LAB 3 REVIEW
EFFECT OF ADDING A RESISTOR IN
PARALLEL WITH ORIGINAL
BRIGHTNESS OF LED
VOLTAGE ACROSS LED
EFFECT OF ADDING A CAPACITOR
CIRCUIT ‘RC’ TIME RESPONSE
LAB 3 REVIEW
ADDING A RESISTOR IN PARALLEL
EFFECTIVE RESISTANCE is HALVED
CURRENT is NOMINALLY DOUBLED (If V
is constant), REF. OHM’S LAW V=IR
CURRENT THROUGH THE LED is
NOMINALLY DOUBLED…ITS LIGHT
INTENSITY INCREASES.
LIGHT INTENSITY FROM THE LED is
PROPORTIONAL to CURRENT
Case 1: One resistor only
Voltage at AA: 5.22 V
Case 2: Two resistors
Voltage at AA: 5.22 V
* SAME VALUE BECAUSE it is the SUPPLY VOLTAGE
Case 1: One resistor only
Voltage at BB: 1.98 V
Voltage at BB: 2.01 V
Case 2: Two resistors
What did we do by connecting another resistor in parallel?
•Resistance halved
•Current doubled ( V= IR)
But only a …
*VERY SLIGHT VARIATION of VOLTAGE across the LED (0.03 V)
So the DIODE can be a REGULATOR of VOLTAGE
LAB 3 REVIEW
 WHEN A CAPACITOR IS ADDED TO THE
CIRCUIT AND THE SWITCH LEVER IS
PRESSED, THE CAPACITOR VERY QUICKLY
ACQUIRES AND HOLDS AN ELECTRICAL
CHARGE
 WHEN THE SWITCH LEVER IS RELEASED,
THE CAPACITOR HAS TO DISCHARGE
(RELEASE ITS CHARGE) THROUGH THE
RESISTANCE AND THE LED
LAB 3 REVIEW
 SINCE RESISTORS ‘RESIST’ THE FLOW OF
CURRENT, THE LARGER THE RESISTANCE
VALUE, THE LONGER TIME IT TAKES FOR
THE LED TO TURN OFF
 THE CIRCUIT TIME RESPONSE IS ACTUALLY
PROPORTIONAL TO THE PRODUCT OF
RESISTANCE AND CAPACITANCE (RC) AND
THAT PRODUCT IS THE ‘RC TIME
CONSTANT’ FOR THE CIRCUIT
LAB 3 REVIEW
ANY GENERAL DIODE HAS AN
ASSOCIATED FORWARD VOLTAGE
ABOVE WHICH IT CONDUCTS
CURRENT AND BELOW WHICH IT
CONDUCTS VERY LITTLE CURRENT
FOR THE LED WE USED, THE
THRESHOLD OF THE FORWARD
VOLTAGE WAS ABOUT 1.7 VOLTS
LAB 3 REVIEW
 THE TIME FOR THE LED TO TURN OFF
(VOLTAGE DECREASE TO 1.7 VOLTS)
WOULD NOMINALLY BE TWICE AS LONG IF
THE RESISTANCE INVOLVED IS DOUBLED
 TIMES WITH ONE RESISTOR SHOULD BE
NOMINALLY DOUBLE THE TIMES WHEN
TWO RESISTORS ARE IN PARALLEL
TYPES OF
ELECTRONIC DATA SYSTEMS
 DIGITAL
 OPERATION EXHIBITS A FINITE NUMBER OF
DISCRETE CONDITIONS OR SAMPLES (e.g.,
ON/OFF) AND IS RELATIVELY INSENSITIVE
TO NOISE
 ANALOG
 OPERATION EXHIBITS AN INFINITE NUMBER
OF DIFFERENT CONDITIONS AND IS
RELATIVELY SENSITIVE TO NOISE
 HYBRID
 MIXED DIGITAL/ANALOG

TRANSDUCERS
 TRANSDUCERS (SENSORS) are used to
TRANSLATE a MEASURABLE
PROPERTY into a USEABLE (usually
electrical) FORM
 A few MEASURABLE PROPERTIES are:
• PRESSURE
• TEMPERATURE
• STRAIN
• FORCE
• MOMENT
• ACCELERATION
• FREQUENCY
• SIZE

SIGNAL CONDITIONING
 PROVIDES VERY STABLE POWER
SOURCE
 AMPLIFIES THE SIGNAL (makes it
‘stronger’ and more useable)
 FILTERS THE SIGNAL (‘cleans it up’)
 EXHIBITS LOW OUTPUT IMPEDANCE
(good for noise insensitivity)
DATA PROCESSING and CONTROL
 ROUTING or MANIPULATION of DATA SIGNAL
OCCURRING AFTER SIGNAL CONDITIONING
 COMMONLY INCLUDES CONVERSION to a
DIGITAL SYSTEM (for processing by computer)
 CONTROL SECTION (actuator control)
 DISPLAY and/or RECORDING of the DATA are
GENERALLY the FINAL PROCESSES
ACTUATORS
AN ACTUATOR is a DEVICE which
PERFORMS an ACTION to INFLUENCE a
PROCESS
