วงจร GO-NO-GO ไอซี 555(Tester) อุปกณ์ R1 = 2M2 IC1,IC2,IC3 = 555 Timer/Oscillator R2 = 3K IC4 = SN7400 R3,R5 = 270 ohm IC5 = SN74107 R4 = 500K Led1,Led2 = 5mm, Red/Green, high brightness R6 = 220K S1 = On-Off switch, push button P1,P2 = 500K, Trimpots C1 = 1uF, 10V C2,C3 = 4uF, 10V This is a more advanced unit with a precise timed testing procedure. R1 (2M2) is same as 2.2 MegOhm. The two timers determine the allowable accuracy for the timer IC under test. Potentiometers P1 and P2 permit ready adjustment for the desired range. With power applied, all timers switch to the high state and begin their cycles. The output of IC1 inhibits the flip-flop for the interval T1. At T2, the output of IC2 goes low and inhibits any signal from the timer under test. The period between T1 and T2 is the time alloted for IC3, the timer under test, to complete its cycle and produce a low output. Only during this time can a high-to-low transition from IC3 trigger the Flip-Flop IC5 so that Led 1 (timer ok), which indicates a good IC, lights up. Led 2 lights up when the test is completed. Although there can be a few milliseconds of contact bounce when S1 is first closed, thereby causing a delay in capacitor charging, the delay appears across all of the IC's. But since the ratio of delay times among all three timers is the same, the effect on test accuracy is nil. How you get to the 5 volt supply power is up to you. Supply power should be between 4.5V (min) and 5.5 (max). Probably three 1.5V alkalines will total about 4.8V because they are never exactly 1.5 V but always between 1.56 and 1.59V or so, and will do the job until the voltage drops below 4.5V. A simple stabilized 5V power supply would be better choice, or use a 5 volt regulator with a 9 volt battery, works also. Do not forget to connect power to the 7400 and 74101 IC's (see circuit diagram). Standard procedure is that if they are not drawn, they are assumed. You can get the LS types (low schottky) which draw less current. At this time I'm bench testing the cmos types. Note: While bench testing I found that older timers like the µA555 and the MC1455, although good, were difficult to test. I tried extending the testing period (in seconds) by adjusting trimpot P2 and got an ok from led2 for the MC1455 but no such luck with the µA555. The LM555 and NE555 testing were excellent. I will test a couple more, including the cmos versions, and post my findings here. If I can find the time I will modify the power supply for use with a regular 9 volt battery instead of the bit ackward 5 volt supply... |
