FM remote Encoder Decoder


Description.
Here is the circuit diagram of an FM remote encoder/decoder using the ICs RF600E and RF600D. These devices are designed to provide a high level of security and operates from anything between 2 to 6.6V DC. Various electronic circuits like remote control systems, remote alarm systems, anti theft alarms etc can be implemented using the RF600E/RF600D pair.
The remote systems given here uses FM for the transmission. IC1 RF600E and its associated components form the encoder circuit. Pins 1 to 4 forms the switch inputs of IC1. When each push button switch is pressed a corresponding code will be generated at the pin 6 which is the data output pin. The encoded signal available at pin 6 is buffered using the transistor Q1 and the fed to the input of a general purpose FM transmitter module (M1). Such FM transmitter modules are very common in the market now.
The decoder system comprises of the IC2 RF600D and its associated components. Pins 17, 18, 1 and 2 are the digital data output pins of RF600D corresponding to the input switches S1 to S4 of the encoder/transmitter circuits. The digital data output pins 17,18,1 and 2 are asserted low when the relevant inputs S1 to S4 on the IC2 RF600E are asserted. M2 is a general purpose FM receiver module which receives the transmitted code and feds it to the data input (pin 9) of the IC2. Switch S1 can be used to select between latching and momentary digital output function. In latching mode digital output pins (OP1 to OP4) are only asserted for the corresponding transmit signal. In latching mode the output state is changed on each corresponding transmit signal. The learn switch S5 is used to enter the decoder IC in to the “learn mode”. Learn operation using push button switch S5 is as follows. 1) Press and release the push button switch S5. 2) The status LED D2 will glow when S5 is pressed and will remain ON when S5 is released. 3) Operate the encoder/transmitter once. 4) The status LED D2 will become OFF. 5) Operate the encoder/transmitter again. 6) The status LED will start flashing. 7) When the flashing of status LED stops, the encoder will be successfully taught to the decoder and the transmitter/encoder will now operate the receiver/decoder system. Up to seven encoder/transmitters can be learnt to each RF600D.Pin 3 of IC2 is the transmitter low battery indicator output and pin 11 is the serial data output.

Notes.
  • Assemble the circuit on a good quality PCB.
  • The ICs can be operated from anything between 2V to 6.6V.
  • Switches S1 to S5 are miniature push button switches.
  • S6 can be a miniature two way switch.
  • Transmit LED D1 will glow whenever the encoder is transmitting.
  • The power supply must be properly regulated and ripple free.
  • I recommend using batteries for powering the circuit.
  • Go through the datasheets of RF600E and RF600D before attempting this circuit.

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...

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...
