass filter:


A band pass filter has a pass band between two cutoff frequencies fH and fL such that fH > fL. Any input frequency outside this pass band is attenuated. There are two types of band-pass filters. Wide band pass and Narrow band pass filters. We can define a filter as wide band pass if its quality factor Q <10. If Q>10, then we call the filter a narrow band pass filter. A wide band pass filter can be formed by simply cascading high-pass and low-pass sections. The order of band pass filter depends on the order of high pass and low pass sections.

Band Rejection Filter: The band-reject filter is also called a band-stop or


band-elimination filter. In this filter, frequencies are attenuated in the stop band while they are passed outside this band. Band reject filters are classified as wide bandreject narrow band-reject. Wide band-reject filter is formed using a low pass filter, a high-pass filter and summing amplifier. To realize a band-reject response, the low cut off frequency fL of high pass filter must be larger than high cut off frequency fH of low pass filter. The pass band gain of both the high pass and low pass sections must be equal.

Notch Filter:
The narrow band reject filter, often called the notch fitter is commonly used for the rejection of a single frequency. The most commonly used notch filter is the twin-T network .This is a passive filter composed of two T-shaped networks. One T network is made up of two resistors and a capacitor, while the other uses two capacitors and a resistor. There are several ways to make the notch filter. One way is to subtract the band pass filter output from its input .The notch-out frequency is the frequency at which maximum attenuation occurs and is given by

fN = 1/( 2RC )

Theory: A Monostable Multivibrator, often called a one-shot Multivibrator, is a


pulse-generating circuit in which the duration of the pulse is determined by the RC network connected externally to the 555 timer. In a stable or stand by mode the output of the circuit is approximately Zero or at logic-low level. When an external trigger pulse is obtained, the output is forced to go high ( VCC). The time for which the output remains high is determined by the external RC network connected to the timer. At the end of the timing interval, the output automatically reverts back to its logic-low stable state. The output stays low until the trigger pulse is again applied. Then the cycle repeats. The Monostable circuit has only one stable state (output low), hence the name monostable. Normally the output of the Monostable Multivibrator is low.

Theory:
When the power supply V CC is connected, the external timing capacitor C charges towards VCC with a time constant (RA+RB) C. During this time, pin 3 is high (VCC) as Reset R=0, Set S=1 and this combination makes Q =0 which has unclamped the timing capacitor C. When the capacitor voltage equals 2/3 VCC, the upper comparator triggers the control flip flop on that Q =1. It makes Q1 ON and capacitor C starts discharging towards ground through RB and transistor Q1 with a time constant RBC. Current also flows into Q1 through RA. Resistors RA and RB must be large enough to limit this current and prevent damage to the discharge transistor Q1. The minimum value of RA is approximately equal to VCC/0.2 where 0.2A is the maximum current through the ON transistor Q1.

LINEAR IC APPLICATIONS LABORATORY

47

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

During the discharge of the timing capacitor C, as it reaches VCC/3, the lower comparator is triggered and at this stage S=1, R=0 which turns Q =0. Now Q =0 unclamps the external timing capacitor C. The capacitor C is thus periodically

charged and discharged between 2/3 VCC and 1/3 VCC respectively. The length of time that the output remains HIGH is the time for the capacitor to charge from 1/3 V CC to 2/3 VCC. The capacitor voltage for a low pass RC circuit subjected to a step input of V CC volts is given by VC = VCC [1- exp (-t/RC)] Total time period T = 0.69 (RA + 2 RB) C f= 1/T = 1.44/ (RA + 2RB) C

Theory:
A voltage regulator is a circuit that supplies a constant voltage regardless of changes in load current and input voltage variations. Using IC 723, we can design both low voltage and high voltage regulators with adjustable voltages. For a low voltage regulator, the output VO can be varied in the range of voltages Vo < Vref, where as for high voltage regulator, it is VO > Vref. The voltage Vref is generally about 7.5V. Although voltage regulators can be designed using Opamps, it is quicker and easier to use IC voltage Regulators. IC 723 is a general purpose regulator and is a 14-pin IC with internal short circuit current limiting, thermal shutdown, current/voltage boosting etc. Furthermore it is an adjustable voltage regulator which can be varied over both positive and negative voltage ranges. By simply varying the connections made externally, we can operate the IC in the required mode of operation. Typical performance parameters are line and load regulations which determine the precise characteristics of a regulator. The pin configuration and specifications are shown in the Appendix-A.

Theory:
A positive clipper is a circuit that removes positive parts of the input signal. In this circuit the op-amp is basically used as a voltage follower with a diode in the feed back path. The clipping level is determined by the reference voltage Vref which should be less than input voltage range of op-amp. Additionally since Vref is derived from the positive supply voltage, dc supply voltage is well regulated. During the positive half cycle of the input, the diode(IN4007) conducts only until Vin =Vref. This happens because Vin < V ref the voltage Vref at -ve input is higher than that at the +ve input. Hence the output voltage Vo the op-amp become sufficiently negative to drive D1 into conducting. When D1 conducts it closes the feed back loop and op-amp operates as a voltage follower i.e. output Vo follows input Vin until Vin =Vref.
