Explanation to the Block Diagram Of CRO

Block diagram of CRO

The below fig gives the block diagram of a CRO. A CRO consists of the following main blocks.

1. Cathode Ray Tube (CRT)

2. Vertical amplifier

3. Delay line

4. Trigger circuit

5. Time-base generator

6. Horizontal amplifier

7. High / low voltage supply.

Pic 1 Block Diagram of CRO

CRT is the heart of the CRO. It produces visual pattern on its screen. An electron gun assembly produces a sharp beam of electrons which is accelerated and made to strike fluorescent screen. On the other side of this screen, a small visual spot is produced. In this journey from the electron gum, the electron beam passes through a pair of vertical deflecting plates and another pair of horizontal deflecting plates.

The vertical deflecting plates move the beam vertically up and down. The horizontal deflecting plates move the beam the sideways. They are independently operated by the application of voltages to the corresponding plates with required polarities. By properly applying the potentials on the deflecting plates, the electron beam can be made to move to any part of the fluorescent screen.

The signal whose waveform is to be analyses is given to the vertical input terminals of the CRO. An amplifier called the vertical amplifier amplifies the input signal. The output in the push-pull form to applied to the vertical deflection plates through a delay line. The time base generator or sweep generator produces a saw tooth wave form. The rate of this waveform is controlled by a control on the front panel of CRO. The time base generators output is amplified in an amplifier is called the horizontal amplifier. After amplification it is given to the horizontal deflection plates in push-pull form. Application of the voltage to the horizontal deflection plates makes the spot on the screen to deflect from left to right.

The trigger circuit controls the instants at which the sweet voltage is to be applied to the horizontal deflection plates. There are two power supplies called HT supply and LV supply. The HT supply, supplies the voltage to the electrodes of CRT whereas LV supply supplies to other devices used in CRO.

Block diagram of AM transmitter and receiver with explanation

Block diagram of AM transmitter and receiver with explanation AM Transmitter : Transmitters that transmit AM signals are known as AM transmitters. These transmitters are used in medium wave (MW) and short wave (SW) frequency bands for AM broadcast. The MW band has frequencies between 550 KHz and 1650 KHz, and the SW band has frequencies ranging from 3 MHz to 30 MHz. The two types of AM transmitters that are used based on their transmitting powers are: · High Level · Low Level High level transmitters use high level modulation, and low level transmitters use low level modulation. The choice between the two modulation schemes depends on the transmitting power of the AM transmitter. In broadcast transmitters, where the transmitting power may be of the order of kilowatts, high level modulation is employed. In low power transmitters, where only a few watts of transmitting power are required , low...

Using the TLP250 Isolated MOSFET Driver Explanation and Example Circuits

I’ve already shown how to drive an N-channel MOSFET (or even an IGBT) in both high-side and low-side configurations in a multitude of ways. I’ve also explained the principles of driving the MOSFETs in these configurations. The dedicated drivers I’ve shown so far are the TC427 and IR2110. Some people have requested me to write up on MOSFET drive using the very popular TLP250. And I’ll explain that here. The TLP250, like any driver, has an input stage, an output stage and a power supply connection. What’s special about the TLP250 is that the TLP250 is an optically isolated driver, meaning that the input and output are “optically isolated”. The isolation is optical – the input stage is an LED and the receiving output stage is light sensitive (think “photodetector”). Before delving any further, let’s look at the pin configuration and the truth table. Fig. 1 - TLP250 Pin Configuration Fig. 2 - TLP250 Truth Table Fig. 1 clearly shows the input LED side and the receiving photodetector as well...
