EAGLE MOUNTAIN CASINO TRAINING SYSTEM Training and Reference Material Analog Electronics The field of Analog Devices covers electronic circuits that deal with a varying voltage. Where digital signals are usually limited to two states (high and low, or 1 and 0) analog circuits work on signals that continuilly change in voltage. This includes Power Supply circuits, Motor Controllers, Voltage Regulators, Operational Amplifiers, Voltage Comparators, Voltage References and Audio Amplifiers just to name a few. This will be presented as a series of small courses as described below. Power Supplies - Power suppplies convert one energy source to another. Whether it is converting AC to DC, one voltage DC to another voltage DC, or DC to AC. before takiing this course it is suggested you take the more basic DC, AC, Basic Components lessons and can read and write a schematic with good comprehension. Knowledge up through semiconductors (diodes and transistors) is required. Voltage Regulators - A Course on Voltage Regulators that includes a lab exercise on building and designing voltage and current regulated power supplies for test fixtures. It shows the basics of what is inside linear regulators, covers most of the popular voltage regulators found in the gaming industry, and briefly covers switching regulators. Knowledge up through semiconductors (diodes and transistors) is required. To do the exercises it is assumed you have been through the Power Supplies lessons. Operational Amplifiers - A course on Op Amps. First it builds up an op amp, section by section, showing what it might look like if it were made of transistors and discrete components. Then it goes through basic circuits that op amps are used in. Popular devices used in the Gaming Industry are introduced. Knowledge up through semiconductors (diodes and transistors) is required. Voltage Comparators - This course contrasts the differences between Voltage Comparators and Op Amps, and shows some of the basic circuits in which they are used. Popular devices used in the Gaming Industry are introduced. This class is taught as a difference course from Operational Amplifiers, and it assumes you understand that material. Motor Controllers - Some of the basic Motor Controller circuits are demonstrated. Many of the IC Motor Driver chips are covered. Emphasis is put on the microprocessor output driving a motor. Knowledge up through semiconductors (diodes and transistors) is required. Driver Interfaces - This is a short course in typical communications interface driver circuits, Player Panel Lamp Drivers, and other driver circuits that would be typical interface circuits between a microprocessor's outputs and an external circuit. Knowledge up through semiconductors (diodes and transistors) is required. Receiver Interfaces - This is a short course in typical communications interfaces receiver circuits, Player Panel Switch inputs, and other input circuits that would typically be found between an external circuit and a microprocessor's inputs. Knowledge up through semiconductors (diodes and transistors) is required. Collected or created works by Herschel W. Peeler ([email protected]) Copyright 2004 by Eagle Mountain Casino, Porterville, CA
