Eavesdrop On RS-232C Lines
12/05/96 EDN-Design Ideas When debugging serial links between computers, you need to monitor the data moving in both directions across the serial link. As long as the data is half-duplex--only one direction "talks" at a time--the circuit in Figure 1can capture data on both the transmit and receive lines of the RS-232C connection and retransmit this data to a third computer. This third computer can monitor the data using a simple terminal program that allows you to watch the data on a screen and capture the data to a disk file. The monitoring computer receives but does not transmit information. Design by Rick Downs, Dallas Semiconductor, Dallas, TX

EEPROM Driver for 24lc64, 128 & 256 AVR Controllers
I had been putting off writing a driver for some 24LC64 and 24LC256 EEPROMS I was thinking about using, when I came across a temperature logger application written by Sean Ellis. The Temperature logger was posted on on www. avrfreaks. net on January 10, 2002, project ID 49. The original application was written for the ATtiny15, which has a small hardware stack, so when extracting the I2C code, I massaged it a little bit to make it more compact when running on processors equipped with a RAM stack while making it a little easier to customize for new applications. __ Designed by Dick Cappels

Emissions killers trap common-mode currents
03/02/98 EDN-Design Ideas NOTE
: Contains multiple circuits, scroll for this one. An unshielded twisted-pair cable that is transformer-coupled to a digital system can easily act as a radiating antenna, not because of the differential analog signal the cable carries, but because of common-mode currents induced by unwanted stray coupling from the digital portions of the system. These currents from fast digital transitions contain harmonics in the hundreds of megahertz and can be a nightmare to design engineers who have to make systems conform to radiated-emissions limits.

Envelope follower combines fast response, low ripple
12/26/02 EDN-Design Ideas Envelope followers extract amplitude information from complex audio waveforms. The resulting dc voltage often drives nonlinear stages, such as voltage-controlled amplifiers or filters. You must make a careful trade-off between the speed of response to a rapidly changing input signal and the amount of ripple in the dc output that you can tolerate Design by Harry Bissell, Royal Oak, MI

Ethernet 10Base T Simulator Jig yields Zero Emissions
10/22/98 EDN-Design Ideas (File has several circuits, scroll to find this one) A test jig (Figure 1) is a valuable tool because it evaluates RF emissions from Ethernet unshielded-twisted-pair (UTP) 10BaseT LAN-interface devices without contaminating the measured results with its own RF emissions. When an RF-emissions-measurement lab tests a multiport, UTP 10BaseT Ethernet device for compliance with FCC-radiated emission limits, the test is meaningful only if the device transmits data packets from all 10BaseT ports.
