Theory

A multivibrator in which one transistor is always conducting (i.e. in the ON state)

and the other is non-conducting (i.e. in the OFF state) is called a monostable
multivibrator. Monostable Multivibrator or one-shot multivibrator has one stable state
and one quasi-stable state. i.e. When one transistor is conducting and the other is non-
conducting, the circuit will remain in this stable state until the application of external
trigger pulse. After a certain time the circuit will automatically switch back to the
original stable state and remains there until another pulse is applied. The circuit of a
transistor monostable multivibrator is shown in the figure. With the above circuit
arrangement Q1 is at cut-off and Q2 is at saturation. This represents the stable state.
The base of Q1 is kept at a negative potential to ensure that it is always OFF unless
when trigger is applied. The triggering network consists of the voltage source, the
input capacitor, R4, R5 and D1.

When a trigger pulse is applied, Q1 turns ON and the collector voltage of Q1 drops
from VCC to the saturation voltage of 0.2V. This negative change is coupled to the
base of Q2 by the capacitor which inturn causes Q2 to turn OFF. This represents the
quasi-stable state. Now the capacitor starts charging towards VCC. When the capacitor
voltage reaches 0.7V, transistor Q2 turns ON and Q1 switches back to the OFF state.

3. Circuit diagram:
 4. Theory:
A Bi stable circuit is one which can exist indefinitely in either of two stable states and which
can be induced to make an abrupt transition from one state to the other by means of external
excitation. The Bi stable circuit is also called as Bi stable multivibrator, Eccles Jordon circuit,
Trigger circuit, Scale-of-2 toggle circuit, Flip-Flop & Binary.
A Bi stable multivibratior is used in a many digital operations such as counting and the storing of
binary information. It is also used in the generation and processing of pulse-type waveform.
They can be used to control digital circuits and as frequency dividers.
There are two outputs available which are complements of one another. i.e. when one output is
high the other is low and vice versa .

5. Operation:
When VCC is applied, one transistor will start conducting slightly more than that of the other,
because of some differences in the characteristics of a transistor. Let Q2 be ON and Q1 be OFF.
When Q2 is ON, The potential at the collector of Q2 decreases, which in turn will decrease the
potential at the base of Q1 due to potential divider action of R1 and R2. The potential at the
collector of Q1 increases which in turn further increases the base to emitter voltage at the base of
Q2. The voltage at the collector of Q2 further decreases, which in turn further reduces the voltage
at the base of Q1. This action will continue till Q2 becomes fully saturated and Q1 becomes fully
cutoff.
Thus the stable state of binary is such that one device remains in cut-off and other device
remains at saturation. It will be in that state until the triggering pulse is applied to it. It has two
stable states. For every transition of states triggering is required. At a time only one device will
be conducting.

6. NEED OF COMMUTATING CAPACITORS (SPEED UP CAPACITORS):

It is desired that the transition should take place as soon as the trigger pulse is applied but such is
not the case.
When transistor is in active region it stores charge in its base and when it is in the saturation
region it stores even more charge. Hence transistor cannot come out of saturation to cut- off.
Until all such charges are removed. The interval during which conduction transfer one transistor
to other is called as the transition

Circuit diagram:

Fig. 1.1 Astable Multivibrator

Theory:
The Astable circuit has two quasi-stable states. Without external triggering signal the Astable
configuration will make successive transitions from one quasi-stable state to the other. The
Astable circuit is an oscillator. It is also called as free running multivibrator and is used to
generate “Square Wave”. Since it does not require triggering signal, fast switching is possible.
Operation:
When the power is applied, due to some imbalance in the circuit, the transistor Q2 conducts more
than Q1 i.e. current flowing through transistor Q2 is more than the current flowing in transistor
Q1. The voltage VC2 drops. This drop is coupled by the capacitor C1 to the base by Q1 there by
reducing its forward base-emitter voltage and causing Q1 to conduct less. As the current through
Q1 decreases, VC1 rises. This rise is coupled by the capacitor C2 to the base of Q2. There by
increasing its base- emitter forward bias. This Q2 conducts more and more and Q1 conducts less
and less, each action reinforcing the other. Ultimately Q2 gets saturated and becomes fully ON
and Q1 becomes OFF. During this time C1 has been charging towards VCC exponentially with a
time constant T1 = R1C1. The polarity of C1 should be such that it should supply voltage to the
base of Q1. When C1 gains sufficient voltage, it drives Q1 ON. Then VC1 decreases and makes
Q2 OFF. VC2 increases and makes Q1 fully saturated. During this time C2 has been charging
through VCC, R2, C2 and Q2 with a time constant T2 = R2C2. The polarity of C2 should be such
that it should supply voltage to the base of Q2. When C2 gains sufficient voltage, it drives Q2 On,
and the process repeats.
Design Procedure:
The period T is given by
T = T1 + T2 = 0.69 (R1C1 + R2C2)
For symmetrical circuit, with R1 = R2 = R & C1 = C2 = C
T = 1.38 RC

3. Trace the waveforms at collector and base as each transistor with the help of dual trace
CRO and plot the waveforms.
 4. Verify the practical output frequency with theoretical values f = 1/T, where T = 1.38 RC

Operation of Schmitt trigger circuit

Aim of experiment

Aim is to study the working of a schmitt trigger

Schmitt Trigger or Regenerative Comparator Circuit

A Schmitt trigger circuit is also called a regenerative comparator circuit. The circuit is designed
with a positive feedback and hence will have a regenerative action which will make the output
switch levels. Also, the use of positive voltage feedback instead of a negative feedback, aids the
feedback voltage to the input voltage, instead of opposing it. The use of a regenerative circuit is
to remove the difficulties in a zero-crossing detector circuit due to low frequency signals and
input noise voltages.

Shown below is the circuit diagram of a Schmitt trigger. It is basically an inverting comparator
circuit with a positive feedback. The purpose of the Schmitt trigger is to convert any regular or
irregular shaped input waveform into a square wave output voltage or pulse. Thus, it can also be
called a squaring circuit.

Schmitt Trigger Circuit Using Op-Amp uA741 IC

As shown in the circuit diagram, a voltage divider with resistors Rdiv1 and Rdiv2 is set in the
positive feedback of the 741 IC op-amp. The same values of Rdiv1 and Rdiv2 are used to get the
resistance value Rpar = Rdiv1||Rdiv2 which is connected in series with the input voltage. Rpar is
used to minimize the offset problems. The voltage across R1 is fedback to the non-inverting
input. The input voltage Vi triggers or changes the state of output Vout every time it exceeds its
voltage levels above a certain threshold value called Upper Threshold Voltage (Vupt) and Lower
Threshold Voltage (Vlpt).

Let us assume that the inverting input voltage has a slight positive value. This will cause a
negative value in the output. This negative voltage is fedback to the non-inverting terminal (+) of
the op-amp through the voltage divider. Thus, the value of the negative voltage that is fedback to
the positive terminal becomes higher. The value of the negative voltage becomes again higher
until the circuit is driven into negative saturation (-Vsat). Now, let us assume that the inverting
input voltage has a slight negative value. This will cause a positive value in the output. This
positive voltage is fedback to the non-inverting terminal (+) of the op-amp through the voltage
divider. Thus, the value of the positive voltage that is fedback to the positive terminal becomes
higher. The value of the positive voltage becomes again higher until the circuit is driven into
positive saturation (+Vsat). This is why the circuit is also named a regenerative comparator
circuit.

Schmitt Trigger Input and Output Waveform

When Vout = +Vsat, the voltage across Rdiv1 is called Upper Threshold Voltage (Vupt). The
input voltage, Vin must be slightly more positive than Vupt inorder to cause the output Vo to
switch from +Vsat to -Vsat. When the input voltage is less than Vupt, the output voltage Vout is
at +Vsat.

Upper Threshold Voltage, Vupt = +Vsat (Rdiv1/[Rdiv1+Rdiv2])

When Vout = -Vsat, the voltage across Rdiv1 is called Lower Threshold Voltage (Vlpt). The
input voltage, Vin must be slightly more negaitive than Vlpt inorder to cause the output Vo to
switch from -Vsat to +Vsat. When the input voltage is less than Vlpt, the output voltage Vout is
at -Vsat.

Lower Threshold Voltage, Vlpt = -Vsat (Rdiv1/[Rdiv1+Rdiv2])

If the value of Vupt and Vlpt are higher than the input noise voltage, the positive feedback will
eliminate the false output transitions. With the help of positive feedback and its regenerative
behaviour, the output voltage will switch fast between the positive and negative saturation
voltages.

Hysteresis Characteristics

Since a comparator circuit with a positive feedback is used, a dead band condition hysteresis can
occur in the output. When the input of the comparator has a value higher than Vupt, its output
switches from +Vsat to -Vsat and reverts back to its original state, +Vsat, when the input value
goes below Vlpt. This is shown in the figure below. The hysteresis voltage can be calculated as
the difference between the upper and lower threshold voltages.

Vhysteresis = Vupt – Vlpt

Subsituting the values of Vupt and Vlpt from the above equations:

Vhysteresis = +Vsat (Rdiv1/Rdiv1+Rdiv2) – {-Vsat (Rdiv1/Rdiv1+Rdiv2)}

Vhysteresis = (Rdiv1/Rdiv1+Rdiv2) {+Vsat – (-Vsat)}

 Schmitt-Trigger-Hysteresis Characteristics

Applications of Schmitt Trigger

Schmitt trigger is mostly used to convert a very slowly varying input voltage into an output
having abruptly varying waveform occurring precisely at certain predetermined value of input
voltage. Schmitt trigger may be used for all applications for which a general comparator is used.
Any type of input voltage can be converted into its corresponding square signal wave. The only
condition is that the input signal must have large enough excursion to carry the input voltage
beyond the limits of the hysteresis range. The amplitude of the square wave is independent of the
peak-to-peak value of the input waveform.

Theory:
A comparator is a circuit that performs a comparison between two voltages (V1 and

switching its output either high (if V1 > V2) or low (if V1 < V2).
An operational amplifier may be used to perform this function.

If V1>V2, Vout will swing up to the positive output saturation voltage +VSAT (+VSAT

 If V2>V1 , Vout will swing down to the negative output saturation voltage -VSAT (-VSAT
- V). Thus for any values of V1 and V2 (except V1 = V2), Vout will go to either +VSAT
(high) or –VSAT (low). High or low values for Vout may be used as a signal to show that
either V1>V2 or V1<V2 respectively.
If V1 = V2, the output is uncertain. This may be overcome by using positive feedback
to add some hysteresis to the transfer characteristic –

Operation of Integrator circuit.

Aim:
different input To design and simulate an Integrator circuit and observe output with waveforms
.
Components required:

Function generator, CRO, Regulated Power supply, resistor, capacitor, 741 IC, connecting wires.

Vlab Specifications Taken:

Integrator circuit design has been implemented on the virtual breadboard using following
specifications:
 Power Supply: +10v and -10v
 Function generator: Selected wave with following specifications:
 Frequency=50Hz,55Hz,60Hz,100Hz.
Amplitude:2V
Duty cycle = 50%
 Capacitor C: 1000nF
 Resistor R1: 1.369K

Theory:
The circuit in fig 1 is an integrator, which is also a low-pass filter with a time constant=R1C.
When a voltage, Vin is firstly applied to the input of an integrating amplifier, the uncharged
capacitor C has very little resistance and acts a bit like a short circuit (voltage follower circuit)
giving an overall gain of less than 1, thus resulting in zero output. As the feedback capacitor C
begins to charge up, its reactance Xc decreases and the ratio of Zf/R1 increases producing an
output voltage that continues to increase until the capacitor is fully charged. At this point the
ratio of feedback capacitor to input resistor (Zf/R1) is infinite resulting in infinite gain and the
output of the amplifier goes into saturation. (Saturation is when the output voltage of the
amplifier swings heavily to one voltage supply rail or the other with no control in between). The
circuit design generate triangular wave providing square wave as input to the integrator. Hence,
the integrator circuit generates integral output with respect to the input waveform.

below:
1. Input Voltage: 2.09V
2. Frequency: 50Hz
3. Output Voltage: 4.31V
4. Phase Difference: -92
Calculations:
If input Vin = 2.09 sin (2*50*t)
Output of the integrator will be equal to

Thus,

Hence theoretically, output voltage should be 4.72V and phase difference between input outputs
should be -90°.
Experimentally phase difference observed is about 92 and output voltage 4.31V.

Operation of Blocking Oscillator circuit

Aim:
Aim is to study the working of a Blocking Oscillator circuit

An oscillator is a circuit that provides an alternating voltage or current by its own, without any
input applied. An Oscillator needs an amplifier and also a feedback from the output. The
feedback provided should be regenerative feedback which along with the portion of the output
signal, contains a component in the output signal, which is in phase with the input signal. An
oscillator that uses a regenerative feedback to generate a nonsinusoidal output is called
as Relaxation Oscillator.

We have already seen UJT relaxation oscillator. Another type of relaxation oscillator is the
Blocking oscillator.

Blocking Oscillator
A blocking oscillator is a waveform generator that is used to produce narrow pulses or trigger
pulses. While having the feedback from the output signal, it blocks the feedback, after a cycle,
for certain predetermined time. This feature of blocking the output while being an oscillator,
gets the name blocking oscillator to it.

In the construction of a blocking oscillator, the transistor is used as an amplifier and the
transformer is used for feedback. The transformer used here is a Pulse transformer. The
symbol of a pulse transformer is as shown below.
Pulse Transformer
A Pulse transformer is one which couples a source of rectangular pulses of electrical energy to
the load. Keeping the shape and other properties of pulses unchanged. They are wide band
transformers with minimum attenuationand zero or minimum phase change.

The output of the transformer depends upon the charge and discharge of the capacitor
connected.

The regenerative feedback is made easy by using pulse transformer. The output can be fed back
to the input in the same phase by properly choosing the winding polarities of the pulse
transformer. Blocking oscillator is such a free-running oscillator made using a capacitor and a
pulse transformer along with a single transistor which is cut off for most of the duty cycle
producing periodic pulses.

Using the blocking oscillator, Astable and Monostable operations are possible. But Bistable
operation is not possible. Let us go through them.

Monostable Blocking Oscillator

If the blocking oscillator needs a single pulse, to change its state, it is called as a Monostable
blocking oscillator circuit. These Monostable blocking oscillators can be of two types. They are

 Monostable blocking oscillator with base timing

  Monostable blocking oscillator with emitter timing
In both of these, a timing resistor R controls the gate width, which when placed in the base of
transistor becomes base timing circuit and when placed in the emitter of transistor becomes
emitter timing circuit.

To have a clear understanding, let us discuss the working of base timing Monostable
Multivibrator.

Transistor Triggered Monostable blocking oscillator with Base timing

A transistor, a pulse transformer for feedback and a resistor in the base of the transistor
constitute the circuit of a transistor triggered Monostable blocking oscillator with base timing.
The pulse transformer used here has a turns ratio of n: 1 where the base circuit has n turns for
every turn on the collector circuit. A resistance R is connected in series to the base of the
transistor which controls the pulse duration.

Initially the transistor is in OFF condition. As shown in the following figure, VBB is considered
zero or too low, which is negligible.

The voltage at the collector is VCC, since the device is OFF. But when a negative trigger is
applied at the collector, the voltage gets reduced. Because of the winding polarities of the
transformer, the collector voltage goes down, while the base voltage rises.

When the base to emitter voltage becomes greater than the cut-in voltage, i.e.
VBE>VγVBE>Vγ
Then, a small base current is observed. This raises the collector current which decreases the
collector voltage. This action cumulates further, which increases the collector current and
decreases the collector voltage further. With the regenerative feedback action, if the loop gain
increases, the transistor gets into saturation quickly. But this is not a stable state.

Then, a small base current is observed. This raises the collector current which decreases the
collector voltage. This action cumulates further, which increases the collector current and
decreases the collector voltage further. With the regenerative feedback action, if the loop gain
increases, the transistor gets into saturation quickly. But this is not a stable state.

When the transistor gets into saturation, the collector current increases and the base current is
constant. Now, the collector current slowly starts charging the capacitor and the voltage at the
transformer reduces. Due to the transformer winding polarities, the base voltage gets increased.
This in turn decreases the base current. This cumulative action, throws the transistor into cut off
condition, which is the stable state of the circuit.

The output waveforms are as follows −

The main disadvantage of this circuit is that the output Pulse width cannot be maintained
stable. We know that the collector current is
ic=hFEiBic=hFEiB
As the hFE is temperature dependent and the pulse width varies linearly with this, the output
pulse width cannot be stable. Also hFE varies with the transistor used.

Anyways, this disadvantage can be eliminated if the resistor is placed in emitter, which means
the solution is the emitter timing circuit. When the above condition occurs, the transistor turns
OFF in the emitter timing circuit and so a stable output is obtained.

Astable Blocking Oscillator

If the blocking oscillator can change its state automatically, it is called as an Astable blocking
oscillator circuit. These Astable blocking oscillators can be of two types. They are

 Diode controlled Astable blocking oscillator

  RC controlled Astable blocking oscillator
In diode controlled Astable blocking oscillator, a diode placed in the collector changes the state
of the blocking oscillator. While in the RC controlled Astable blocking oscillator, a timing
resistor R and capacitor C form a network in the emitter section to control the pulse timings.

To have a clear understanding, let us discuss the working of Diode controlled Astable blocking
oscillator.

Diode controlled Astable blocking oscillator

The diode controlled Astable blocking oscillator contains a pulse transformer in the collector
circuit. A capacitor is connected in between transformer secondary and the base of the
transistor. The transformer primary and the diode are connected in the collector.

An initial pulse is given at the collector of the transistor to initiate the process and from
there no pulses are required and the circuit behaves as an Astable Multivibrator. The figure
below shows the circuit of a diode controlled Astable blocking oscillator.

Initially the transistor is in OFF state. To initiate the circuit, a negative trigger pulse is applied at
the collector. The diode whose anode is connected to the collector, will be in reverse biased
condition and will be OFF by the application of this negative trigger pulse.

This pulse is applied to the pulse transformer and due to the winding polarities (as indicated in
the figure), same amount of voltage gets induced without any phase inversion. This voltage
flows through the capacitor towards the base, contributing some base current. This base current,
develops some base to emitter voltage, which when crosses the cut-in voltage, pushes the
transistor Q1 to ON. Now, the collector current of the transistor Q1 raises and it gets applied to
both the diode and the transformer. The diode which is initially OFF gets ON now. The voltage
that gets induced into the transformer primary windings induces some voltage into the
transformer secondary winding, using which the capacitor starts charging.

As the capacitor will not deliver any current while it is getting charged, the base current iB stops
flowing. This turns the transistor Q1 OFF. Hence the state is changed.

Now, the diode which was ON, has some voltage across it, which gets applied to the
transformer primary, which is induced into the secondary. Now, the current flows through the
capacitor which lets the capacitor discharge. Hence the base current iB flows turning the
transistor ON again. The output waveforms are as shown below.

As the diode helps the transistor to change its state, this circuit is diode controlled. Also, as the
trigger pulse is applied only at the time of initiation, whereas the circuit keeps on changing its
state all by its own, this circuit is an Astable oscillator. Hence the name diode controlled
Astable blocking oscillator is given.

Another type of circuit uses R and C combination in the emitter portion of the transistor and it is
called as RC controlled Astable blocking oscillator circuit.

Operation of Shift registers and counters.

Aim of experiment:

Aim is to study the Shift registers and counters.

Introduction

Shift registers are specialized memory systems composed of flip-flops or other types of
memory cells. The distinguishing feature of shift registers is that data can be transferred on
command from one cell to the adjacent memory cell as many times as needed.
The simplest shift registers will transfer one data bit in for each clock cycle until the
register capacity is reached. At this time the register contents may be sampled.
More complex registers will allow direct sampling of each output stage so that the
register contents can be examined on each clock cycle. Other registers allow parallel loading
where the entire register is loaded at once.
A special type of shift register known as the universal shift register will shift entries left
or right, and input or output data serially or parallel. Shift registers may be constructed from
either J-K flip-flops as shown in Figure.6.1 or from D flip-flops as shown in Figure.6.2.

The single data input of the shift register in Figure.6.1 is known as a single rail input. If
the J and K inputs are used as separate data inputs then the shift register is said to have a
dual rail input. Likewise if the shift register uses both the true and complement outputs the
circuit is called a dual rail output circuit. Of course if only one of the outputs is used then
the circuit is described as having a single rail output. Note that the output of the J-K shift
register shown can be either serial or parallel. Shift registers can be classified as :

a. Serial-in/serial-out : SISO
b. Serial-in/parallel-out : SIPO

d. Parallel-in/parallel-out : PIPO

All parallel input registers can be operated as serial input registers and the same is true for
output. The reverse situation is not true in that serial input registers cannot be operated as
parallel input registers.

Johnson Counter :

Shift registers can be used to form a special kind of counter known as a ring counter. A
ring counter works by loading a binary ONE into the input flip-flop of a shift register and
tying the register output to the input. When the register is clocked the ONE will move
through the register one cell at a time. After a number of clock pulses equal to the number of
cells in the register, the ONE will circuit back to the input flip-flop.
This allows a form of counting. This type of counter uses more flip-flops than required to
perform the count. For example, three flip-flops configured as a ring counter can have only
three states or counts while a binary counter with three flip-flops can count eight states when
properly decoded.
The advantage of the ring counter is that no decoding is required to determine the count.
The ring counter has 2N-N disallowed states where that N is the number of flip-flops. A
special type of ring counter is the Johnson counter.
The Johnson counter has the output inverted before it is fed back into the input so that the
maximum count is 2·N with N being the number of flip-flops. This, of course means that the
 Johnson counter has (2N)-(2 · N) disallowed states. The Johnson counter makes better use of
the flip-flops than a simple ring counter and it also can be decoded by using a two-input
AND for each decoded output. Schematic for a 3-flip-flop Johnson counter is shown in
Figure.6.3.

Operation of EPROM eraser.

Aim of experiment

Aim is to study the EPROM eraser.

Introduction - Ultraviolet Light

The invisible band of radiation just beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum is called
ultraviolet light. That spectrum includes the wavelength that is instrumental in erasing
EPROMs: 253.7nm, frequently referred to as approximately 254nm or 2537 Angstrom. The
radiant incidence of this energy at the location of the EPROM is a function of the distance
between the light source and the EPROM and the geometry of the light source. The DE-50
EPROM Erasing System design optimizes these elements to give the best possible performance.

Design Features

The DE-50 EPROM Erasing System is designed to provide safe tools for exposure of
EPROMs to shortwave ultraviolet radiation. Features include:
· Superior reflectors that maximize UV output and distribution
· A 60 minute automatic shut-off timer
· A safety interlock prevents UV exposure to personnel
· PC board compatibility
· Long life, high intensity UV tubes for minimum erase times
· A viewport for each UV tube to observe tube operation
· A conductive foam pad to eliminate electrostatic build up
· A rugged metal housing

Specifications
The DE-50 EPROM Eraser has the following specifications:

Capacity: 50 EPROMs (24 pin type)

Size: 4.11 in. H (10.44 cm) x 11.70 in. W (29.72 cm) x 13.44 in. D(34.14
cm)
 Drawer Depth: 1.375 in. (3.49 cm)
Weight: 13.75 lbs (6.25 kg)
Power: 100V, 50 Hz, 1 Amp
110V, 60 Hz, 1 Amp
230V, 50 Hz, 1 Amp
Operating Instructions

Set-Up Procedures

1. Slide the tray out unit it stops.

2. Press the EPROMs to be erased down into the foam pad. As the radiant incidence is
somewhat greater near the center than the edges, place the EPROMs more towards the
center unless the full capacity of the unit is to be used.
3. Close the drawer all the way. (The unit has a safety interlock and will not operate if the
drawer is open.)

4. Plug in the unit and set the timer for the desired erase time. When the timer is set
and the unit is in operation, the five view ports will glow green without
emitting harmful shortwave radiation.

Erase Time and Exposure Considerations

Erase time is inversely proportional to the radiant incidence from the lamp at the EPROM
surface. Radiant incidence from the lamp at the EPROM surface varies with EPROM
location in the unit and with lamp temperatures, running time and individual lamp
differences. The following table lists recommended times to erase all EPROMs placed in a
new unit. Most EPROMs require a dosage of 15 W-sec/cm2 for erasure. However, erasure
requirements vary from 6 W-sec/cm2 to 25 W-sec/cm2. Check with the EPROM
manufacturer for specific recommended dosages.
Typical EPROM
Nominal # of Erasure
Intensity 24 Pin Time in Minutes
Model μ W/cm2 EPROMs 15 W-sec/cm2
DE-50 12,000 1 - 50 5.9 *

Average erasure time for repeated tests of 50 Intel 2732A EPROMs with recommended erasure
dosage of 15 W-sec/cm2.
Maintenance

CAUTION: Do not attempt to operate this unit while it is plugged into the AC outlet.
Failure to unplug the unit from the AC outlet before disassembly will result in an electrical
shock hazard.

WARNING: Do not attempt to operate this unit in the disassembled condition as that may
expose the eyes and skin to shortwave UV light that is harmful to the unprotected eyes and
skin!
This unit is virtually maintenance free. If the lamp fails to start, check to see that:

1. The unit is plugged in.

2. The drawer is pushed all the way in (listen for the click of the limited switch).
3. The timer is on.
4. Check the fuse to see if they are operational.

If a problem still exists, return the unit to the factory for inspection and repair. If the unit
has been heavily used for a long time, it may be desirable to replace the lamp to reduce
erase times to their original values.

Tube Replacement Steps

1. Unplug the unit.

2. Use a Phillip’s screwdriver to remove back cover.
3. Remove drawer by sliding all the way out and then tilting upwards.
4. Using both hands, reach in each side of unit, grasp the tube and gently twist 90o (it does
not matter which direction). Tube should easily slip out.
5. Slide new tube into the unit. Using both hands, gently push the replacement tube up and
twist into place.
6. Replace unit back cover.
7. Replace drawer (be sure it is fully closed or safely shut-off will prevent unit operation).
8. Plug unit in and observe the viewport for that specific lamp to verify lamp operation.
 Schematic Diagram

The schematic diagram for DE-50 models is shown below.

Accessories
UVX Radiometer

Maximum efficiencies of all EPROM erasers rely on proper knowledge of lamp

intensities. As with all mercury vapor discharge lamps, intensity decreases over time with
use. Due to the general unpredictability of the rate of UV intensity decline, cumulative
hour meters in EPROM erasers cannot accurately indicate lamp condition. Use of a
shortwave ultraviolet measuring device is therefore the most effective method of
determining proper erasure time and monitoring useful life of any UV source.
The UVX Radiometer equipped with a UVX-25 Sensor is such a state-of-the-art
measuring device. Ideal for obtaining accurate UV irradiance measurements, the UVX is
calibrated to NIST standards to assure accuracy of readings. Built to withstand day-to-day
use in a production environment, the UVX delivers the needed measurements to assure
accurate erasure time calculations.

Theory:-
MULTIPLEXER:b> A multiplexer (MUX) is a many to one device. It allows input from many
different sources to be transmitted to a common destination. The destination to which a particular

from one of many input sources for transmission over a common shared line.

To achieve this MUX has several data lines and a single output along with data-select inputs,
which permit digital data on any of the inputs to be switched to the output line. The logic symbol
for a 1- to-4 data selector/multiplexer is shown in Figure
The truth table for a Multiplexer is given below:

The logic equation for the output can be written as:

Output= I0.S1'.S0' + I1.S1'.S0 + I2.S1.S0' + I3.S1.S0
And the logic diagram for implementing the above equation is drawn below:

Operation of A/D converter

AIM: -Study of 8-bit monolithic Analog to digital converter.

APPARATUS REQUIRED: -

- ST2601 with power supply cord, Connecting Cords

THEORY: -
Successive approximation ADC uses one or a few comparators, operated iteratively, to yield
high accuracy conversion with far fewer components than flash conversion. A/D converter using
successive approximation technique effectively performs a binary search in a digital analog look
up table and using a digital to analog converter (DAC) and comparator circuit. Successive
approximation converters also allow higher resolutions but tend to be slower since they usually
require N cycles to produce the answer. Successive approximation ADC operates at much slower
conversion rates than flash ADC. Sub ranging analog to digital converters provide an
intermediate compromise between flash ADCs and successive approximation ADCs. Sub
ranging analog to digital converters typically use a low resolution flash quantizer during a first or
coarse pass to convert the analog input signal into the most significant bits (MSB) of its digital
value. A digital to analog converter (DAC) then generates an analog version of the MSB word.
The residue signal is sent through one or more fine passes to produce the lower significant bits of
the input signal. The lower significant bits and the MSB word are then combined by digital error
correcting circuitry to produce the desired digital output word. A switched capacitor analog to
digital converter (ADC) operated according to successive approximation register technique
comprises a plurality of weighted capacitors with associated switches and a local DAC. The
capacitors are charged by a voltage sample of an analog signal to be converted. The voltage
sample is compared with an analog signal generated by the local DAC.

seven segments display circuit

Aim: Operation of seven segments display circuit.

Apparatus:

SN 7447 BCD-to-seven segment decoder.

Theory:
BCD-to-seven Segment converter:

A light emitting Diode (LED) is a PN junction diode. When the diode is forward biased, a
current flows through the junction and the light is emitted. See Fig.1

.
Fig.1
A seven segment LED display contains 7 LEDs. Each LED is called a segment and they are
identified as (a, b, c, d, e, f, g) segments. See Figure 2

53
 Fig. 2.. Digits represented by the 7 segments

Fig. 3.. Digits represented by the 7 segments

The display has 7 inputs each connected to an LED segment. All anodes of LEDs are tied
together and joined to 5 volts (this type is called common anode type). A limiting resistance
network must be used at the inputs to protect the 7-segment from overloading. BCD inputs are
converted into 7 segment inputs (a, b, c, d, e, f, g) by using a decoder, as shown in Fig. 3.5. A
decoder is a combinational circuit that converts binary information from n input lines to a
maximum of 2n output lines. The input to the decoder is a BCD code and the outputs of the
systems are the seven segments a, b, c, d, e, f, and g. For further information and pin
connections, consult the specification sheet for decoder and 7-segment units.
Experimental Procedure:

(1) First design a combinational circuit, which would implement the decoder function for
only the segment “a”, of the display.
This can be done in the following steps:
a) Write down the truth table with 4 inputs and 7 outputs (Table 1).
b) For only the output “a”, obtain a minimum logic function. Realize this function using
NAND gates and inverters only. For example if decimal 9 is to be displayed a, b, c, d, f, g
must be 0 and the others must be 1 (For common anode type display units), if decimal 5
is to be displayed then a, f, g, c, d must be 0 and the others must be 1.
c) Connect the output “a” of your circuit to appropriate input of 7-segment display unit.
By applying BCD codes verify the displayed decimal digits for that segment for “a” of
the display.
d) Replace your circuit by a decoder IC 7447 for all of the seven segments. Observe the
display and record the segments that will light up for invalid inputs sequence.
