1 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 Potential dividers 2 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 3 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 Using sensors in potential dividers A potential divider uses two series resistors to reduce a high input voltage (VIN) to a lower output voltage (VOUT). By replacing either resistor with an input device, the potential divider can be used as an input sensor for a control system. Replacing R2 with a switch will produce a simple pressure sensor, while LDRs and thermistors can be used to produce light and temperature sensors respectively. 4 of 33 VIN R1 VOUT R2 0V 0V © Boardworks Ltd 2009 Light sensors 5 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 6 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 Control systems 7 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 What are logic gates? Logic gates are electronic switches that process information. They are called gates because they open to produce a high output signal only when they receive the correct combination of input signals. This chip contains four NOT gates. Most logic gates have multiple inputs, which are used to determine a single output. A large number of logic gates can be incorporated in one electronic chip. 8 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 Logic gate voltage Digital systems have two states, ON and OFF. These simple electronic states are represented in binary code: ON is called logic 1; OFF is called logic 0. Microchips contain logic gates, which use this binary code to send and store information. Microchips can be easily damaged by high voltages. Due to this the voltages for the two logic states are standardized. Logic 1 is 5 V, while logic 0 is 0 V. Logic gates receive multiple signals in these two states. Different combinations of signals lead to different outputs. 9 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 Types of logic gate 10 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 Logic gates AND • For the output to be high 1 • Both inputs must be high 1 OR • For the output to be high 1 • One input must be high 1 NOT • If the input is high 1 • The output is low 0 11 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 NAND & NOR NAND • The opposite output from an AND gate • Output high if both A & B are not both high NOT • Equivalent to a OR gate • With the output inverted by a NOT gate Output is high if both A & B are NOT high 12 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 Logic gates summary 13 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 14 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 Truth tables for three inputs 15 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 Three input truth tables question 16 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 Truth tables for four inputs 17 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 A burglar alarm A burglar alarm is a great example of a control system. Can you identify the input sensor, the processor and the output? input = movement sensor processor = alarm unit output = siren and lights The alarm keeps sounding until the owner enters the code into the control panel, regardless of the input it receives. How does this happen? 18 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 19 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 Making use of logic output There are many different output devices for an electronic system. These include motors, buzzers and lamps. In a logic system both current and voltage are very small to prevent damaging the gates. This limits the range of output devices which can be run on a logic system. In order to make full use of logic systems, we must find a way to control a high voltage component using a low voltage logic system: a relay allows this. 20 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 Introduction to relays A relay is an electromagnetic switch which allows one circuit to control another circuit by turning it on and off. A relay is used to isolate a high voltage circuit, controlling it with a low voltage counterpart. There are a number or possible reasons for this: To allow the use of a smaller, more practical switch. To isolate the user from a dangerous high voltage. To allow a logic system to control high voltage components. The starter motor in a car uses a current of several hundred amps, and is controlled by a relay, making it safe and easy to operate. 21 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 How does a relay work? A relay uses an electromagnet to operate a switch. As electricity flows in the input circuit, the coil becomes an electromagnet. coil steel switch input output The coil attracts the steel switch in the output circuit, closing the switch. Electricity flows in the output circuit driving the motor. circuit symbol for a relay 22 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 Separating mains and logic voltage Relays allow us to separate the output from an electronic control system, of either 0 V or 5 V, from the mains voltage of 230 V. This allows electronic control systems to turn on mains appliances, which they would otherwise be unable to run. It also protects the user from the dangerously high mains voltage. Some electronic control systems do have their own output device. This serves as an indicator, clearly showing the user the logic state of the circuit. 23 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 LEDs as indicators LEDs are ideal indicators for a logic circuit – why is this? They require only a low current and voltage to emit light. Their two states, on or off, match the binary states of logic 0 and 1. 0-5 V 0V 24 of 33 In real circuits, we must use a protective resistor in series with the LED. This ensures a voltage of around 0.7 V across the LED, preventing the current from becoming damaging. © Boardworks Ltd 2009 Outputs and relays summary 25 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 26 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 Glossary 27 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 Anagrams 28 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009 Multiple-choice quiz 29 of 33 © Boardworks Ltd 2009
