Bridge Recitifer over Full Wave Rectifieir is that the entire secondary voltage can be used Capacitor Input Filter The capacitor input filter produces a D C output voltage equal to the peak value of the rectified voltage This type of filter is the most widely used in power supplies Other type of filter is choke input filter which is not used due to its high cost and weight Initially the capacitor is uncharged During the first quarter cycle the diode is forward biased Since it ideally acts like a closed switch the capacitor charges and its voltage equals the source voltage at each instant of the first quarter cycle The charging continues until the input reaches its maximum value At this point the capacitor voltage equals the peak value of the rectified voltage After the input voltage reaches the peak it starts to decrease As soon as the input voltage is less then the peak value the diode turns off In this case it acts like the open switch During the remaining cycle the capacitor stays fully charged and the diode remains open This is why output voltage is constant and equal to the peak value 37 Engineering Worksho Lab Session 07 NED University of Engineering amp Technology Department of Computer amp Information Systems Engineering gt f Figure 7 2 Capacitor input filter Transformers A transformer is two coils of wire called the primary coil and the secondary coil wrapped around a piece of iro

Nodes Tasks such as deciding what type of data is being transmitted where is it going which node will the data go to next is all the data here are performed at each station These questions are some of the many that an Internet node asks and answers with every transmission What is Digital Transmission A typical computer transmission is carried out as digital data in short bursts Digital data transmission can be thought of as a series of bullets being fired from a gun All digital data is made up of a series of Os and Is that are grouped in unique sequences Each sequence of Os and Is can mean an infinite number of things to the computers translating them into what the user see on the screen A single sequence of digital data is called a Packet As each packet of data is sent through the various networks it has a distinct digital marker that tells the routing computer which packet it belongs to as can be seen in Figure 12 2 Sending data in packets offers enormous advantages during transfer If an interruption occurs in transmission for example a computer can simply hold all the packets with identical markers until all the packets have arrived and then put them back together again as illustrated in Figure 12 2 Sending data this way also 137 Engineering Workshop Lab Session 25 NED University of Engineering amp Technology Department of Computer amp Information Systems Engineering means that multiple computers can send packets th
23. Pin 3 Output The output of the 555 timer comes from a high current to totem pole Stage made up of transistors The state of the output pin will always reflect the inverse of the logic state of the latch and this may be seen Since the latch itself is not directly accessible this relationship may be explained in terms of latch input trigger conditions To trigger the output to a hi9gh condition the trigger input is taken from a higher to a lower level This causes the latch to be set and the output to go high Activation of the lower comparator is the only manner in which the output can be placed in the high place state This output can be returned to a low state by causing the threshold to go from a lower to a higher level which rests the latch The output can also be made to go low by taking the reset to a low state near ground Pin 4 Reset It is also used to reset the latch and return the output to a low state The reset voltage threshold level is 0 7 volts amp a sink current of 0 1 mA from this pin is required to reset the device These levels are relatively independent of operation V level thus the reset input is TTL compatible for any supply voltage The reset input is an overriding function that is it will force the output to low state regardless of the state of either of the other inputs It may thus be used to terminates an output pulse prematurely to gate oscillations from on and off etc Pin 5 Control Voltage Thi
