OP SEQUENTIALLY PLASHING LED ARRAY

TO STUDY ANGULAR CAMERA MOTION IN

HAND HELD CAMERA SYSTEMS

ABSTRACT

This project deals with the construction of a device

to determine the actual angular motion in a hand held camera

system caused only by the holder. An array of LEDs (8x8)

is flashed so that one LED flashes at a time in sequence.

This sequence is photographed by a system suffering from

motion effects and this is compared with the image of the

array when no motion effects are present. The displacements

of each"blip"

with respect to time is used to determine

the motion of the camera system.

INTRODUCTION

Cameras have become a very common item in the world

today. Millions of pictures are taken each day by everyone

from a child with a box camera to a professional photographer

with much more sophisticated equipment. Most of these pic

tures, no matter what the subject is, are taken by a person

who is holding the camera in his hands in anyone of many

possible positions. This makes for a very unsteady system.

Although some people are able to hold a camera steadier than

others, all people"shake"

a little while the picture is be

ing taken.

Many factors contribute to the shake of a camera system.

Many vibrations occur when the camera shutter is triggered.

The action of a person pressing the shutter release button

causes the camera to shift somewhat depending on the position

of the button, the force needed, and the skill of the oper

ator. Once the shutter is triggered this starts all kinds

of mechanical motions internally to move the shutter, no

matter whether it is a leaf of focal plane shutter. Mirrors

bouncing arround in an SLR camera is another source of vib

ration. These mechanically initiated vibrations can be min

imized with careful engineering using techniques such as

using light mass parts for those that must move, not using

excessive force to move each part, and using dampening at

the end of each parts travel. Another major factor in the

shake of camera systems is that of the operator himself.

Many test? have been performed on images from hand held

Page 5: Design, Construction, and Testing of Sequentially Flashing

///

camera systems to determine quantative values that indicate

the degree of degredation of the image because of vibrations.

Vibrations cause edges to lose sharpness and fine detail to

be lost. Resolution and MTF analysis has been performed on

images, taken under many conditions, to put numbers to what

is good, acceptable, and poor in the way of degredation.

The trouble with this information is it only shows the

time averaged effect of camera motion along with other factors

which degrade the image. In the time the picture was taken

it could have moved up and down, sideways, and any number

of other directions any number of times.

A test proposed in Modern Photography's May 1971 issue

("How Shaky Is Your Camera", p. 90-93) made an attempt to

demonstrate camera motion but again it only showed the time

averaged effect. The idea was to fasten a snail mirror to

the front of a camera and bounce a narrow beam of light

off it and photograph the image of the reflection as the

camera shutter was triggered. The size of the beam pattern

reflected showed how much shake occurred and sometimes in

dicated in which axis most of it occurred.

If more information was known as to the exact nature

of the vibrations, steps could be taken to minimize them.

The best way to study a multitude of vibrations like these

is to seperate the individual effects.

For all intents and purposes the motion of a camera

will be considered to be of a rotational or angular nature.

This is opposed to that of the camera moving back and forth

on the Z axis (see Figure A) or in either the planes of the

X or Y axis. These motions do

not create much effect on images

under normal circumstances. Motion

in the Z plane changes the image

magnification. For an object at

5 meters, moving the camera in the

Z plane 1mm causes the image mag

nification to change by about

2/l00ths of 1%. This means a 50

micron dot will reduce to a size of 49.99 microns if the

camera is shifted backward. This smearing is not worth

speaking of in normal situations. Motion of the camera in

either the X or Y planes causes the object to shift by a

corresponding amount while taking a picture. A 2mm shift

in the camera results in a 2mm shift of the object. If

the object is photographed at 5 meters with a 50mm lens

the image shift is about 20 microns according to the

following calculations.

Image shift = Magnification x Object shift

where: Magnification = s'/s

s'

= image distance = l/(l/f-l/s)

s = object distance

s'= l/( l/.05m-l/5m) =

.0505

Magnification =.0505/5

=.0101

Image shift =.0101 x 2mm = 20 microns

This is no larger than the resolution limit of moat

films so again this effect can Le ceasicercdi i

However, an angular shift of about .5 degrees results in

Page 7: Design, Construction, and Testing of Sequentially Flashing

an image shift or smear of about 400 microns by triangulation

(see Figure B).

The purpose of this research project is to build a

device that can show the precise angular vibrations in a

hand held camera system, caused solely by the operator.

These vibrations, whether it be periodic and of one fre

quency, purely random, or some combination of these, can be

best determined by breaking time dov/n into little pieces

and studying the motion during each small piece.

It may be found that all people vibrate the camera in

a similar way so that steps could be taken to minimize this,

DESIGN OF SEQUENTIALLY FLASHING LIGHT ARRAY

To'find motion information for short pieces of time a

sequentially flashing light array is used. This array of

lights flashes one at a time in a sequence. The lights are

on for very short durations, just long enough to produce an

image on film, but short enough so as to create a sharp dot

even when photographed by a badly vibrating system. A

delay between lights allows some camera motion to occur in

that time and the second light"blip" is in a position that

is shifted from where it would be if no motion had occurred.

Ey recording the shift of successive"blips"

a study of

angular camera motion vs. time can be made.

The method of measuring motion caused displacements of

blips was to flash the light array twice while a hand held

camera system recorded the images on a piece of film, the

camera being with the shutter held fully open in a dim or

dark room. The first flashing sequence would instantaneously

image all the lights of an array onto the film to create a

matrix of dots on the film corresponding to the location of

the light in the array. The image on the film is a"perfect"

matrix which doesn't show any effects of motion since there

was no time lapse between the lights in the array flashing

through their positions. (example: 1,1; 1,2; 1,3; 2,1; 2,2;...)

The second time the lights are sequenced slowly through the

array so that there is a pause between light 1,1 and 1,2;

1,2 and 1,3; and so on. The images of the second sequer.ee

of flashes is thrown right on top of that of the firststeady-

array images. This slower sequence suffers from camera motion

displacement of corresponding

light blips from the first

steady array and the second

motion effected array (see

Figure 1 ) .

The light sources also

needed to be rather small so

that v/hen they are photo

graphed they image as very

small dots on the film ( about

20-50 microns) so that small

shifts in motion can be detected between the imaged dots of

a light v/hen flashed in the instantaneous and slow sequence

modes. By using small dots small displacements of the images

can be measured allowing a finer measurement of camera motion.

Many ideas were investigated to produce this sequence

of quickly flashing lights. Mechanical shuttering was ruled

out because a large number of data points (lights) was desired.

This also required an extremely bright, continuous light

source behind the shutters to record an image on the film

during such a short duration of each blip. (It is thought

that a blip should last no longer than 100 microseconds to

image sharply under adverse motion conditions.) The next

idea considered was flashing individual miniature light ruibs

but because of the nature of the filiment they tend to have

slow rise and fall times making it difficult to pulse

quickly.

Page 10: Design, Construction, and Testing of Sequentially Flashing

SELECTION OF LEDS

The light source selected for the array was a light

emitting diode (LED). The characteristics of an LED are that

it can be pulsed for very short times since it has quick rise

and fall times and the light source is small so as to yield

a small image on the film without requiring a large distance

between the camera and light array for a normal camera sys-

tem(SLR or box camera).

A typical diffuse LED (light scattered evenly from the

LED) has a physical si^e of about 5mm diameter which is the

same as the diameter that the light emerges from. This

would image in a 35mm camera system with 50mm lens located

at a distance of 5 meters from the target array at a size

of about 50 microns on the film as calculated from the

following formulas;

1/f = 1/s +1/s'

where: f = focal length

l/.05m = l/5m +1/s'

s = object dist.

s'=.0505m

s'= image dist.

Magnification = s'/s = i/o i = image height

M =.0505/5m

= i/.005m - o = object height

i = 50 microns

A question that needed to be answered before selecting

an LED was, would it put out enough light in such a short

pulse time so as to expose the film to a sufficient density?

An experiment to determine this answer was done by photo

graphing a variety of LEDs that were being lit Ly a voltage

source with a current that was at the upper limit of what

that LTD could reliably handle without damage when on for

Page 11: Design, Construction, and Testing of Sequentially Flashing

long continuous periods.

It was found that one particular LED could, at normal

currents, deliver enough light to expose Kodak Tri-X film

when photographed at f/16 for 1/1000 second. This is roughly

equivalent to a 1/16,000 second exposure at f/4, a good

simulation of the quantity of light from a pulse. This

result can be proven by calculations. This LED (Monsanto1s

MV5352, data sheet in Appendix) is listed as having an

intensity of 45 millicandelas at 20mA. From this v/e can

calculate its luminance.

L = Intensity/Area of source where; L is the

luminance

Where the area is the area of the actual chip as seen

through the lens of the LED.

Tri - X film has a sensitivity of about 10 at 535nm

(read from curve of spectral sensitivity, Kodak data book

"Plates and Films for Science and Industry", p21d). This

means that an exposure level of . 1 lux seconds is enough to

expose the film to yield a density near .6. This LED had

the light output needed.

The only trouble with the KV5352 LED was that it did

not actually project the image of its chip nicely. It had

much background light which v/ould have caused problems when

the image was inspected since it would have been non-distinct

and hard to locate precisely. Also, it had a narrow beam

of light that was sufficient to expose the film. The LEDs

at the edges of the board would have been observed far

enough off axis so that the light fall off would have seen

a problem.

The next step was to test another, less powerful, I. I.D

of Konsanto's that was diffuse. m'753 54 (data sheet ir

Appendi ::) was not considered a point source LED like the

previous one. It does not have a leas that projects aa

Page 13: Design, Construction, and Testing of Sequentially Flashing

image of the chip. Instead it has a diffusing lens that puts

light out in a scattered manner. Its cone is such that the

intensity falls to half when it is observed 10 degrees off

axis. This is a suitable cone of light for the LED array

to be used. This LED was rated at 10 med but like all LEDs

it was capable of putting out much more if it was duty cycled.

This means the LED is only on for a small time and then off

for much longer times. This can be done at much higher

current flows than the LED could handle if it were on constantly.

This LEL v/as experimentally pulsed and photographed

while operating at 150mA and was found to create a suitable

density on the film. The image of this LED was somewhat

larger than the other but had a much more even illuminance

off-axis. This LED could be masked to a smaller size if

needed.

An array of lights dimensioned in 8 columns and 8

rows was decided on as the number of lights to use(64)-

This number yielded a significant number of data points and

was easiest to control because of binary coding used in

electronic devices selected to control these LEDs ( This

will be explained later ).

Now that a light had been found, the next step was

to find a way to power it. in the manner desired.

The NPN transistor used (2N3052) is similar to the PNP.

It is off v/hen the base voltage is within .7 volts of the

emitter, the base must be pulled to a voltage of at least

.7 volts higher then the emitter. Current flow is again

regulated by the current in the base.

As mentioned before the transistors in Appendix I

control the LEDs in matrix fashion. The 1st column tran

sistor connects all the anodes (+ side) of the 1st column

LEDs to the voltage supply by v/ay of a current limiting

Zo light the second LED in the first row, the 2nd co.

transistor is turned on. This is continued column by column

down through the rows until the end of the rows is reached.

One more "groundingtransistor" is thrown into the

current paths of all the LEDs, just in front of ground, and

is used td interrupt the ground connection so that a more

precise control of the LED's"on"

time can be made. This

transistor can be controlled so that a ground connection

is only made for a short duration of time, therefore the

LED in sequence is only pulsed for a short duration of time.

An LED will not light if only its column and row transistors

are on and the grounding transistor is off.

Using this method of firing the LEDs required only a

total of 8 column, 8 row, and 1 grounding transistors to

control each one of the 64 LEDs.

The 1K ohm resistor connecting the base of the column

transistors to the voltage supply (+5volts) is what keeps

the base within .7 volts of the emitter or in the transis

tor:'s off mode. To turn it on the base is pulled to ground

through a 820 ohm resistor. This grounding causes 5 volts

to drop across the 1K and 820 ohm resistors in series. This

means only about 2.4 volts drops across the 820 ohm resistor

and 2.6 volts drops across the 1K resistor. Since the base

of the transistor is connected between these it too is at a

voltage of 2.4 volts or about 2.6 volts below the emitter

which is being maintained at a voltage near that of the

supply, thus turning it on.

The bases of the NNN transistors are left at a near

to ground level which is the level of their emitters thus

Page 16: Design, Construction, and Testing of Sequentially Flashing

their

bases will turn them on. The resistors on the NPNs are used

to limit the current in the base.

This circuit is designed to run a current of .about 150

mA through the LED when it is on. The 5 volts drops across

the 6 ohm, current limiting, resistor, the 3 transistors,

and the LED until it reaches ground level. The current

limiting resistor drops about .9 volts across is when the

current is 150mA.

V = I R where: V = voltage drop

V =.150amps x 6ohmsa I = current flow

V =.9 volts R = resistance

About .3 volts drops across each transistor when it

is on. This leaves about 3.2 volts to drop across the LED

which is about what it is designed to drop when it is oper

ated at 150mA.

These transistors and their respective resistors are

all mounted on the LED Driver Board shown in Appendix II.

Instead of using a 6ohm current limiting resistor it was

necessary to use two 12ohm resistors in parallel. These 2

resistors add in such a way as to give a total resistance

of 6ohms.

purpose of C1 and C2 is to fill this hole. A capacitor

can store a charge in such a way that large amounts can

be called upon quickly but only for a short time. This is

just long enough to cover for the power supply^. They also

keep these gliches from getting in to other parts of the

control circuit and causing unwanted signals to confuse the

counters, timers, and switches.

A list of values for the components in the LED Driver

CONTROL CIRCUIT

The next task was to design a control circuit that would

switch the LEDs on for the proper length of time and in the

desired sequence. In order to image as a sharp dot on the

film each.LED is to be flashed for about 1/10,000 of a sec.

The array is to be scanned in a sequence that goes from

left to right, moving to the next row down after all the

LEDs in the previous row have been flashed. Finally, this

array must be scanned through exactly twice, an instantaneous

scan to establish a reference dot matrix and a slow scan to

show angular camera motion.

A simplified Block Diagram of the Control Circuit shown

in Appendix IV can be used to explain its operation. The

blocks themselves are simplified representations of more

complex circuits which will be explained In detail later.

In the Block Diagram of the Control Circuit the blocks

functions are simple. The Switch, Trigger Pulse, Flip Flop,

and individual Nand gate only serve to start the 2 scanning

sequences of the LEL array. This individual Nand gate serves

to pass square wave pulses to a series of counters. When

"on" it passes a reversed square wave at T compared to the

square wave input at P. When the Nand is"off"

no pulses

pass.

The pulses that the Nand gate passes come from 2 clocks

used only one at a time that control the frequency of the

counters thereby the rate at which the LEDs are scanned.

The high frequency clock is used to scan through the array

very fast to simulate an"instantaneous"

scon. The low

frequency clock is used to scan tho array .'it spif

will detect camera motion.

The cluster of 3 Nands outlined serves as a device

which allows the pulses of only one clock to pass at any

one time. It can then be controlled to switch over to pass

the pulses of the other clock. Using the output F of the

row Einary Counter and the Inverter between AA and AA.

The clustered Nands are controlled to pass 64 pulses from

the high frequency clock first to scan the array at high

speed and then to switch over and pass 64 pulses of the low

frequency clock to scan the array at low speed.

The clock pulses passed by the individual Nand gate

are turned into signals that turn on the LEDs in the correct

order. A Binary Counter converts the pulses into a binary

representation of 0-7 or 8 counts which is then input into

a Binary to Decimal Converter. This converter has 8 outputs

which are turned on one at a time in a sequence through

all 8 which corresponds to the binary code input from the

Binary Counter. Once this system has counted through 8

counts it starts over again if the clock pulses continue

ot arrive. This ouput A is used to switch on the column

transistors in sequence.

Once the column Binary Counter goes through its count

of 8 a signal from its Most Significant Eit (MSB) output

increments a similar system of counters which control the

row transistors.

A row Biliary Counter and a ""inary to Decimal Converter

(along with an Inverter to be explained later) turns onone-

row transistor at a time un. til it has hod a chance to p-'Ss

Page 20: Design, Construction, and Testing of Sequentially Flashing

/3

through all 8 rows once. Once all the rows have been trig

gered the signal is sent to switch the clocks and the array

is scanned for the second time.

After the second scan is complete a Reset Pulse is

generated &nd sent back to the reset (R) input of the Flip

Flop which in turn shuts off the clock pulses at the Nand

gate.

While the row and column transistors control which

LED is to be lit at any one time a final groundingtran-

sis tor controls the much smaller time that the LED is

actually on. A Delay and Pulse V/idth Timer is used to con

trol the grounding transistor's on : time (output C) which

is delayed a small amount into the clock cycle. This

delay allows all the other devices in the circuit and

the transistors to achieve a stable level before actually

flashing the LED. The input of this timer (T) is the

clock pulse emerging from the Individual Nand gate.

Before analyzing the circuit, it is necessary to under

stand a little about digital terminology. We are only

concerned with"high"

and"low"

signals which are either

close to the voltage of the supply or to ground respectively.

A pulse is usually taken to mean a voltage that sharply rises

and falls from a"low" level to a

"high"level and back. A

negative pulse is the reverse of this.

As mentioned before, the blocks in the Ploek Diagram

represent more detailed circuits usually made of integrated

circuits (ICs) and discrete components (resistors, capacitors,

etc.). A long explanation of e:;ch TC*:: mahe up will not be

Page 21: Design, Construction, and Testing of Sequentially Flashing

given here since it would be quite long and it can be con-

viently found in any digital or linear (for 555 only) data

book (copies shown in Appendix).

Going back to the beginning, the activation of the

whole circuit starts with the switch. This switch can be

either the camera X sync, or a manually triggered switch.

This switch is closed to start the double sequence of the

array. It causes point A to be pulled to the voltage of

the supply instead of its normal ground level maintained

by a 1K ohm resistor connected to ground.

A Trigger Pulse divice is used only to clean up the

messy switching action of any mechanical switch. No mech

anical switch can be guaranteed to switch on cleanly without

bouncing up and down a few times causing multiple signals.

The output of this device is a single negative pulse to the

Flip Flop.

The Trigger Pulse is a

monostable multivibrator usually

The timing of either clock is calculated by the follow

Time of high level output =.685(RQ+R-,+R)C

Time of low level output =

.685(C)Rb

Frequency = 1 .46/( (Ra+Rc+2Rb)C )

The values selected for the low frequency clock v/ere

as follows:

C =. 1 microfarads

R,= 18Kb

R = 560K variable resistor

a

R = 12Nc

This results in a frequency that can be varied from

about 20-250 cycles/ second.

The values selected for the components of the high

frequency clock were as follows:

C =. 1 microfarads

Rb= 390 ohms

R* = 10K ohms variable resistora

R = 680 ohmsc

This results in a frequency range of about 1250-9000

cycles/second.

The cluster of 3 Nand gates pass first the pulses of

the high frequency clock and then switches over to the low

frequency clock. One input of each of the left 2 Nand gates

is connected to opposite sides of an inverter. The other

side of each Nand gate is connected to one of the two clocks.

Since only one of the connections (AA and AA) to the Nands

can be high at anyone time, only one clock pulse gets past

and is inverted. The other

Nand sends out a high thereby

binary representation is output onto 4 output pins, of

which, we only need 3> since these pins (B;pin 9, C;pin 8,

D;pin 11) can give us the binary representation of 0-7

or 8 seperate counts. The output can be seen in Figure 9A.

The output of D Is called the most significant bit (MSE)

since it is low for 0-3 and high for 4-7 counts. A con

nection from the MSB can be used to increment the row

counter one count if it comes from the column counter

( The MSB will trigger the row counter on the negative edge

or when the count goes from 7 back to 0.) An output is

taken from the MSE of the row counter and is used to switch

the clocks by connecting pin 11 to pin 14 and connecting

pin 1 2 to the reset pulse timer and to the AA side of the

Inverter.

three inputs connect directly

to the 7493 mentioned above.

Pins 1 through 7 and 9 are the

outputs for a 0-7 count. Their

output is normally high except

for the pin that is presently

being pulled low. In other

words, one pin at a time is

drawn low in sequence. The

outputs of the 74 42 for columns were hooked through

resistors to the base of each PNP transistor v/hich is

normally off when the signal is high and on v/hen pulled

low (at least .7 volts below the high level). The 7442 row

outputs are run into the inputs of 2 Hex Inverters (2 are

used since 1 only has 6 inverters and 8 are needed) which

simply turns a high signal into low and a low into a high.

The outputs of the Hex Inverters are run through resistors

to the base of the NPN transistors controlling the rows.

These transistors are normally off at low level and on at

high level.

The LED on time is controlled by the Delay and Pulse

V/idth Timer as mentioned before. Figure 11 shows the cir

cuit with a Petriggerable Nonostable Multivibrator with

clear (74123 ) v/hich can give a very short poise which e tarts

A 250 microfarad electrolytic and a .01 microfarad

mylar capacitor were connected from the voltage supply to

ground to control gliches similar to that used in the

Driver Circuit Board. Four .01 microfarad capacitors were

also put in the circuit adjacent to individual ICs across

their 5 volt and ground connections for further control

of stray signals.

A detailed diagram of the v/hole Control Circuit Board

is shown in Appendix V.

MOUNTING FOR LEDS

The LEDs are mounted on a wooden mount such as that

shov/n in Appendix I&. The LEDs are spaced 8cm apart so as

to allow enough distance between images of dots so that the

motion effected dot at any one location won't be confused

with that dot of an adjacent location. This rig is self-

standing and can be used on any table. The base has cross

members spaced so as to allow mounting space for the circuits,

The LEDs are supplied with a clear plastic mount which

is designed to hold the LED in a i inch hole 1/8 inches

deep. The mount shown in

Figure 13 is typical of that

used. It has a retaining ring

that clamps both tine LED into

the mount and the mount into

the board. It was necessary

to color the front end of the

mounts black with a permanent

stray light to the image.

POWER SUPPLY SELECTION

At this time a specific power supply has not been

selected to power the LEDs and the control circuits. A

power supply was borrowed for testing purposes. All that

is needed. is a supply that is of good quality (lab grade).

The type needed is one that delivers 5 volts at at least

1 ampere and is regulated. These cost anywhere from 50

to 100 dollars. If modifications are made in the LEDs used

and higher currents are used it might be wise to use two

seperate supplies, one for the LEDs and one for the Control

Circuit, to keep stray signals from feeding back from the

LEDs to the Control Circuit.

Page 30: Design, Construction, and Testing of Sequentially Flashing

SAMPLE TESTING OF THE ARRAY

The array was tested by photographing it with a

popular SLR camera. Pictures were taken by standing in

front of the array at a distance of 5 meters. The camera

was hand held. The exposure was made with the room lights

at a very low level. The camera shutter was operated on

the bulb setting, being held open by the holder while

another person manually triggered the array. Once the scan

ning was complete the shutter was closed.

In the particular test performed the fast clock was

cycled at a rate of 8000 cycles/second which means that

the whole array was scanned in a time of 1/125 of a second.

This is a fast enough time in a normally exposed picture

to yield a sharp image, an image relatively free of camera

motion. The slow clock was cycled at a rate of 50 cycles/

second which v/ould scan the whole array in about 1.28 sec.

The film used was 35mm Tri-X since it has a high

sensitivity in the red end of the spectrum good for use with

the yellow LEDs used.

The film was processed in a reel developing tank in

D-72, 1:1, at 68 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 minutes. The

film v/as then fixed, washed, and dryed in a normal fashion.

The images were placed in an enlarger and enlarged orDo

a fine grid. Horizontal and Vertical (>:,'.') displacements

of each LED flash with respect to its steady matrix flash

were made and recorded. Appendix VIII is a lis4ing ef tho

coordinates. Tae grid magnification was such that. 85 div

isions on the grid equalled5' cm displacement on the origa.ai

Page 31: Design, Construction, and Testing of Sequentially Flashing

sy

array- One division is therefore equal to a displacement

of ,66cm on the original array. The magnitude of the

displacement was calculated from the Pythagorean theorem.

y2 2x + Y

The magnitude was also listed in Appendix VIII. It

was also plotted against time (or LED number) in Appendix

VII.

The results show a complicated function which to be of

use should be broken down into individual component frequen

cies, but this requires more samples and some computer

analysis. It is only the intention of this project to

demonstrate that the device does work.

For a rough calculation, the graph shows that the

image has strayed about an average of .4 units per 1/50th

of a second. This is equivalent to an angular motion of

about .03degrees per l/50th of a second as calculated by

the following formulas.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE USE

1) This device should be used to test different people

and camera systems of different. weights or focal lengths,

This collection of data should be reduced by computer

by methods of auto-correlation or such to find what

the components of vibration are. Do people usually

vibrate at specific frequencies?

2) The LEDs should be masked down to a smaller size to

yield finer images on the film for more accurate

measurements.'

3) The fast clock speed should be increased to insure no

motion occurs during the first scan.

4) Some experiments should be done by triggering the array

with the camera to study mirror and/or shutter effects.

5) The switching of the first LED should be adjusted to

keep it from mistaking no signal for a 0,0 signal which

causes it to glow when the array is not being sequenced.

note: presently, a dead LED is in this position.

555 andpresent various applications including

automotive, photographic and test equipment, among other,

FOR SEVERAL YEARS, IT APPEARED THAT THE

709 op-amp would remain unsurpassed

as the most useful and versatile integrated

circuit; especially for electronics hobbyists. Now, it looks like that honor may

have passed to the 555 family of timers.

Basically, the 555 timer is a highlystable integrated circuit capable of func

tioning as an accurate time-delay gen

erator and as a free-running multivibra

tor. When used as an oscillator, the fre

quency and duty cycle are accurately

controlled by two external resistors and

a capacitor. This device originated with

Signetics and is now available from such

manufacturers as Exar, Motorola, Na

tional, RCA, Raytheon, Telcdyne and

Texas Instruments. The typical data sheet

for this device lists the following features:

Timing from microseconds to

hours

o Monostable and astable opera

tion

Adjustable duty cycle

Output compatible with CMOS,

DTL and TTL (when used

with a 5-volt supply)

We will examine the make-up and op

eration of the 555 family and then we

will see how the various features and

applications can be developed into prac

tical circuits you can use in the home,

car, lab and service bench.

The 555 is available in 8- and 14-pin

DIP packages and in a circular TO-99

metal can with eight leads. The base con

nections are shown in Fig. 1. The device'

is available from most makers in at least

two grades. The precision type gener

ally maintains its essential characteristics

over a range of C to C

while the general-purpose type operates

reliably only over a range of0"

C to

70

C. Type numbers for the precision

and general-purpose types are as follows

(the piecision types are listed first):

SK555 /NF.555 (Intersil and Signetics),

KM555/R055 (Raytheon), MC1555/

MC 14555 (Motorola). 1 M555/I.M555C

(National). SN52555 SN72555 Clevis

Instruments) and C A555/CA555C

(RCA).

(Many of the manufacturers listed also

offer the 556 which is basically two 555's

in a single package. Most dual timers f.''556'"

in the type number. An except

is the D555 for dual 555 made

available. Both dual and quad types r;

have specific limitations that do not apto the 555. More about this later.

FIG. 5-DELAY TIMES for different values of

Note that the 555, unlike most RC tim

ers, provides a timed interval that is

virtually indepedent of supply voltage

Vcc. This is because the charge rate of

Ct and the reference voltage to the thresh

old comparator are both directly piopor-

tional to the supply voltage. Operatingvoltage can range from 4.5 volts to a

maximum of 18 volts for premium timers

and 16 volts for general-purpose types.

Feeding the load

We have seen how the timed interval

or delay is obtained. Nowlets'

see how

we can use it. A look at the output cir

cuit (Q3 and Q4 in Fig. 3) shows it to

be a quasi-complemenlary transformerless

arrangement similar to many audio out

put stages. Furthermore, we know that in

this type of circuit, one side of the load

goes to the emitter-collector junction of

the output transistors and the other side

of the load can be connected to either VC1-

or to ground. The same applies to the

load connected to the 555. Output pulses

developed across load R,. can be obtained

directly from pin 3.

When the load is connected to Vro,a considerable amount of cm rent flows

through the load into terminal 3 when

the oulput is low. Similiarly, when the out

put is high, the current through the load

is quite small. Conditions ale reversed

when the load is lettirned to giound. ln

this case, output current through the load

is maximum when the output potential is

high and minimum when the output is

low. The maximum cur i cut al leiniin.il

3 is 200 mA when it is used as a cut rent

source or a current sink.

simple manual timer with the two op

tional connections for the relay. With

the R/C values shown, the timing range

is approximately 1 second to 1 minute.

You must be careful when connecting

an inductive load such as a relay to the

output of the 555 or any other solid-state

device. When the current through an in

ductive load is interrupted, the collapsingmagnetc field generates a high reverse

emf (transient voltage) that can damage

the device. The solution to this problem

is to connect a diode (Dl) across the

relay coil so it conducts and absorbs the

transient. Note that the diode must be

connected so it is reverse biased in normal

operation.

Diode D2 must be inserted in series

with the relay coil when it is connected

between the output terminal and ground.

Otherwise, a negative voltage equal to one

diode-junction drop will appear at p'm 3

and cause the timer to latch up.

TriggeringWe stated earlier that in most practi

cal circuits, the trigger terminal is gener

ally returned to VCc through a resistor

of about 22K. However, the simplest

method of triggering a 555 is to momen

tarily ground the terminal. This is OK

as long as the ground is removed before

the end of the timed interval. Thus, if the

device is used in a photo-timer applica

tion, as in Fig. 6, tapping pushbutton

In many applications, the 555 must

be triggered by a pulse. The amplitude

and minimum pulse width required for

triggering are dependent on temperature

and supply voltage. Generally, the cur

rent required for triggering is about 0.5

pA for a period of 0.1 us. Triggering-

voltage ranges from 1.67 volts when Vcc

is 5 volts to 5 volts when V.c is 15 volts.

ResettingOnce a timed cycle has been initiated

by a negative-going pulse on pin 2. the

circuit is immune to further triggering

until the cycle has been completed. How

ever, the timed cycle can be interrupted

by grounding the reset terminal (pin 4)

or applying a negative-going reset pulse

to it. The reset pulse causes timing ca

pacitor Cl to be discharged and Ihe out

put to return to its quiescent low state.

Reset voltage is typically 0.7 volt and

reset current is 0.1 mA. When the reset

terminal is not being used, it should be

connected to V,. .

DESCRIPTION

This monolithic TTL monostable multivibrator features d-c trigger

ing from positive or gated negative-going inputs with inhibit facility.

Both positive and negative-rjoing output pulses are provided with

full fan-out to 10 normalized loads.

Pulse triggering occurs at a particular voltage level and is not directlyrelated to the transition time of the input pulse. Schmiu-triggerinput circuitry for the B input allows jitter-free triggering from

inputs with transition times as slow as 1 volt/second, providing the

circuit with an excellent noise immunity of typically 1.2 volts. A

high immunity to Vcc noise of typically 1.5 volts is also provided

by internal latching circuitry.

Once fired, the outputs are independent of further transitions on

the inputs and are a function only of the timing components. Input

pulses may be of any duration relative to the output pulse. Output

pulse lengths may be varied from 40 nanoseconds to 40 seconds by

choosing appropriate timing components. With no external timingcomponents (i.e., pin (?) connected to pin @ ,

pins (10) ,

(1_1) open) an output pulse of typically 30 nanoseconds is

achieved which may be used as a dc triggered reset signal. Output

rise and fall times ate TTL compatible and independent of pulse

length.

Pulse width is achieved through internal compensation and is vir

tually independent of Vcc an" temperature. In most applications,

pulse stability will only be limited by the accuracy of external

timing components.

Jitter-free operation is maintained over the full temperature and

Vcc range for more than six decades of timing capacitance (10 pF

to 10/jF) and more than one decade of timing resistance (2kH to

40k2). Throughout these ranges, pulse width is defined by the rela

tionship tp(out)=

Ct Rt loge 2.

DIGITAL 54/74 TTL SERIES

Circuit performance is achieved with a nominal power dissipation of

90 milliwatts at 5 volts (50% duty cycle) and a quiescent dissipation

of typically 65 milliwatts.

Duty cycles as high as 90% are achieved when using Rt- 40kJ2.

Higher duty cycles are achievable if a certain amount of pulse-width

jitter is allowed.

IRIGGERABLE MONOSTABLE IULTIVIBRATOR WITH CLEAR

A/

K

DESCRIPTION

These monostables are designed to provide the system designer withcomplete flexibility in controlling the pulse width, either to lengthenthe pulse by retnggering, or to shorten by clearing. N74122 has aninternal timing resistor which -allows the circuit to be operatedwith only an external capacitor, if so desired. Applications requiringmore precise pulse widths and not requiring the clear feature can

best be satisfied with N74121.

The output pulse is primarily a function of the external capacitorand resistor. For Cext > 1000pF. the output pulse width (t.) isdefined as:

where

Rt is in kll (either internal or external

For pulse widths when Cext *t lOOOpF, see Figure B.

These circuits are fully compatible with most TTL or DTL families.

Inputs are diode-clamped to minimize reflections due to transmission-

line effects, which simplifies design. Typical power dissipation per

one shot is 115 milliwatts; typical average propagation delay fme

to the Q output is 21 nanoseconds. The N74122 and N74123 are

characterized for operation from 0C to70

DESCRIPTION

These monolithic TTL retriggerable monostable multivibrators fea

ture dc triggering from gated low-level-active (A) and high level-

active (B) inputs, and also provide overriding direct clear inputs.

Complementary outputs are provided. A full fan-out to 10 normal

ized Series 54/74 loads is available from eech of the outputs at the

low logic level, and in the high-level state, a fan-out of 20 is avail

able. The retrigger capability simplifies the generation of output

pulses of extremely long duration. By triggering the input before the

output pulse is terminated, the output pulse may be extended. The

overriding clear capability permits any output pulse to be

terminated at a predetermined time independently of the timing

components R and C.

Figure A illustrates triggering the one-shot with the high-level-active

(B) inputs.

DESCRIPTION

The S5493/N7493 is a high-speed, monolithic 4-bit binary counter

consisting of four master-slave flip-flops which are internallyinterconnected to provide a divide-by-two counter and a divide-by-

eight counter. A gated direct reset line is provided which inhibits the

count inputs and simultaneously returns the four flip-flop outputs

to a logical 0. As the output from flip-flop A is not internallyconnected to the succeeding flip-flops the counter may be operated

in two independent modes:

1. When used as a 4-bit ripple-through counter output A must be

externally connected to input B. The input count pulses are

applied to input A. Simultaneous divisions of 2, 4, 8, and 1 6 are

performed at the A, B, C, and D outputs as shown in the truth

table.

2. When used as a 3-bit ripple-through counter, the input count

pulses are applied to input B. Simultaneous frequency divisions

of 2, 4, and 8 are available at the B, C, and D outputs.

Independent use of flip-flop A is available if the reset function

coincides with reset of the 3-bit ripple-through counter.

The S5493/N7493 is completely compatible with Series 54 and

Series 74 logic families. Average power dissipation is 32mW per

flip-flop (128mW total).
