ELET 3304 FINAL Fall 2000 Problem #1: Thermistor and ADC A. Thermistor specifications: Resistance versus temperature shown below Dissipation constant of 8 mW/oC Time constant of 1.3 seconds B. ADC specifications: 8 bit Unipolar Includes sample/hold Reference is 5.00 volts. C. Power supply available: approximately + 10 volts. Requirement: A temperature range of -20oF to 140oF must be converted the full output range of the ADC. 1. If the maximum self heating is to be less than or equal to 0.15 oF what is the maximum current through the thermistor? 2. Design a divider using the thermistor so that the output voltage increases with temperature and that the maximum self-heating is satisfied. 3. What is the divider output voltage over the given temperature range? 4. Develop an equation for the necessary signal conditioning to interface the divider to the ADC. 5. Develop an op amp circuit which satisfies the equation of the previous step. Use the fewest op amps you can. Show the complete schematic, including the divider with the thermistor and all component values. 6. What is the self-heating temperature at 10oF and how many bits of error does this represent? 7. What is the self-heating temperature at 140oF and how many bits of error does this represent?

The rod diameter is 3 cm. Force R = 120 with no strain. The gauge characteristics are: GF = 2.14 dia = 3 cm (a) What is the strain in micros of the rod for a force of 1000 lb? A B (b) Show a schematic of how the gauges are mounted in a bridge so that two are active and the other two provide temperature compensation. The bridge voltage is to be 5.1 volts from a zener. Use the labels, A, B, C, D, to show where the gauges are mounted in the bridge. C D (c) Calculate the bridge offnull voltage for a force of 1000 lb. (d) Devise signal conditioning so that a force of 0 to 5000 lb becomes a voltage of 0 to 5 volts. Use a minimum number of op amps. (e) Calculate the output voltage from your circuit for a force of 3000 lb. (e) Plot a graph of voltage versus force. Is it linear? Problem 3: A CdS photocell has a resistance versus light intensity as shown in the following graph. The cell has a time constant of 25 ms. (a) At t = 0 the cell is exposed to a sudden change of light intensity from 20 W/m2 to 80 W/m2. What is the sensor resistance after 20 ms? The cell is now used in the following signal conditioning circuit: Rc 300 5.2 k 600 +12 V 39.7 k 100 100 k 5.1 V + 39.7 k 264 + Vout 100 k 100 (b) Derive an equation between Vout and Rc (c) Suppose at t = 0 the cell is now exposed to a sudden change in light intensity from 10 W/m 2 to some unknown final value. At t = 30 ms the output voltage is found to be -2.12 volts. What is the unknown light intensity? ELET 3304 FINAL Fall 2000 CdS Resistance Versus Light Intensity: Resistance (k) 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 Problem 4: An spring-mass accelerometer is constructed to use a capacitor to measure mass displacement. As shown in the following diagram, the mass forms one plate of a capacitor and a stationary cylinder the other plate. As acceleration occurs the mass moves in or out of the cylinder and thereby changes the capacity. 0.5 cm 1 cm here are the specifications: spring constant, k = 20 N/m, mass m = 50 g , mass diameter , d = 0.5 cm. (a) What is the capacity with no acceleration (the mass is halfway within the 1 cm span shown)? (b) What is the maximum and minimum acceleration which can be measured (mass is 0.5 cm from the shown position)? (c) What is the capacity at the maximum and minimum acceleration? k m Spring C Space between cylinders = 0.5 mm Filled with mylar with =15 0 (d) What is the natural frequency of the system? (e) Devise a circuit using a 555 timer which converts the capacity change into a frequency. Use RA = 100 k and design so that the frequency at maximum acceleration to the left is 20 kHz. (f) What is the frequency when the acceleration is maximum to the right?
