FOREWORD

The Nuclear Electronics Laboratory Manual is a joint product of severalelectronics experts who have been associated with IAEA activity in thisfield for many years. It is based on the experience of conducting eighteentraining courses on nuclear electronics, and in this respect, the contri-bution of many other scientists are hidden in the final manuscript.

The manual does not include experiments of a basic nature, such ascharacteristics of different active electronics components. It starts byintroducing small electronics blocks, employing one or more activecomponents. The most demanding exercises instruct a student in the designand construction of complete circuits, as used in commercial nuclear instru-ments. It is expected that a student who completes all the experiments inthe manual should be in a position to design nuclear electronics units andalso to understand the functions of advanced commercial instruments whichneed to be repaired or maintained.

The future tasks of nuclear electronics engineers will be increasinglyoriented towards designing and building the interfaces between a,nuclearexperiment and a computer. The manual pays tribute to this development byintroducing a number of experiments which illustrate the principles and thetechnology of interfacing.

Part of the manual, i.e. Special Projects IV, V and VI were prepared bythe Central Unit for Electronics, Kernforschungsanlage Jülich; this work wassponsored by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany.

The following experts contributed to the manual: D. Camin (Argentina),J. Lopes (Portugal), F. Manfred! (Italy), J. Pahor (Yugoslavia), Z. Zamori(Hungary), and J. Dolnicar, H. Kaufmann and R. Lelliott (all IAEA).

INTRODUCTION

The Laboratory Manual is an effort to provide orientation in trainingin the field of nuclear electronics. It gives information about theprinciples of nuclear electronics circuits while simultaneously introducingcontemporary electronics technology. It is intended for students who have abackground in basic electronics.

The exercises in this Laboratory Manual are sorted into threecategories:

I. Experiments 1 to 22 are intended to demonstrate the basic buildingblocks as used in nuclear electronics. The completion of anexperiment should require at the most three hours in thelaboratory.

II. Experiments A to I are extensive, full scale exercises that mightrequire several days of laboratory work.

III. Special Exercise I to VI are designed to show a student how tomake a useful electronics device or computer interface. In fact,these exercises reach beyond the normal course in electronics, andproduce a real instrument applicable to a nuclear experiment.

The exercises have been designed for the IAEA interregional nuclearelectronics course which is conducted on a rather advanced level, and runsfor 13 weeks. In this course, about 60% of the time is devoted to practicallaboratory work. It is obvious that for a shorter course on a lowertechnical level, appropriate exercises have to be selected, and the moresophisticated experiments will have to be deleted.

Each experiment is introduced by an explanation of the circuitoperation on the physics principles. In this way, the Laboratory Manual canserve at the same time as an introductory textbook for nuclear electronics.

The final part of the Manual is reserved for literature on the activeelectronic components used in the experiments. Short tips on production ofprinted boards and on design of circuits are also included in Parts 1 and 3.

To avoid the inconvenient letters for resistivity and. capacitance, asimplified notation has been selected. Resistors are described inR (ohms), K (kiloohms) and M (megaohras); 10 R means 10 ohms, 2K7 stands for2.7 kiloohm, 1M5 is 1.5 megaohm. The values of capacitors are given in pF,nF, or uF, in the drawings also p (for picofarad) and n (for nanofarad) areused.

Most of the wiring diagrams include the values of all the active andpassive components used in the design. For some experiments, only thesuggested values are given, challenging the student to determine and selectthe most suitable components himself.

It is expected that the students in nuclear electronics will learn howto design a printed board, and how to produce it. However, it would be tootime consuming if every student would prepare every printed board describedin this Manual. Therefore, a set of masks for the boards was prepared, asis availble on request.

EXPERIMENT 1

DISCRIMINATOR

Objectives; Studies of the input-output relation for an open loopoperational amplifier application are performed to obtain a practicalvoltage discriminator. The influence of the positive feedback isdemonstrated.

Fig(A

IntroductionThe output voltage VQ of an operational amplifier represented in

, 1.1 is VQ = A (v+ - v~), where A is a very large number105). With v~ = 0 the relation between input V+ and output VQ

is plotted in Fig. 1.2.

Fig. 1.2 Input-output relation forthe operational amplifierwith Vref = 0 V

Fig. 1.3 Input-output relationfor the operationalamplifier with Vref = 3 V

The output voltage VQ exhibits a sharp jump in the vicinity of thezero input voltage, and the amplifier output voltage swing is limited by theamplifier operating voltages E+ and -E~.

Accepting the -E+ voltage as the logical low state and the E+voltage as the logical high state, the circuit can tell the polarity of theinput voltage applied to the input.

If the voltage Vref instead of the zero voltage is connected to thenoninverting input the input-output relation becomes, for Vref = 3V, vo= A(v+-3>, as represented in Fig. 1.3.

The circuit can discriminate between input voltages smaller than Vrefand greater than Vref. However, with v~ = Vref the output VQ mightbe zero.

Fig. 1.4 Discriminator with possible feedback

In order to improve the sensitivity of the system, positive feedback isintroduced (Fig. 1.4). Previously stable circuit becomes unstable, i.e.only E+ or -E~ output states are possible. This can be proved asfollows. Assume that both input signals v~ and vj are zero; VQ isalso expected to be zero. But if the output voltage even slightly deviatesfrom zero, as is practically the case, one percent of this deviation istransferred to the non-inverting input, causing faster and faster growing ofthe output voltage. The final state (either E+ or -E~) depends on theinitial polarity of VQ.

Fig. 1.5: Input-output rotation forcircuit of Fig. 4 with

Fig. 1.6: Input-output rotationfor circuit of Fig. 4 withvref = 3 V

The introduction of the positive feedback thus results in the sharptransition between high and low output state represented in Fig. 1.5. Forthe circuit in Fig. 4 the gap width is 0.02V. When the output is in thehigh state, 10V for example, the input voltage sufficient to cause high tolow output transition must be larger than -0.01V to pull the voltage at thenoninverting input below zero. The similar consideration shows that theinput voltage greater than 0.01V is required for the low to high transition.

With increasing value of the input resistor R^ and the decreasing ofthe feedback resistor R2, the influence of the output voltage VQ becomesstronger, and the gap in hysteresis is wider.

Finally, the transition points can be shifted left and right by theproper choice of the Vref voltage (Fig. 1.6).

Consider the modified discriminator pulse response. The discriminatorlevel Vref should be equal to the amplitude of the incoming pulse. Theoutput pulse in the modified version is still of the finite length(Fig. 1.7a) while in the original version the output pulse length goescontinuously to zero (Fig. 1.7b).

Vref

Fig. 1.7: Effect of hysteresis on output pulse width

The additional advantage of the hysteresis is the clear recognition ofthe zero crossing for slow varying signals in the presence of noise or hum(Fig. 1.8).

Fig. 1.8: Using hysteresis to avoid multiple triggering

In nuclear electronics, specially designed circuits for the pulsediscriminator are used. They are faster than operational amplifiers due tothe faster recovery from saturation. Output voltage swings between 3,5 Vand -0,5 V. Some typical representatives are 710 with a response time of 10ns, LM 360 (14 ns), LM 311 (200 ns>, TL 510 (30 ns) and Am 685 (6 ns,fastest but expensive).

When assembling the printed circuit board according to Fig. 9 leave the100 k resistor out. Provide the PCB with OIL sockets, to have thepossibility to interchange different types of operational amplifiers: 741,LF 356, LF 357 and CA 3130 (for the last one the operating voltage shouldnot exceed 12 V). Use the triangular input voltage and displaysimultaneously the input and output signals. Prove that slowly varyingsignals give unclear output response when passing the Vref.

Theninsert feedback resistor and verify curves shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6. Findthe proper resistor and Vref for hysteresis giving the up transition at 10V, and down transition at 0 V.

The transition times are not identical for all different amplifiers.The fastest output rise time expressed in V/^us is called slew rate.Estimate slew rates for different amplifiers having the same pindistribution.

Remember the range between 0.5 V//us for 741 (very slow) with about 10V//US for LF 356 (typical contemporary) and with 1500 V/us for NE 531 (veryfast).

HINTS FOR LABORATORY WORK

HOW TO MAKE PRINTED BOARDS

IntroductionAll contemporary circuits are assembled on printed circuit boards

(PCB). The basic material for PCB is vetronite (epoxy resin strengthenedwith glass fibers), single or double sided coated with copper of 35 or70 pan thickness. For normal use, 35 un is preferable. The standardthickness of the copperised plate is 1,6 mm. The fabricated boards of thisthickness can be shaped to enter directly in female flat connectors, likeAMP Latch (2,54 mm contact separation); in this case the hard gold platedcontacts are required to assure the reliable electric contacts (Fig. 1.).The contact density of 40 per 100 mm of the Eurocard side length can beachieved but even this high density does not meet the contemporaryrequirements of digital electronics. Therefore Siemens C42334-A (DIN 41612)connector providing 96 contacts in three rows on the same length ispreferable (Fig. 2).

For the simple digital as well as for the analog circuits, single sidePCB can be used. The analog circuits contain many resistors and capacitorswhich can be used as bridges across the PCB conducting lines (Fig. 2).

Fig. 1 Plugging a PCB directly to a connector

For the digital circuits with few resistors, double sided PCB arenormally employed to avoid large numbers of jumpers, a jumper is a wirecrossing the PCB conducting lines (Fig. 3).

Interconnecting conducting lines on different sides of the PCB is madeby inserting short wires through holes and soldering.

More advanced technology is to make the plated-through connections, i.e.to join electrically both sides of PCB through holes by a galvanic process.The area of plated-through connections is smaller than the area required forthe classical wired connections. Therefore, more dense PCB can be manu-factured by using the plated through technology. For the most densearrangements even this technology is insufficient and is extended to multi-layer (or laminated) PCB. For such circuits, thinner separate PCBs areprepared, joined in a thicker one and equipped with the conductive holeswhere necessary. For a PCB made of 5 separate sheets the crossing of

Page 15: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

conductors at 6 different levels is possible. PCBs with as many as 20separate layers have been produced. However, such technology is impossiblewithout special machines. Therefore, only production of single or doublesided PCBs is described below.

For the production of PCS, the copper plated board is coated with anetch resistive material following the conducting lines joining the circuitcomponents. By etching, all uncoated copper is removed from the board.Then holes for the component mounting are drilled. To avoid the oxidation,the copper protecting material is removed from the plate shortly before thecomponents are soldered in.

The protection of the copper plate by the etch resist pattern is usuallyachieved by coating the board with a photosensitive laquer from the"POSITIVE 20" spray then exposing the board to the light through thefull-size negative. The exposed board is immersed in an aqueous solution ofNaOH washing off the exposed parts of the laquer.

PhotomaskBefore starting with the design, all circuit components should be

collected.

Fig. 5 Defining essential points on a PCB

As a design example Fig. 6 shows a small circuit for which a PCB has tobe produced. The part of the sketch is shown in Fig. 7.

Very often the circuit is complex. Watch carefully the circuit diagramand try to recognise smaller blocks connected with other blocks by theminimal number of interconnecting wires. Then try to draw the separateblocks which will be put together later. Try to have all ICs oriented inthe same direction.

Taking a piece of the precision inch grid (Fig. 8), overlay it with thetracing paper and transfer the sketch on the paper taking care about theactual size Fig. 7. Normally 2:1 scale is preferable to produce the printedcircuit artwork, however, for the production of the final photomask thephotographic procedure is required in this case. Therefore we will limitourselves to 1:1 scale mask design.

High precision drawing is still not required at this phase, with theexception of all the future soldering points that should strictly coincidewith the crossing points of the grid lines. It is recommended keeping thesame distance (0,4 inch for instance) for all 1/4W and 1/8W resistors. Forcapacitors which greatly vary in dimension, two or three different holespacing are foreseen. Do not forget one 100 nF bypass capacitor for any 2to 4 digital ICs.

Fix your final drawing (Fig. 9) on the table, overlay it with theprecision transparent inch grid and with a transparent polyester foil ofapproximately 0,1 to 0,2 mm thick. Foils used for overhead projectors aresuitable.

Photomask is produced by using self-adhesive tapes, precut forms andstickons. There is a large choice of these articles and they areexpensive. The most useful forms are shown in Fig. 10. In the first step,the socket configurations and transistor configurations printed ontransparent stickons are removed from their supporter by sharp nose tweezersand transferred to the transparent foil, then the donut pads (round terminalareas) are pressed on.

For conductors, opaque tapes produced in the variety of sizes are used.One mm width is popular,- and 0.4 m is the thinest that should be used. Takewider lines for the power lines (at the rate of 2 mm width for 1 A) andground lines.

As shown in Fig. 12 several conducting lines can be inserted betweenboth lines of terminals of DIL socket. One line can be inserted between twoneightbour pins of 1C if some paints are carefully scratched off. Use asharp knife with an exchangeable blade to cut off the excess tape. Withpractice, the proper pressure will be applied, to cut only the tape whilethe paint on stickons will remain unsplit.

After being produced, the photomask should be carefully inspected.Remove all small pieces of the tape which have remained attached to thephotomask. Observing the mask against the light might reveal some pointswhere the conductor lines are discontinued.

For the proper circuit orientation as well as for easier assembling andcontrol of the PCB, significant points (pin 1 of ICs, polarity of theelectrolytic capacitors and dides diodes) are marked. Note that letteringmust be made from the opposite side of the photomask (not the taped one).

For the final photomask check, overlay it with tracing paper, andcompare all lines with the circuit scheme. Draw all components (resistor,capacitors and ICs) on the tracing paper and follow interconnections byusing the circuit scheme.

Plate sensitivationCut the board out from the basic material.

It should be 15 mm wider and longer than the photomask dimensions.Clean the surface by a hard eraser (used with typewriters), and do not touchthe already cleaned surface to avoid greasy fingerprints. The dry and cleansurface (but not hot if heat was used during drying) is sprayed over theboard in the horizontal position with POSITIVE 20, from a distance of 20 to30 cm. Spray until the separate droplets are joined. Move spray in bothdirections to get the uniformly painted surface. You do not need a darkroombut avoid direct sunlight. Store the coated plate in a completely darkplace. The drying time at normal room temperature is from 12 to 24 hours.When heating facilities are available, the drying time of 20 minutes issufficient but the temperature should not exceed 60°C.

Note the thicker photosensitive layer along the edges,reason for making the PCB lareger than the photomask.

This is the

The above procedure can be shortened by using fabrically precoatedboards according to the Eurocard . If necessary plates are cut into smallerpieces of the exact size. The black self-adhesive plastic foil protectingthe photosensitive surface against the light should not be removed.

The photosensitive board to be exposed is overlayed with the photomaskwhich is pressed down by a piece of perspex or glass.

Fig. 13 Exposure of PCB

There are two types of illuminating devices using either diffused orpoint light sources. With the later (Fig. 14), more sharp patterns can bereproduced from hand-made photomasks where the overlapping tapes can not bepressed closely enough to the photosensitive surface.

Exposure and processingWith a 500 W incandescent lamp the exposing times between 2 and 6

minutes can be expected if the distance between the lamp and the board isapproximately 40 cm.

For the best results make a probe on a strip with the step increase ofexposure time (Fig. 15). Avoid overlapping two or more stickons, even

20

Page 20: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

transparent when producing the photomask. Due to the reduced transparencythe surface below will be underexposed.

After exposure the already visible pattern has to be processed in 7 gper liter aqueous solution of NaOH. Use the prepacked bags for 1 liter ofsolution if you want to avoid weighting. When preparing solution from yourown NaOH supply, keep in niind that NaOH is strongly hygroscopic. Ifweighted wet, more diluted and less active solutions will be prepared. Thesolution attacks and etches the skin also. If by accident, it reached aneye, wash it with water and vinegar for neutralisation.

For processing, the photographic trays are acceptable. The normalprocessing time is up to 2 minutes at temperatures from 20 to 25°C. Usingcolder solutions, this time will be longer (10 minutes or more), and is notrecommended. Using a hotter solution, (about 35°C) even the unexposedparts will be washed off. The same effect will be caused by a moreconcentrated solution. Note that the solution left in an open vessel andexposed to the atmosphere with large surface will be ineffective in a coupleof hours. This is due to the neutralisation of NaOH through the absorptionof C02 from the air.

Etching

Before etching check the protective pattern over the copper again. Therevealed discontinuities (scratches, and similar) would result in breaks oflines. Therefore it should be repaired by using either the etch resisttapes, pressure-sensitive tapes (LETRASET) or etch resist flomaster.

Put the PCB into a low and flat tray with an etching solution (aqueousFe Clß solution close to saturation). Do not etch several PCBssimultaneously; they will scratch each other. Assure the flow of thesolution across the PCB by moving up and down one side of the tray.However, the best etching results are obtained with PCBs oriented verticallyin the etching vessel. The etching solution should be warm; the recommendedtemperature is around 40°C. Normal etching times are between 15 and 30minutes. In a colder solution, the etching times are longer.

DrillingFor drilling, the high speed (5000 to 10000 rpm) drilling machines are

preferable. Use of the hard metal drills, resistant to glass content in thePCB material, is recommended. A normal drill it will be ruined afterdrilling two or three PCBs. The hole diameter 0,8 or 0,9 is good for themajority of the elements. For bigger capacitors a 1,2 mm diameter isrequired.

21

Page 21: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

The above described method of PCB manufacturing deals with the simplescase only of a single-sided PCB, as used in the nuclear electronics trainingcourse. For more advanced methods of producing a more sophisticated PCB,consult the literature.

As before, the black connecting lines are followed when the lower sidephotomask is produced. The upper side photomask which contains connectionson the component-side could be produced by overlaying the first photomask bythe new transparent sheet and following the colour lines. Actually this isthe normal way for producing photomasks for double-sided PCBs.

In the most advanced technology, instead of making two separate maskseach with a black pattern, one double coloured mask is made. Red and bluetransparent elements are used for the upper and the lower side elements.Only elements which have to be reproduced on both sides are put in black.At the photographic reduction, the blue pattern alone can be reproduced byusing the photographic material insensitive to the red colour .

The similar method is employed for the reproduction of the red patternalone.

After making the first photomask it must be removed and fixed to thetable with tapes face downwards, together with the inverted final drawing.All three sheets (grid, final drawings and the upper side photomask) areoverlayed with the new fresh transparent foil. The colour lines arefollowed to produce the lower side photomask.

EXPERIMENT 2

INTEGRATOR WITH RESET

Objective: The operation of an active integrator is demonstrated byusing dc and rectangular input signals. For the integrator reset afield-effect transistor Field-effect transistor (FET) is used and itstypical properties are pointed out.

IntroductionThe circuit as shown in Fig. 2.1 performs the time integration of the

input voltage vj:

V0 = - ~ v dtl/ KL* l

vo-oFig. 2.1 Voltage integrator

If a small constant voltage of -100 mV is applied to the input ofour circuit with R = l M and C= 10 nF, the ramp voltage

10io6. io-8 t = 10 t

will be produced. Starting from VQ = 0, the saturation voltage of 10Vwill be reached in 1 second. To restore the initial state, the capacitorshould be discharged. One way to do this is to introduce the n-channelFET 2N3819 as the analog switch (Fig. 2.2). When the FET gate isconnected to the negative power supply voltage -V, drain-to-sourcechannel is nonconductive (R0ff = IO' ohm). When the gate voltage ismade close to zero by grounding the left side of the 10 k resistor, theFET is made conductive (Ron = some 100 R).

Saturation of the integrator amplifier may be avoided by connectinga large value resistor Rf across the feedback capacitor as shown inFig. 2.3. In this case the integrator response to a dc input voltage

Page 31: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

vc namely -(Rf/R)Vc . Therefore, with the input grounded an outputvoltage close to zero is achieved. After this modification theintegration of ac signals of frequency f is still correctly performed ifthe relation 2 fRfC 1 is fulfilled. In the opposite limiting case,when 2 fRfC 1 the circuit is an amplifier with the gain of -Rf/Rj.

Fig. 2.3: Integrator with dc resistive feedback

ExperimentAfter assembling the circuit drawn in Fig. 2.2, check the operation

of the integrator with the grounded input. The expected output voltageVQ should be zero. However, the observed voltage tends to slowlyincrease or decrease. Therefore, the exact zero of the integrator shouldbe set by turning the potentiometer and observing the output voltage toget the stable output.

To prove the integration, a small input voltage of the positive ornegative polarity should be applied. The saturation level of VQ iseasily reached. If the voltage is decreasing, the saturation level isobserved at approximately -6V. This effect is caused by the FET whichstarts to conduct if its drain voltage exceeds one half of the gatevoltage which is -12V.

If the rectangular voltage is applied to the input, the expectedoutput voltage is of the triangular form. However, a ramp-steppedvoltage signal is superimposed to the triangular output voltage until theintegration is stopped either by the positive or the negative saturationlevel. This can be explained either by the dc component present in theinput signal or by the input offset voltage instability.

Prove that the integrator becomes stable when 20 M (=10 + 10)resistor is connected across the feedback capacitor. Try to find theminimal frequency of the rectangular input signal where the triangularoutput signal is still undistorted. How much is the term 2 fRjCf inthis case?

Fig. 3.1: Univibrator circuit Fig. 3.2: Univibrator signals

In order to understand the Univibrator operation let us start with theinpuL signal being zero and let us follow the corresponding signalsrepresented in Fig. 3.2. A constant z signal has no influence on the usignal. The u signal is high and y is low. Two low states, x and y resultin high z as seen from the truth table for the NOR gate. However, when theinput, signal jumps from the low to high state, this transition, transmittedthrough the input capacitor, lifts the input voltage x above the thresholdlevel. Therefore z jumps down. This high to low transition of z pushesdown the u voltage changing the y from high to low. When the positive goingpulse at x go down, the low z state is sustained through the y input.

The duration T of the y high state is determined by u which should bebelow a certain threshold voltage. When this voltage has been reached ygoes down, causing the jump in z signal. The positive part of thetransmitted signal, above 12 V, is clamped by the protecting diode insidethe 1C.

The high to low transition of the input signal has no influence on thefurther operation.

Fig. 3.3: Univibrator and LED display schematics

ExperimentsVerify the operation of the circuit (Fig. 3.3) after assembling it,Add external resistors in parallel either to R-^ or to R2» observe

the changes and try to explain them. The output pulse duration T isdetermined by the moment of the intersection between the exponentiallydecreasing voltage u = -VQ e -t'RC, and the NOR gate logical thresholdvoltage, approximately V0/2. Calculate the dependence of the pulseduration T on R and C.

The circuit given in Fig. 3.3 offers additional opportunity to learnsome electronics. How to observe the Univibrator operation by alight-emitting diode (LED)? The current output of 120 /iA, typical for theCD 40 family is too small to drive a LED. Therefore, a transistor amplifieris inserted. During the positive pulses delivered at the Univibratoroutput, the current of 120 yuA flows into the transistor base. If thetransistor current amplification factor of 200 is assumed, the collectorcurrent would be 24 mA. For proper LED operation, about 10 mA is required.Therefore the collector current is limited with the Ik resistor.

This is true for the dc operation. In the case when LED is connectedto the pulses, the average current through it is much smaller, and theproportionally lower light output might be expected.

Try to observe the light output at different pulse rates. The light isnot much less than under the dc operation. With pulse operation of LEDdisplays by strobing, the power consumption is drastically reduced.

It might be interesting to follow the propagation of the Univibratorpulses through gates connected in series. The output signal after thedouble inversion in CD 4001 NOR gate is similar to the input signal, butdelayed. Try to measure the time difference between signals by using thesimultaneous oscilloscope representation of both pulses.

EXPERIMENT 4

INVERTING AMPLIFIER

Objectives; The properties of the inverting amplifier are studied. Byits expansion into the summing amplifier with weighted inputs thepossibilities for digital to analog conversion are demonstrated.

Introduction:The operational amplifier, as shown in circuit diagram (Fig. 4.1),

provides the output voltage vo = -(Rf/R^v^ as the response to theinput voltage vj. The majority of the contemporary amplifiers is fullycompensated, and therefore no additional components are needed for stableoperation, irrespective of voltage gain determined by the Rf/Rj ratio.The above formula is of importance in different situations, therefore itsderivation is presented below.

Fig. 4.1: Inverting voltage amplifier

From the already known relation VQ = A (v"1" - v~) follows for thedifferent v+ - v~:

v+ - v~ =Therefore, for large A the difference v+ - v~ tends to zero, for

any finite VQ. In our circuit with v+ = 0, v~ must be also zero.When the voltage vj is applied to the input of the circuit, the

current i^ = v^/Rj will flow into the node point at . The secondcurrent into the node point is the current through the feedback resistorif = VQ/Rf. The third current there is the bias current of theoperational amplifier which is normally very small, 80 nA for 741, and 70 pAfor LF356, for example. According to the Kirchoff law the sum of allcurrents into the node point should be zero, or ij + if = 0, in ourcase. Thus, for VQ follows:

VQ = -(Rf/Rp Vi-

The circuit which has to be assembled according to Fig. 4.2 has twoinputs to apply the signal. For the signal connected to the upper input,the gain is -5,6/20 = -0,28. For the signal connected to the lower inputthe corresponding gain is -0,56.

What can be expected if the same signal, for example the positivesupply voltage, is applied to both inputs? Both output voltages aresuperimposed, and the resulting voltage is the sum of the separatecontributions. This can be proved mathematically as before following theidea that the two input currents must be balanced with the feedback current,i.e. iji + i^2 + if = 0.

Fig. 4.2: Summing amplifier

Exercise.Assemble the circuit shown in Fig. 4.2. Insert OIL 8 socket to have a

way for easy exchange of operational amplifiers. Start with LF 356. Verifythe circuit operation by using at inputs dc supply voltages as well as theperiodic signals from the signal geneator.

Check two bit digital to analog conversion with the positive supplyvoltage as 1 and ground as 0. Setting (0,0), (0,1), (1,0) and (1,1) inputcombination the output voltage will fall in equal steps 0, -vo, -2vo and-3v,o*

The circuit could be modified to perform any multi-bit conversion.Replace LF 356 by LF 357. Now the output voltage oscillates; the

stable operation is achieved only if Rf/Rj<5.Observe the pulse response of amplifiers LF 355, LF 356 and 741. Set

pulse amplitude 1 to 10 v, repetition rate as high as possible, and pulsedurations from 0.5 /as to 10 jus. Very sharp input pulses will be smootheddue to the insufficient amplifier gain at high frequencies. The effect willbe more pronounced if gain Rf/Rj is increased to 100 by replacing thefeedback resistor of 5k6 by a l M resistor.

SIGNAL AMD PULSE GENERATOR

Objective: The signal and pulse generator is produced according toEurostandard to be used in later experiments. It provides rectangular andtriangular voltage up to 10 V peak to peak in the frequency range from 2 to2.103 Hz. From the separate output periodic positive pulses of thevariable amplitude 0 to 10 V, and the variable duration 1 to 1A us of thesame frequency as above are delivered.

Introduction:The triangular and rectangular signal generator can be made by

connecting the discriminator with hysteresis and an integrator in the closedloop (Fig. A.D.

Fig. A.I: Triangular and rectangular signal generator

The operation of the circuit can be understood by assuming the lowstate of -10V at the discriminator output. Therefore the integrator outputvoltage linearly grows in time until the discriminator upper transitionpoint is reached. Then the discriminator output voltage jumps into the highstate at 10V approximately. Due to the integration of the positive inputsignal, the integrator output voltage descent linearly until the lowertransition point is reached. After the discriminator output voltage ischanged back to the low state, the cycle is over.

The frequency of the generated signals can be regulated by reducing theamplitude of the rectangular signal before the integration. Small inputamplitude will result in a slowly increasing slope of the generatedtriangular voltage, and a long time will be needed to reach one or othertransition point.

The triangular voltage is obtained at the output of the integrator, andthe rectangular at the output of the discriminator. The desired voltageform is selected by the switch S^ for the amplification in the linearoutput stage with the variable gain. In this stage the operationalamplifier is used as a noninverting amplifier.

Having the triangular and rectangular voltage the circuit reading canbe extended to the additional functional blocks (Fig. A. 2). The analogsignals are amplified in the linear noninverting amplifier. For the pulsegeneration the positive edge triggered Univibrator is used, and amplitudeof the generated pulses is controlled by using the pulse output amplifier.

For the noninverting amplifier shown in Fig. A. 3 the relation betweeninput and output signals will be derived. As shown in Exercise 1,"Discriminator", the difference v = v+ must be 0, thereforev~ = v+ As u is the R2/(R1 + R2) part of the output voltage VQ;namely:

v~ = [R2/(Rione can write

v0 = [ ( R! + R2 ) / R2 1By the proper choice of R^ and R2, any amplification without the

signal inversion between 1 and the amplifier open loop gain can be obtained.

Fig. A.3: Noninverting amplifier

The distinguishing feature of the noninverting amplifier is its highinput impedance. This makes it suitable to accept input signals from apotentiometer providing variable gain control. The potentiometer is notloaded and the gain scale is linear.

The already familiar building blocks can be recognised in Fig. A.4.The frequency of the triangular and rectangular signals can be varied intwo ways. Continuous regulation is achieved through potentiometer ?2 inthe range 1:100.

The operation of this system is poorly defined if the rectangularsignal is attenuated more than 100 times. Below these values the amplitudeof the attenuated rectangular signal becomes comparable with the input off-set voltage drift of the integrator. Therefore the lower part end of thedividing potentiometer is separated from the ground by a 100 R resistor.Coarse frequency regulation is achieved by an additional capacitor whichcan be connected in parallel to the 10 nF capacitor in the integrator.

Because the triangular and rectangular signals are not equal inamplitude they are connected to the input of the noninverting amplifierthrough the equalising resistors 5k6 and 15 k. The output noninvertingamplifier with a gain of 2 provides the output signals of amplitudes 10 Vpeak to peak.

Page 38: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

The positive edge triggered Univibrator activated by the rectangularinput signal and serving for the pulse generation is explained inExperiment 3 "Univibrator". By the variable resistor in place of R2, theoutput pulse duration can be varied. To get the positive pulses from theone-transistor amplifier the Univibrator positive pulses are invertedbefore being applied to the base of the output transistor Trl. Thistransistor is either fully conductive with a large current sink capability,or fully closed. In the latter case the output impedancy is 390 R, thevalue of the collector resistor. In this switched operation, the height ofthe output pulses is determined by the supply voltage i.e. the voltage atthe emitter of the transistor Tr2. Due to the variable voltage on the baseof this transistor, any value for the amplitude of the output pulsesbetween 0 and the supply voltage can be set.

ExperimentsBefore assembling, it is useful to check, the printed circuit board for

the broken lines or for short circuits. Assembling starts with jumpers.During the assembling it is useful to check the operation of the separatestages.

See Fig. A.5 for the component layout.

Fig. A.4: Signal and pulse generator

The discriminator and the integrator are first assembled, and theiroperation is checked. Then the noninverting amplifier is made andchecked. Finally the Univibrator is assembled and signals at pins 4 and11, CD 4001 are verified.

If the generator will not operate, very probably the careful visualinspection of the soldered board will reveal one or few unsoldered points.It is also useful to check supply voltages at all corresponding 1C pins (12V at pin 7 for both all LF, and pin 14 for DC, -12 V at pin 4 for all LF,and ground at pin 7 for CD).

At last insert all the necessary components into the front plate, fixthem well and join the plate with the front plate with the printed circuit

, TSL^ and Rs form a foldback

To understand the action of the voltage stabilizing loop, consider thatunder normal load conditions the current limiter circuit is not operating.0.2 is cut off.

The reference voltage Vg is developed across a reverse biasedbase-emitter junction of a small signal transistor 0.3. A zener diode canalso be used.

Now, let us suppose that the output voltage tends to decrease. Thiswill vause V(_) to decrease and so will the error voltage. This in turn

47

Page 46: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

will raise the output voltage of the op-amp making Q^ to conduct more,cancelling in this way the original decreased of VQ.

The foldback type current limiter circuit works as follows: under lowcurrent conditions the drop of voltage across Rs is less than the voltagedeveloped across R3 and R4 which produces a bias at the base emitterjunction of 0.2- For that reason Q2 is cut-off.

The moment at which Q2 starts conducting is when:R = * V + 0.5 V (1)

k is the fraction of output voltage developed across R% and the upperpart of R4 (actually k is adjusted with

As Q2 starts to conduct, it takes the current which previously wentthrough the base of Qj_: the current limiting action takes place. Theoutput current cannot be greater than Imax-

When there is a short circuit at the output terminals the outputvoltage VQ equals zero. From the circuit it is easy to observe that

ISc Rs = 0.7V (2)

as the base current of 0.2 is negligible.

It can be noticed that the short circuit current ISc, is smaller thanthe maximum current IM.

ExperimentThe experiment permits the testing of the proposed circuit verifying

the actions explained above.With the properly selected values for the components, a V/250 mA power

EXPERIMENT CREGULATED POWER SUPPLY USING A MONOLITHIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR

Objective; This experiment illustrates the utilization of a monolithicregulator in which the reference, error amplifier and current limiter residein the same package.

Introduction:The LM 723 is a versatile monolithic voltage regulator used in this

experiment to build a 5V/1A power supply mounted onto a Eurocard board.As it supplies ISO mA only, an external power transistor is used to

increase the regulator current capability.For details concerning the operation of the regulator itself it is

advisable to read the corresponding data sheets. In this experiment anauxilliary power supply consisting of a voltage doubler Dj_, €2, D2,C3, R! and D3 provides bias for the LM 723. Resistors R4, P2 andR3 fix the maximum and short circuit current as they determine togetherwith the internal current limiting transistor, a fold back configuration.Resistors R6, P^ and Rj fix the output voltage.

Note that separate wires are used to sense the output voltage. Thistechnique is used in those cases where the load is far from the power supplyand the drop of voltage in the cables are to be compensated. Fig C. 1.illustrates this situation.

HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY

Objective; To analyze a typical circuit used in high voltage powersupply for detector biasing.

IntroductionThe power supply to be assembled and tested produces 900V at

approximately 1 mA. The circuit diagram is on Fig. 7.1. A square waveoscillator feeds a driver stage which is connected to a step-uptransformer. The centre tap of the primary winding is connected to a 12 Vsupply coining from a voltage regulator. Under these circumstances a 440 Vsquare wave is developed in the secondary winding. This ac voltage isrectified in a doubler type rectifier circuit.

High voltage power supply

The double circuit works as follows: diode D^ charges capacitor C-^to the peak of the voltage present at the secondary. Between A and B avoltage which is the sum of the dc voltage developed at C^ plus the acvoltage at the secondary winding is in turn rectified by D2 and filteredby C2. The result is that capacitor C2 is charged to the peak value ofthe voltage existing between A and B, that is to say, double of the peakvoltage at secondary winding.

55

Page 53: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

The voltage regulator samples the high voltage and adjusts thepotential of the centre tap to compensate for possible variations of thehigh voltage. Potentiometer P permits the final adjustment of the highvoltage.

The oscillator is implemented with a CMOS integrated circuit. Aflip-flop assures a perfectly symmetrical wave at the primary winding of thetransformer avoiding possible circulation of dc current through it.

Note that this is an experimental power supply to illustrate theprinciples upon which a commercial unit is built. For a practicalapplication additional circuits are needed such as filtering networks, highvoltage potentiometer for adjustment of the output voltage, provision forinverting polarity and for output current measurement.

EXPERIMENT 8

COAXIAL CABLES (AND DELAY LINES)

Objective; The object of this experiment is to measure characteristicparameters of a coaxial cable <RG 58/U) and of a delay line.

Introduction;Coaxial cables are normally used in the interconnection of nuclear

modules. Like any other transmission line they exhibit inductance andcapacitance per unit length. If the load impedance at the receiving end ofa coaxial cable does not have a particular value called characteristicimpedance Z0, a portion of the voltage and current travelling along thecable toward the load will be reflected at the load, resulting in voltageand current waves travelling back towards the generator end of the cable.The output impedance of the generator should also have the value 20 if anyreflection coming from an imperfect impedance match at the receiving end isto be absorbed.

The characteristic impedance is given by the following expression;

-IFL = inductance per unit lengthC = capacitance per unit length

The propagation time istd = L x 7According to the recommendations given in the NIM standard Preferred

Practice, 93 R coaxial cables are used for analog signals. This is sobecause the higher impedance of these cables placed lesser demands onamplifier output current capability and this makes for increasedlinearity in the system. For short cable lengths impedance matchingtermination is not required as reflections do not cause trouble; shortstands for lengths such that the transmission time is much smaller thanthe signal rise time (for example, a 1m cable gives negligible reflectionwith a SO us rise time signal; for most analoge signal cables under 2m donot require termination). For long lengths of 93 R coaxial cable, 91 Ror 100 R (which are standard resistance values) provide adequatetermination.

For fast logic signals, 50 R cable is used and always properlyterminated.

In the case of linear outputs, nuclear modules usually provide twoconnectors, one giving the signal through low source impedance and theother through 93 R. The low impedance output is normally used but if thecable is long and not terminated, reflections and/or oscillation canhappen. In this case the 93 R output is used.

The cable capacitance is also an important parameter to be consideredin some cases, such as in detector-preamplifier interconnection. Toreduce noise, low capacitance at the preamplifier input is desired. The

59

Page 56: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

capacitance per unit length is inversely proportional to the ratio ofconductor diameters and directly proportional to the dielectric constantof the material between conductors. The characteristic inductance isdetermined by the same factors. Thus similarly constructed cables withthe same impedance will have the same capacitance per unit length,regardless of the diameter size. Because of their lower capacity 100 Rcables are recommended for detector preamplifier connections.

A comparison of coaxial cables is given:

The current capability of the output stage should be checked when acable is terminated; for example a current of 100 mA must be supplied todevelop a 10V signal in a 100 terminated cable.

POLE-ZERO CANCELLATION

Objective: analyzing the behaviour of a circuit whose function is thatof clipping a slowly decaying exponential pulse without adding undesiredtails.

IntroductionPole-zero cancellation in nuclear pulse processing is basically

employed to clip a unipolar, exponentially decaying signal, like thatdelivered by a charge-sensitive preamplifier, without adding unwantedtails. Prior to the introduction of pole-zero cancellation into nuclearelectronics, clipping was implemented by RC-differentiators. The clippedsignal was then followed by a tail of opposite polarity which impaired thecounting-rate capabilities of the system (see Fig. 10.1).

The time constant will be slightly lessthan 2 us that is, signal clipping is achieved, but a tail of oppositepolarity is present. Observe also that the decay time constant of the OUTsignal is largely determined by the R2C2 product. For instance, you canreduce R2 to Ik and the output time constant will decrease to «vl yus.

Perfect pole-zero cancellation occurs when the time constant determinedby C2 and by the series connection of the 2k resistor and the 10kpotentiometer equals the time constant of the signal at point B.

Look again at the OUT signal by using adequate sensitivity, observe howthe shape of the output signal displayed on the scope changes by changingthe value of the potentiometer (Fig. 10.4).

Adjust the potentiometer to achieve correct pole-zero cancellation anddetermine the exact value of the time constant of the clipped exponentialpulse.

HOW TO MAKE RELIABLE ANALOG CIRCUITS

Designing and building a reliable analog circuit of large bandwidth,say 100 kHz or more, as needed in nuclear electronics is not as simple asyou might believe.

Even in those cases in which the circuit is perfectly designed from thedc point of view, the designer has to fight against several kinds ofdifficulties that can be grouped into two main categories:

A) ANOMALOUS BEHAVIOUR IN ABSENCE OP APPLIED SIGNAL

B) DISTORTION OF THE APPLIED SIGNAL

To category A) belong all the spurious oscillations and the noisegenerated by internal components and pick up of external disturbances aswell.

A common design practice suggests that all the analog circuits shouldbe assembled on a printed circuit board having on one side a GROUND PLANE,according to the drawing of Fig. 1. Active components will be located onthe side of the ground plane, while conductive paths and passive componentswill be soldered on the opposite side.

If a double-faced printed circuit is not feasible, use a single-planeapproach by leaving some GROUND ISLANDS of a few cm^ each.

GROUND CONDUCTIVE PATH(LOWER

INSUtATORFig. 1 A printed board for analog circuits

Bad soldering is a common source of spurious oscillations. Payparticular attention to the case in which a connector, for instance a panelBNC female, is directly soldered to the ground plane or to one of the groundislands of your printed circuit board. Use in this case a soldering iron ofsuitable power and make sure that an adequate amount of liquid tin isprovided to safely fix the connector to ground.

69

Page 64: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

In the design of a printed circuit board avoid long and thin connectingpaths as they create excessive STRAY INDUCTANCE. From the point of view ofspurious oscillations it is better having short, wide connecting pathsaiming at favouring stray capacitance versus stray inductance. Theconducting paths of the printed circuit board of Fig. 1, in this respect arenot a good example, as they are too long and thin.Never forget, however,that large stray capacitance becomes detrimental to the high frequencybehaviour of the circuit.

Filter the power supply lines as close as possible to the point inwhich they enter your printed circuit board. In series with every supplyline connect a small resistor, 10 to 100R, depending on the currentabsorption you expect in your circuit and then implement a low pass filterusing this resistor and two capacitors in parallel to ground. One of thesecapacitors should be a 10 uF electrolitic, the other one a 0.1 uF ceramicdisc or polystyrene capacitor. The former has the purpose of shortcircuiting to ground the low frequency disturbances, the other will takecare of the high frequency ones.

Never forget that two active elements, for instance two operationalamplifiers in close proximity on the printed-circuit board and supplied bythe same line, most frequently induce each other into oscillation. In thesecircumstances it is advisable to put a capacitive bypass as shown in Fig. 2.

Fig. 2 Preventing oscillations in an amplifier

So, a critical circuit may require more than one filtering group forthe supply lines and the filtering groups should be located in such a way asto interrupt the high frequency path between contiguous active devicesproviding large gain at high frequencies.

Pay attention to the way you connect the pins of an operationalamplifier or of a comparator to the relevant printed circuit points. If thedevice is in the TO-5 can, cut the external leads as short as you can toavoid stray inductance.

If you must introduce into your circuit a grounded-base or emitterfollower connected transistor, most likely it will oscillate. Thisbehaviour is explained by the presence of STRAY INDUCTANCES in the base andcollector leads. Even though you have taken on the precautions to make theconductive paths in the printed circuit board as short as you could, stillthe thin lead of the transistor and the hair-like connection to the chipinside the can may have enough stray inductance to induce high frequencyoscillations.

To remove high frequency oscillations in grounded base and emitter-follower circuits, the precautions shown in Fig. 3 are very useful.

DON'T FORGET THAT IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE CHECKING THE dc VOLTAGES ANDCURRENTS AS LONG AS THE CIRCUIT OSCILLATES.

Therefore, as soon as a new analog circuit is assembled, connect thescope to the circuit output and turn on power.

IF NO DISTURBANCE APPEARS ON THE SCOPE, YOU CAN START CHECKING THE dcVOLTAGES AND CURRENTS. Remember that, in order to avoid perturbation of thecircuit due to the stray input capacitance of the DVM you employ in thesemeasurements, it is advisable to connect a 4.7k resistor in series with theDVM measuring clips. If all the dc voltages and currents approach theexpected values, then go on applying signal.

IF, HOWEVER, AS SOON AS YOU GIVE POWER YOU OBSERVE ON THE SCOPEOSCILLATIONS, PICK-UP, UNEXPECTED NOISE, START WORKING TO REMOVE THESETROUBLES BEFORE MEASURING THE dc QUANTITIES.

CHECKS TO BE MADE:

ARE ALL THE POWER SUPPLY INCOMING LINES FILTERED?

ARE THERE ACTIVE ELEMENTS WITH NO HF BYPASS ON THE POWER LINES INBETWEEN?

ARE THERE OP-AMPS OR ANALOG COMPARATORS WITH LONG LEADS?

ARE THERE UNNEUTRALIZED GROUNDED BASE OR EMITTER FOLLOWER AMPLIFIERS?

ARE THERE REFERENCE DIODES NOT BYPASSED BY A 0.1 uF CAPACITOR INPARALLEL? THIS MAY EXPLAIN LARGE NOISE CONTRIBUTIONS.

Once you have removed the trouble, go to the next step checking the dcvoltages.

Again, when all the dc voltages are close to the expected values youcan turn the signal generator on and observe the behaviour of the circuit onthe signal.

71

Page 66: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

The output signal may show ringing or oscillations, like in Fig. 4.This is a symptom that the bypassing and filtering you have introduced,though effective in removing the oscillations is not yet adequate to thesignal behaviour of your circuit.

Fig. 4 Undesired oscillations

Besides rechecking the bypassing and filtering networks, remember thatsometimes a resistor in series with the input of an amplifier may prove tobe effective in reducing high frequency ringing, Fig. 5.

Fig. 5 Reducing oscillations

Finally, never forget to check that at the side of your circuit thecable employed to couple the signal to other circuits must be properlyterminated on its characteristic impedance.

EXPERIMENT 11

BASELINE RESTORATION

Objective; The objective of this experiment is to demonstrate theeffect of baseline restoration in reducing baseline shift at high countingrates. Comparison with ordinary ac coupling will be made.

Introduction:Baseline restoration is a nonlinear operation which has the purpose of

forcing slow tails following a nuclear signal to recover to zero at a fixedslope. Its function is shown in Fig. 11.1. The input signal, which comesfrom an improperly adjusted pole-zero cancellation network is followed by along negative tail.

Fig. 11.1 Effect of baseline restoration

At the output of the baseline restorer, the tail is forced by thecircuit to reach the baseline at a fixed slope whose value is determined bythe circuit parameters.

The circuit chosen for this experiment is (Fig. 11.2) )ased upon afeedback circuit which employs a matched pair of diodes working at equalcurrents I. Assume that a positive signal comes in. The capacitor C behaveson the leading edge of the signal as a short circuit. The cathode of D^is pulled positive by a low impedance driving and it turns off. The currentsupplied by Lhc lower generator flows out of the capacitor C, which changesat a rate of -I/C.

When the rectangular signal ends, its trailing edge turns off Ö2,while a current 2I-I = I flows into the capacitor which charges at a rateI/C until the baseline level is reached. The present baseline restorer iscalled symmetric, for the two restoration rates are of equal magnitude butof opposite sign. If the input signal has a negative tail, the action ofthe baseline restorer is identical to the previously described one as longas the slope of the tail has a magnitude lower than I/C.

Experiment:In order to realize the circuit of Fig. 11.1 in the best way, choose

two diodes that are as closely matched as possible. A choice has to be madefrom a batch of diodes using the circuit as shown at the right margin ofFig. 11.2. Fix in the diodes a current of approximately 200 uA, measuretheir forward voltages and select two diodes that differ by less than 20 mVin their forward voltages. Connect them in the circuit of Fig. 11.2. Keep

At the right: selecting

the pulse generator off and adjust the 20k potentiometer so as to drive thevoltage at point P as close to zero as possible.

Note that: the measurement of the dc voltage on the virtual ground of afeedback operational amplifier requires some precautions, to avoid that thecapacitance of the voltage measuring instrument drives the circuit intooscillation. A simple precaution consists in putting a resistor of a few kin series with the voltmeter probe. Check then the amplifier outputvoltage: it should differ from zero by less than 20 mV.

Once the dc checks have been made, turn on the generator and adjust itso that a signal is delivered with the following characteristics:

EXPERIMENT DCOMPLETE LINEAR SYSTEM FOR DETECTOR SIGNAL PROCESSING

Objective

The purpose of this experiment is to assemble, put to work andcharacterize a complete linear system for detector signal processing. Theresulting equipment will consist of a low noise charge-sensitivepreamplifier, housed in a metal shielding box, and of a completespectroscopy amplifier. Both units are of professional design and can beused indeed as basic structures, starting from which a home made linearspectroscopy system can be implemented simply by adding more facilities likeselectable time constants and a broader range of gain values.

IntroductionA linear system for detector signal processing consists of a low noise

preamplifier and of a further amplifying and shaping unit, calledspectroscopy amplifier. The latter performs a twofold function. First, itraises the amplitude of the signal delivered by the preamplifier to thelevel required by further processing instruments, like multichannelanalysers. Secondly, it maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio, by enhancingfrequencies in the signal spectrum and depressing the noise frequencies.The amplifier must provide for a stable count-rate independent baseline, forthe signal amplitude is to be measured between peak and baseline. Theamplifier must be able to produce unipolar output pulses while receivinginput pulses with an exponential decay.

The practical work consists of three phases:Assembling and testing the charge sensitive preamplifier.Assembling and testing the spectroscopy amplifier.Connecting the preamplifier to the spectroscopy amplifier andperforming the noise measurements.

These three phases will be described here in three separate sections.

1. Assembling and testing the charge-sensitive preamplifierIn a solid state detector, just as in the case of an ionisation

chamber, the radiation looses its energy in producing charge carriers. Thesum of these charge carriers, the total charge, is the primary informationfrom the detector. This charge across the detector capacity would give riseto a voltage signal. The detector capacity, however, is not constant. Itis proportional to the square root of the supply voltage of the detector.

Therefore preamplifiers are used which are sensitive to the charge atthe input. They convert the input charge to an output voltage. Thus thechanges in the detector capacity no longer influence the amplitude of theoutput pulse. The appropriate circuit consists of a low noise, invertingoperational amplifier with a feedback impedance, parallel connection of aresistor and a capacitor as shown in Fig. D.I.

Fig. D.I Operational amplifier with the feedback

An appropriate internal structure for amplifier A will be describedbelow. The most critical component is the field effect transistor used atthe input; its selection will now be described.

1.1 Selection of the input FETThe noise performances of charge sensitive preamplifiers are determined

to the largest extent by the characteristics of the input field-effecttransistor. The preliminary part of the implementation of acharge-sensitive preamplifier, therefore, aims at choosing out of a batch offield-effect transistors the most suitable unit.

In the normal operating conditions of a charge-sensitive preamplifier,the dominant noise contribution is the thermal noise in the channel of theinput field-effect transistor and to reduce this term as much as possible, afield-effect transistor with a large transconductance gm should beselected.

The transconductance increases as the drain current in the field-effecttransistor is increased. However, it has to be borne in mind that the draincurrent cannot exceed a value, called IDSS» which represents the value ofthe current flowing into the drain when gate and source are at the samepotential.

The selection of the FET for minimum noise operation proceeds asfollows. Making use of the circuit of Fig. D.2, measure the I valuesfor all the transistorjs you have received.

should be determined by making sure that the drain-to-sourcevoltage lies within +5 and +6V. In this way, each component will becharacterized by its IDSS value. The next step will be the measurement ofthe transconductance gm. For such a purpose the circuit of Fig. D.3 willbe employed.

78

Page 73: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

Fig. D.3 A circuit to measure the transductance

In the circuit of Fig. D.3 the feedback loop keeps the source of theFET at 0 V. In this loop the source of the FBI behaves as a very lowimpedance input. The standing current in the FET is set to a value of 0.9IDSS by choosing the resistor R connected between the source of the JFETand the -6V supply according to the relationship:

R 6V0.9 I tk]

DSS

where Ipgg is expressed in mA. Obviously, different values of R willbe required for FETs of different

Connect then a 1 kHz sinusoidal oscillator through a 1 uFdecoupling capacitor and a 10k resistor to the source of the fieldeffect transistor. Adjust the current flowing through the 10k resistoraccording to the following criterion. The peak-to-peak sinusoidalcurrent entering the FET source must not exceed 10% of the standingvalue. Therefore, the amplitude control of the sinusoidal oscillatormust be set so as to meet the previous requirement. In other words, thepeak-to-peak voltage at P^ read with an oscilloscope, divided by 10kmust give a current equal to 10% of 0.9 IDSS» that is equal to0.09IDSS. Let us call this peak-to-peak current iB. Flowing intothe source of the FET, ig modulates the gate-to-source voltage. Readthe peak-to-peak value of the sinusoidal voltage at the output of theoperational amplifier. Let us call this peak-to-peak voltage VG. Theratio ÎS/VQ gives the value of the transconductance.

An example will clarify the whole procedure. Assume an FET for whichthe measurement of Fig. D.2 gives an IDSS of 8 mA. The transconductancewill therefore be measured at 90% of IDSS» that is, at a standing currentof 7.2 mA. A source current of 7.2 mA must therefore be fixed in thecircuit of Fig. D.3. The value of the unknown resistor R is

R = 6V7.2 mA 820 [R]

Having introduced this resistor into the circuit, you know that thestanding source current in the field-effect transistor is 7.2 mA and

therefore the peak-to-peak value of the 1 kHz sinusoidal current employedfor the gm measurement must not exceed the value

0.1 x 7.2 mA = 0.72 mA.

To fix this current, look at the sinusoidal voltage at P^ andadjust the sinusoidal generator amplitude until the voltage at P± is7.2V. Now you are sure that the current crossing the 10k resistor andentering the source of the FET is 0.72 mA. Pass on now to measure thepeak-to-peak amplitude of the sinusoidal voltage at ?2- Suppose, forinstance, that this peak-to-peak amplitude is 120 mV. Thetransconductance is given by:

120 mV -The measurement of gm has to be repeated on all the units

available and each unit will be characterized by its value of IDSS an<iits value of gm. The FET with the largest gm will be introduced inthe charge-sensitive preamplifier.

1.2 Circuit Description of the PreamplifierWe now refer to the complete circuit diagram in Fig. 0.4. The

preamplifier has two blocks. The first one (Tl - T4) is the chargesensitive loop, corresponding to amplifier A of Fig. D.I; the second (T5- T9> provides voltage gain and a low output impedance. Approximatequiescent values for voltages and currents at several points are shown inthe diagram.

The field effect transistor Tl provides low noise and high inputimpedance to the basic amplifier of the charge sensitive loop; the signalcurrent developed in Tl flows through T2 and the high impedance offeredby current source T3 acting as a load; this determines a high voltagegain in this stage. Resistors R4 and R6 and capacitor C3 avoid highfrequency parasitic oscillations. The value of R3 will depend on IDSS«note that the current entering the current source T3 also passes throughR3; thus R3 may be determined through the relationR3 = 7.6V/(2mA +0.9 IDSS) .

Potentiometer R13 allows the output quiescent voltage to beadjusted to 0V through the application of a quiescent negative voltage ofappropriate value to the gate of Tl.

The feedback impedance corresponding to Cf and Rf of Fig. D.I,is the parallel of C2 and R2; thus the input current is integrated in C2and the corresponding voltage pulse has a decay time constantV = C2.R2 = 220 fis.

The second block is a voltage amplifying stage with the gain defined bythe feedback resistors ratio (R18 + R19)/ R18 =5.7. Transistors TS, T6 andT7 constitute a cascode differential amplifier, R22 being the load resistor;T8 and T9 assure a large output current capability. Feedback make theimpedance at the common node of R24 and R2S practically zero, and R27 isused to match the coaxial cable impedance.

1.3 Checks on the Preamplifier and Rise Time MeasurementsOnce the layout of the charge-sensitive preamplifier shown in figure 4

is ready, check the dc voltages in all the circuit nodes and all thecurrents in the branches. Also in these measurements, a resistor of a few kin series with the voltmeter probe is advisable. Compare the values ofvoltages and currents you have found with those written in the circuitdiagram.

If you are sure that the circuit works correctly from the point of viewof the dc condition, introduce it into the special metal box you have beenprovided with. Such a box acts as a shield, reducing the 50Hz pick-up whichotherwise would make measurements very difficult.

You are now ready to begin the analysis of the signal behaviour of yourcircuit. To do this, connect the generator to the test input and fix thefollowing operating condition for the test signal:

shape:polarity:amplitude:repetition rate:pulse width:

If agreement exists between the nominal and the realvalues, within the obvious inaccuracy margin due to finite components*tolerances, you can go to the next step, that is, to measuring the risetimeas a function of a capacitance, which simulates the detector, connectedacross the input terminals of the charge-sensitive preamplifier.

82

Page 77: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

A set of capacitors ranging from 20 pF to 300 pF is available for thismeasurement.

The measurement has to be performed as illustrated in Fig. D.6. Thedetector simulating capacitor CD is connected in the way shown in thefigure. Raise the generator rate to about 103 pps and measure therisetime of the output pulse, defined between 10% and 90% of the asymp-totic value for CD=0 at first and then for CD = 20 pF, 50 pF, 100 pF,150 pF, 200 pF, 250 pF, 300 pF.

Plot the measured risetime as a function of CD.Connect then the 300 pF capacitor at the preamplifier input and double

C2, that is, increase it from 2.2 to 4.7 pF. Measure the risetime andcompare the value just found with the one found before for Cf = 2.2pF andCD = 150 pF.

If you have finished the risetime measurements, you are ready to takethe next step, which is assembling and checking the spectroscopy amplifier.Charge-sensitive preamplifier and spectroscopy amplifier will then be usedtogether in the noise measurement.

2. Assembling and Testing the Spectroscopy Amplifier2.1 Circuit Description

The amplifier, the circuit of which is shown in Fig. D.7, has threegain and pulse shaping stages, built around ICI, 2 and 3, an active baselinerestoration network built around IC4 and an output buffer, IC5. Pole-zerocancellation is effected at the amplifier input.Gain and Pulse Shaping Stages

The incoming signal is expected to have an exponential decay ofaround = 50 us time constant. To avoid pile-up and other problems thissignal is to be shortened; this is done by active differentiation with atime constant <iif essentially determined by Cl and R3, ^if = 2-2 us-However, to eliminate signal undershoot, a pole-zero concellation techniqueis used; potentiometer R2 is to be adjusted to make Cl x (Rl + R2> =f, thedecay time constant of the input signal. Decay constants from 150 /is to 260^ts can thus be cancelled. (The differentiation time constant is, moreexactly, given by Cl x R3/(R1 + R2); this differs from Cl x R3 by less than2% even if R2 = 0>.

An active integration is also performed around ICI by the feedbacknetwork C2 - R4, with a time constant "^int = 2.2 ;us. When the pole-zeronetwork is adjusted, the gain of the first stage is seen to be 10/e (e =2,78).

The second stage uses the same feedback configuration as the firstone. It performs a t^n^ = 2.2 /is integration and provides for variablegain setting both continuously, by a factor varying between 1 and 2 throughadjustment of potentiometer R6, and in a step, by a factor of 2, by choosingthe feedback network. The maximum dc gain of this stage is given by-R7/R5 = -22; the ac gain is smaller due to the integration time constant.

The third amplifying stage has unity dc gain and performs a doubleintegration with a time constant tjnt = 2.2 /is. The output buffer, whichreceives the signal from the baseline restorer described below is followed

by R13, a 100R resistor used for impedance matching to a coaxial cable withZ0 = 93R. The output current is limited by IC5 to about 15mA.

Altogether the amplifier performs one differentiation and fourintegrations; all the time constants are equal to 2.2 fis. Thus theamplifier gives a quasi-gaussian shape to an incoming exponentially decayingsignal. This is a very appropriate shape to obtain a good signal to noiseratio in a spectroscopy system.Baseline Restorer

The active baseline restorer works to keep a zero voltage at theinverting input of IC3 (a fast operational amplifier); this node isconnected to the input of the last amplifying stage. The restoration ismade necessary because a capacitor (C7) has been used to cancel the large dcgain of the amplification chain (amplifier plus preamplifier). Signals ofeither polarity whose amplitude exceeds a very small value cut off one ofthe diodes Dl (positive signals) or D2 (negative signals); when this happensC7 is charged with a current of roughly -120 /iA. This has a very smalleffect on the amplitude of the signals, which are of short duration. Byunbalancing the currents in Dl and D2 while there are no pulses present, therestorer is able to keep the value of the voltage at the buffer input veryclose to zero even for reasonably high count rates.Technical Details

As shown in the schematics, all the integrated circuits are connectedto the power line trough RC decoupling networks. This is important to avoidoscillations and interferences among the various circuits. The networksshould be physically close to the 1C, and the capacitor soldered to a goodground line.

Two types of operational amplifiers are used: the LF 356 in theamplifying stages and the LM 318 in the baseline restorer. The LF 356 is anFET input operational amplifier with a gain bandwidth of 5 MHz and a slewrate of 12V//us; it has a low noise input voltage and a typical offsetvoltage of l mV.

The LM 318 is a fast bipolar operational amplifier with a typical slewrate of 70 V/yus and a typical offset voltage of 4 mV. In the presentamplifier it is used as a comparator.

2.2 Amplifier Checking

1. Check for spurious oscillations by looking at the output with a scope.2. Observe the behaviour of the amplifier by checking with a DVM whether

the voltages at the inputs and outputs of the different operationalamplifiers have the expected values. The input to the whole amplifiershould be shorted to ground and approximately 0V will be measured atthose nodes.

3. Connect the charge sensitive preamplifier to the input and use a pulsegenerator to inject a charge pulse in the preamplifier; the output ofthe preamplifier should be a signal of about +0.5V amplitude, veryshort rise time and decaying exponentially with a time constant ofaround 220 yus.

4. Reduce the signal to a level that will give a 5V output signal atmaximum gain; check that the amplifier is not saturated. Observe the

signal shape at the output of ICI (one differentiation plus oneintegration), the output of IC2 (two integrations) and of IC3 (fourintegrations). Measure the gain of these stages; check the gaincontrols.

5. Observe the signals at the input and output of IC4; it is seen that,while the (positive) input signal is on, IC4 saturates to the negativerail making D2 conduct all the current that passes through R12 whileRll slowly charges C7.

6. Observe the amplifier behaviour when it is overloaded and compare itsbehaviour to the one observed when the pole-zero cancellation networkis not adjusted.

3. Noise Measurements

With the preamplifier and the spectroscopy amplifier connected togetherand the whole system checked as far as signal behaviour is concerned,observations about noise can be made. Turn the pulse generator off, displaythe noise at the output of the spectroscopy amplifier on the oscilloscopewith an adequately high sensitivity so as to have the noise band covering atleast two vertical divisions.

Observe the noise by gradually changing the horizontal scanning speed,make sure that no 50Hz pick-up is present, that no periodical spikes appearto be superimposed to the noise band, which must look homogeneous. Makesure that the dominant noise contribution, as it ought to be, is the onecoming from the preamplifier. For this purpose, disconnect the preamplifierand terminate the input of the spectroscopy amplifier on 93 R resistor. Thenoise appearing now at the output of the spectroscopy amplifier should beconsiderably smaller than the one observed previously with the preamplifierconnected. If it is so, connect the preamplifier again and start thequantitative noise measurements.

A short explanation about the ways of expressing noise at the input ofa linear amplifier system for radiation detector signals will be anticipated.

Remember that the radiation detectors employed in the energymeasurements deliver a CHARGE which is proportional to the energy releasedby the ionizing radiation in the sensitive region of the detector. Thenoise introduced by the amplifier system can accordingly be expressed as

I) NOISE CHARGE REFERRED TO THE PREAMPLIFIER INPUT

or as

II) WIDTH, EXPRESSED IN UNITS OF ENERGY AND REFERRED TO THE DETECTOROF A HYPOTHETICAL SPECTRAL LINE WHICH IS BROADENED BY THEPREAMPLIFIER.

It has to be borne in mind that both ways express in different unitsthe NOISE CONTRIBUTION of the preamplifier and for this reason thedefinition I is independent of the material employed in detectormanufacturing, either silicon, germanium, CdTe, Hgl2 and so on. Thepreamplifier noise contribution, instead, expressed according to definitionII, would depend on the material the detector is made of.

The preamplifier noise is strongly dependent on the value of thecapacitance CD connected at the preamplifier input to simulate the

86

Page 81: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

detector as well as on the shaping implemented by the spectroscopyamplifier. Therefore, before starting the noise measurements, make surethat the set of capacitors you will use to simulate CD have beenaccurately measured.

Now, the way in which the detector current pulse is simulated has to beexplained. Remember that a detector can be thought of as a current source,delivering a known amount of charge, in parallel to a capacitor. Thecapacitor is CD. The current pulse will be simulated in the way shown inthe Fig. D.8. As already pointed out, a small injection capacitor, Cjnj,is provided inside your preamplifier box. One terminal of Cjnj goes tothe preamplifier input, while the other one is soldered to a connector onthe box wall, labelled TEST INPUT.

Fig. D.8 Simulating a current pulse

By applying to the test input a quasi-step signal with a finite slopeon its leading edge, the current flowing through C^nj will therefore be arectangular pulse of width AT, carrying a charge

CinjAyAt

AQ

If Cjnj is known in value and adequately stable, the chargeinjected &Q can be accurately controlled by acting upon the signalamplitude

This method enables the designer to simulate the radiation detectorin a very accurate way. If the generator employed has provision forchanging slope on the leading edge, the measurement can also account forthe finite collection time in the detector, which is simulated by A f •The latter possibility will not be exploited here, for it is useful onlyfor a second-order correction in the noise measurements and thereforewill be forgotten about in what follows.

Become, then, familiar with the detector simulating chargeinjection and set the generator in the following conditions:

REPETITION RATE:PULSE WIDTH:PULSE POLARITY:

Fix the minimum value of the gain in the spectroscopy amplifier,estimate the charge injected by a 2.2pF injection capacitor when the voltageapplied to it is 20 mV.

87

Page 82: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

Pay due attention to the measurement of the input step amplitude andmeasure the amplitude of the signal which appears at the output of thespectroscopy amplifier. The measurement should be performed in thefollowing way.

Use a T-junction connector at the test input of the charge-sensitivepreamplifier. Connect through a coaxial cable the output of the pulsegenerator to one of the inputs of the T connector. Go with a coaxial cable

PULSE PREAMPLIFIER so*SPECTROSCOßXAMPUFIC.RBOARD___

Fig. D.9 Determine the charge sensitivity of the amplifier system

from the other leg of the T connector to the channel-A input of anoscilloscope and terminate there the coaxial cable on its propercharacteristic impedance. As the impedance presented by the preamplifiertest input is very large and purely capacitive, in this way you make afeed-through connection from the generator through the preamplifier to thescope. Use then a probe connected to the channel B of the scope to displaythe spectroscopy amplifier IC3 output. The whole method is illustrated inFig. D.9.

Employ, as typical sensitivities for this measurement:Horizontal 2-5 yus/divChannel A

Channel 6verticalvertical

88

Page 83: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

Adjust the generator amplitude setting to make the amplitude of thestep of channel A equal to 20 mV. This is a convenient value for theforegoing measurements. Note that 20 mV across a 2.2 pF injectioncapacitance generates a charge equal to:

2 x 10 ~2 x 2.2 x 10~12 = 4.4 x 10~14 coulomb or

4.4 x 10~14 _ 1e ..5 .. ,—————— — = 2.75 x 10 electrons1.6 x 10

As a unit of charge injected, remember that a 1 mV signal through a1 pF capacitor gives

—3 —12 —15 1010 x 10 = 10 Coulomb or -^ ———— —— = 6.250 electrons1,6 . 10 19

Return now to the display you have on the scope, with the injectedstep on channel A and the semi-gaussian signal taken at the output of IC3on channel B. Using transparent paper pressed against the display ofyour oscilloscope, sketch the shape of the semigaussian signal and markon it the correct time scale. This will be used as an auxiliaryinformation to determine whether your preamplifier gives comparativelysatisfactory results.

Determine now the charge-sensitivity of your spectrometry system.To do this, measure the peak amplitude vp of the pulse delivered by thespectroscopy amplifier.

The charge-sensitivity of your system will then be the ratio betweenVp and the amount of charge injected at the input. In the presentcase, the charge-sensitivity will be expressed as:

S = ____ g ______ = 23 v / picocoulomb———— —— — —4.4 x 10____ ______c ———— —— —rr — p

v -6S = ____ g ______ = 3.6 x 10 v / electronC ———— —— 5 ——— P

2.75 x 10For instance, if upon injecting 20 mV at the input (do not forget that

the previous relationship assumes an input signal of 20 mV) you findVp = IV, then the charge-sensitivity of your system will be respectively

S = 23V/picocoulomb orcS = 3.6 x 10~ V/electron = 3.6 uV/electron.c

The energy sensitivity of the system depends on the type of detectorthe system is intended to work with. So, in association with a silicondetector, where creation of an electron-hole pair requires 3.67 eV, theenergy sensitivity of the system would be:

S = S / (energy to form a pair) _ r1- —— - 1 ~ or 1 mV/keVEC — *5 • O / 6V 6V

of energy released.

89

Page 84: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

If the detector connected to the system is, instead, germanium, where2.97 eV are required to create one electron-hole pair, the energysensitivity of the system would be:

The noise measurement can now be performed and two methods will bedescribed here.

a) Measuring the RMS noise of the amplifier system and refering it to theinput of the whole system.This method has the advantage of leading to a preliminary estimate of the

noise performances of the spectroscopy system in a fast way. It can also besuitably accurate if a true RMS voltmeter, like, for instance, Hewlett Packard3400 A is available (10 Hz - 10 MHz bandwidth). If such a voltmeter is notavailable, a first approximation of the RMS can be made in the following way.

Turn off the pulse generator. On the B-channel of your oscilloscope youwill see the noise band at the output of IC3 . Increase the verticalsensitivity so as to display this band on two divisions.

Reduce the horizontal sensitivity to 10 us/division and increase the beamintensity so as to be able to detect the peak-to-peak amplitude of the noise.Remember that the noise has a gaussian amplitude distribution where thefollowing relationship holds:

™„ T Peak-to-Peak amplitudeRMS valued ————— — ; ———— K —————O . D

In this way you will find a value which represents in mV, the RMS noiseat the output of IC3. The RMS value is related to the full width at halfmaximum (FWHM) according to the expression FWHM = 2.355 RMS value.

To determine the EQUIVALENT NOISE CHARGE referred to the input, thatis, the noise charge which may be considered responsible for the measuredoutput RMS noise, you have just to divide by the charge sensitivity of yoursystem:

EQUIV. NOISE CHARGE = °UtpUt n°iseScThe equivalent noise charge is usually expressed in ROOT MEAN SQUARE

ELECTRONS. If instead you prefer to express the noise in terms of noiselinewidth referred to input, this parameter being frequently referred toas energy resolution, observe that:

FWHM Output noise line = 2.355 RMS output noise.

Then divide FWHM output noise line by the energy sensitivity of yoursystem. The result (FWHM output noise line) SE, usually expressed inkeV, gives the resolution of the system.

b) Measurement employing a multichannel pulse height analyzerThis method requires the pulse generator permanently connected and

consists in displaying on a multichannel analyzer two gaussian linescorresponding to two accurately known amplitude settings of the

90

Page 85: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

generator. The preamplifier noise smears the amplitude distribution ofthe pulses and this is the reason why two gaussian distributions areobserved at the output of the amplifier system. The measurementprocedure is as follows: adjust the generator amplitude setting until onchannel A of the scope you read the first reference amplitude which maybe, as previously, 20 mV. Take now the real output of the spectroscopyamplifier, that is, the output of the IC5 buffer with the cablecharacteristic impedance in series, and connect it with a cable to theinput of a multichannel analyzer. Accumulate the resulting gaussiannoise distribution until the curve is well defined, that is, has smallstatistic fluctuations. It is advisable to choose the operatingconditions in such a way that the noise line has a FWHM of at least 10channels. Then stop the accumulation and introduce the second amplitude,which might be 40 mV. Check the amplitude of the generator accurately onchannel A of the scope without changing the vertical sensitivity. Startaccumulating the new gaussian line until it has approximately the samepeak contents as the previous one. Then stop the multichannel analyzerand process the display information, shown in Fig. D.10 in the followingway.

Define by visual inspection the centroid positions of the twogaussian lines and determine the order numbers N^ and N2 of thecorresponding channels. As you know that the difference in the centroidpositions was caused by a difference of 20 mV (40 mV - 20 mV) in thesignal amplitude, and you also know that 20 mV across 2.2 pF simulate anequivalent energy in silicon of 1,000 keV, you can calibrate the energyaxis of your multichannel analyzer, by observing that an input energyvariation of 1,000 keV gives rise to a shift in the spectral line of N2- NI channels. The energy calibration is therefore

1.000 . _,. . Trr —— keV/channel.N2 - NxDetermine now the FWHM of the first and second gaussian curves, and

let i and 2 be their widths in number of channels.The resolution for the first and second gaussian lines therefore is

, keV, FWHM in silicon

, keV, FWHM in silicon

The FWHM in Ge is obtained by remembering that 20 mV across 2.2 pF ingermanium simulates an equivalent energy of 810 keV and therefore thecalibration coefficient would be:

Q-l A-£±ii„ keV/channel.V Nl

PAY ATTENTION: the FWHM should be the same for both spectral lineswithin the statistical fluctuations. If the values of and i>2differ by more than 5%, there is a nonlinearity in the circuit.

Remember that in the noise measurement based upon RMS reading, theoutput from the spectroscopy amplifier has to be taken from IC3, to avoidbaseline restorer induced distortions in the noise line. The measurementwith the multichannel analyzer, instead, is made on the peak of the

waveform resulting from the combination of signal and noise. The signal,accordingly, has to be taken at the true output of the spectroscopyamplifier.

Plan the noise measurement respecting the following steps, to avoidmisuse of the multichannel time and to avoid delaying other groups' work:measure the ENC using the oscilloscope at the values of CD you havealready employed for the risetime measurement, that is:

CD = 0, 20 pF, 50 pF, 100 pF , 150 pF, 200 pF , 250 pF, 300 pF.

Check that the ENC value at CD = 0 is less than 1,000 electronsRMS and that the slope is less than 20 electrons /pF. If your system isbelow the two upper limitations, you can go to the multichannel analyzer.

Determine finally the values of the resolution (FWHM>i for CD =100 pF and (FWHM)2 CD = 200 pF and the slope

(FWHM)2 -100

You should now prepare a complete report on the measurements thathave been made.

EXPERIMENT E

TIME INTERVAL-TO-AMPLITUDE CONVERSIOM

Objective: This experiment aims at showing how the linear conversionof a time interval into an amplitude proportional to it can be employed inthe measurement of the time elapsing between two nuclear events,

IntroductionConsider a time interval defined by two nuclear events.

TIME-TO-AMPLITÜDE conversion is the operation which transforms the timedistance between the two events into an amplitude proportional to it. Theamplitude is then converted into a number by an analog-to-digitalconverter. TIME INTERVAL-TO-AMPLITUDE conversion is therfore a preliminarystep to particular kind of TIME DIGITIZING. It is employed whenever thetime interval to be digitized is so short and the resolution required sohigh that direct TIME INTERVAL-TO-DIGITAL CONVERSION is not feasible becauseof the very high clock frequency that would be needed. Besides that, TIMEINTERVAL-TO-AMPLITUDE Conversion may be useful whenever an amplitudedigitizing system is already available and therefore an analog interfacebetween time intervals and signal amplitudes extends in the moststraightforward way the digitizing function to the time variable.

In what follows the two nuclear events will be assumed to beinteractions of nuclear radiations with detectors. The instant ofoccurrence of the two events is defined from the electrical pulses deliveredby the detectors by suitable timing triggers.

It will be assumed that the output signals from the timing triggers areshort pulses: obviously they are delayed with respect to the true nuclearevents, in the sense that the electronically defined time of occurrence ofthe event does not coincide with the actual time of an occurrence of thephysical events. A pure delay, equal for both events, would be of noimportance as the parameters of interest in nuclear experiments is the TIMEDIFFERENCE between events, not their absolute position in time.

In the measurement of time intervals, the pulse which comes earlier iscustomarily referred to as START SIGNAL, while the pulse which comes lateris called STOP SIGNAL.

Time interval-to-amplitude conversion is realised in the followingway. Generation of a linear ramp begins as soon as the START SIGNAL isreceived. The linear ramp stops when the STOP SIGNAL comes in and the valuereached is held for the time necessary for analog-to-digital-conversion.

Depending on the particular experiment, START and STOP may appear onphysically separate lines, like in the case in which they come from timingtriggers associated with two different detectors, or may appear on the sameline. The latter occurs, for instance, in the analysis of the probabilitydistributions of time intervals between couples of events generated in thesame detector. This is the case, for instance, in which the distribution oftime intervals between events is monitored to detect whether the eventsbelong to Poissonian statistics or not.

The principle of TIME INTERVAL-TO-AMPLITUDE CONVERSION is described bythe timing diagrams of Fig. E.I a) and b).

Page 89: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

The principle of TIME INTERVAL-TO-AMPLITUDE-CONVERSION is implementedby a circuit known as TAG (time-to-amplitude converter). The simplifiedblock diagram of a TAG intended for pulses appearing on separate lines isshown in Fig. E.2.

In the description of the circuit of Fig. E.2 as well as for othercircuit analysis to be made it will be conventionally assumed that theanalog switches are closed when the control voltage VL is at logic levelHIGH and they are open when VL is at logic level LOW.

As to the circuit of Fig. E.2, assume that before the arrival of theSTART pulse the flip-flop has O^ = LOW and Qx = HIGH and thataccordingly S^ is closed and §2 is open.

The monostable multivibrator in the standing state has the Q output atlogic level LOW and therefore 83 is open. In these conditions theconstant current source I is diverted to ground through $2- The resistorR provides a dc path to ground for the leakage currents of the switches S^and S3 and for the bias current out the output buffer, thereby preventingthe voltage across the capacitor C from drifting indefinitely under theaction of these currrents. The value of R must be large enough, 10 megaohmor more to avoid intolerable nonlinearity in the generation of of the linearramp. If the sum of the leakage currents of Sn and 83 and the biascurrent of the output buffer do not exceed IQ"-*0 A, which requires thatthe buffer has a field-effect transistor at the input, the voltage erroracross C would be less than l mV.

The dynamic behaviour of the circuit proceeds as follows. The STARTpulse sets the Q output of the flip-flop to logic HIGH and the Q output tologic LOW thereby diverting the current I into the capacitor C. A voltageramp is therefore generated across C. The linear charging of C stops whenthe flip-flop is reset by the STOP pulse. The voltage reached by thecapacitor at the end of the time interval under measurement is temporarilyheld on C.

The HIGH-to-LOW transition in the flip-flop Q output initiates thefollowing sequence. A time interval, equal to the desired holding time,starts being generated in the delay generator. Once this characteristicdelay has elapsed, the output signal from the delay generator triggers themonostable multivibrator, which at the output Q provides a short positivepulse. The function of this pulse is that of closing the switch 83 thusrestoring the voltage across C to zero. Once the monostable multivibratorrecovers to the standing state, the TAC is ready to process a new timeinterval. The described principle can easily be transferred into thatsuitable for couples of events on the same line by simply replacing theSET-RESET flip-flop configuration with a TOGGLE flip-flop.

It is worth pointing out that a real TAG is somewhat more complicatedthan the circuit diagram of Fig. E.2 would imply. What makes it morecomplicated are the auxiliary logic functions that have to be added toprevent false operation. So, for instance, if a START signal is notfollowed by a STOP signal within a given delay which corresponds to theinstrument full range, the capacitor C must be automatically reset.

A STOP signal not preceded by a start signal must not activate the TAG.Some more elaborate logic decisions may also be needed to improve the

TAC rejection of ambiguous situations.

95

Page 90: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

The present exercise is intended to familiarise people with theprinciples of TIME INTERVAL-TO-AMPLITUDE CONVERSION, although accurate inits basic functions, it lacks some of the auxiliary logic decisions.Circuit description

The input section of the TAG differs from the flip-flop structureoutlined in Fig. E.2 for two reasons. One is that to increase theversatility, an input configuration was chosen which not only enables theexperimenter to convert into amplitude a TIME INTERVAL, but also the WIDTHof a PULSE. With this circuit associated with a multichannel analyser thewidth of a rectangular signal can be measured with high accuracy. Thesecond reason why the classical approach based upon flip-flop was abandonedis that in the configuration adopted here, the reset operations after ameasurement are implemented in a much simpler way. The basic circuitdiagram of the TAC is shown in Fig. E.3.

The TAG requires that the START and STOP signals be negative pulses, 10yus long and with a 0.5 V minimum amplitude. The circuit measures the TIMEINTERVAL between the NEGATIVE GOING EDGES of start and stop signals. If thecircuit has to be employed in a real experiment and the timing triggers, aswas assumed so far, deliver very narrow pulses, these pulses must bereshaped by two monostable multivibrators with about 10 /us characteristicduration. For the planned laboratory exercise, this will not be necessary,as the tests will be made using one or two synchronized artificial pulsegenerators, whose widths can easily be adjusted to the required value.

The working principle of the circuit of Fig. E.3 is as follows. Theanalog comparator has the non inverting input biased at 400 mV, while theinverting input is connected to ground via a resistor.

OUT

Fig. E.3 Basic circuit diagram of TAG

96

Page 91: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

The start and stop signals are applied to respectively non invertingand inverting input through decoupling capacitors of large value. In thestanding state, therefore, the comparator output is at the logic level HIGHand this keeps S^ open and S2 closed. The switch 83 is open in thestanding state. The current I is diverted to ground and the voltage acrossC remains close to zero thanks to the resistor R in parallel.

When the START signal is received and provided that its amplitudeexceeds the threshold, about 500 mV, the comparator switches. Its outputdrops to logic LOW with the effect of closing 8^ and opening 82 whileS3 still remains open. The current I is steered into C and the linearramp is generated.

When the STOP signal is applied at the inverting input the originalcondition in which the non inverting input of the comparator was at a highervoltage than the inverting one is restored. The comparator output switchesback to logic HIGH, 8^ opens and 82 closes. The current I gets divertedto ground again and C remains charged at the voltage reached when theNEGATIVE GOING EDGE of the STOP SIGNAL was applied.

The delay generator is activated by the LOW-TO-HIGH transition in thecomparator output. At the end of the delay interval, a short positive pulseshaped by the differentiator closes 83 and this resets the charge on thecapacitor. The voltage across C is taken by a low input current buffer andmade available at low impedance for further processing.

The circuit of Fig. E.3 differs from that of Fig. E.2 in the structureof the input section, which employs a comparator rather than a flip-flop;other differences are of minor importance. The linear ramp generation, thecapacitor reset and the output signal buffering are identical in bothcircuits of Figs. E.2 and E.3.

The use of a comparator at the input extends the application of thecircuit to the case in which the width of a pulse, rather than the timeinterval between pulses, has to be converted into an equivalent amplitude.The pulse whose width has to be measured must be sent to the START input andno signal must be sent to the STOP input.

The detailed circuit diagram of the TAC is shown in Fig. E.4.The input comparator is realized with the monolithic circuit K (L710).The second L710, labelled K2 implements the delay generator.

Transistor T2 is the constant generator and 8^, 82, 83 controlits state, enabling or disabling the generation of the linear ramp.

C is the capacitor across which the linear ramp develops when thecollector current T2 is turned ON. The transistor 13 implements thefunction of reset switch. The standing condition of the circuit ofFig. E.4 is the following one.

The output of K! is at logic HIGH, therefore the voltage at node 0 isabout +3V.

Transistor T^ is ON.The voltage at node F is about 2.3 V.The diode 82 is reverse biased.The collector current of Tj^ is 1 mA.This current cannot be entirely supplied by the 8.2 k resistor

connected between the node E and the positive supply voltage. Therefore the

The voltageat node H, output voltage is slightly positive. Dynamically the circuitworks in the following way.

The START signal, which must be of a negative polarity, with anamplitude exceeding 0.5 V and a width larger than 10 us switches K^.The output jumps to a slight negative voltage, about 500 mV inmagnitude. As a consequence T^ is turned OFF* because its emitter isclamped to -700 mV by the diode 82- Diode 82 becomes reverse biasedand T2 is turned ON. The emitter current of Ï2 is given by:

12 V - (12 V - 4.7 V) -V,BE = 0.5mA8.2

This current, flowing into C charges it linearly.appears at the output.

A voltage ramp

The HIGH-TO-LOW step which appears at node 0 is transmitted as anegative short spike to the inverting input of &2 by the 47 pFdifferentiating capacitor. This spike has no effect, for it goes on thealready negative non inverting input.

98

Page 93: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

Suppose that now the STOP signal, again negative in polarity, morethan 0.5 V in amplitude and more that 10 us in width is applied at theappropriate input. The comparator output quickly switches to the logicHIGH back again. T^ is turned ON, it brings P into conduction and T2goes OFF,

The collector current of T2 stops flowing and C remains charged atthe voltage close to the one stored when the STOP signal was applied.

The spike induced at the inverting input of K2 by the LOW-TO-HIGHstep at node 0 differentiated by the 47 pF capacitor triggers thecomparator K2> which is connected as a monostable multivibrator.A negative rectangular signal, about 3.5 V in amplitude appears at nodeL, which is transmitted differentiated to node I. The negative spike atI has no effect. The positive one drives T3 into heavy conduction,thus discharging C until Tg saturates and the voltage across C is resetto zero. As soon as the driving positive spike on the base of Tß isover, the circuit is ready for a new operation.

Send a negative signal with an amplitude of 0.5 V and a width of 10/us to the STOP input. Nothing must happen in the circuit.Send the same signal to the START input.

If everything works correctly, check the linearity of the TAG bysending to the START input ten different values of the START PULSE width.The values of pulse width recommended are:

I/us, 2 /as, 3 ,us, 4 AIS, 5/is, 6 /us, 7/is, 8 /is, 9 /us, 10 /is.

Measure these widths with the highest possible accuracy using the 1/us/div time scale of the scope. Measure with the scope the final amplitudeof the pulse at node H. Plot the output amplitude as a function of theSTART signal. The resulting diagram should be linear.

Having tested the TAG in the PULSE WIDTH measuring mode, you can testit now in the TIME INTERVAL MEASURING MODE.

For this application, use two generators synchronized in the way shownin Fig. E.6 to obtain start and stop pulses and connect them to theappropriate inputs in the circuit.

Once linearity is checked, calibrate your TAC by using delay lines ofaccurately known delays and a single pulse generator, according to thediagram of Fig. E.7

As the TAC has already been checked for linearity, two values of delayswill suffice for the calibration. Represent on a linear scale the channelnumbers corresponding to the two values of delay. Join the two points soobtained with a straight line. This gives the calibration curve of the TAG.

Go back again to the two synchronized generators of Fig. E.6, fix avalue of delay between start and stop around about 3 AIS and measure itaccurately using the MCA and the previously obtained calibration curve.

CORRECT USE OF LOGIC GATES

Objective; Introducing the correct use of logic gates, understandingthe driving requirements and becoming familiar with the characteristics oftwo of the widely employed logic families.

IntroductionAttention will here be limited to CMOS and the TTL families. CMOS has

three main features. First, the power dissipation of a CMOS gate isextremely SMALL in the standing state. Secondly, it can be used by changingin a broad range the voltages that respectively define logic 0 and logic 1.Thirdly, if negligible current is drained out or injected into the gate, theoutput level coincides with the two power supplies.

TTL is important as a family not only because of the extremely broadrange of circuits it makes available to the designer, but also because ithas given origin to a number of subfamilies, like the low power (L), theSchottky (hot carrier diode damped for fast operation), low power Schottkywhich combines the features of the two previous families, the H or highspeed TTL.

Correct use of CMOS and TTL families requires not only a knowledge oftheir characteristic logic levels, but also being aware of the drivingconditions and output current capabilities of the basic gate of eachfamily. This turns out to be especially important when simple interfacesbetween the two families have to be designed.

The basic characteristics of the CMOS family and those of the TTLfamilies are summarized in the following pages.

As you can see, the input of the SN 7400 HAND Gate is connected to thevirtual ground of an operational amplifier, that is, to an almost idealcurrent input. The voltage at the inverting terminal of the operationalamplifier is equal to the voltage set at the non inverting input by thepotentiometer P. By changing the potentiometer setting in steps of 500 mV,determine the behaviour of:

EXPERIMENT 13

DIGITAL SETTING OF AMPLIFIER GAIN

Objective; To demonstrate the principle upon which the gain of afeedback amplifier can be digitally preset. The amplifier that will berealized has only two possible values of the programmable gain, and this wasdone for the sake of simplicity. However, the principle can easily beextended to a larger number of gain values,

IntroductionSeveral applications in the field of data acquisition require

amplifiers for which the gain can be preset for instance by a computerinstruction, or more generally, by applying a digital word to the gaincontrol input.

In the present circuit, which is a feedback configuration obtained froman operational amplifier in the non inverting connection, the gain ischanged by switching the feedback return ratio.

A single bit word in this case selects the desired value of the gain.The principle is shown in Fig. 13.1.

The gain selecting bit is applied to the input BQ.Assume BQ. at first at logic 0, BQ = 0V.The transistor T^ will be ON, as the output of the logic driver

SN 7407 is low and the collector current of T^ flowing into diode D±keeps T2 conducting and 13 off. The collector current of Î2 flowingacross the resistor R maintains J2 in the open-circuit condition.Therefore the feedback path around the operational amplifier consists of thefield-effect transistor J^ - 100 K resistor series, connecting theoutput of the amplifier to its inverting input and of a 10 K resistor fromthis input to ground. Neglecting the ON resistance of J, the system has aclosed-loop gain of about 11.

Suppose now BQ raised to logic 1. T^ is turned off and along withT! also diode D1 goes off. The transistor T3 is now ON, and T2 isOFF. As no collector current flows across R, the JFET ^2 becomes a shortcircuit. The gain of the system, neglecting the ON resistance of thefield-effect is determined by the ratio:

If in both cases the values shown in the circuit are reproduced with anacceptable degree of tolerance, send a signal of about 100 mV and check thevalues of the gain, by setting the gain selecting bit to logic 0 and then tologic 1.

Apply then a dc level of 100 mV to the amplifier input and send asquare wave signal passing from OV to + 5V, then again to OV and so forth,with a period of 1 ms. Look at the waveform at the amplifier OUTPUT, andverify that the output is a square wave periodically switching between 250mV and 1.1V.

EXPERIMENT F

FLIP-PLOPS. COUNTERS AND DISPLAYS

Objective; Demonstrating the properties of flip-flops and becomingacquainted with their uses in counting circuits; assembling a complete 4digit sealer, with input circuitry and display, using a large scaleintegration counter as a building block..

IntroductionThe SR Flip-flopA SR flip-flop can easily be build from NAND gates as shown in

Fig. F.I. If a positive pulse (corresponding to logic state 1) is appliedto point S the flip-flop is set to state 1 (defined as the state in whichQ = 1); it remains in this state when the pulse ends; further signals onpoint S have no effect on the flip-flop state. If, instead the pulses areapplied to point R then the flip-flop is reset to state Q = 0.

Fig. F.I. Flip-flop constructed from NAND gatesIn most digital circuits it is necessary that flip-flops be allowed to

change state only at certain times, defined by a clock pulse. You caneasily implement an appropriate circuit by a simple modification to theprevious one, as shown in Fig. 2. The S and R inputs are the controlvariables and for reliable operation of the circuit they should bepositioned at the required states BEFORE the Clock (Ck) pulse arrives. Thevalue of the Q output AFTER the n1-*1 clock pulse will be designated byQn+1* ^ou can experimentally verify that the circuit operates accordingto the following table.

The question mark means that with S = R = 1 the value Qn+i isambiguous, that is, it may either be 0 or 1 depending randomly on which gateis able to respond first; the control S = R = 1 is never to be used.

The JK Flip-flopThe JK flip-flop obeys the following table.J

It is seen that this table extends the table of the RS flip-flop (Jcorresponding to S, K to R) by acquiring a definite output whenJ= K = 1, namely Qn+1 = Qn.

You can build a flip-flop obeying the above table by using two SRflip-flops (Fig. F.2) and an inverter; this is shown in Fig. F.3. Thevarious gates respond to low-to-high (from state 0 to state 1)transitions. Because of the inversion of the clock pulse by inverter I,RS-2 responds to a high-to-low transition of the clock pulse. This isillustrated in Fig. F.4.

" S - 1 " S - 2

Fig. F.3 JK flip-flop

Fig. F.4 Pulse sequence in a JK flip-flop

At the low-to-high transition of the Ck pulse RS-1 is actuated, andits state is transmitted to RS-2 at the high-to-low transition of the clockpulse. Such a flip-flop is called a master-slave flip-flop.

Counter DisplaysWhen flip-flops are used to build counters it is convenient to be

able to read their contents visually. This may be done with LEDs usingsuitable codes. The simplest from the hardware point of view is to readin a binary code; a LED is connected to the Q output of each flip-flopand is lit when Q = 1.

A most common code pertains to the 7-segment display. If a counteris built as a decade counter the flip-flops are organized in groups of 4and each of these groups counts from 0 to decimal 9; the counter isorganized in a binary coded decimal (BCD) way. The binary information onthe stored number, contained in the values QQ to Qß, must then becoded in such a way that the appropriate LED segments (Fig. F.5) are litto form a number. For example if QQ = Q2 = Qa = 0 and QI = 1(decimal number 2) then the segments labelled a, b, g, e, d are lit.There are integrated circuits which convert from one code to the other(from BCD to 7-segment); we will use them in the experiment to follow.

Fig. F.5 Segments of a LED display

Experiment1. Assemble the circuit of an R-S flip-flop according to the schematics in

Fig. F.2 above and verify its truth table.2. Verify the truth table and observe the time relation between the clock

and output pulses of a 74LS73 or 74C73 master-slave JK flip-flop.

113

Page 106: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

3. Assemble the circuit shown in Fig. F. 6. These flip-flops are connectedto form a binary 4-bit counter. Observe its operation by looking tothe clock pulses on channel A and to the various Q outputs on channel B(it may be necessary to slightly adjust the generator frequency toobtain a stable display on channel B if the triggering is made throughchannel A). Draw a time diagram showing what you observe.The gate (74LS10 or 74C10) may be used to clear the flip-flops.Because the Cl input of the 74LS73 is active low, the flip-flops willbe cleared i f A = B = C = l . Thus the counter can be cleared when acertain count has been attained if the inputs A, B, C of the gate areconnected to the appropriate Q outputs. For example, to return to zeroafter the 7th pulse the gate inputs are to be connected to the 22,2^ and 2° flip-flops. The signal out of gate G2 may then go toanother counter, which will count 1 for every 7 clock pulses. Trydivision by other numbers (5 and 10 for example).

5. observe the operation of a BCD to 7 segment decoder by connecting asuitable decoder to a decade (say the 74LS48 if you are using a TTLdecoder or MM74C48 if you are using a CMOS decade).

6. You are now going to assemble a complete four decade counter with a 4digit display. The two main blocks of the counter are an LSIintegrated circuit MM74C925 and a four LED integrated display NSB.Internally the 925 (Fig. F.7) has 4 decade counters, each one connected

to a 4-bit memory (latch); these latches are sequentially connected to asingle BCD to 7-segment decoder by a multiplexing circuit, which also setsthe state 1 to one of four output control lines. The 7 segment output linesare connected to four common-cathode LED digits in parallel, as shown in thecomplete schematics of Fig. F.8. The digit that is lit is the one for whichthe control line is in state 1. The oscillator that advances themultiplexing circuit, and thus the output control lines, is also internal tothe 925 and has a frequency of 1 kHz; to the human eye the digits appear tobe simultaneously lit.

The circuit diagram of Fig. F.8 also shows an input gate to the signalsto be counted and its control (either manual or through a level applied atthe control input) and another gate that may be used to strobe the internallatches of the 925 counter (if unused the latches are always enabled).

Use the strobe input to freeze the display while the sealer is counting.The circuit you have assembled is limited in count rate to about 2 MHz;

if you need a higher count rate capability you may insert a fast decadeafter the input gate, and display that decade independently. The output ofthe decade then goes (directly or inverted as appropriate) to the 925 clockinput.

VOLTAGE TO FREQUENCY CONVERTER

Objective; The operation of a VCO is studied and the relation betweenthe frequency of the output voltage and the input voltage is measured.

IntroductionA voltage to frequency converter (VFC) is made by connecting the

already existing circuits explained in small exercises (Integrated withReset, Discriminator and Univibrator). The block diagram of the VFC isgiven in Fig. 14.1. When the constant input voltage Vj is applied to theinput of the integrator the resulting output voltage VQ will be:

V0 = -Vjt/rwhere T is the integrator time constant,t = RC.

The voltage Vo is inspected by the discriminator set at Vref .Therefore at the discriminator output, low to high state transition resultswhen Vref is exceeded by Vo. It will be reached in the figure T = <v

By this transition the Univibrator is triggered. In order to get theadequate pulse for the integrator reset (0 for discharge, and -12 V duringthe integration), the Univibrator is operating between the 0 and -12V supplyvoltage. After the time T, the integrator is reset and the Univibratorpulse is finished. Then the integration starts again and the describedcycle is repeated. The higher the input voltage the greater will be thenumbers of cycles per second, i.e. the frequency.

ExperimentConnect circuits into the loop and observe the operation of the VFC

with the applied negative voltage input Vj . Change the reference voltagevref initially set at 5 V and explain results. With the grounded inputthe expected resulting frequency is zero. Set the zero control tr impôt forthe best output voltage.

Explain why you can't use the positive input voltage also. Observesignals at the output of integrator, discriminator and Univibrator and drawthe quantitative pictures (voltage and time marks included) .

Measure the frequency of the output signals at different input voltagesand represent results graphically. Consider the influence of the resetpulse duration on the VFC linearity.

EXPERIMENT 15

SAMPLE AND HOLD

Objective: Properties of the sample and hold circuit areillustrated. Some parameters important for its operation are discussed andcompared with the observations.

IntroductionA sample and hold circuit takes samples of the input voltage when the

control pulse is applied and keeps it until the next control pulse arrives.The input - output relation of the circuit is illustrated in Fig. 15.1. Itsoperation is achieved by charging the capacitor C through the analog switchS as illustrated in Fig. 15.2a.. The voltage across capacitor C follows thevoltage VQ switch S is closed and remains constant when open. Of course,the output voltage Vj cannot be used without being changed due to thecurrent taken out from the capacitor during the observation. By selecting alarge C the performance of the sample and hold circuit could be improved.In this case, however, the output voltage V0 could not follow the inputvoltage during the fast sampling due to the finite switch resistance Rsthrough which the capacitor is charged.

To avoid the use of the large capacitor, the voltage follower is added(Fig. 15.2b). When using LF 356 the current taken out from C does notexceed 10~10A, and the output current capability is 25 inA.

It will be interesting to estimate the characteristics of this circuitassuming the 5 V voltage across a 10 nF capacitor with the switch S opened.In this case the voltage drop due to the amplifier bias current taken outfrom the capacitor will be l mV in 1 sec. If the analog switch contained inCD 4066 is used, the corresponding time constant determining the circuittime response will be R2C = 300.10~8s = 3 /is. The sample pulse durationshould not be smaller than 5 RC. This will reduce the relative differencebetween the input and the output voltage at the beginning of the samplepulse to less than 10~ . In our case this amounts to 15 us. Thepractical circuit is drawn in Fig. 15.3.

Fig. 15.3: Sample and hold practical circuitBy the newly introduced components, two improvements are achieved. By

using the second semiconductor switch S2 the influence of the capacitivecoupling of the sampling signal on the output signal is compensated. Inaddition, when switches S1 and 82 are open, the same current is takenfrom the equally valued capacitors C^ and €2, and therefore the effectof the bias current is compensated. For the output voltage drift only thedifference between bias currents, called the offset current is responsible.This makes the output voltage drift in general 10 times smaller.

The operating voltage of the quad analog switch CD 4066 is limited to15 V and therefore the +12/-12 V supply voltages are reduced to 7,5/-7,5 Vby using 3 points voltage regulators 78 L05 and 79 L05. The control inputfor logical switches, also sensitive to voltages beyond the supply voltagerange, is protected by two additional small signal diodes. The CD 4066control signal input connected to the logical low state makes switchesnormally open.

ExperimentsThe printed circuit board should be equipped with a socket for easier

interchange of operational amplifiers LF 356 and LH 318.Connect a sinusoidal signal of few V amplitude and 1 kHz frequency to

the input of the assembled circuit and observe the input and output voltagesimultaneously. Then connect the sample input to the V^ voltage to makeswitches conductive. The output will follow the input voltage but it willremember the input voltage at the moment of dis-connecting the control input from V^. Write the values of 50 sequentialreadings and plot their height distribution. Can you explain the result?What is the expected result if the rectangular voltage is sampled?

Apply periodic pulses of the frequency 1 kHz and duration of 10 us tothe control input and adjust their amplitude to get the adequate logicsignals at the gate of the CD 4066 switches.

Apply a sinusoidal or triangular voltage signal to the analog input andobserve output if the sampling frequency is very close to the signalfrequency. By using this technique the fast signals can be converted intothe slower sinusoidal signals. The observed effect is called thestroboscopic effect. Try to explain it.

Connect the constant voltage to the analog input and observe outputvoltages. Decrease the frequency of the strobed pulses from 1 kHz to a fewHz and compare observations made with LF 356 and LM 318. Estimate the inputoffset currents for both amplifiers.

Objective: To study the principle of operation of a Wilkinson ADC usedin nuclear spectroscopy.

IntroductionThe function of the ADC in a nuclear system is to convert the pulse

height into a binary number proportional to it.We will deal in this experiment with the Wilkinson type ADC which has

as an outstanding characteristic: an excellent differential linearity.The experimental version of ADC to be studied in the laboratory

converts a D.C. level into an eight bit binary number. The block diagram isshown in Fig. G.I.

In this way the following situations occur:Capacitor CA is at input potential V|

The actions which take place as a consequence of the switches changingare;

Capacitor CA is isolated from the input and connected to theconstant current source.

- The constant current source is disconnected from the +15V supplyand starts a linear discharge of capacitor CA.

At the same time the control unit sends a logic "1" to the three inputAND gate. Observe that the comparator output is also at high level as thecapacitor voltage is positive. As a consequence, the clock pulses entersinto the counter.

Upon reaching the instant t2, when the capacitor is completelydischarged, the comparator output goes to logical "0" and the counter stopscounting.

The number of clock pulses accumulated are proportional to the timeinternal between t^ and ^2 which in turn is proportional to the pulseheight. See Fig. G.2.

DIGITAL SWITCHES

Objective: Familiarization with switches and debuncing.

Introduction

The three commonly used digital switches are the electrical, the optoand the Hall switches.

Electrical switchesThe two familiar versions are the so-called Single pole single throw

(SPST) and single pole double throw (SPOT) switches shown below.

SPST ——— SPDT

Fig. 16.1 SPST and SPOT

Both of them can be used for the generation of the two possible logiclevels as shown in Fig. 16.2.

+ 5V 4K7 OUT rf5

~ OUTIFig. 16.2 Logic levels generated by SPST and SPOT switches

These switches should never be used as the source of logic pulses, bymomentarily activating them. A mechanical switch is always bouncing afterthe first contact has been made, and one gets an unpredictable sequence ofpulses instead of one.

In the case of an SPOT switch, one can get rid of the bouncing effectwith the use of the following simple circuitry.

In this scheme the two NAND gates form a flip-flop. To set the Qoutput HIGH, one has to ground S. Due to bouncing, the point S getsfloating and grounded repeatedly, but the HIGH state of the output point Qdoes not change. To reset the Q output to LOW, point R has to be grounded.The bouncing of the switch will not influence the low level of the output Qin this case either.

This is the appropriate circuit if one wants to generate not onlystanding logic levels but also a predictable number of pulses. The numberof the activation of the switch here equals to the number of pulsesgenerated.

Opto and Hall SwitchesSwitches are activated manually or mechanically. If you do not want to

interfere manually or you do not want to build complex mechanisms to changea logic level, then you have to use opto or Hall switches.

Both are up to date, low cost monolithic integrated circuits with threepins. Two of them are for power supply (GND and +5V), the third is the opencollector output point. The output transistor conducts if the light flux ormagnetic flux density reaches a certain level in the opto or Hall switch,respectively.

Both switches have a built in hysteresis, i.e. the switching point isnot the same for increasing or decreasing excitation which provides forunambiguous or non-oscillatory switching. Hence they might be used not onlyfor level but for pulse generation as well. In addition, the necessarymechanisms to activate such switches are much simpler (a shutter of light orthe proximity of a magnet) than in the case of mechanical switches.

Experiments:1. Check the switching properties of the opto and Hall switches, followingthe diagrams in Fig. 16.4

2. Check their transfer characteristics showing hysteresis (see Fig. 16.5)3. Tape Reader

POWER DRIVERS

Objective; Familiarization with high-current drivers as frequentlyused in measurement or industrial control.

Introduction;The outputs of the digital systems are some logic levels.These outputs can never supply (sink or source) more than a few

milliamperes. Such a small current is not enough to activate high powerdevices - relays, ventils, motors - to be controlled by logic or computersystems. One needs some power drivers.

Darlington TransistorsTwo kinds of dc drivers are in use today. The more classic, is the

so-called Darlington pair built by two bipolar transistors as shown inFig. 17.1

IE

Fig. 17.1 Darlington pair

It behaves like a single transistor with beta equal to the product ofthe two transistor beta's.

Darlington transistors are available as single or multiple packages.A typical example for the first is the npn power Darlington 2N 6285

with current gain of 4000 at a collector current of 10 Amps.An example for the Darlington arrays is the ULN 2003A dual in-line

package (Sprague) with seven monolithic devices inside. The devicesfeature open collector outputs and integral diodes for inductive loadtransient suppression. The Darlington transistors are capable of sinking400 mA each and will sustain at least 30V in the off state. The outputsare suitable for use with relays, solenoids, stepping motors, LEDs orincandescent displays and other high power loads.

1. ExperimentActivate an electromagnetic relay (12V, 300 mA) with a ULN 2003A if

the two conditions A and B are met simultaneously, i.e. if both are atHIGH level (Fig. 17.2).

Substitute the relay with other useful devices (LED, incandescentcar-lamp, etc.). Remember that the seven printing needles of a commonmatrix printer are driven with such a single ULN 2003A 1C.

Power MOSFET transistorPower MOSFET transistors capable of high voltage and current levels

have recently become available. These devices go by names such as VMOSand HEXFET. They can handle surprisingly high voltages and currents.The industry standard IRF 350 device capable of 11 Amps maximum draincurrent, 350 V maximum drain-source voltage and 0.3 ohm maximum onresistance. The power MOSFET is a natural device when interfacing fromlow-power logic such as CMOS.

logic gate as shown in Fig. 17.3.

Solid State RelaysTo turn on or off very high power (220V, 25 A) ac motors or other

devices, one should use semiconductor relays. They include a triac asthe ac current switch, and the triac is controlled through optocouplersby logic levels.

DRIVING OF STEPPING MOTORS

Objective: Familiarization with stepper drivers

Introduction:We are going to use a four-phase stepping motor type AMA 12.4

manufactured by SODECO-SAIA with the following specification:VoltageCurrentStepping angleRotation torqueHolding torqueCurrentless torqueMax. stepping frequencyDimensionPrice $ 25.

12 V170 mA (each coil)15°1.5 Ncm3 Ncm0.3 Ncm200 Hz052 x 28 mm

The stepping motor is driven by the excitation of its four coils in aproper sequence. One end of the four coils is common and has to beconnected to the positive pole of a 12 V power supply whose negative polehas been grounded.

To drive the motor the other end of the coils should be consecutivelygrounded by the use of switching transistors (Darlington, MOSFET's) oneby one or - to achieve some higher torque-two by two.

Let us denote the coils according to the Fig. 18.1.

Fig. 18.1 A stepping motor

BLACK BLACK YELLOW

To drive the motor clockwise first for instance CO has to be excited(i.e. the wire of yellow colour grounded) then, Cl, C2, C3, CO, Cl, etc.To drive the motor coounter clockwise the sequence of coil excitations isas follows: CO, C3, C2, Cl, CO, C3, etc.

The subject of the following experiments is the construction ofsimple logic systems for the generation of the above sequences.

135

Page 124: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

For a given stepping motor requiring 12 V supply each coil takes 170mA to be fully excited. This current is too high to be sourced or sunkenby a TTL circuit. The maximal sink current of an open collector TTL gateis 16 mA. It is not enough to provide the nominal torque, but anyhow themotor will rotate nevertheless. Hence at the beginning we shall usesimple open collector TTL circuits for the driving of the motor and willapply only later the appropriate and powerful Darlington transistors.

Experiment1. Stepper driver logic

To generate the proper switching sequences required by a steppingmotor one has to build a two-stage binary counter and simply decode itscontent as shown below in Fig. 18.2.

One can change the direction of the rotation by connecting CLK1 to QOinstead of QO with a jumper. But such a change needs manualintervention. We do not like that, because it does not allow itself tobe automated (a computer cannot change the position of a jumper).

We can insert, however, a simple logic scheme in place of the dottedbox in the middle as shown in Fig. 18.3.

After substituting the jumper by this circuit then some controller(computer) easily can send a HIGH level to the DIRECTION INPUT to getclock-wise rotation or a LOW level to get counter clockwise rotation.

The sequence of clock pulses led to the CLKO input might be generatedeither manually or by a controlling (computer) system. The number ofpulses will define the rotation angle. With the given motor and with theuse of this scheme, 24 clock pulses generate a full resolution (one step= 15°).

TRISTATE BUFFERS AND BUSES

Objective; To demonstrate the use of tristate buffers

Introduction:In more advanced digital systems (for example, in computers), the

signal lines - called bus lines, i.e. the simple wires used for theconnection of the various subsystems - can be fed with logic levels bymore than one device, but - and this is the point to remember well -never simultaneously.

To achieve this, all the outputs to be connected to the common buslines have to be let through some special enabling/disablingtransmitters, called tristate buffers (Fig. 19.1).

BUFFERS l^//.ti 9—V

Fig. 19.1 Tristate buffers arrangement

Because the bus lines are shared, we always have to have a controller- in computer systems it is an intrinsic part of the processor - whichcontrols the various possible transmitters, enabling only one of them tobe active. The others should be in disabled states, meaning that theiroutput float, as if they were connected to the common signal line throughsome insulator. This insulator is in fact a semiconductor element builtin the tristate buffer, which is controlled in such cases to behave likea break, effectively like an insulator. Alternatively, being enabled, itbehaves like a conductor.

Note, that TS (tristate) buffers are required only if one writes(transmits) to the bus. No similar precautions are needed if a deviceonly reads the state of the bus. In the dedicated computer components(microprocessors, memory) the tristate buffers are built in on themonolithic device itself. But separate TS buffers are required if youconnect (interface) some external devices to the system.

The tristate buffer is a special digital component whose output inits disabled state is neither LOW, nor HIGH (as would be expected from awell behaved digital output) but floats, as if it were insulated or inother words in a high impedance state. Due to this third state is calledsuch a special transmitter is called tristate or TS buffer.

SHAFT ENCODERS

Objective; To demonstrate how to use digital systems for physicalmeasurements.

Introduction:The most elementary physical observable is the length, or distance,

or displacement. If we learn how to design digital systems to measurethe momentary value of such a variable, then we can measure the value ofany other physical variable, assuming that it lets itself be transformed- with some appropriate device called transducer - to a displacement.

The temperature can be transfored with a bimetal as a transducer, theforce with a spring as the transducer, the electrical current and voltagewith a moving coil meter as a transducer. We shall be in a position tomeasure any physical quantities if we solve the problem of measuring thedisplacement itself digitally.

It is not a narrow-minded objective! Remember: we want to measureeverything digitally. Which means automatically, because if a quantityappears once in a digital form, then it easily lets itself be read - orloaded rather - into a register and into a computer from there. Thus notonly you personally - with your visual, mental, physical and other humanability - but the computer will be the one that can derive consequencesof the measured quantity and can interfere in the process of eventswhenever the measured value of a variable requires that. Of course therequirements will be given always by you, now in the role of a programmeror even as a systems designer - but the dull procedure of monotonousmeasurements, visual readouts, arithmetical comparisons (judgement on thenecessity of intervention) all will be done ceaselessly and tirelessly bythe computer. And we can relax at last. The duty to tranlate thedisplacement into a sequence of digital pulses, is the task of shaftencoders.

ABSOLUTE SHAFT ENCODER

The absolute shaft encoder is a transparent disc with a sequence ofcodes painted on it (Fig. 20.1). One code stretches radially across theconcentric extends predefined tracks and the consecutive ones are shiftedangularly as shown below (here with binary codes on four tracks)

If we apply four optoswitches arranged radially at radiicorresponding to each track, then we can read out the angular position ofthe disc right in digital form (or representation) if the disc isilluminated from behind.

There is, however, an intricate problem you would encounter at oncetrying to use this trivial binary coded disc for real measurements. Youwould notice some striking uncertainties in certain readouts. To explainthat, let us choose that position of the disc when the array ofoptoswitches is showing the binary code 0111. Rotating the discclockwise, the next readout should be 1000. But unfortunately it willnot be, at least not unambiguously, because when the array is crossing

143

13

11

10

6 g Fig. 20.1 Shaft encoder

the line which separates the codes 0111 and 1000 almost anything canhappen. If, for example, the optoswitch corresponding to the MSB (mostsignificant bit) is a little bit more sensitive than the rest of them,then it could switch over to 1 earlier than the other ones switch over to0. Hence in this example for a short period of the motion, we can easilyobtain the bit pattern 1111 instead of the expected 1000, i.e. 15 decimalinstead of 8 after the value 7. That would be a serious shortcoming ofour device, which we would not in any case tolerate.

To solve the problem one should use the more tricky GRAY code insteadof the trivial binary one on the disc. In the case of the GRAY codesystem, only a single bit changes the bit pattern proceeding from oneposition in the disc to the next one. Hence the uncertainty can never bemore than +1 position, which is anyway tolerable.

The two code systems are shown stretched out into a linear format inthe Fig. 20.2.

Having agreed upon the better suitability of the GRAY code systems,the question remains as to how we should interpret its readings, i.e. howcould we transform its bit patterns to the ones corresponding to thebinary code systems we were used to.

Logic networks implemented by digital gates help again, as nowadays -due to their permissive low prices - in almost everything.

Using a proper network of exclusive - OR (EOR) gates the task iseasily solved as shown in the Fig. 20.2, below the pictorial code systemsreferred. By the way, another network of EOR's is shown on the left sideas well, for the reverse transformation by which one can implement thatlogic algorithm which generates the GRAY code sequences from the binaryrepresentation of the natural numbers.

Experiment1. Wire up the logic network as shown in Fig. 20.2 using two 7486

quad-EOR 1C's and connect it to the outputs of the 8-track GRAY codeencoder. Connect a LED array to the outputs of the EOR gates toindicate the angular position of the shaft encoder in the usualbinary form.

2. Fix a pulley on the shaft and throwing a string over it with someloads at both end simulate the control rod position measurement of anuclear reactor. Keep in mind that the reading of the binary outputswill be carried out with a computer in a later experiment.Notice that the pulley is a transducer which transforms the lineardisplacement of the rod to the angular displacement of the shaftencoder.

3. Find out and build on another transducer which - after some refine-ment perhaps - can be useful in your everyday work.

INCREMENTAL SHAFT ENCODER

An absolute shaft encoder uses many precisely aligned optoswitches -therefore its price is not low enough.

One can more easily afford a so-called incremental shaft encoderwhich includes only one (or two) optoswitches pointed to the single trackof a simpler disc. Along the single track of this simple disc there areequidistant opaque and transparent stripes. Rotating the shaft pulseswill be generated in the optoswitch. Connecting a counter one candigitally follow the rotation of the disc.

But this device is not able to distinguish between the two possibledirections of the rotation. The content of the counter connectedincreases always irrespective of the direction.

To distinguish between the two directions - and control an UP/DOWNcounter accordingly - one needs a second optoswitch shifted along thetrack with a quarter grid length. You can follow on a time diagram theoutputs of the two switches called A and B for the cases of the twodirections:

OUTPUT PORTS

Objective; Familiarization with the design and application ofcomputer output ports.

IntroductionIf we want to use our computer - apart from other chores - as a

controller of various external equipment, first of all an INTERFACE hasto be built from which the wires carrying signals (i.e. bit patterns,e.g. codes for commands) can be led to the equipment to be controlled.

A universal computer has not any specific connector for your allconceivable and unique equipment. However, if it really is a universalcomputer (and not some kind of desk calculator) then it must have atleast one multipin connector through which one can be connected to thesystem bus which is in fact an extension of the pins of themicroprocessor itself.

The interface is a specific logic device to be built by us (now inthe role of a system designer) through which the computer (or rather itssystem bus) can be connected to the specific equipment to be controlled.

The simplest version of an interface is an output port. The outputport is a registrer (usually 8 bit wide) whose inputs are hookedpermanently to the data lines (Data Bus) of the computer and the outputsto the external equipment to be controlled. That is all. Almost.

149

Page 135: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

The only complication which needs some circuit design comes when weare going to generate a LOAD (or STROBE) pulse for this register. Thenthe relevant question is: what time or rather at which condition shouldwe load the quickly varying content of the databus into our register.The right answer is: then and only then if the computer executes an OUTinstruction inserted in the code sequence by some purpose.

The full format of an OUT instruction isOUT PORT ADDRESS, DATA

If the processor executes this instruction, then (and only then)does it put out the DATA specified in the instruction on the DATA Bus,the PORT ADDRESS on the ADDRESS Bus and in addition it asserts two of itsdozen control lines. One of them is IORQ(Input/Output Request) by whichit informs the external world that the address currently on the systembus should be interpreted by_ the I/O devices (and not by the memory).The second of them is the WR (Write) line by which it informs theexternal world that onto the DATA Bus the processor enables someinformation (DATA in our example) through its internal tristate buffersand the external device addressed should strobe in that data.

Hence first the simultaneous occurrence of IORQ and WR~ has to bechecked. A simple OR gate (74 LS 32) can be used for this job whoseoutput signal will be called OUT.

Then the PORT ADDRESS (assigned arbitrarily to the given port by us,now in the example is 3) should be decoded to obtain a signal called AS(Address Select).

And at last these two signals OUf and AS* should be combined in an ORgate to generate the necessary STROBE signal. The positive goingtrailing edge of this pulse will finally load the DATA into our octalregister. This register is called an output port because its outputs areaccessible by any external device.

If you find this address decoding a little bit cumbersome - comparedto the simple task of generating the signal AS in the case of addressmatching - then you are right. But one can simplify this task wheneverthe number of the external devices do not exceed sixteen, i.e. the numberof the separate address lines used for port addressing.

150

Page 136: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

In such cases we can assign such addresses to the various ports - inthe binary representation of which only one of the address lines has a 0value while all the others are 1's. The sixteen possible addresses -looking trivial in binary but rather strange in decimal representation -are as follows.

BINARY1111 1111 1111 11101111 1111 1111 11011111 1111 1111 1011

Notice that sixteen 1's in a binary register amounts to 2 -1. Ifthe j-th position is zero, then we have to subtract its contribution 2^to get the content of the register: (216-1)-2J.

The program which tabulates these specific numbers permitted forport addressing without any decoding circuit is given below.

3. Change the first line of this program to read10 LET PORT ADDRESS = 65527

and run again. There will be no effect to your input activity onthe external device (now LED's), because the current PORT ADDRESS(=65527) does not match with the address decoded by the interface(65531).

Change the wire from A£ to Aß and your system should output theDATA again.

5. Leave the previous HW (hardware) setup intact and program a lightscheduler (at Tl ON, at T2 OFF, at T3 ON etc).

6. Change the lamp with an ac motor or with any applicances around youto schedule its function.

7. Connect to the output pins PO-P3 of the output port the inputs of anULN 2003 A Darlington array, and drive the 4 coils of a steppingmotor with the following program.

Then make the following change

INPUT PORTS

Objective; Familiarization with the design and application ofcomputer input ports.

IntroductionIf we want to use our computer - besides other chores - to test the

state of some external equipment to decide on the necessity of some kindof interference via the output ports, or to read the result of somemeasurements for prompt or later uses (data collection, data logging)then we need input ports.

The input port is a tristate buffer (usually 8 bit wide) whoseoutputs are connected permanently to the data bus of the computer. Theinput lines of this buffer are connected to the external devices to sensethere the current binary levels. These external binary levels may notreach permanently the databus, therefore the tristate buffer is disabled.

It should be enabled only for that moment when the processorexecutes an IN instruction expecting the external data to appear on thedatabus which it will read at the same time from this bus.

At that specific time - or to be more correct, in that specificcycle of the execution of the IN instruction - the PORT ADDRESS will besent on the ADDRESS BUS and two of the control lines will be asserted.One of them is IOR<J (Input/Output Request) informing the external worldthat the current address on the system is for a specific I/O device (andnot for the selection of a specific memory cell). The other one is theRD (Read) line informing the external world that from the given addressthe processor is going to read the data supplied.

Hence the logic circuit needed is very similar to that one used inthe case of the output port (Fig. 22.1). The difference is that now atristate buffer (and not a register) is activated and that instead of theWR line now the RD line is combined into the similar decoding logic.

MEASUREMENT OF PHYSICAL QUANTITIES BY COMPUTER

Objective: Demonstrate how to interface an ADC to a computer

IntroductionTo measure the value of an analog physical quantity one has to

design a proper transducer which transforms this quantity to aproportional voltage level. The transformation should not necessarily belinear because doing the measurements by computer its calculating abilitymakes feasible any kind of correction.

Having the analog voltage level one can use an ADC (Analog DigitalConverter) to get the digital binary representation which can be read bya computer.

Most of the monolithic ADC's produced these days are designed foruse with microcomputers. This means, that they have built in tri statebuffers, hence one can connect their outputs directly to the data bus.These buffers become enabled if the ADC gets a LOW pulse from thecomputer.

The 8bit ADC type ADC 0801 with a conversion time of 100 ,us hasdifferential inputs so they can be used easily with measuring bridgesallowing higher accuracies

COMPUTER CONTROL OF NUCLEAR MEASUREMENT

Objective: Automate with a computer routine or dangerous measurements.

IntroductionIn a typical nuclear measurement one makes repeated readings of

radiation intensity, i.e. lets one or more counters count for a certain timeinterval, then changes something (sample holder, position of a detector)with the help of a motor and lastly plots and evaluates the collected data.

With the sufficient knowledge acquired up til now, we can easily buildthe interface required for this project. It is shown in Fig. K.I.

4. Combine the two programs properly to make a complete measurement controlprogram with a nice colour plot at last.One hint you would never find out alone: when you have the motor

connected then copying lines 50, 60 and 80 into the final version you alwayshave to add the current value of M(i) to the data output as in

50 OUT PA, 2 t 6 + M(i)

A last hint: by changing the value of d by d = -1 x d you can reversethe motion of the motor to drive it to the initial position after acomplete run.Happy debugging.

SPECIAL PROJECT I

GEIGER MUELLER RATEMETER

Objective; To assemble and test a simple ratemeter to be used witha Geiger Huiler counter.

IntroductionThe mean count rate of pulses with random distribution, which takes

place in the case of signals coming from nuclear radiation detectors, canbe measured with integrated type ratemeters, displaying the count rate byanalog representation.

The circuit (see Fig. I.I) is composed of a simple high voltagepower supply for biasing the GM counter and an integrator circuit todevelop a voltage proportional to the count rate.

The high voltage power supply is similar to the one described in thePower Supply series of this manual.

The ratemeter works as follows: each time the GM delivers a pulse,the one-shot circuit is triggered and produces a pulse having astandardized width (approx. 780 us) and 15V amplitude. A current pulseis injected into the operational amplifier feedbacked as an integratorcircuit. In equilibrium state, that is to say at constant count rate, aconstant voltage is developed at the output of the operationalamplifier. (The feedback resistor RF can be selected as Rj_, R2 orR3.)

V0 = i . RF (1)

Being i the current circulating through RF which has to be equalto the average injected current iav

'av = IT ' *W « C (2>4

where: V is the height of the pulse (15V)tw the width of the pulse (780 us)r the count rate.

From (1) and (2) results

the inverse of the count rate 1/rIn our case three different values of RF can be selected with a

switch in order to get three different scales:V. = 10V at 1000 pps then R_ = 8K2U J?VQ = 10V at 100 pps RF = 82K

and Vrt = 10V at 10 pps R_ = 820K0 r

SPECIAL PROJECT 11

SINGLE CHANNEL ANALYSER

Objective; Single channel analyser (SCA) is assembled using theprefabricated PCB and tested. Signal forms have to be measured and drawn inthe real voltage and time scale to complete the documentation.

Introduction:The SCA is a device providing the output pulse of the constant

amplitude and duration if the input accepts the pulse greater thansmaller than V} + V2.

and

The described single channel operation can be achieved by observinginput pulses with two discriminators, set at V^ and V^ + V2. If theV^ is exceeded by the input pulse then one shot providing the out- putpulse is activated. If V^ and V^ + V2 are both exceeded theactivation of the one shot is prohibited. The voltage V-± is calledusually the level, and voltage V2 is referred to as the channel width.

For more detailed operation of the SCA, Fig. II. 1 showing the SCA blockdiagram and Fig. II. 2 showing the signal forms should be used.

Instead of comparing the input signal Vj with Vlt the voltage V^is subtracted from the input signal in the differential amplifier. Theresulting voltage is compared with zero in the ZERO LEVEL DISCRIMINATOR.This comparison of the resulting voltage is made in the UPPER LEVELDISCRIMINATOR set at V2. This gives answers if the incoming pulse isgreater than V^ + V2.

With respect to the height of the input pulses three different caseswill be considered.

In the first case the input pulse (Fig. II.2a) is smaller than V^.The resulting voltage does not exceed zero (Fig. II.2b). Neither the ZEROLEVEL DISCRIMINATOR nor the UPPER LEVEL DISCRIMINATOR set at V2 areactivated.

In the second case the resulting voltage exceeds zero but does notexceed V2 level of the upper level discriminator. The ZERO LEVELDISCRIMINATOR is activated (Fig. II,2c). By 1 -0 transition of the zerolevel discriminator output pulse (Fig. II.2c) the ONE SHOT 1 is triggered(Fig. 2e). Its positive going pulse is transmitted through 2-input AND gate(Fig. 2i) because the Q output of the RS flip-flop is 1 (Fig. II.2g).Finally, by 1 0 transition of the negative going ONE SHOT 1 output pulse(Fig. II2f) the ONE SHOT 2 is activated (Fig. II.2g). However, its positivegoing pulse intended for the RS flip-flop reset is meaningless.

In the third case the input pulse is greater than Vj_+V2. Afterbeing shifted down in the DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER for Vx the pulseampllitude is still exceeding the V2 level. Therefore both discriminatorsare activated (Fig. II.2c and II.2d). First, by the positive going pulsefrom the UPPER LEVEL DISCRIMINATOR (Fig. II.2d) the RS flip-flop is set,resulting in Q = 0 state (Fig. II.2g). Then, as in the previous case, theONE SHOT 1 is triggered (Fig. II.2e) by the 1 0 transition of the ZEROLEVEL DISCRIMINATOR (Fig. II.2c). The pulse from the ONE SHOT 1 is stoppedin AND gate due to Q = 1 state at one input of AND gate. By the end of theONE SHOT 1 pulse the ONE SHOT 2 is triggered (Fig. II.2h). The producedpulse resets the RS flip-flop (Q = 1; Fig. Ilg).

Fig. II.3 Scheme of SCA

The SCA input stage (ICI) is a differential amplifier with differentinput sensitivities. To the inverting input with the amplification factor 1the reference voltage V^ from potentiometer PI is connected. This voltagecan vary from 50 mV to 5V. The smallest voltage 50 mV is determined byresistor R6, and the biggest voltage 5V is the voltage of the voltage sourcewith IC7. By the voltage drop across R6 the threshold voltage of 100 mV forinput pulses is introduced. Through two RC filters R5, C4 and R7, C5voltages Vi and V2 are decoupled.

Pulses to be analysed are applied to the noninverting input of ICI.They are attenuated by a factor of 2 determined by the proper ratio ofresistors Rl, R2, R3 and R4; and shifted down for V^. By adjusting thecapacitor C3 made of two twisted wires the optimal pulse response of theinput stage is achieved. For this purpose rectangular input test pulses ofa few us have to be attached to the input.

Through the described attenuation the input pulses normally swingingbetween 10 an - 10 V are reduced to + 5V in height. This is the normaloperating range for fast differential comparators IC2 and IC3(SN 72710). In order to avoid interference, each 710 is supplied with itsown Rd filter at supply lines.

The negative edge triggered ONE SHOT 1 accepting signals from IC2 isformed from 2 NAND gates of 7AL200. Capacitor CIO and resistor R16 arechosen to provide an output pulse of the duration of 1 us. As the outputpulse at pin 8, IC4 is negative going, an inverter is added.

In the positive edge triggered ONE SHOT 2, two NOR gates from 74L201are utilised and the DC voltage at input pins 11, 12IC5 is reduced to 2.5Vby the resistor dividing network R17 and R18. The reliable triggering bythe negative going pulses of the amplitude 3.5V obtained by the

differentiation of l 0 transition of pulses from the previous stage, isassured in this way.

In order to make the operation of SCA independent of the supply voltagewhich may vary from crate to crate the internal reference voltage is used.The 4.7V reference voltage provided by ZR 4.7 (Dl) is increased to 5 V inthe noninverting amplifier with IC7 by using the proper R 20/P3 resistanceratio. Transistor Trl is added to increase the current output capability ofthe voltage source.

Transistor Tr 2 connected as the emitter follower provides -5V for 710drive.

Equipment1. Assemble the single channel analyser board, according to the wiring

Fig. III.2 Control logic and time base generator

Page 158: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

Quartz crystal drive Zl is an oscillator and a divider 1C 32,768 kHzoscillator frequency is divided down to 2 Hz and made available at pin 3.To obtain 1 Hz time base Z3 is employed as 1: 2 divider.

Control logic (see Fig. III.2) consists of a sequencer, power up resetcircuitry and flip-flops to control the process. The sequencer is builtaround the Z2 (4017 decade counter 1C) which is responsible for producingsequences. The control logic circuitry is reset either at power up orpressing the stop button. That initializes the 22, Z3 and Z4 flip-flops andthen the sequencer is prepared to start. If the start push-button ismomentarily pressed, Z3 changes a state and enables the 22 to advance withpulses coming from the time base generator Zl/1. Z2.2 sends a pulse toreset the timer 1C (Z7) to load its registers with the value fo the frontpanel preset time switches. Then Z2/7 activates Z4/11 FF. The output ofZ4.12 goes low to inhibit pulses reaching Z2 to advance. In the meantimepreparing the second half of Z4 to be set with the TCLK pulse tosynchronize. The positive going edge of TCLK sets the Z4/3. The outputZ4/1 switches to high. This reaches to timer (Z7) and counter Z6 (seeFig. III.3) after a short delay of R19 and C8 and inversion of Z5 as anenable command (INH).

When the preset time is passed, the timer (27) sends back an EQUALpulse to clear two Z4 FF's. Then the sequencer continues to advance. Thesequencer Z2/10 produces a PRINT pulse to printer interface (PCB401-2).Then if the EEC-MAN switch (SI) is closed, reset is activated via Z5 toreturn the sequencer 22 to the initial state and reset of Z3 to be ready forthe next START.

If SI is open, this means RECYCLE. Then Z2 advances until step "9" andreturn to "0" and the above-mentioned cycle repeats.

Preset time switch values are transferred to internal comparisonregisters of the timer Z7 at the beginning of every cycle. The decimalthumbwheel switch selects the power (O Y S) and the BCD thuumbwheelselects the multiplication factor (O X 9).

Z7 counts up with TCLK to keep the elapsed time of accumulation andgenerates EQUAL pulse to indicate preset time is reached.

The counter Z6 receives pulses via Tl and the pulse shaper from the INBNC and displays the current count. T2...T7 are digit driver transistors.Z6 supplies output for the printer interface.

The printer interface board PCB401-2 is subject to future developmentto have a print-out of the sealer-timer unit.

Assembling Instructions;1. Check the printed board PCB401-1 to see whether any shorts exist due to

poor etching of the board during PCB process.2. Insert the jumpers as shown in Fig. III.4.3. Insert all the components except 1C's (be careful: the pin

configuration of Tl 2N3904 is different).

4. With a grounded soldering iron, place the 1C*s properly and then solderthem.

SPECIAL PROJECT IV

MICROCOMPUTER EXTENSION; HP-SMP BUS CONVERTER

Obiactive: To demonstrate the design, construction and operation of aconverter providing connection between the internal bus of a microprocessorsystem (Hewlett-Packard 5036A) and a SMP bus (Siemens).

IntroductionThe HP-SMP converter has been designed for the Hewlett Packard

microprocessor lab extension. The conversion to the widely used SMP busfrom Siemens is made to provide flexibility for using SMP cards. Theconverter provides four bus connectors for additional SMP cards like memoryextension and serial connection. It can also serve as a motherboard for astandard SMP microcomputer i.e. replacing the HP kit by a CPU card fromSiemens.

The lists of signals available on the HP-bus and the SMP bus are givenin Table IV.1.

The compatible signals on the SMP bus are:*RESET and ÏNTRBoth the Reset and the Interrupt signal are active high on the HP-bus,so they are inverted and made active low for the SMP-bus.

*MMIOThe memory mapped I/0(MMIO) signal is generated by a four input NANDgate using address bits 12 - 15 as input. It is then provided to theSMP bus through a buffer.*MEMRD, MEMW, IOWR, IORDThejse signals are generated for the SMP bus using the 8085 signalsIQ/M, NWR and NRD available on the HP-bus. When IO/M is low MEMRD orMEMWR is generated depending on whether NRD or NWR IS LOWRESPECTIVELY. Similarly for IO/M high IORD or IOWR is generateddepending on whether NRD or NWR is low respectively.«ADDRESS LinesThe address lines AO - A15 are buffered on the bus converter so thatthe HP bus is not loaded by the connected circuits.

*DATA LinesThe data lines are connected through an 8 bit bus transceiver. Thedirection of the data transfer is governed by the signal NRD. NRD lowmeans data flow from the SMP bus to the HP bus and for NRD high fromthe HP to the SMP bus.

*ENABLEThe ENABLE signal is active low and is generated by a NOR gate on theaddress bits 14 and 15. The memory extension works from HEX address

This experiment was prepared by Dr. 6. Brandenburg and Mr. A. Shaftab, atKFA Jiilich GmbH; the work was sponsored by the Government of the FRG.

4000 to FFFF and the enable signal is low in this range. However thememory mapped I/O is only available for the addresses FOOO to FFFF.

*RST 5.5The RST 5.5 is a signal used to initiate the serial I/O (seedescription of 8085 for detail). On the SMP bus RST 5.5 is active lowso it is inverted and fed to the HP bus. The RST 5.5 is used withwired And function on the standard SMP bus connector hence at the inputof the inverter a pullup resistor is connected.

*PowerThe jumper pins are provided on the bus converter to connect +5V, +12Vor 15V power from an external supply. When the +5V supply is to beprovided from the HP kit the jumper J^ has to be inserted. The HPkit power supply can supply a maximum of 1.75 A. The HP kit drawsnearly 600 mA and the bus board draws about 226 mA. Hence thecurrent-drawn by additional cards on the bus converter must not exceed1 A.

The signals READY, RESETIN, 02TTL, HOLD, NINTA, RESETOUT, HLDA, SOD,are identical on the two busses so they are directly wired through. Toindicate the signal states the address and data lines are connected toLEDS. They are lit on a high signal. MMIO is indicated by a LED which islit up at MMIO low. The input/output enable signal (ENIO) in the addressspace 4000 to FFFF is also indicated by a LED which is lit up at ENIO low.Fig. IV.1 shows the block diagram of the bus converter.

ExperimentAssembly The following is the assembly description with reference to thecomponent layout on the board shown in the Fig. IV.2 and the circuitdiagrams IV.3 and IV.4. The layout has been drawn as seen from thecomponent side. Following are a few tips for the students to support theassembly.

*A11 the soldering should be neat, there should be no splashes ofsolder and cold soldering must be strictly avoided.*HP connectors should be mounted with pin 1 on the top edge ofhe connector. The component side has connections 1-22 and on thesolder side there is A - Z. The connectors should be orientedaccordingly. Before soldering all the pins make sure that the boardcan easily be mounted on the HP kit.*The SMP connectors should be mounted with pin 1 towards the topside and column A on the left side.*A11 the integrated circuit sockets should be mounted with pin 1facing the HP connector.

*The LEDs for address and data lines should be placed so that theanode (normally the longer leg of LED) is connected to the line fromthe 1C pins generating signals. The LEDs for ENIO and MMIO have to beplaced with the cathode side connected to the leg of the chipgenerating the signal.

Warning:Take care in soldering that the components do not get overheated.

All capacitors are of value 10 nF, all dual in line array resistorsare of l K and pin 16 is common. R3 is 680 R and the rest are 1/4 WIK resistors.

Test ProgramsKey in the following program and starting from location 0800 run the

program with hardware step. Watch for write signals on the kit. When it ishigh you should look at MMIO, ENIO, Address and Data LEDs and compare itwith the expected results. Exit each program by pressing the RESET key.* Address lines test:

The program sets the address bits in four patterns which check all theaddress lines for high and low states.0800 32 STA FFFF ; all address LEDs high.0801 FF0802 FF0803 32 STA AAAA ; alternate LEDs high

SPECIAL PROJECT V

MICROCOMPUTER EXTENSION: SERIAL I/O BOARD

Objective; To assemble and test a board permitting a serial connectionto an I/O terminal, RS232 compatible, or for a 20 mA current loop.

IntroductionThe described board is a serial I/O board with standard Eurocard

dimensions. It is functionally compatible with the SMP bus computersystems. The design objective has been to use the simplest ICs available onthe market. Both RS232 and 20 mA current loop compatible terminals can beconnected. The baud rate can be selected by a switch array on the board.

The communication with a computer can be made through deviceshandling the data in parallel or serial format. When the I/O unit is tobe located close to the CPU, parallel transfer of data ii the choicebecause it is faster. However, when the I/O unit might be placed at adistance from the computer like terminals - the serial I/O is a betterchoice. In this case only one line is required for data transfer alongwith control lines. The speed is normally not as important for such kindof communication. This simplifies the transceiver circuit for remotelinks through cables or via Modems (modulators/demodulators). The serialconnection may use synchronous or asynchronous mode for datacommunication.

This experiment was designed by Dr. Brandenburg and Mr. A. Shaftab inKFA Jiilich GmbH; the work was performed with the support of theGovernment of the FRG.

195

Synchronous Mode. The rate of data transfer in synchronous mode isdetermined by the clock of the peripheral. Once the transfer of a characteris triggered its output is generated or received at the clock frequency.Sync characters are included in the data stream. The receiver hunts for thecorrect sync pattern and when it is matched the data transfer is allowed.This is illustrated in Fig. V.l.

Asynchronous Mode. For asynchronous data transmission each characterhas a start bit leading it and stop bits following it. The data can betransmitted asynchronously at the preset frequency. At the receiver sidethe start bit also signals the beginning of a character and the receiverdoes not need to hunt for a special bit pattern. This is shown in Fig. V.2.

The 8251A Is used as a peripheral device and Is programmed by the CPU to operateusing virtually any serial data transmission technique presently In use (Including IBM "bl-sync"). The USART acceptsdata characters from the CPU In parallel format and then converts them Into a continuous serial data stream fortransmission. Simultaneously. It can receive serial data streams and convert them Into parallel data characters for theCPU. The USART will signal the CPU whenever It can accept a new character for transmission or whenever It hasreceived a character for the CPU. The CPU can read the complete status of the USART at any time. These Include datatransmission errors and control signais such as SYNOET, TxEMPTY. The chip Is constructed using N-channel silicongate technology.

The serial I/O board has been designed to operate on a standard SMPbus. It handles data characters from the bus in parallel format andsends/receives serial data from the I/O port. An option to switch to RS232or 20 mA current loop connection is available. The desired connections canbe made by wire wrapping on jumper pins. Fig. V.3. shows the block diagramof the circuit.

Address Decoder. A specific address is assigned to the serial I/Oboard. This can be set by the switch array SWI which is compared with bits2 - 9 of the address requested for I/O. Bits 10 - 15 are to be high, bits12 - 15 are high to select MMIO, bits 10 and 11 are not used for addressselection. Bit 0 is used to select data or control/status for the 8251A,high on it indicates control and low signals the data. The bit 1 is leftopen for future use. When the address sent to the board is correct a CS(Chip Select) is generated for the USART 8251A.

Universal Synchronous-Asynchronous Transceiver (USART) 8251A. Fordetailed description refer to the specifications available in data catalog.A brief description to introduce the USART is presented here. Fig. V.4shows an overview of the functional behaviour and the pin configuration.The 8251A can be used flexibly to suit different input/output connections tothe CPU. Before it starts to handle the data a set of control words arewritten into it, which define its functional behaviour. The control wordswill program baud rate, character length, number of stop bits, synchronousor asynchronous operation, even/add, parity etc. The mode instruction andcommand instruction used for our serial connection are described in thefollowing.chapters.

Mode Instruction. The 8251A is used in asynchronous mode so that theuser can choose the options shown in Fig. V.5.

We have used the value (4E) Hex for defining the mode which means thatthe baud rate for the serial I/O shall be 16 times less than the clockfrequency at pin 20, a data character will be of 8 bits, parity will bedisabled only one stop bit will be used. The mode instruction can be loadedafter the USART has been reset.

Command Instruction. The command instruction controls the actualoperation of the selected mode. The desired command word can be selectedwith reference to Fig. V.6. When C/D is high on pin 12 the control wordwhich will provide the operating information for data handling can bewritten into the USART.

We have used (27) Hex as the command word which means that transmitterand receiver are enabled, "data terminal ready" and "request to send"signals are set low.

Status Word. The status word of 8251A can be read by the CPU with C/Dset high by a read instruction. It contains status information about thedevice connected to it. The meaning of the bits in the status word areshown in Fig. V.7.

The clock, available on pin 5 of U9 is 16 times faster than the actualbaud rate as the USART has been configured to divide by 16 internally. Thechips U4 - U6 (74161) count to 15 from the binary number set at pins 3,45,6 initially and then set the overflow bit 15. A low at pin 9 loads all thechips inputs to start the counting. Pins 3 - 6 of U4 are tied to ground soit always divides the input frequency by a factor of 16. The binary numberset on switches 0-3 determine the dividing factor by U5 and switches 4-7determine the factor for U6. When an overflow on all the three chips occurspin 8 of IC8 goes low giving one clock pulse to flipflop U9 and loads thecounter chips again to divide the input frequency by the same cummulativefactor and then the next timing pulse is issued. The counting in U5 isenabled by bit 15 of U4 and in U6 it is enabled by bit 15 of U5. Hence thecounters divide the input frequency successively.

20 mA Current Loop Every cable has a finite ohmic resistance per unitlength. For long cables the input voltage signal may drop considerablybefore reaching the receiver end due to resistance of the cable. Hence thedistance between the terminal and the computer has to be limited for voltage

driven connection. The twenty mA loop is useful when we have to place theterminal at a greater distance. The current loop couples withnormal TTLcircuits on the two sides through opto couplers. The driver side of theloop provides 20 mA current irrespective of the voltage drop on the cable.This ensures a good quality of the signals. The device at the currentdriver side is called "active" and that at the receiver side is termed as"passive". The principle is illustrated in the Fig. V.8. The 20 mAconnection needs two pairs of wires one for input and the other the output.

On the serial extension board both RS232 compatible and 20 mA currentloop compatible terminals can be used. By the help of jumpers the board canhandle the terminal in active or in passive mode.

The data is transmitted through both 20 mA current loop and the RS232driver. For 20 mA loop proper jumpers have to be added as shown in Fig.V.10.A and V.10.B. For the receiver besides these an additional jumper J5is provided on the board to distinguish between RS232 and 20 mA loopsignal. If the jumper is open the RS232 connection is enabled and if it isclosed 20 mA current loop is connected to pin 3 of USART (RxD signal).

Selectable Modes on the BoardThe serial I/O board is normally RS232 compatible with the jumpersopen. To use with 20 mA current loop jumpers have to be added.To make the use of the board flexible, all the necessary signals areprovided on the help points near the SMP connector.

* When using the board with normal ASR33 TTY use 110 Baud rate and setthe jumpers to make the board active receiver and transmitter (refer toFig. 9A & B).

* Connect pin 4 and 5 of the V24 connector by a jumper. Note that thetest programs set RTS signal with the command word.

* Board address can be selected by switch array SW1 (refer to section3.22) e.g. for FD20 set switch 8 and 4 to "OFF" others to "ON".

* Baud rate can be selected by switch array SW2 (refer to section 3.3.7)e.g. for 9600 bauds all switches are "OFF" for 110 bauds switches 1, 2,3, 5, 7 are "ON" and switches 4, 6, 8 are "OFF".

ExperimentAssemblyThe following is the assembly description of the serial I/O board with

reference to the component layout in Fig. V.ll and circuit diagramsFig. V.12 and V.13.* The soldering should be neat, there should be no splashes of solder and

cold soldering must be avoided.* All the integrated circuits should be mounted with correct orientation

i.e. pin 1 facing the SMP connector.* The switch arrays should be mounted so that they are off when pressed

towards the edge of the card,* The diode and transistor should be placed with correct orientation

indicated on the board.All the resistors are to be 1/4 Watt rated exept R5, R7, R8 and R9which should be of 1 Watt rating.

* All bypass capacitors should be red caps of 10 nF or ceramic capacitors.* Normally the I/O device interrupts the CPU via the RST 5.5 signal

however jumper pins have been provided near the SMP connector to enablea user to select any of signals from RST 5.5, RST 6.5, RST 7.5, Trapand INT for this purpose.

* The board is RS232 compatible when all jumpers Jl, J2, J3, J4, and J5are open. To make it work with 20 mA current loop select the jumpersas described in the chapter "Functional Description".

* When used on the HP-SMP bus converter +12V supply has to be provided inaddition to the +5V supply from the HP bus.

* Check the setting on switch arrays to select correct address and baudrate.

* Plug in the board and check that ail ICs are connected to power andground and then run the test programs as described later.

TestsAfter the board has been assembled step by step testing of the board

has to be done.1. Dismount the USART chip and plug in a temporary connection between pin

3 and 19 in the socket of the USART. Mount the serial I/O card on thebus board and connect it to a terminal. Type a character on the keyboard. Observe the output on the display. If it displays thecharacter typed, it makes sure that the connection between the terminaland the serial I/O board is correct otherwise check the input/outputlines for the USART to the connector etc.

2. Mount the USART chip and set the switches on the board to select theaddress (FFOO)* of the board and the baud rate to match the terminalattached.

3. Check on all ICs that power and ground are available on the correctpins.

Note: The RESET key available on the HP kit is not the same as thehardware reset. The user presses the RESET key to halt aprogram at the current location. A second push on it bringsthe HP kit to initial state (U LAB UP).On power up a hardware reset pulse resets the USART on theserial I/O board. Then two consecutive words mode and commandwords are written in it which define its operatingconfiguration. To initialise the USART again at a later stage,a data word with reset bit set is written in it. After thatthe mode and command words may be written. Hence, the testprograms in sections 4 to 6 should be run from location 0805just after power up. Later on the programs have to be run fromlocation 0800.

4. Key in the transmitter test program, the board address used in thiscase is (FF01) Hex. KRun the program in instruction step mode firstand then run it from location 800.The program is in a loop, sending the character "U" to theterminal. If the character stream is being received at the printerthe transmission side of the board is functional - if not we shouldcheck it.

207

Page 189: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

Key in the test program for serial extension board to operate inreflect mode i.e. characters typed in at console are received byUSART and then sent to the printer. If this happens the USART boardis functional otherwise check.Key in the program for serial extension test routine to send allASCII characters. The ASCII characters shall be printed in rows often characters if the board is functional.

Wire wrap versionThe present exercise can be performed also using the wire wrap

technique.After an electronic circuit has been designed on paper the first

practical version is prepared with the wire wrap connections. Then itsfunctional behaviour is tested. In this way the designer can easily makealterations in the circuit to suit the practical requirements. Finally theprinted circuit board is prepared. To give an experience of thisintermediate state in circuit design to the students the serial I/O board isalso prepared for wire wrapping.

All the components are placed at the same positions as on the actualboard and the connections have been deleted. +5V and GND are made availableon the help points on the edges of the board. +12V and -12V connections aredirectly wired to the pin 1 and pin 14 of Ull. The following procedure isrecommended for the students to wire wrap the circuit.1. Place wire wrap sockets for all the components taking care that they

are correctly oriented. The pins of the components have been markedfor ease.

2. Prepare a connection list for wire wraping according to the circuitdiagram. A connection list has been prepared as an example for aportion of the circuit, shown in Fig. V.14.

3. Wire wrap the connections using the wire wrap gun. Take care that:* The wires are neither too tight nor too loose.* The wires do not pass tightly around a wire wrap pin of any

component as this may cause an erroneous connection to thatpin.

4. Place the components in the sockets. See that the orientation iscorrect.

5. Check that the power and ground are available to all ICs.6. Test the board by using test programs described for the soldered

version of the board

SPECIAL PROJECT VI

MICROCOMPUTER EXTENSION; MEMORY

Objective: To construct and test a SMP memory board, designed toextend the capability of a Hewlett-Packard microprocessor learning system,and to demonstrate the structure and functioning of a complete memory.

IntroductionThe exercise is to be performed in several steps; each is described

separately, including the introductory remarks. The memory board is to beconnected to the SMP bus converter and Hewlett-Packard MicroprocessorLaboratory. The static RAM 6116 was selected for design of the memory,because its pin functions are compatible with the EPROM 2716. Thus thememory board can be used either with RAM or with EPROM, or with both.

Step 1: Assembling the memory boardExperiment 1

Refer to the block diagram, Fig. VI.1, wiring diagram, Fig. VI.2 andcomponents plan, Fig. VI.3.

Place the components in the correct position on the printed circuitboard. The positions are named. The positions can also be checked byusing the component plan.Make sure that components are mounted properly and at the correct pinposition, then solder them.Check every soldering point to be correct i.e. no coldjoint, no excesssoldering.

Step 2; Address decodingIntroductionThis memory board has a capacity of 16K when populated with full memory

chips (Schips: 2k each) and the board can have a starting address from 0 tothe maximum capacity of the (SMP) BUS (64K) in 4K step. The startingaddress can be set by using switch SI as indicated in Table V.l. Alsonotice that uLab has the free memory address space from 4000H for extensions.

The address decoding is shown in Fig. VI.4

A buffer is used for reducing the bus load of internal board circuits.Subtracter is a hardware arithmetic subtracter which subtracts the startingaddress from the bus address and provides the internal base address. Theborrow output from the subtracter will indicate that the address is lowerthan the starting address of the board and it is used to disable thedecoder. Also two higher MSB outputs from the subtracter are used todisable the decoder if the resultant address is higher than the capacity ofthe board. Only three bits are used for decoding.

An example is shown where the address is lower than the startingaddress of the board. Let us assume starting address of 4000H and a busaddress of 2000H.

The results from the subtracter contains the borrow which indicatesthat the board is not selected. The borrow output will disable the decoder.

Now an example where the bus address is higher than the boardcapacity. Let us use the same starting address and a bus address of BOOOH.

Bus address 1011 0Start address 0100 0Output from subtracter 0 0111 0The second MSB will disable the decoder.Memory chip selectAnother circuit on the board is the chip select switch, Fig. VI.5The task of this circuit is to provide a board addressed signal. Only

when the chip select switch is enabled (closed) for the corresponding memorychip. This means that the board can be used for any capacity which ismultiple of 2K (capacity of a memory chip).

The BADR is the output signal from this circuit, which indicates thatboard is addressed. It is gated by the MMIO signal to provide BSEL which isused for enabling the data buffer. The BSEL signal indicates that thisboard is selected.

Memory Happed I/O

MMIO is a bus signal of the SMP Bus. In the standard SMP Bus the topmost 4K memory address space is used for I/O addressing. The SMP Busprovides the MMIO signal to indiace that the address is in the memory mappedI/O address space. In our case this signal is created by the bus convertercircuit.

Experiment 2Objective: In this experiment, the address decoding operation will be

observed with an oscilloscope while the uLab is running a short programwhich addresses the memory board.

Use the uLab to check Write/Read data operation.1. Set the starting address of the memory board to 16K. (What is the

correct switch setting?)2. Set the chip select switch to enable only the first memory chip.

(What is the correct switch setting?)3. Mount the board in the SMP socket of the bus converter.4. Turn on uLab and check the supply voltage on the memory board. It

should be 5V. + 10%.5. The display should show uLAB UP, if it does not press RESET.6. Fetch address 4000 and store data 55.7. Fetch address 4000 again and observe that the data read out is 55.8. Try to store another data, maybe AA, FF, 00, etc., and also try

another address.

3. Set input to 2V/Div. Set the sweep speed to 10 us/div andtrigger on channel A.

4. Run the program entered in step A. Verify that the display issimilar to Fig. VI.6.

Fig. VI.6 Addressing waveform.

Step 3: Control signal circuitIntroductionThreee control signals are received by the board which control its

operation namely:- MEMR- MEMW- MMIO

MEMR is a bus control signal which controls the read dataoperation. It is a negative logic signal. This signal is normally high;

220

Page 201: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

when it goes low the data from the proper memory address must be put onthe data bus.

MEMW is a bus control signal whih control the write data operation.It is a negative logic signal. This signal is normally high; when itgoes low the memory device which is addressed must read data from the busand store the new received data.

MMIO is a bus status signal. It is normally high; when it goes lowthe bus address is within the memory mapped input/output region.

The circuit for the internal control signals is shown in Fig. VI.7.

Fig. VI.7 Control Circuit

MEMR is inverted and gated by MMIO to provide the /READ signal.Like MEMR, MEMW is performed by a similar circuit but the /WRITE signalis provided by an open collector gate. The open-collector gate is usedfor compatibility with EPROMS in place of RAMs. EPROMs from somemanufacturers send interfering signals through the Vpp pin, while thatpin in case of a RAM is used for /WR signal.

Step 4: Diagnostic programIntroductionThe software which is used for testing the hardware is typically

called DIAGNOSTIC program. Refer to Practical Microprocessor Lesson 13Section A Software Design Procedure, should be familiar with this and thefollowing section.

Consider a practical diagnostic test program which should consist ofthe following parts:

1. Clear all memory locations that will be tested.2. Check that every memory location was cleared.3. Write a check pattern to each location, each time check all

other location that they have not been altered. Then clear andcheck the next location.

Fig. VI.10 shows an example of the flowchart of a clear memoryroutine.

Experiment AWhen hardware parts are designed it is normal that the diagnostic

program for checking this hardware should be written.Write diagnostic software1. Write a flowchart for the entire program. Try to make it clear.2. Choose specific registers for each function.3. Write a program which follows the flowchart.Test the board1. Key in the written program.2. Specify the wanted test region. (Test only the first memory chip.)

3. Run program.

223

Page 204: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

4. If program is not running properly, "debug" it and repeat theprocedure.

5. Disable the second memory cycle with the chip select switch,6. Specify test region for first and second memory chip.7. Verify that the program shows an error for the address of the

second memory chip.8. Run program to test the entire board.

Hints on trouble-shootingRun a program to clear all the memory locations. Read back all thelocations. If all locations contain a zero proceed to test number 2.However, if all locations read a 1 it means that a bus driver isdisabled. Take a scope and check on pin 19 of in. Also check all thechip select signals.

Run a test program to write a bit pattern 10101010 to all the memorylocations. Read back all locations. If same data is there proceed totest number 3. If not, then check the logic signals on the board. For

example you read 00101010 always. It shows that the two highest bitsare probably short circuited. To locate the chip on which this shorthas occured switch off the memory chip one by one (use switch array S2)and run the program until you locate it. If the error is not locatedon any memory chip it indicates that the short circuit is on the driverside.

3. For a thorough checkup of the memory run a program which writes a datawith the ramp pattern. As shown in the diagram the first location hasa zero the second a one and so on up to location 255 (decimal) whichhas data word 255 in it. Read back all the memory locations and verifythat the pattern was successfully written. For a second run shift thepattern by one i.e. on location 0 a 1 is stored and so on. Verify inthe same way and proceed for a second run.

Hints to use test Programm from EPROM

Normally the students are supposed to key in the test program in the HPkit. However one may load the program in an EPROM and put it on a socket ofmemory board also. One such program has been loaded on the EPROM suppliedwith the memory board. A small program starting from location 0 on the chiprelocates the following test program to start from location 0800. Hence theprogram can test all the 16K memory. Following are the hints for a user.

1. Plug the EPROM in the socket M8.

2. Set the board address BOOO i.e. on SW1 switches 1,3 and 4 are ON andswitch 2 is OFF. Set all the switches on SW2 ON.

3. Fetch address E800 and press RUN key. The test program is relocated inthe HP kit's RAM area starting from location 0800.

236

Page 217: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

4. Store the following data:LOCATION DATA

0900 00 START-ADDRESS low byte0901 BO START-ADDRESS high byte0902 FF END-ADDRESS low byte0903 B7 END-ADDRESS high byte090A AA PATTERN (AA, 55, FF etc.)

Note: The memory area to be tested has to be selected by giving appropriateaddress limits as given in the example above.

5. Run the program from location 0800. The memory area between start andend addresses shall be checked by writing and reading the test patternin every location. If the test is successful the u-lab gives a beepand displays "no Err". If the program sees an error in reading orwriting data pattern the display blinks "Err". If the program sees anerror in reading or writing data pattern the display blinks the addressof the memory location in error +1 and gives a beep. The test programneeds execution time of the following order.

DESCRIPTION

This signal is low to indicate aread cycle.This signal is low to indicate awrite signal.

This signal is low to indicatethe I/O page.Data is transferred between thememory and the SMP Bus processoror 8 bidissectional data lines.The processor supplies 16address inputs. They are usedas follows :

AO-10 Internal chip addressA11-A15 Card and chip select

Modes of operation. The ZEL-NE 465 is operating in one of threemodes: READ (non-destructive), WRITE and standby. Normally it will be instandby mode until it receives a read or write signal from the bus.

Read cycle. Read cycles are determined by the status of the /RDcontrol line. When /RD goes low the data stored previously at the addressspecified by the address inputs will be transferred to the output data buslines. The contents of the memory will not be altered.

Write cycle. Write cycles are determined by the status of the /WRcontrol line. When /WR goes low, the data on the input bus will be writteninto the address specified by the address inputs. The contents of the restof the memory will not be altered.

Standby mode. When the board is not addressed it will go into standbymode and wait for the next control cycle.

Board addressing. The block diagram on Fig. VI.1. shows two sets ofaddress lines coming from the SMP BUS. The first set (AO-A10) is used fordevice addressing. The second set (A11-A15) is used for board addressing.See logic schematics. This address line is buffered by U2 and U3. Addresslines A11-A15 are sent to adder and decoder for memory device addressing U5and U6 and the outputs of the decoder are sent through switch S2 to enableeach memory device and then to the U7 "or" gate, the output signal from this"or" gate indicates that the board is addressed and gated by /MMIO todisable the board when it is in memory mapped Input/Output space. Theoutput signal is used to enable the data buffer Ul.

Device addressing. As discussed in the previous section, address linesAO-A10 are brought onto the memory board from the SMP Bus to the buffers U2and U3. The outputs of these buffers AO-10 are sent to the memory devicesfor device addressing.

Timing and control. Since this memory board uses static memory devicethere is no critical timing circuit, every control signals control the boardfunction directly.

OPERATION

There are 3 control signal lines: /MEMR, /MEMW, /MMIO. /MEMW isbuffered by gate U4 and U5. The gate U5 is an open-collector gate which isused because in case the board is populated by EPROMs, EPROMs from somemanufacturers send interering signals through the Vpp pin, while this pin incase of RAM is used as /WR sdignal pin, therefore the open collector gatehas to be used to isolate this interferation. /MEMR is also buffered bygate U4 and gated by the /MMIO signal to diable the read function if theboard is in MMIO space. The output from gate U4 and pin 8 is sent to memorychip M1-M8 pin 20 and the data buffer pin 1 to control the direction of thedata flow.

Data transfer. The Data transfer logic uses the TRI-State buffer Ul.The "enable" of this buffer is controlled by the board addressing logic.The direction of the data transfer is controlled by the READ signalgenerated from the /MEMR and the /MMIO control signal.

Step 7; MaintenanceEquipment needed for testing and maintaining the memory card is listed

below:1. Oscilloscope2. Voltmeter3. P.E. Tool kit - soldering iron, wires, etc.4. Diagnostic Programs

If any problem arises, the following general procedures should beobserved:1. Check the power supply and make sure it complies with the

specifications.2. Make sure the card is properly mounted in its connector.3. Check for obvious causes of failure, such as faulty connectors, loose

wires, etc.4. Check the inputs to the memory. I/O connections are listed in the

table "Interface Pin Assignments".5. Run diagnostic tests and check for a failing memory chip as described

below.

After running the diagnostics, the error mode must be defined. Thethree most likely problem areas are:

1. Memory devices2. Address selection and buffer circuit3. Data buffers

The following procedure is recommended for isolating a failing memorychip.1. Run diagnostic programs to isolate the failing address and data bits.2. Determine on which board the failure has occured.3. To identify the failure on that board down to a particular memory

device, the on board address is derived by taking the memory addressand subtracting the starting address from it. The result divided by 2Kis the number of the failing memory device.In many instances the error indicates that more than one memory

location or address fails. In these cases the problem will not be caused bya single memory device but more likely will be part of the circuitry whichaddresses or controls the memory board. This section will aid in findingand solving problems in the addressing circuitry.

Board addressing is described in detail in the section "Operation ofboard addressing" and this section should be reviewed before going furtherinto troubleshooting. The most probable cause of failures will be fromincorrectly set switches. Problems involving adderessing sometimes may becaused by improper seating of board or by corrosive build-up on contacts.

241

Page 222: NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS LABORATORY MANUAL 1984

Some problems, however, will be due to a failing chip. In this instance itis best to use the diagnostic error outputs to gather information fordetecting and isolating the problems.

Data buffer failures will show up on diagnostic error outputs as adata-bit being incorrect in all addresses, if the failure is on a singlegate. If the complete chip fails, then the failure will show up as an alldata bit error.

Voltage Regulators

LM79XX Series 3-Terminal Negative RegulatorsGeneral DescriptionThe LM79XX series of 3 terminal regulators is availablewith fixed output voltages of -5V, -5.2V, -6V, -8V,-9V, -12V. -15V, -18V and -24V. These devicesneed only one external component — a compensationcapacitor at the output. The LM79XX series is packagedm the TO-220 power package and is capable of supplying1.5A of output current.

These regulators employ internal current limiting safearea protection and thermal shutdown for protectionagainst virtually all overload conditions.

Low ground pin current of the LM79XX series allowsoutput voltage to be easily boosted above the preset

value with a resistor divider. The low quiescent currentdram of these devices with a specified maximum changewith line and load ensures good regulation in the voltageboosted mode.

Features• Thermal, short circuit and safe area protection

• High ripple rejection

• 1.5A output current

LM79LXXAC Series 3-Terminal Negative RegulatorsGeneral DescriptionThe LM79LXXAC series of 3-terminal negative voltageregulators features fixed output voltages of --5V, -12V,-15V, -18V and -24V with output current capabilitiesin excess of 100 mA. These devices were designedusing the latest computer techniques for optimizingthe packaged 1C thermal/electrical performance. TheLM79LXXAC series, even when combined with a mini-mum output compensation capacitor of 0.1 A<F, exhibitsan excellent transient response, a maximum line regula-tion of 0.07% VQ/V, and a maximum load regulation of0 01% VQ/mA.

The LM79LXXAC series also includes, as self protectioncircuitry safe operating area circuitry for output transis-tor power dissipation limiting, a temperature independentshort circuit current limit for peak output currentlimiting, and a thermal shutdown circuit to preventexcessive junction temperature. Although designed pri-marily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices may be

combined with simple external circuitry for boosted and/or adjustable voltages and currents. The LM79LXXACseries is available in the 3-lead TO 92 package

Features

• Preset output voltage error is less than ±5% over load,line and temperature

• Specified at an output current of 100 mA• Easily compensated with a small 0.1 pF output

LM117/LM217/LM317

Voltage RegulatorsLM117/LM217/LM317 3-terminal adjustable regulatorgeneral descriptionThe LM117/LM217/LM317 are adjustable 3-termmalpositive voltage regulators capable of supplying in excessof 1.5A over a 1.2V to 37V output range. They areexceptionally easy to use and require only two externalresistors to set the output voltage. Further, both lineand load regulation are better than standard fixed regula-tors. Also, the LM117 is packaged in standard transistorpackages which are easily mounted and handled.

In addition to higher performance than fixed regulators,the LM117 series offers full overload protectionavailable only in IC's. Included on the chip are currentlimit, thermal overload protection and safe area protec-tion. All overload protection circuitry remains fullyfunctional even if the adjustment terminal isdisconnected.

features• Adjustable output down to 1.2V• Guaranteed 1.5A output current• Line regulation typically 0.01%/V• Load regulation typically 0.1%• Current limit constant with temperature• 100% electrical burn-in• Eliminates the need to stock many voltages• Standard 3-lead transistor package• 80 dB ripple rejection

Normally, no capacitors are needed unless the device issituated far from the input filter capacitors in whichcase an input bypass is needed. An optional outputcapacitor can be added to improve transient response.The adjustment terminal can be bypassed to achievevery high ripple rejections ratios which are difficultto achieve with standard 3-termmal regulators.

Besides replacing fixed regulators, the LM117 is usefulm a wide variety of other applications. Since the regu-lator is "floating" and sees only the input-to-outputdifferential voltage, supplies of several hundred voltscan be regulated as long as the maximum input tooutput differential is not exceeded.

Also, it makes an especially simple adjustable switchingregulator, a programmable output regulator, or byconnecting a fixed resistor between the adjustment andoutput, the LM117 can be used as a precision currentregulator. Supplies with electronic shutdown can beachieved by clamping the adjustment terminal to groundwhich programs the output to 1.2V where most loadsdraw little current.

The LM117K, LM217K and LM317K are packaged instandard TO-3 transistor packages while the LM117H,LM217H and LM317H are packaged in a solid Kovarbase TO-5 transistor package. The LM117 is rated foroperation from -55°C to +150°C, the LM217 from-25" C to +)50°C and the LM317 from 0°C to +125°C.The LM317T and LM317MP, rated for operation over a0°C to +125°C range, are available in a TO-220 plasticpackage and a TO 202 package, respectively.

For applications requiring greater output current inexcess of 3A and 5A, see LM150 series and LM138series data sheets, respectively. For the negative comple-ment, see LM137 series data sheet.

application hintsIn operation, the LM117 develops a nominal 1.25Vreference voltage, VREF. between the output andadjustment terminal. The reference voltage is impressedacross program resistor R1 and, since the voltage is con-stant, a constant current \] then flows through theoutput set resistor R2, giving an output voltage of

VOUT — + 'ADJR2

«OUT

FIGURE 1.

Since the lOO iA current from the adjustment terminalrepresents an error term, the LM117 was designed tominimize IADJ an<^ make it very constant with lineand load changes. To do this, all quiescent operatingcurrent is returned to the output establishing a mini-mum load current requirement. If there is insufficientload on the output, the output will rise.

External Capacitors

An input bypass capacitor is recommended. A 0.1/jFdisc or IfiF solid tantalum on the input is suitable inputbypassing for almost all applications. The device is moresensitive to the absence of input bypassing when adjust-ment or output capacitors are used but the above valueswill eliminate the possibility of problems.

The adjustment terminal can be bypassed to ground onthe LM117 to improve ripple rejection. This bypasscapacitor prevents ripple from being amplified as theoutput voltage is increased. With a 10pF bypass capa-citor 80 dB ripple rejection is obtainable at any outputlevel. Increases over 10pF do not appreciably improvethe ripple rejection at frequencies above 120 Hz. If thebypass capacitor is used, it is sometimes necessary toinclude protection diodes to prevent the capacitorfrom discharging through internal low current pathsand damaging the device.

In general, the best type of capacitors to use are solidtantalum. Solid tantalum capacitors have low impedanceeven at high frequencies. Depending upon capacitorconstruction, it takes about 25pF in aluminum electro-lytic to equal 1//F solid tantalum at high frequencies.Ceramic capacitors are also good at high frequencies;but some types have a large decrease in capacitance atfrequencies around 0.5 MHz. For this reason, O.OI iFdisc may seem to work better than a 0.1pF disc asa bypass.

Although the LM117 is stable with no output capa-citors, like any feedback circuit, certain values ofexternal capacitance can cause excessive ringing. Thisoccurs with values between 500 pF and 5000 pF.A IfjF solid tantalum (or 25/^F aluminum electrolytic)on the output swamps this effect and insures stability.

Load Regulation

The LM117 is capable of providing extremely good loadregulation but a few precautions are needed to obtainmaximum performance. The current set resistor con-nected between the adjustment terminal and the outputterminal (usually 240J7) should be tied directly to theoutput of the regulator rather than near the load. Thiseliminates line drops from appearing effectvely in serieswith the reference and degrading regulation. For exam-ple, a 15V regulator with 0.05ÎÎ resistance between theregulator and load will have a load regulation due toline resistance of 0.05ft x l|_. If the set resistor is con-nected near the load the effective line resistance will be0.05Œ (1 + R2/R1) or in this case, 11.5 times worse.

Figure 2 shows the effect of resistance between the regu-lator and 240fZ set resistor.

FIGURE 2. Regulator with Line Rnituneein Output Lftd

With the TO-3 package, it is easy to minimize the resis-tance from the case to the set resistor, by using twoseparate leads to the case. However, with the TO-5package, care should be taken to minimize the wirelength of the output lead. The ground of R2 can bereturned near the ground of the load to provide remoteground sensing and improve load regulation.

Protection Diodes

When external capacitors are used with any 1C regulatorit is sometimes necessary to add protection diodes toprevent the capacitors from discharging through lowcurrent points into the regulator. Most 10uF capacitorshave low enough internal series resistance to deliver20A spikes when shorted. Although the surge is short,there is enough energy to damage parts of the 1C.

When an output capacitor is connected to a regulatorand the input is shorted, the output capacitor willdischarge into the output of the regulator. The discharge

Schematic Diagram

O»OUT

Thermal RegulationWhen power is dissipated in an 1C, a temperaturegradient occurs across the 1C chip affecting the individualICcircutt components. With an \C regulator, this gradientcan be especially severe since power dissipation is large.Thermal regulation is the effect of these temperaturegradients on output voltage (in percentage output change)per Watt of power change in a specified time. Thermalregulation error is independent of electrical regulation ortemperature coefficient, and occurs within 5 ms to 50 msafter a change in power dissipation. Thermal regulationdepends on 1C layout as well as electrical design. Thethermal regulation of a voltage regulator is defined as thepercentage change of VgUT- per Watt, within the first10 ms after a step of power is applied. The LM137'sspecification is 0.02%/W, max.

0.1%

In Figure 1. a typical LM137's output drifts only 3 mV(or 0.03% of VOUT = -10V) when a 10W pulse isapplied for 10 ms. This performance is thus well insidethe specification limit of 0.02%/W x 10W = 0.2% max.When the 10W pulse is ended, the thermal regulationagain shows a 3 mV step as the LM137 chip coolsoff. Note that the load regulation error of about 8 mV(0.08%) is additional to the thermal regulation error.In Figure 2. when the 10W pulse is applied for 100ms,the output drifts only slightly beyond the drift in thefirst 10 ms, and the thermal error stays well within0.1%(10mV).

Voltage ComparatorsLF111/LF211/LF311 voltage comparatorsgeneral descriptionThe LF111, LF211 and LF311 are FET input voltagecomparators that virtually eliminate input current errors.Designed to operate over a 5.0V to ±15V range theLF111 can be used in the most critical applications.

The extremely low input currents of the LF111 allowsthe use of a simple comparator in applications usuallyrequiring input current buffering. Leakage testing, longtime delay circuits, charge measurements, and highsource impedance voltage comparisons are easily done.

Further, the LF111 can be used in place of the LM111eliminating errors due to input currents. See the "appli-cation hints" of the LM311 for application help

advantages• Eliminates input current errors• Interchangeable with LM111• No need for input current buffering

Advantages• Replace expensive hybrid and module FET op amps• Rugged JFETs allow blow-out free handling compared

with MOSFET input devices• Excellent for low noise applications using either high

or low source impedance—very low 1/f corner• Offset adjust does not degrade drift or common-mode

rejection as in most monolithic amplifiers• New output stage allows use of large capacitive loads

(10,000 pF) without stability problems

• Photocell amplifiers• Sample and Hold circuits

Common Features(LF155A, LF156A, LF157A)

• Low input bias current• Low Input Offset Current• High input impedance• Low input offset voltage• Low input offset voltage température

LF155/LF156/LF157 Series

Application HintsThe LF155'6/7 series are op amps with JFET inputdevices These JFETs have large reverse breakdownvoltages from gate to source and drain eliminating theneed for clamps across the inputs Therefore laigedifferential input voltages can easily be accomodatedwithout a laige increase in input current The maximumdifferential input voltage is independent of the supplyvoltages However, neither of the input voltagps shouldbe allowed to exceed the negative supply as this willcause large currents to flow which can result in adestroyed unit

Exceeding the negative common mode limit on eitherinput will cause a reversal of the phase to the outputand force the amplifier output to the correspondinghigh or low state Exceeding the negative common modelimit on both inputs will force the amplifier output to ahigh state In neither case does a latch occur sinceraising the input back within the common mode rangeagain puts the input stage and thus the amplifier m anormal operating mode

Exceeding the positive common mode limit on a singleinput will not change the phase of the output howeverif both inputs exceed the limit, the output of theamplifier will be forced to a high state

These amplifiers will operate with the common modeinput voltage equal to the positive supply In fact, thecommon mode voltage can exceed the positive supply byapproximately 100 mV independent of supply voltageand over the full operating temperature range Thepositive supply can therefore be used as a reference onan input as for example m a supply current monitorand/or limiter

Precautions should be taken to ensure that the powersupply for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed

Typical Circuit ConnectionsDriving Capacitive Loads

in polarity or that the unit is not inadvertently installedbackwards m a socket as an unlimited current surgethrough the resulting forward diode within the 1C couldcause fusing of the internal conductors and result in adestroyed unit

Because these amplifiers are JFET rather than MOSFETinput op amps they do not require spenal handling

All of the bias currents in these amplifiers are set by FETcurrent sources The diain currents for the amplifiers aretherefore essentially independent of supply voltage

As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with leaddress, component placement and supply decoupling inorder to ensure stability For example, resistors from theoutput to an input should be placed with the body closeto the input to minimize "pickup" and maximize thefrequency of the feedback pole by minimizing thecapacitance from the input to ground

A feedback pole is created when the feedback aroundany amplifier is resistive The parallel resistance andcapacitance from the input of the device (usually theinverting input) to ac ground set the frequency of thepole In many instances the frequency of this pole ismuch greater than the expected 3 dB frequency of theclosed loop gam and consequently there is negligibleeffect on stability margin However, if the feedback poleis less than approximately six times the expected 3 dBfrequency a lead capacitor should be placed from theoutput to the input of the op amp The value of theadded capacitor should be such that the RC timeconstant of this capacitor and the resistance it parallelsis greater than or equal to the original feedback poletime constant

LM118/LM218/LM318

LM118/LM218/LM318 operational amplifiersgeneral descriptionThe LM118 series are precision high speed opera-tional amplifiers designed for applications requiringwide bandwidth and high slew rate They featurea factor of ten increase in speed over general purpose devices without sacrificing DC performance

features" 15 MHz smdll signal bandwidth• Guaranteed 50V//jis slew rate• Maximum bias current of 250 nA• Operates from supplies of ï5V to ±20V• Internal frequency compensation• Input and output overload protected• Pin compatible with general purpose op amps

The LM118 series has internal unity gam frequencycompensation This considerably simplifies its appli-cation since no external components are necessaryfor operation However, unlike most internally

compensated amplifiers, external frequency compensation may be added for optimum performanceFor inverting applications, feedforward compensation will boost the slew rate to over 150V/pisand almost double the bandwidth Overcompensation can be used with the amplifier for greaterstability when maximum bandwidth is not neededFurther, a single capacitor can be added to reducethe 01% settling time to under 1 /^s

The high speed and fast settling time of these opamps make them useful in A/D converters, oscillators, active filters, sample and hold circuits, orgeneral purpose amplifiers These devices are easyto apply and offer an order of magnitude betterAC performance than industry standards such asthe LM709

The LM218 is identical to the LM118 except thatthe LM218 has its performance specified over a-25°C to+85°C temperature range The LM318 isspecified from 0°C to +70° C

LM710/LM710C

LM710/LM710C voltage comparatorgeneral descriptionThe LM710 series are a highspeed voltage comparators intended for use as dn accurate, low leveldigital level sensor or as a replacement for operational amplifiers in comparator applications wherespeed is of prime importance The circuit has adifferential input and a single ended output, withsaturated output levels compatible with practicallyall types of integrated logic

The device is built on a single silicon chip whichinsures low offset and thermal drift The use ofa minimum number of stages along with minoritycarrier lifetime control (gold doping) makes thecircuit much faster than operational amplifiers insaturating comparator applications In fact, the low

Voltage Comparators

stray and wiring capacitances that can be realizedwith monolithic construction make the device difficult to duplicate with discrete components operating at equivalent power levels

The LM710 series are useful as pulse height discnmmators, voltage comparators in high speed A/Dconverters or go, no go detectors m automatic testequipment They also have applications in digitalsystems as an adjustable threshold line receiver oran interface between logic types In addition thelow cost of the units suggests it for applicationsreplacing relatively simple discrete componentcircuitry

LM741/LM741A/LM741C/LM741E

Operational Amplifiers/BuffersLM741/LM741A/LM741C/LM741E operational amplifiergeneral descriptionThe LM741 series are general purpose operationalamplifiers which feature improved performanceover industry standards like the LM709. They aredirect, plug-in replacements for the 709C, LM201,MC 1439 and 748 in most applications.

The amplifiers offer many features which maketheir application nearly foolproof: overload pro-

tection on the input and output, no latch-up whenthe common mode range is exceeded, as well asfreedom from oscillations.

The LM741C/LM741E are identical to theLM741/LM741A except that the LM741C/LM741E have their performance guaranteed overa 0°C to +70°C temperature range, instead of-55°Cto-H25°C.

TYPES TIL306, TIL307NUMERIC DISPLAYS WITH LOGIC

descriptionThese internally-driven seven-segment light-emitting-diode (LED) displays contain a BCD counter, a four-bit iatch, anda decoder/LED driver in a single 16-pin package. A description of the functions of the inputs and outputs of thesedevices follows:

PIN NO. DESCRIPTION12 When low. resets and holds counter at 0. Must be high for normal

counting.

15 Each positive-going transition will increment the counter provided that thecircuit is in the normal counting mode (serial and parallel count enableinputs low, clear input high).

9 Must be low for normal counting mode. When high, counter will beinhibited. Logic level must not be changed when the clock is low.

10 Must be low for normal counting mode, also must be low to enablemaximum count output to go low. When high, counter will be inhibitedand maximum count output will be driven high. Logic level must not bechanged when the clock is low.

7 Will go low when the counter is at 9 and serial count enable input is low.Will return high when the counter changes to 0 and will remain high duringcounts 1 through 8. Will remain high (inhibited) as long as serial countenable input is high.

5 When low, data in latches follow the data in the counter. When high, thedata in the latches are held constant, and the counter may be operatedindependently.

4, 1, 2, 3 The BCD data that drives the decoder can be stored in the 4-bit latch andis available at these outputs for driving other logic and/or processors. Thebinary weights of the outputs are. QA = 1, QQ = 2, QC = 4, Qrj = 8.

13 Must be high to display decimal point. The decimal point is not displayedwhen this input is low or when the display is blanked.

14 When high, will blank (turn off) the entire display and force RBO low.Must be low for normal display. May be pulsed to implement intensitycontrol of the display.

6 When the data in the latches is BCD 0, a low input will blank the entiredisplay and force the RBO low. This input has no effect if the data in thelatches is other than 0.

11 Supplies ripple-blanking information for the ripple-blanking input of thenext decade. Provides a low it Bl is high, or if RBI is low and the data inthe latches is BCD 0; otherwise, this output is high. This pin has a resistivepull-up circuit suitable for performing a wire-AND function with anyopen-collector output. Whenever this pin is low the entire display will beblanked; therefore, this pin may be used as an active-low blanking input.

The TTL MSI circuits contain the equivalent of 86 gates on a single chip. Logic inputs and outputs are completelyTTL/DTL compatible. The buffered inputs are implemented with relatively large resistors in series with the bases of theinput transistors to lower drive-current requirements to one-half of that required for a standard Series 54/74 TTL input.The serial-carry input, actually two internal loads, is rated as one standard series 54/74 load.

The logic outputs, except RBO, are active pull up, and the latch outputs QA, Qß. 0-C- ar|d O-D are eacn capable ofdriving three standard Series 54/74 loads at a low logic level or six loads at a high logic level while the maximum-countoutput is capable of driving five Series 54/74 loads at a low logic level or ten loads at a high logic level. The RBO nodewith passive pull-up serves as a ripple blanking output with the capability to drive three Series 54/74 loads.

The LED driver outputs are designed specifically to maintain a relatively constant on-level current of approximatelyseven milliamperes through each LED segment and decimal point. All inputs are diode-clamped to minimizetransmission-line effects, thereby simplifying system design. Maximum clock frequency is typically 18 megahertz andpower dissipation is typically 600 milliwatts with all segments on.

The displays may be interconnected to produce an n-digit display with the following features:

• Ripple blanking input and output for blanking leading or trailing zeroes

• Floating-decimal point logic capability

• Overriding blanking for suppressing entire display or pulse modulation of LED brightness

• Dual count enable inputs for parallel look-ahead and serial ripple logic to build high-speed fully synchronous,multidigit counter systems with no external logic, minimizing total propagation delay from the clock to thelast latch output

• Provision for ripple count cascading between packages

• Positive-edge-triggered synchronous BCD counter

• Parallel BCD data outputs available to drive logic processors or remote slaved displays simultaneously withdata being displayed

• Latch strobe input allows counter to operate while a previous data point is displayed

• Reset-to-zero capability with clear input.

CD4001M/CD4001C Quadruple 2-lnput NOR GateCD4011M/CD4011C Quadruple 2-lnput NAND Gâte

General DescriptionThe CD4001M/CD4001C, CD4011M/CD4011C are monoli-thic complementary MOS (CMOS) quadruple two-inputNOR and NAND gate integrated circuits. N- and P-channel enhancement mode transistors provide a sym-metrical circuit with output swings essentially equal tothe supply voltage. This results in high noise immunityover a wide supply voltage range. No DC power other thanthat caused by leakage current is consumed during staticconditions. All inputs are protected against static dis-charge and latching conditions.

Features• Wide supply voltage range• Low power

Special ConsiderationsIn applications where separate power sources are usedto drive VDD and the signal input, the VQQ currentcapability should exceed Vprj/Rt. (Rl_ = effectiveexternal load of the 4 CD4066BM/CD4066BC bilateralswitches). This provision avoids any permanent currentflow or clamp action on the VDD supply when power isapplied or removed from CD4066BM/CD4066BC.

In certain applications, the external load-resistor currentmay include both VQD anQl signal-line components. To

avoid drawing VßD current when switch current flowsinto terminals 1, 4, 8 or 11, the voltage drop across thebidirectional switch must not exceed 0 6V at TA < 25°C,or 0.4V at TA > 25°C (calculated from RON valuesshown).

No VOD current will flow through RL if the switchcurrent flows into terminals 2, 3, 9 or 10.

MM74C925, MM74C926, MM74C927, MM74C928 4-DigitCounters with Multiplexed 7-Segment Output DriversGeneral DescriptionThese CMOS counters consist of a 4-digit counter, aninternal output latch, NPN output sourcing drivers fora 7-segment display, and an internal multiplexingcircuitry with four multiplexing outputs. The multi-plexing circuit has its own free-running .oscillator,and requires no external clock. The counters advanceon negative edge of clock. A high signal on the Resetinput will reset the counter to zero, and reset the carry-out low. A low signal on the Latch Enable input willlatch the number in the counters into the internal out-put latches. A high signal on Display Select input willselect the number in the counter to be displayed; a lowlevel signal on the Display Select will select the numberin the output latch to be displayed.

The MM74C925 is a 4-decade counter and has LatchEnable, Clock and Reset inputs.

The MM74C926 is like the MM74C925 except that ithas a display select and a carry-out used for cascadingcounters. The carry-out signal goes high at 6000,goes back low at 0000.

The MM74C927 is like the MM74C926 except thesecond most significant digit divides by 6 rather than 10.Thus, if the clock input frequency is 10 Hz, the displaywould read tenths of seconds and minutes (i.e., 9:59.9).

The MM74C928 is like the MM74C926 except the mostsignificant digit divides by 2 rather than 10 and the

carry-out is an overflow indicator which is high at2000, and it goes back low only when the counter isreset. Thus, this is a 3 1/2-digit counter.

Features• Wide supply voltage range 3V to 6V• Guaranteed noise margin IV• High noise immunity 0.45 VQC (typ-)• High segment sourcing current 40mA

@VC C - 1.6V, Vcc = 5V« Internal multiplexing circuitry

Design ConsiderationsSegment resistors are desirable to minimize powerdissipation and chip heating. The DS75492 serves as agood digit driver when it is desired to drive brightdisplays. When using this driver with a 5V supply atroom temperature, the display can be driven withoutsegment resistors to full illumination. The user must usecaution in this mode however, to prevent overheating ofthe device by using too high a supply voltage or byoperating at high ambient temperatures.

The input protection circuitry consists of a series resistor,and a diode to ground. Thus input signals exceedingVcc will not be clamped. This input signal should not beallowed to exceed 15V.

UCN-4202A STEPPER MOTOR TRANSLATOR/DRIVER

UCN-4202ASTEPPER MOTOR TRANSLATOR/DRIVER

FEATURES•600 mA Power Drivers•15 V Sustaining Voltage•20 V Output Breakdown•Full-Step or Double-Step Operation•Single-Input Direction Control•Power-On Reset•Transient Suppression Diodes•Schnitt Trigger Inputs

THE UCN-4202A Translator/Driver isspecifically designed for driving small-to-

medium permanent magnet (PM) steppermotors rated to 500 mA and 15 V. Thismonolithic integrated circuit employs a full-step,double pulse drive scheme that produces up to90% utilization of the available PM steppermotor torque.

The UCN-4202A is a unique bipolar I2Ldesign containing approximately 100 logic gates,suitable input/output circuitry for TTL com-patibility, and 600 mA outputs with internal in-ductive load suppression. The circuit operateswith a minimum of external components, andprovides an additional uncommitted driver.

The PM stepper motor is controlled by the in-tegral step logic. To step the load from one posi-tion to the next, the STEP INPUT is pulleddown to a logic low for at least 1 MS, then allow-ed to return to a logic high. The step logic isactivated on the positive-going edge, which inturn activates one of four output sink drivers.The DIRECTION CONTROL determines thesequence of states (A-B-C-D, or A-D-C-B).

In the full-step mode the MONOSTABLE RCtiming pin is tied to Vcc» making states B and Dstationary states. A separate input pulse is re-quired to move through each of the four outputstates.

The UCN-4202A will also perform a double-step function. In the double-step mode, states Band D are transition states with duration deter-mined by the MONOSTABLE RC timing. Im-proved motor torque is obtained at double thenominal motor step angle, and motor stability isimproved for high step rates.

Higher current ratings, or bipolar operationcan be obtained by using the UCN-4202A as alogic translator to drive discrete high-powertransistors or the Sprague UDN-2949Z Half-Bridge Motor Driver.

MAXIMUM COLLECTOR CURRENT AS A FUNCTION OFMOTOR TIME CONSTANT AND STEP RATE

Notes. 1. Values shown take into account static d-c losses (VSAT'OUT and Vcc'cc)as we" as

switching losses induced by inductive flyback through the clamp diodes withVK = 12 volts. Maximum package power dissipation is assumed to be 1.33watts at +70°C. Higher package power dissipation may be obtained at loweroperating temperatures.

2 Use of external discrete flyback diodes will eliminate power dissipationresulting from switching losses and will allow the full 500 mA outputcapability (Output A, B, C, or D and the Driver Output) under all conditions.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Pow«r-On R«s«tAn internal RS flip-flop sets the Output A

"ON" with the initial application of power.This state occurs approximately 30 /^s after thelogic supply voltage reaches 4 volts with supplyrise times of up to 10 ms/V. Once reset, the cir-cuit functions according to the logic input condi-tions.Step Enabl»

Pin 9 (Step Enable) must be held high toenable the step pulses for advancing the motorto reach the translator logic clock circuits. Pull-ing this pin low inhibits the translator logic.Stop Input

Pin 10 (Step Input) is normally high. The logicwill advance one position on the positive transi-tion after the input has been pulled low for atleast 1 ps. The Step Input current specification iscompatible with NMOS and CMOS.Direction Control

The direction of output rotation is determinedby the logic level at pin 12. If the input is heldhigh the rotation is A-D-C-B; if pulled low therotation is A-B-C-D. This input is also NMOSand CMOS compatible.

Output Enabl*

Outputs A through D are inhibited (all out-puts "OFF") when pin l(Output Enable) is athigh level. This condition creates a potential forwire-ORing of device outputs, or other potentialcontrol functions such as chopping or bi-leveldrive.

Transient Suppression

All five power outputs are diode protectedagainst inductive transients. However, Zenerdiode or resistor "flyback" voltage techniquesare not allowed.

Full-Step /Double-StepFull-Step operation is the most commonly

used drive technique. The UCN-4202A iscapable of unipolar drive without external activedevices, either in a full-step mode (pin 11Monostable RC tied high), or in a double-stepmode (pin 11 connected to RC timing). Thedouble-step mode provides improved torquecharacteristics, while the specified angular incre-ment is doubled.

FEATURESHigh-Voltage, High-Current OutputsOutput Transient ProtectionCMOS, PMOS, NMOS, TTL Compatible InputsInternal Pull-Down ResistorsLow-Power CMOS Latches

'T'HESE high-voltage, high-current latch/drivers-*- are comprised of four or eight CMOS datalatches, a bipolar Darlington transistor driver foreach latch, and CMOS control circuitry for thecommon CLEAR, STROBE, and OUTPUT ENA-BLE functions. The bipolar/MOS combination pro-vides an extremely low-power latch with maximuminterface flexibility. The UCN-4401A contains fourlatch/drivers while the UCN4801A contains eightlatch/drivers.

The CMOS inputs are compatible with standardCMOS, PMOS, and NMOS circuits. TTL or DTLcircuits may require the use of appropriate pull-upresistors. The bipolar outputs are suitable for usewith relays, solenoids, stepping motors, LED orincandescent displays, and other high-power loads.

Both units feature open-collector outputs and in-tegral diodes for inductive load transient suppres-sion. The output transistors are capable of sinking500 mA and will sustain at least 50 V in the OFFstate. Because of limitations on package power dis-sipation, the simultaneous operation of all drivers atmaximum rated current can only be accomplished bya reduction in duty cycle. Outputs may be paralleledfor higher load current capability.

The UCN-4401A 4-latch device is furnished in astandard 14-pin dual in-line plastic package. TheUCN-4801A 8-latch device is furnished in a 22-pindual in-line plastic package with lead centers on0.400" (10.16 mm) spacing. All outputs are pinnedopposite their respective inputs to simplify circuitboard layout.

GUIDE TO INSTALLATION

1. All Hall effect integrated circuits aresusceptible to mechanical stress effects. Cautionshould be exercised to minimize the applicationof stress to the leads or the epoxy package.

2. To prevent permanent damage to the Hallcell I.C., heat sink the leads during handsoldering. For wave soldering, the pan shouldnot experience more than 230°C for more than 5seconds and no closer than 0.125" to the epoxypackage.

OPERATIONThe output transistors are normally "off" when

the magnetic field perpendicular to the surface of thechip is below the threshold or "operate point."When the field exceeds the "operate point," eachoutput transistor switches "on" and is capable ofsinking 15 mA of current. Selections to 30 mA areavailable.

" The output transistors switch "off" when themagnetic field is reduced beiow the "release point"(which is less than the "operate point"). This isillustrated graphically in the transfer characteristicscurve. The hysteresis characteristic provides for un-ambiguous or non-oscillatory switching.

The simplest form of magnet which will operatethe Mali effect digital switch is a bar magnet asshown. Other methods are possible.

In the illustration, the magnet's axis is on thecenter line of the packaged device and the magnet ismoved toward and away from the device. Also, notethe orientation of the magnet's south pole in relationto the branded surface of the package.

The magnetic flux density is indicated for themost sensitive area of the device. This area is cen-trally located and 0.032" ±0.002" (0.81 ±0.05mm) below the branded surface of the package.

For reference purposes, both an Alnico VTII mag-net, 0.212" (5.38 mm) in diameter and 0.187"(4.75 mm) long and a samarium cobalt magnet,0.100" (2.54 mm) square and 0.040" (1.02 mm)thick, are approximately 1200 gauss at its surface.

The flux density decays at a high rate as thedistance from a pole increases.

As an example, using the Alnico VIII magnetreferenced above in good alignment and the polesurface in contact with the branded surface of thepackage, the flux density at the active Hall sensingarea of the device would be approximately 850gauss (0.032" below the package surface).

The flux density would drop to approximately 600gauss with an air-gap between the package and themagnet of 0.031" (0.79 mm).

Switching point variations with temperatureshould be considered in applications covering awide temperature range.
