TRANSISTOR SWITCHING CIRCUIT
The switching transistor switches the relay which selects between the switch generators and the public supply.
The
transistor as a switch operates in class a mode as described by the
raja (2002). The relay is switched on when the flip-flop is in set mode
as on when the flip flop is in set mode base resistor is required to
ensure perfect switching of the transistor from back emf that might be
generated since the relay coil present an inductive load. In this case
rc which is the collector resistance is the resistance of the relay coil
which is 400-2 for the relay type used in this project hence given that
rc=400-2(relay coil resistance)
V+=12v (regulated voltage from the power supply stag) VBB = 0.6V (silicon)
VCB = OV (when transistor is switched)
VIN =5V (c from the flip flop stage)
HFE =300(from data sheet for BC 337)
Since
VT =ICRC+VCB - - - - - - - - - - - - (8)
VIN =IBRB +BB - - - - - - - -- - - - - (9)
HFE =IC/IB - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - (10)
RB =VIN –VBB - - - - - - - - - - - - (11)
IB
Where IC collector current
BI =base current
VIN =input voltage
V+ =supply voltage
VCC =collector emitter voltage
HFE =current gain
From equation 8, IC =30ma
From equation 10, IB = 100 UA
From equation 9, RB =44k2
= 47k -2(preferred value)
Where
Vunreg = unregulated d.c voltage
VR2(d.c) = drop across
Relay switching circuit
A relay is an electromagnetic device that is used by varying the input
in order to get a desired output. Relays are of two types, the normally
closed and normally open c from texas instruments, data sheets,Anon 2003
-2007. The type used in this project is the normally open relay.
It is good and common practice to switch a relay with transistor is set in the common emitter configuration.
