Image
2:1 Multiplexer in Digital Electronics 2:1 Multiplexer A 2-to-1 multiplexer consists of two inputs Do and D1 and one select line S and one output Y. Depends on the select signal, the output is connected to either of the inputs. The block diagram of 2:1 multiplexer The mux will be enabled if enable(E) is activated. After enabling if the select line is low, then the output will be switched to D1 input. The boolean expression for the output becomes Do = when S=0 and output is D1 when S=1. Boolean expression for 2:1 multiplexer Y = Do S' + D1 S The logic circuit of 2:1 multiplexer can be implemented by using logic gates. It consists of two AND gates, one Not gate and one or gate. When the select line, S=0 the output of the lower AND gate is zero, but the Upper AND gate is Do. Thus the output generated by OR gate is equal to Do. ...

R-S Latch

R-S latch R-S Latch Latchs is a basic building element in sequential circuits. Latches do not have clock signal, that is, they are asynchronous sequential circuits Latches are made up of static gates and are bi-stable i.e. it has two stable states and can switch between these states. Latches will have a feedback path from the output. Thus they change their output at any instant using the previous and present states of the signals R-S latch bloack diagram Where S=SET Input R=RESET Input Q=Output Qbar=Complemented Output RS latch implemented using NOR gates and we can store either a 0 ar a 1 in this circuit depending upon the vlaue of R and S When R=0, S=0 we don't have a change in the output in the circuit. Hence Q and Qbar remains in the pre...

Direct Coupled CE Amplifier Direct Coupled CE amplifier Direct Coupled CE amplifier Direct Coupled amplifier using transistors. The ouput signal of first stage is directly connected to the input of the next stage. This direct couplig allows the quiescent d.c. Collector current of first stage to pass through base of the next stage, affecting its biasing conditions. Due to absence of RC components, its low frequency response is good but at higher frequencies shunting capacitors such as stray capacitances reduse the gain of the amplifier The transistor parameter such as Vbe and β change with temperature causing the collector current and voltage to change. Because of direct coupling these changes appear at the base of the next stage, and hence in the output. Such an unwanted change in the output is called Drift and it is serious problem in the direct Coupled amplifiers. ...

Barkhausen Criterion Barkhausen Criterion Consider a basic inverting amplifier with an open loop gain A. As basic amplifier is inverting, it produces a phse shift of 180* between input and output. The feedback network attenuation factor β is less than unity. Now the input Vi applies to the amplifier is to be derived from its output Vo using feedback network. But the feedback must be positive i.e. the voltage derived from output using feedback network must be in phase with Vi. Thus the feedback network must introduce a phase shift of 180* while feeding back the voltage from output to input. This ensures positive feedback. The arrangement shown Consider a fictitions voltage Vi applied at the input of the amplifier. Hence we get, Vo = A Vi ...

Zener Diode as Regulator

Image
Line Regulation with Zener Regulator Line Regulation with Zener Regulator Zener regulator under varying input voltage condition It can be seen the input is Vo=Vzis constant IL = Vo/Rl = Vz/Rl = constant And I = Iz+IL Now If Vin increases, than the total current I increases. But IL is constant as Vz is constant as Vz in constant. Hence the current Iz increases to keep IL constant But as long as Iz is between Izmin and Izmax, the Vz i.e output voltage Vo is constant Thus the changes in input voltage get compensated and output is maintained constant. Similarly if Vin decreases, than current I decreases. But to keep IL constant, Iz decreases. As long as Iz is between Izmax and Izmin the output voltage remains constant. the maximum power dissipation for the zener diode is fixed and given by Pd = VzIz max

Voltage Fallower Op-Amp as Voltage Fallower A circuit in which the output fallows the input voltage is called voltage fallower circuit The voltage fallower circuit using op-amp The node B is at potential Vin Now node A is also at the same potential as B i.e according to the same concept of virtual ground Va = Vb =Vin Now node A is directly connected to the ootput. Hence we can write, Vo = Va Vo = Vin For this circuit, the voltage gain is unity. Thus the output voltage Vo is equal to the input voltage Vin. If Vin increses, Vo also increases. If Vin decreases also Vo decreases. Thus output fallowes the input hence the circuit is called voltage fallower circuit. It also called source fallower, unity gain amplifier, buffer amplifier or isolation amplifier the input and output waveforms

Zero Crossing Detector

Image
Zero Crossing Detector Op-Amp as Zero Crossing Detector The basic non-inverting comparator can be used as a zero crossing detector This circuit tells wether the input siganl is greater than or less than zero and indicates the zero crossing points of the input A typical circuit for such a detector It is a non-inverting comparator circuit with Vref=0V. During the positive half cycle, the input voltage is positive i.e above the reference voltage. Hence voltage is +Vsat During negative half cycle, the input Vin is negative, i.e below the references voltage. The output voltage is than -Vsat. Thus the output voltage switches between +Vsat and -Vsat whenever the input signal crosses the zero level. Thus the output indicates the zero crossing of the input by changing the state of the output waveforms we realize that zero crossing detector can be used as a sine to square wave converter

Thus if X1 and X2 are inductive the x3 must be capacitive while if X1 and X2 are capacitive then X3 must be inductive. Hence in LC oscillators, the feedback network consists of two inductors and one capacitor or two capacitors and one inductor.
