Power consumption Portable systems must run on battery power, and the
software in these systems must conserve power
Processor hogs computing that requires large amounts of CPU time can
complicate the response problem
Cost Reducing the cost of the hardware is a concern in many embedded system
projects; software often operates on hardware that is barely adequate for the job.
Embedded systems have a microprocessor/ microcontroller and a memory. Some have a
serial port or a network connection. They usually do not have keyboards, screens or disk
drives.

4.1 TRANSFORMER
Transformers convert AC electricity from one voltage to another with a little loss of power.
Step-up transformers increase voltage, step-down transformers reduce voltage. Most power
9
supplies use a step-down transformer to reduce the dangerously high voltage to a safer low
voltage.
The input coil is called the primary and the output coil is called the secondary. There is
no electrical connection between the two coils; instead they are linked by an alternating magnetic
field created in the soft-iron core of the transformer. The two lines in the middle of the circuit
symbol represent the core. Transformers waste very little power so the power out is (almost)
equal to the power in. Note that as voltage is stepped down and current is stepped up.
The ratio of the number of turns on each coil, called the turns ratio, determines the ratio
of the voltages. A step-down transformer has a large number of turns on its primary (input) coil
which is connected to the high voltage mains supply, and a small number of turns on its
secondary (output) coil to give a low output voltage.
TURNS RATIO = (Vp / Vs) = ( Np / Ns )
Where,
Vp = primary (input) voltage.
Vs = secondary (output) voltage
Np = number of turns on primary coil
Ns = number of turns on secondary coil
Ip = primary (input) current
Is = secondary (output) current.
10
The ideal transformer as a circuit element
If the secondary coil is attached to a load that allows current to flow, electrical power is
transmitted from the primary circuit to the secondary circuit. Ideally, the transformer is perfectly
efficient; all the incoming energy is transformed from the primary circuit to the magnetic field
and into the secondary circuit. If this condition is met, the incoming electric power must equal
the outgoing power:
If the voltage is increased, then the current is decreased by the same factor. The impedance in
one circuit is transformed by the square of the turns ratio. For example, if an impedance Zs is
attached across the terminals of the secondary coil, it appears to the primary circuit to have an
impedance of (Np/Ns)2Zs. This relationship is reciprocal, so that the impedance Zp of the primary
circuit appears to the secondary to be (Ns/Np)2Zp.

Output Voltages of 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 24V.

Description
The LM78XX/LM78XXA series of three-terminal positive regulators are available in the
TO-220/D-PAK package and with several fixed output voltages, making them useful in a Wide
range of applications. Each type employs internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe
operating area protection, making it essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is
provided, they can deliver over 1A output Current. Although designed primarily as fixed voltage
regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and
currents.

4.3 RECTIFIER
A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which
periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), current that flows in only one direction, a
process known as rectification. Rectifiers have many uses including as components of power
supplies and as detectors of radio signals. Rectifiers may be made of solid state diodes, vacuum
tube diodes, mercury arc valves, and other components. The output from the transformer is fed to
the rectifier. It converts A.C. into pulsating D.C. The rectifier may be a half wave or a full wave
rectifier. In this project, a bridge rectifier is used because of its merits like good stability and full
wave rectification. In positive half cycle only two diodes (1 set of parallel diodes) will conduct,
in negative half cycle remaining two diodes will conduct and they will conduct only in forward
bias only.
14
4.4 FILTER
Capacitive filter is used in this project. It removes the ripples from the output of rectifier
and smoothens the D.C. Output received from this filter is constant until the mains voltage and
load is maintained constant. However, if either of the two is varied, D.C. voltage received at this
point changes. Therefore a regulator is applied at the output stage.
The simple capacitor filter is the most basic type of power supply filter. The use of this
filter is very limited. It is sometimes used on extremely high-voltage, low-current power supplies
for cathode-ray and similar electron tubes that require very little load current from the supply.
This filter is also used in circuits where the power-supply ripple frequency is not critical and can
be relatively high.below figure can show how the capacitor chages and discharges.

FIG 4.5(b): PIN DIAGRAM OF AT89S52
Pin Description:
VCC:
Supply voltage.
GND:
Ground
Port 0:
Port 0 is an 8-bit open drain bidirectional I/O port. As an output port, each pin can sink
eight TTL inputs. When 1s are written to port 0 pins, the pins can be used as high-impedance
inputs. Port 0 can also be configured to be the multiplexed low-order address/data bus during
accesses to external program and data memory. In this mode, P0 has internal pull-ups. Port 0 also
receives the code bytes during Flash programming and outputs the code bytes during program
verification. External pull-ups are required during program verification.
Port 1:
Port 1 is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pull-ups. The Port 1 output buffers
can sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 1 pins, they are pulled high by the
19
`internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 1 pins that are externally being
pulled low will source current (IIL) because of the internal pull-ups. In addition, P1.0 and P1.1
can be configured to be the timer/counter 2 external count input (P1.0/T2) and the timer/counter
2 trigger input (P1.1/T2EX).
Port 2:
Port 2 is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pull-ups. The Port 2 output buffers
can sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 2 pins, they are pulled high by the
internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 2 pins that are externally being pulled
low will source current (IIL) because of the internal pull-ups. Port 2 emits the high-order address
byte during fetches from external program memory and during accesses to external data memory
that use 16-bit addresses (MOVX @ DPTR). In this application, Port 2 uses strong internal pull-
ups when emitting 1s. During accesses to external data memory that use 8-bit addresses (MOVX
@ RI), Port 2 emits the contents of the P2 Special Function Register.
Port 3:
Port 3 is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pull-ups. The Port 3 output buffers
can sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 3 pins, they are pulled high by the
internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 3 pins that are externally being pulled
low will source current (IIL) because of the pull-ups.
RST:
Reset input. A high on this pin for two machine cycles while the oscillator is running
resets the device. This pin drives high for 98 oscillator periods after the Watchdog times out. The
DISRTO bit in SFR AUXR (address 8EH) can be used to disable this feature. In the default state
of bit DISRTO, the RESET HIGH out feature is enabled.
ALE/PROG:
Address Latch Enable (ALE) is an output pulse for latching the low byte of the address
during accesses to external memory. This pin is also the program pulse input (PROG) during
Flash programming.
In normal operation, ALE is emitted at a constant rate of 1/6 the oscillator frequency and
may be used for external timing or clocking purposes. Note, however, that one ALE pulse is
skipped during each access to external data memory.
20
PSEN:
Program Store Enable (PSEN) is the read strobe to external program memory. When the
AT89S52 is executing code from external program memory, PSEN is activated twice each
machine cycle, except that two PSEN activations are skipped during each access to external data
memory.
EA/VPP:
External Access Enable. EA must be strapped to GND in order to enable the device to
fetch code from external program memory locations starting at 0000H up to FFFFH. Note,
however, that if lock bit 1 is programmed, EA will be internally latched on reset. EA should be
strapped to VCC for internal program executions. This pin also receives the 12-volt
programming enable voltage (VPP) during Flash programming.
XTAL1:
Input to the inverting oscillator amplifier and input to the internal clock operating circuit.
XTAL2:
Output from the inverting oscillator amplifier
Oscillator Characteristics:
XTAL1 and XTAL2 are the input and output, respectively, of an inverting amplifier
which can be configured for use as an on-chip oscillator, as shown in Figure 1. Either a quartz
crystal or ceramic resonator may be used. To drive the device from an external clock source,
XTAL2 should be left unconnected while XTAL1 is driven as shown in Figure 6.2. There are no
requirements on the duty cycle of the external clock signal, since the input to the internal
clocking circuitry is through a divide-by-two flip-flop, but minimum and maximum voltage high
and low time specifications must be observed.
21
FIG 4.5(c): Oscillator Connections
Idle Mode
In idle mode, the CPU puts itself to sleep while all the on chip peripherals remain active. The
mode is invoked by software. The content of the on-chip RAM and all the special functions
registers remain unchanged during this mode. The idle mode can be terminated by any enabled
interrupt or by a hardware reset.
Power down Mode
In the power down mode the oscillator is stopped, and the instruction that invokes power
down is the last instruction executed. The on-chip RAM and Special Function Registers retain
their values until the power down mode is terminated. The only exit from power down is a
hardware reset. Reset redefines the SFRs but does not change the on-chip RAM. The reset should
not be activated before VCC is restored to its normal operating level and must be held active
long enough to allow the oscillator to restart and stabilize.
The 2051 is a 20 pin version of the 8051. It is a low-voltage, high-performance CMOS 8-bit
microcomputer with 2K bytes of Flash programmable and erasable read only memory. Atmel
manufactures the chip using high-density nonvolatile memory technology. The 2051 and is
22
compatible with the industry-standard MCS-51 instruction set. By combining a versatile 8-bit
CPU with Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel 2051 is a powerful microcontroller. It provides a
very flexible, cost-effective solution to many embedded control applications.
Operational features of the 2051
23
Fig:4.6: Pin Diagram of AT89C2051
Pin Description
VCC:
GND
Ground.
Port 1
Port 1 is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port. Port pins P1.2 to P1.7 provide internal pull- ups.
P1.0 and P1.1 require external pull-ups. P1.0 and P1.1 also serve as the positive input (AIN0)
and the negative input (AIN1), respectively, of the on-chip precision analog comparator. The Port
1 output buffers can sink 20mA and can drive LED displays directly. When 1s are written to Port
1 pins, they can be used as inputs. When pins P1.2 to P1.7 are used as inputs and are externally
pulled low, they will source current (IIL) because of the internal pull-ups. Port 1 also receives
code data during Flash programming and verification.
Port 3
24
Port 3 pins P3.0 to P3.5, P3.7 are seven bi-directional I/O pins with internal pull-ups.
P3.6 is hard-wired as an input to the output of the on-chip comparator and is not accessible as a
general purpose I/O pin. The Port 3 output buffers can sink 20mA. When 1s are written to Port 3
pins they are pulled high by the internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 3 pins
that are externally being pulled low will source current (IIL) because of the pull-ups. Port 3 also
serves the functions of various special features of the AT89C2051 as listed below:
Port 3 also receives some control signals for Flash programming and verification.
RST
Reset input. All I/O pins are reset to 1s as soon as RST goes high. Holding the RST pin
high for two machine cycles while the oscillator is running resets the device.
Restrictions on Instructions
The AT89C2051 and is the economical and cost-effective member of Atmels family of
microcontrollers. Therefore, it contains only 2K bytes of flash program memory. It is fully
compatible with the MCS-51 architecture, and can be programmed using the MCS-51 instruction
set. However, there are a few considerations one must keep in mind when utilizing certain
instructions to program this device. All the instructions related to jumping or branching should
be restricted such that the destination address falls within the physical program memory space of
the device, which is 2K for the AT89C2051. This should be the responsibility of the software
programmer. For example, LJMP 7E0H
would be a valid instruction for the AT89C2051 (with 2K of memory), whereas LJMP 900H
would not.
1. Branching instructions:
25
LCALL, LJMP, ACALL, AJMP, SJMP, JMP @A+DPTR
These unconditional branching instructions will execute correctly as long as the
programmer keeps in mind that the destination branching address must fall within the physical
boundaries of the program memory size (locations 00H to 7FFH for the 89C2051). Violating the
physical space limits may cause unknown program behavior.
CJNE [...], DJNZ [...], JB, JNB, JC, JNC, JBC, JZ, JNZ
With these conditional branching instructions the same rule above applies. Again, violating the
memory boundaries may cause erratic execution.
For applications involving interrupts the normal interrupt service routine address locations of the
80C51 family architecture have been preserved.
26
27
Power-down Mode
In the power down mode the oscillator is stopped, and the instruction that invokes power
down is the last instruction executed. The on-chip RAM and Special Function Registers retain
their values until the power down model is terminated. The only exit from power down is a
hardware reset. Reset redefines the SFRs but does not change the on-chip RAM. The reset should
not be activated before VCC is restored to its normal operating level and must be held active
long enough to allow the oscillator to restart and stabilize.
P1.0 and P1.1 should be set to 0 if no external pull-ups are used, or set to 1 if external pull-
ups are used.
The 2051 is a low voltage (2.7V - 6V), high performance CMOS 8-bit microcontroller with 2
Kbytes of Flash programmable and erasable read only memory (PEROM). This device is
compatible with the industry standard 8051 instruction set and pin-out. The 2051 is a powerful
microcomputer which provides a highly flexible and cost effective solution to many embedded
control applications.
In addition, the 2051 is designed with static logic for operation down to zero frequency and
supports two software selectable power saving modes. The Idle Mode stops the CPU while
allowing the RAM, timer/counters, serial port and interrupt system to continue functioning. The
Power Down Mode saves the RAM contents but freezes the oscillator disabling all other chip
functions until the next hardware reset.
Idle Mode
In idle mode, the CPU puts itself to sleep while all the on-chip peripherals remain active.
The mode is invoked by software. The content of the on-chip RAM and all the special functions
registers remain unchanged during this mode.
The idle mode can be terminated by any enabled interrupt or by a hardware reset. P1.0
and P1.1 should be set to '0' if no external pull ups are used, or set to '1' if external pull ups are
used. It should be noted that when idle is terminated by a hardware reset, the device normally
28
resumes program execution, from where it left off, up to two machine cycles before the internal
reset algorithm takes control. On-chip hardware inhibits access to internal RAM in this event, but
access to the port pins is not inhibited. To eliminate the possibility of an unexpected write to a
port pin when Idle is terminated by reset, the instruction following the one that invokes Idle
should not be one that writes to a port pin or to external memory.
4.11 LED
Light Emitting Diodes (LED) have recently become available that are white and bright,
so bright that they seriously compete with incandescent lamps in lighting applications. They are
still pretty expensive as compared to a GOW lamp but draw much less current and project a
fairly well focused beam.
The diode in the photo came with a neat little reflector that tends to sharpen the beam a
little but doesn't seem to add much to the overall intensity.
When run within their ratings, they are more reliable than lamps as well. Red LEDs are
now being used in automotive and truck tail lights and in red traffic signal lights. You will be
able to detect them because they look like an array of point sources and they go on and off
instantly as compared to conventional incandescent lamps.
LEDs are monochromatic (one color) devices. The color is determined by the band gap of
the semiconductor used to make them. Red, green, yellow and blue LEDs are fairly common.
29
White light contains all colors and cannot be directly created by a single LED. The most
common form of "white" LED really isn't white. It is a Gallium Nitride blue LED coated with a
phosphor that, when excited by the blue LED light, emits a broad range spectrum that in addition
to the blue emission, makes a fairly white light.
There is a claim that these white LED's have a limited life. After 1000 hours or so of
operation, they tend to yellow and dim to some extent. Running the LEDs at more than their
rated current will certainly accelerate this process.
There are two primary ways of producing high intensity white-light using LEDS. One is
to use individual LEDS that emit three primary coloursred, green, and blueand then mix all
the colours to form white light. The other is to use a phosphor material to convert
monochromatic light from a blue or UV LED to broad-spectrum white light, much in the same
way a fluorescent light bulb works. Due to metamerism, it is possible to have quite different
spectra that appear white.
LEDs are semiconductor devices. Like transistors, and other diodes, LEDs are made out
of silicon. What makes an LED give off light are the small amounts of chemical impurities that
are added to the silicon, such as gallium, arsenide, indium, and nitride.
When current passes through the LED, it emits photons as a byproduct. Normal light
bulbs produce light by heating a metal filament until it is white hot. LEDs produce photons
directly and not via heat, they are far more efficient than incandescent bulbs.
Not long ago LEDs were only bright enough to be used as indicators on dashboards or
electronic equipment. But recent advances have made LEDs bright enough to rival traditional
lighting technologies. Modern LEDs can replace incandescent bulbs in almost any application.
Types of LEDS
30
LEDs are produced in an array of shapes and sizes. The 5 mm cylindrical package is the most
common, estimated at 80% of world production. The color of the plastic lens is often the same as the
actual color of light emitted, but not always. For instance, purple plastic is often used for infrared
LEDs, and most blue devices have clear housings. There are also LEDs in extremely tiny packages,
such as those found on blinkers and on cell phone keypads. The main types of LEDs are miniature,
high power devices and custom designs such as alphanumeric or multi-color.
Uses:
In industrial and commercial applications push buttons can be linked together by a
mechanical linkage so that the act of pushing one button causes the other button to be released.
In this way, a stop button can "force" a start button to be released. This method of linkage is used
in simple manual operations in which the machine or process have no electrical circuits for
control.
Pushbuttons are often color-coded to associate them with their function so that the
operator will not push the wrong button in error. Commonly used colors are red for stopping the
machine or process and green for starting the machine or process.
Red pushbuttons can also have large heads (mushroom shaped) for easy operation and to
facilitate the stopping of a machine. These pushbuttons are called emergency stop buttons and
are mandated by the electrical code in many jurisdictions for increased safety. This large
mushroom shape can also be found in buttons for use with operators who need to wear gloves for
their work and could not actuate a regular flush-mounted push button. As an aid for operators
and users in industrial or commercial applications, a pilot light is commonly added to draw the
attention of the user and to provide feedback if the button is pushed. Typically this light is
included into the center of the pushbutton and a lens replaces the pushbutton hard center disk.
The source of the energy to illuminate the light is not directly tied to the contacts on the
back of the pushbutton but to the action the pushbutton controls. In this way a start button when
pushed will cause the process or machine operation to be started and a secondary contact
designed into the operation or process will close to turn on the pilot light and signify the action
of pushing the button caused the resultant process or action to start.
In popular culture, the phrase "the button" refers to a (usually fictional) button that a
military or government leader could press to launch nuclear weapons.
32
Push to ON button:
4.13 BC547
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
The BC547 transistor is an NPN Epitaxial Silicon Transistor. The BC547 transistor is a
general-purpose transistor in small plastic packages. It is used in general-purpose switching and
amplification BC847/BC547 series 45 V, 100 mA NPN general-purpose transistors.
33
We know that the transistor is a "CURRENT" operated device and that a large current
(Ic) flows freely through the device between the collector and the emitter terminals. However,
this only happens when a small biasing current (Ib) is flowing into the base terminal of the
transistor thus allowing the base to act as a sort of current control input. The ratio of these two
currents (Ic/Ib) is called the DC Current Gain of the device and is given the symbol of hfe or
nowadays Beta, (). Beta has no units as it is a ratio. Also, the current gain from the emitter to
the collector terminal, Ic/Ie, is called Alpha, (), and is a function of the transistor itself. As the
emitter current Ie is the product of a very small base current to a very large collector current the
value of this parameter is very close to unity, and for a typical low-power signal transistor this
value ranges from about 0.950 to 0.999.
4.14 RESISTORS
34
A resistor is a two-terminal electronic component designed to oppose an electric current by
producing a voltage drop between its terminals in proportion to the current, that is, in accordance
with Ohm's law:
V = IR
Resistors are used as part of electrical networks and electronic circuits. They are extremely
commonplace in most electronic equipment. Practical resistors can be made of various
compounds and films, as well as resistance wire (wire made of a high-resistivity alloy, such as
nickel/chrome).
The primary characteristics of resistors are their resistance and the power they can
dissipate. Other characteristics include temperature coefficient, noise, and inductance. Less well-
known is critical resistance, the value below which power dissipation limits the maximum
permitted current flow, and above which the limit is applied voltage. Critical resistance depends
upon the materials constituting the resistor as well as its physical dimensions; it's determined by
design.
Resistors can be integrated into hybrid and printed circuits, as well as integrated
circuits. Size, and position of leads (or terminals) are relevant to equipment designers; resistors
must be physically large enough not to overheat when dissipating their power.
A resistor is a two-terminal passive electronic component which implements electrical
resistance as a circuit element. When a voltage V is applied across the terminals of a resistor, a
current I will flow through the resistor in direct proportion to that voltage. The reciprocal of the
constant of proportionality is known as the resistance R, since, with a given voltage V, a larger
value of R further "resists" the flow of current I as given by Ohm's law:
35
Resistors are common elements of electrical networks and electronic circuits and are ubiquitous
in most electronic equipment. Practical resistors can be made of various compounds and films, as
well as resistance wire (wire made of a high-resistivity alloy, such as nickel-chrome). Resistors
are also implemented within integrated circuits, particularly analog devices, and can also be
integrated into hybrid and printed circuits.
The electrical functionality of a resistor is specified by its resistance: common
commercial resistors are manufactured over a range of more than 9 orders of magnitude. When
specifying that resistance in an electronic design, the required precision of the resistance may
require attention to the manufacturing tolerance of the chosen resistor, according to its specific
application. The temperature coefficient of the resistance may also be of concern in some
precision applications. Practical resistors are also specified as having a maximum power rating
which must exceed the anticipated power dissipation of that resistor in a particular circuit: this is
mainly of concern in power electronics applications. Resistors with higher power ratings are
physically larger and may require heat sinking. In a high voltage circuit, attention must
sometimes be paid to the rated maximum working voltage of the resistor.
The series inductance of a practical resistor causes its behavior to depart from ohms law;
this specification can be important in some high-frequency applications for smaller values of
resistance. In a low-noise amplifier or pre-amp the noise characteristics of a resistor may be an
issue. The unwanted inductance, excess noise, and temperature coefficient are mainly dependent
on the technology used in manufacturing the resistor. They are not normally specified
individually for a particular family of resistors manufactured using a particular technology. [1] A
family of discrete resistors is also characterized according to its form factor, that is, the size of
the device and position of its leads (or terminals) which is relevant in the practical manufacturing
of circuits using them.
Units
The ohm (symbol: ) is the SI unit of electrical resistance, named after Georg Simon
Ohm. An ohm is equivalent to a volt per ampere. Since resistors are specified and manufactured
over a very large range of values, the derived units of milliohm (1 m = 103 ), kilohm (1 k =
103 ), and megohm (1 M = 106 ) are also in common usage.
36
The reciprocal of resistance R is called conductance G = 1/R and is measured in Siemens
(SI unit), sometimes referred to as a mho. Thus a Siemens is the reciprocal of an ohm: S = 1.
Although the concept of conductance is often used in circuit analysis, practical resistors are
always specified in terms of their resistance (ohms) rather than conductance.
VARIABLE RESISTORS
Adjustable resistors
A resistor may have one or more fixed tapping points so that the resistance can be
changed by moving the connecting wires to different terminals. Some wire wound power
resistors have a tapping point that can slide along the resistance element, allowing a larger or
smaller part of the resistance to be used.
Where continuous adjustment of the resistance value during operation of equipment is
required, the sliding resistance tap can be connected to a knob accessible to an operator. Such a
device is called a rheostat and has two terminals.
Potentiometer
A potentiometer is a manually adjustable resistor. The way this device works is relatively simple.
One terminal of the potentiometer is connected to a power source. Another is hooked up to ground (a
point with no voltage or resistance and which serves as a neutral reference point), while the third
terminal runs across a strip of resistive material. This resistive strip generally has a low resistance at
one end; its resistance gradually increases to a maximum resistance at the other end. The third terminal
serves as the connection between the power source and ground, and is usually interfaced to the user by
means of a knob or lever. The user can adjust the position of the third terminal along the resistive strip
in order to manually increase or decrease resistance. By controlling resistance, a potentiometer can
determine how much current flow through a circuit. When used to regulate current, the potentiometer
is limited by the maximum resistivity of the strip.
The power of this simple device is not to be underestimated. In most analog devices, a
potentiometer is what establishes the levels of output. In a loud speaker, for example, a potentiometer
directly adjusts volume; in a television monitor, it controls brightness.
37
A potentiometer can also be used to control the potential difference, or voltage, across a circuit.
The setup involved in utilizing a potentiometer for this purpose is a little bit more complicated. It
involves two circuits: the first circuit consists of a cell and a resistor. At one end, the cell is connected
in series to the second circuit, and at the other end it is connected to a potentiometer in parallel with
the second circuit. The potentiometer in this arrangement drops the voltage by an amount equal to the
ratio between the resistance allowed by the position of the third terminal and the highest possible
resistivity of the strip. In other words, if the knob controlling the resistance is positioned at the exact
halfway point on the resistive strip, then the output voltage will drop by exactly fifty percent, no
matter how high the potentiometer's input voltage. Unlike with current regulation, voltage regulation is
not limited by the maximum resistivity of the strip
4.15 CAPACITORS
A capacitor or condenser is a passive electronic component consisting of a pair of
conductors separated by a dielectric. When a voltage potential difference exists between the
conductors, an electric field is present in the dielectric. This field stores energy and produces a
mechanical force between the plates. The effect is greatest between wide, flat, parallel, narrowly
separated conductors.
38
An ideal capacitor is characterized by a single constant value, capacitance, which is
measured in farads. This is the ratio of the electric charge on each conductor to the potential
difference between them. In practice, the dielectric between the plates passes a small amount of
leakage current. The conductors and leads introduce an equivalent series resistance and the
dielectric has an electric field strength limit resulting in a breakdown voltage.
The properties of capacitors in a circuit may determine the resonant frequency and
quality factor of a resonant circuit, power dissipation and operating frequency in a digital logic
circuit, energy capacity in a high-power system, and many other important aspects.
A capacitor (formerly known as condenser) is a device for storing electric charge. The forms of
practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least two conductors separated by a non-
conductor. Capacitors used as parts of electrical systems, for example, consist of metal foils
separated by a layer of insulating film.
Capacitors are widely used in electronic circuits for blocking direct current while
allowing alternating current to pass, in filter networks, for smoothing the output of power
supplies, in the resonant circuits that tune radios to particular frequencies and for many other
purposes.
39
A capacitor is a passive electronic component consisting of a pair of conductors separated
by a dielectric (insulator). When there is a potential difference (voltage) across the conductors, a
static electric field develops in the dielectric that stores energy and produces a mechanical force
between the conductors. An ideal capacitor is characterized by a single constant value,
capacitance, measured in farads. This is the ratio of the electric charge on each conductor to the
potential difference between them.
The capacitance is greatest when there is a narrow separation between large areas of
conductor, hence capacitor conductors are often called "plates", referring to an early means of
construction. In practice the dielectric between the plates passes a small amount of leakage
current and also has an electric field strength limit, resulting in a breakdown voltage, while the
conductors and leads introduce an undesired inductance and resistance.
Theory of operation
Capacitance
Sometimes charge build-up affects the capacitor mechanically, causing its capacitance to vary. In
this case, capacitance is defined in terms of incremental changes:
Energy storage
Work must be done by an external influence to "move" charge between the conductors in
a capacitor. When the external influence is removed the charge separation persists in the electric
field and energy is stored to be released when the charge is allowed to return to its equilibrium
position. The work done in establishing the electric field, and hence the amount of energy stored,
is given by:[11]
Current-voltage relation
The current i(t) through any component in an electric circuit is defined as the rate of flow
of a charge q(t) passing through it, but actual charges, electrons, cannot pass through the
dielectric layer of a capacitor, rather an electron accumulates on the negative plate for each one
that leaves the positive plate, resulting in an electron depletion and consequent positive charge on
one electrode that is equal and opposite to the accumulated negative charge on the other. Thus
the charge on the electrodes is equal to the integral of the current as well as proportional to the
voltage as discussed above. As with any antiderivative, a constant of integration is added to
represent the initial voltage v (t0). This is the integral form of the capacitor equation,
41
.
Taking the derivative of this, and multiplying by C, yields the derivative form,
.
The dual of the capacitor is the inductor, which stores energy in the magnetic field rather than the
electric field. Its current-voltage relation is obtained by exchanging current and voltage in the
capacitor equations and replacing C with the inductance L.
DC circuits
A series circuit containing only a resistor, a capacitor, a switch and a constant DC source of
voltage V0 is known as a charging circuit. If the capacitor is initially uncharged while the switch
is open, and the switch is closed at t = 0, it follows from Kirchhoff's voltage law that
At t = 0, the voltage across the capacitor is zero and the voltage across the resistor is V0. The
initial current is then i (0) =V0 /R. With this assumption, the differential equation yields
42
As the capacitor reaches equilibrium with the source voltage, the voltage across the resistor and
the current through the entire circuit decay exponentially. The case of discharging a charged
capacitor likewise demonstrates exponential decay, but with the initial capacitor voltage
replacing V0 and the final voltage being zero.
Applications
Capacitors have many uses in electronic and electrical systems. They are so common that
it is a rare electrical product that does not include at least one for some purpose.
WHAT IS ANDROID?
43
Android is a Linux-based operating system designed primarily for touch
screen mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet computers. Initially
developed by Android, Inc., which Google backed financially and later bought in
2005, Android was unveiled in 2007 along with the founding of the Open Handset
Alliance: a consortium of hardware, software, and telecommunication companies
devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices. The first Android-
powered phone was sold in October 2008.
44
FACTORS THAT LED ANDROID TO BECOME WORLDS MOST
POPULAR OS
Android is open source and Google releases the code under the Apache
License. This open-source code and permissive licensing allows the software to be
freely modified and distributed by device manufacturers, wireless carriers and
enthusiast developers. Additionally, Android has a large community of developers
writing applications ("apps") that extend the functionality of devices, written
primarily in a customized version of the Java programming language. In October
2012, there were approximately 700,000 apps available for Android, and the
estimated number of applications downloaded from Google Play, Android's
primary app store, was 25 billion. A developer survey conducted in AprilMay
2013 found that Android is the most popular platform for developers, used by 71%
of the mobile developer population.
These factors have contributed towards making Android the world's most widely
used Smartphone platform, overtaking Symbian in the fourth quarter of 2010, and
the software of choice for technology companies who require a low-cost,
customizable, lightweight operating system for high tech devices without
developing one from scratch. As a result, despite being primarily designed for
phones and tablets, it has seen additional applications on televisions, games
45
consoles, digital cameras and other electronics. Android's open nature has further
encouraged a large community of developers and enthusiasts to use the open-
source code as a foundation for community-driven projects, which add new
features for advanced users or bring Android to devices which were officially,
released running other operating systems.
Android's share of the global Smartphone market, led by Samsung products, was
64% in March 2013. In July 2013 there were 11,868 models of Android device,
scores of screen sizes and eight OS versions simultaneously in use. The operating
system's success has made it a target for patent litigation as part of the so-called
"Smartphone" between technology companies. As of May 2013, 48 billion apps
have been installed from the Google Play store, and as of September 3, 2013, 1
billion Android devices have been activated.
Interface
Android's user interface is based on manipulation, using touch inputs that loosely
correspond to real-world actions, like swiping, tapping, pinching and reverse
pinching to manipulate on-screen objects. The response to user input is designed to
be immediate and provides a fluid touch interface, often using the vibration
capabilities of the device to provide hap tic feedback to the user. Internal hardware
such as accelerometers, gyroscopes and proximity sensors are used by some
applications to respond to additional user actions, for example adjusting the screen
from portrait to landscape depending on how the device is oriented, or allowing the
user to steer a vehicle in a racing game by rotating the device, simulating control of
a steering wheel.
Android devices boot to the home screen, the primary navigation and information
point on the device, which is similar to the desktop found on PCs. Android home
46
screens are typically made up of app icons and widgets; app icons launch the
associated app, whereas widgets display live, auto-updating content such as the
weather forecast, the user's email inbox, or a news ticker directly on the home
screen. A home screen may be made up of several pages that the user can swipe
back and forth between, though Android's home screen interface is heavily
customizable, allowing the user to adjust the look and feel of the device to their
tastes. Third party apps available on Google Play and other app stores can
extensively re-theme the home screen, and even mimic the look of other operating
systems, such as Windows Phone. Most manufacturers, and some wireless carriers,
customize the look and feel of their Android devices to differentiate themselves
from their competitors.
Present along the top of the screen is a status bar, showing information about the
device and its connectivity. This status bar can be "pulled" down to reveal a
notification screen where apps display important information or updates, such as a
newly received email or SMS text, in a way that does not immediately interrupt or
inconvenience the user. In early versions of Android these notifications could be
tapped to open the relevant app, but recent updates have provided enhanced
functionality, such as the ability to call a number back directly from the missed call
notification without having to open the dialer app first. Notifications are persistent
until read or dismissed by the user.
47
Android has a growing selection of third party applications, which can be acquired
by users either through an app store such as Google Play or the Amazon Appstore,
or by downloading and installing the application's APK file from a third-party
site. The Play Store application allows users to browse, download and update apps
published by Google and third-party developers, and is pre-installed on devices
that comply with Google's compatibility requirements. The app filters the list of
available applications to those that are compatible with the user's device, and
developers may restrict their applications to particular carriers or countries for
business reasons. Purchases of unwanted applications can be refunded within 15
minutes of the time of download, and some carriers offer direct carrier billing for
Google Play application purchases, where the cost of the application is added to
the user's monthly bill. As of September 2012, there were more than 675,000 apps
available for Android, and the estimated number of applications downloaded from
the Play Store was 25 billion.
Applications are developed in the Java language using the Android software
development kit (SDK). The SDK includes a comprehensive set of development
48
tools, including a debugger, software libraries, a handset emulator based
on QEMU, documentation, sample code, and tutorials. The officially supported
integrated development environment (IDE) is Eclipse using the Android
Development Tools (ADT) plug-in. Other development tools are available,
including a Native Development Kit for applications or extensions in C or C+
+, Google App Inventor, a visual environment for novice programmers, and
various cross platform mobile web applications frameworks.
Android is developed in private by Google until the latest changes and updates are
ready to be released, at which point the source code is made available
publicly. This source code will only run without modification on select devices,
usually the Nexus series of devices. With others, there are
proprietary binaries which have to be provided by the manufacturer in order for
Android to work. The green Android logo was designed by graphic designer Irina
Blok.
Linux
Architecture diagram
49
Android consists of a kernel based on Linux kernel version 3.x (version 2.6 prior to
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich), with middleware, libraries and APIs written
in C, and application software running on an application framework which
includes Java-compatible libraries based on Apache Harmony. Android uses
the Dalvik virtual machine with just-in-time compilation to run Dalvik 'dex-code'
(Dalvik Executable), which is usually translated from code. The main hardware
platform for Android is the ARM architecture. There is support for x86from
the Android-x86 project, and Google TV uses a special x86 version of Android. In
2013, free scale announced Android on its i.MX processor, i.MX5X and i.MX6X
series. In 2012 Intel processors began to appear on more mainstream Android
platforms, such as phones.
Android's Linux kernel has further architecture changes by Google outside the
typical Linux kernel development cycle. Android does not have a native X
Window System by default nor does it support the full set of
standard GNU libraries, and this makes it difficult to port existing Linux
applications or libraries to Android. Support for simple C and SDL applications is
possible by injection of a small Java shim and usage of the JNI[74] like, for
example, in the Jagged Alliance 2 port for Android.[75]
Memory management
Since Android devices are usually battery-powered, Android is designed to manage
memory (RAM) to keep power consumption at a minimum, in contrast to desktop
operating systems which generally assume they are connected to unlimited mains
electricity. When an Android app is no longer in use, the system will automatically
suspend it in memory while the app is still technically "open," suspended apps
consume no resources (e.g. battery power or processing power) and sit idly in the
background until needed again. This has the dual benefit of increasing the general
50
responsiveness of Android devices, since apps don't need to be closed and
reopened from scratch each time, but also ensuring background apps don't waste
power needlessly.
Android manages the apps stored in memory automatically: when memory is low,
the system will begin killing apps and processes that have been inactive for a
while, in reverse order since they were last used (i.e. oldest first). This process is
designed to be invisible to the user, such that users do not need to manage memory
or the killing of apps themselves. However, confusion over Android memory
management has resulted in third-party task killers becoming popular on
the Google Play store; these third-party task killers are generally regarded as doing
more harm than good.
Update schedule
From left to right: HTC Dream (G1),Nexus One, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus
Google provides major updates, incremental in nature, to Android every six to nine
months, which most devices are capable of receiving over the air. The latest major
update is Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
Compared to its chief rival mobile operating system, namely iOS, Android updates
are typically slow to reach actual devices. For devices not under the Nexus brand,
updates often arrive months from the time the given version is officially
released. This is caused partly due to the extensive variation in hardware of
51
Android devices, to which each update must be specifically tailored, as the official
Google source code only runs on their flagship Nexus devices. Porting Android to
specific hardware is a time- and resource-consuming process for device
manufacturers, who prioritize their newest devices and often leave older ones
behind. Hence, older smart phones are frequently not updated if the manufacturer
decides it is not worth their time, regardless of whether the phone is capable of
running the update. This problem is compounded when manufacturers customize
Android with their own interface and apps, which must be reapplied to each new
release. Additional delays can be introduced by wireless carriers who, after
receiving updates from manufacturers, further customize and brand Android to
their needs and conduct extensive testing on their networks before sending the
update out to users.
The lack of after-sale support from manufacturers and carriers has been widely
criticized by consumer groups and the technology media. Some commentators
have noted that the industry has a financial incentive not to update their devices, as
the lack of updates for existing devices fuels the purchase of newer ones, an
attitude described as "insulting". The Guardian has complained that the
complicated method of distribution for updates is only complicated because
manufacturers and carriers have designed it that way. In 2011, Google partnered
with a number of industry players to announce an "Android Update Alliance",
pledging to deliver timely updates for every device for 18 months after its
release. As of 2013, this alliance has never been mentioned since.
To combat this, Google began updating many of its services, including Google
Maps and Google Play Music independently of Android itself through Google Play
Services, a system-level component providing APIs for Google services, which is
52
installed automatically and updated directly by Google, and supports nearly all
devices running version 2.2 and higher.[102]
Open-source community
Android has an active community of developers and enthusiasts who use the
Android source code to develop and distribute their own modified versions of the
operating system. These community-developed releases often bring new features
and updates to devices faster than through the official manufacturer/carrier
channels, albeit without as extensive testing or quality assurance; provide
continued support for older devices that no longer receive official updates; or bring
Android to devices that were officially released running other operating systems,
such as the HP Touchpad. Community releases often come pre-rooted and contain
modifications unsuitable for non-technical users, such as the ability to over
clock or over/under volt the device's processor. CyanogenMod is the most widely
used community firmware, and acts as a foundation for numerous others.
The unlocking and "hack ability" of smart phones and tablets remains a source of
tension between the community and industry, with the community arguing that
unofficial development is increasingly important given the failure of industry to
provide timely updates and/or continued support to their devices.
Android applications run in a sandbox, an isolated area of the system that does not
have access to the rest of the system's resources, unless access permissions are
explicitly granted by the user when the application is installed. Before installing an
54
application, the Play Store displays all required permissions: a game may need to
enable vibration or save data to an SD card, for example, but should not need to
read SMS messages or access the phonebook. After reviewing these permissions,
the user can choose to accept or refuse them, installing the application only if they
accept. The sandboxing and permissions system lessens the impact of
vulnerabilities and bugs in applications, but developer confusion and limited
documentation has resulted in applications routinely requesting unnecessary
permissions, reducing its effectiveness. Several security firms, such as Lookout
Mobile Security, AVG Technologies, and McAfee, have released antivirus software
for Android devices. This software is ineffective as sandboxing also applies to such
applications, limiting their ability to scan the deeper system for threats.
Research from security company Trend Micro lists premium service abuse as the
most common type of Android malware, where text messages are sent from
infected phones to premium-rate telephone numbers without the consent or even
knowledge of the user. Other malware displays unwanted and intrusive adverts on
the device, or sends personal information to unauthorized third parties. Security
threats on Android are reportedly growing exponentially; however, Google
engineers have argued that the malware and virus threat on Android is being
exaggerated by security companies for commercial reasons, and have accused the
security industry of playing on fears to sell virus protection software to
users. Google maintains that dangerous malware is actually extremely rare, and a
survey conducted by F-Secure showed that only 0.5% of Android malware
reported had come from the Google Play store.
Google currently uses their Google Bouncer malware scanner to watch over and
scan the Google Play store apps. It is intended to flag up suspicious apps and warn
users of any potential issues with an application before they download it. Android
55
version 4.2 Jelly Bean was released in 2012 with enhanced security features,
including a malware scanner built into the system, which works in combination
with Google Play but can scan apps installed from third party sources as well, and
an alert system which notifies the user when an app tries to send a premium-rate
text message, blocking the message unless the user explicitly authorizes it.
Android smart phones have the ability to report the location of Wi-Fi access points,
encountered as phone users move around, to build databases containing the
physical locations of hundreds of millions of such access points. These databases
form electronic maps to locate smart phones, allowing them to run apps
like Foursquare, Google Latitude, and Face book Places, and to deliver location-
based ads.[126] Third party monitoring software such as Taint Droid, an academic
research-funded project, can, in some cases, detect when personal information is
being sent from applications to remote servers.[128] In August 2013, Google released
the Android Device Manager, a component that allows users to remotely track,
locate, and wipe their Android device through an online interface. As it is
implemented through Google Play Services instead of within Android itself, it is
available to most Android devices with version 2.2 and higher.
In July 2011, Google said that 550,000 new Android devices were being activated
every day, up from 400,000 per day in May, and more than 100 million devices had
been activated with 4.4% growth per week. In September 2012, 500 million
devices had been activated with 1.3 million activations per day. In May 2013,
at Google I/O, Sundar Pichai announced that 900 million Android devices had been
activated.
Android market share varies by location. In July 2012, Android's market share in
the United States was 52%, and rose to 90% in China. During the third quarter of
2012, Android's worldwide Smartphone market share was 75%, with 750 million
devices activated in total and 1.5 million activations per day.

Application piracy
There has been some concern about the ease with which paid Android apps can
be pirated. In a May 2012 interview with Euro gamer, the developers of Football
Manager stated that the ratio of pirated players vs legitimate players was 9:1 for
their game Football Manager Handheld. However, not every developer agreed that
piracy rates were an issue; for example, in July 2012 the developers of the game
Wind-up Knight said that piracy levels of their game were only 12%, and most of
the piracy came from China, where people cannot purchase apps from Google Play.
In 2010, Google released a tool for validating authorized purchases for use within
apps, but developers complained that this was insufficient and trivial to crack.
Google responded that the tool, especially its initial release, was intended as a
sample framework for developers to modify and build upon depending on their
needs, not as a finished piracy solution. In 2012 Google released a feature in
Android 4.1 that encrypted paid applications so that they would only work on the
device on which they were purchased, but this feature has been temporarily
deactivated due to technical issues.

The Sony Smart Watch: an example of how Android is used on electronics other
than smart phones and tablets
Android:
Android the most popular Smartphone OS, but it's also now positioned to be the
dominant tablet and hybrid OS by the middle of 2013. It's no wonder, because
Android is (in many ways) the "Windows" of mobile OS platforms. With multiple
device manufacturers competing on price, quality, features and other positions,
Android devices offer a flexibility that iOS cannot match. There's something for
every budget, goal, and desire among Android-based devices.
Android is the middle ground. With many of the features (and liabilities) of a true
mobile OS, Google has tried to walk a line in offering the same kind of intuitive,
light-weight mobile experience as iOS but with the power and flexibility of a
traditional Windows desktop OS. They've done a pretty good job at this, which is
reflected in the popularity of this platform.
However, the process has not been without compromise. In making a more flexible
and powerful platform that supports more devices, Android has become less of a
consumer appliance and more of a power user's playground. While that may sound
good to a lot of potential users, it means that Android is not as stable, predictable,
or well designed as iOS. Things are just a little less polished.
62
At the same time, for true power users, Android falls just short of being able to
deliver a completely satisfying experience. I've been using Android daily for
several years, chasing a replacement for my Windows laptop. Part of my shock that
iOS users are chasing this goal is my disappointment with Android in this regard. I
can leave the PC notebook at home for trips and travel, but I've had to adjust and
learn "work-around" methods that include saving the heavy lifting for a real PC.
For some users, this is good enough. If you want a little more power on the road
but are still okay with needing a PC to finish things up when you return, Android
may be a good solution for you
Windows 8:
Windows RT is aimed at people who want a very lightweight device that offers a
lot of the hardware features of competitive tablets, with a somewhat crippled
version of Microsoft's "Classic" Windows mode. The crippled Classic mode still
offers the best corporate productivity platform of any mobile tablet device in this
class for professionals in Microsoft shops.
Windows Pro devices are really just full-fledged traditional PCs with a touch-
oriented GUI. They can do everything a PC can do, but they offer mobile, touch-
oriented features too. These devices do not generally deliver the same true instant-
on and true 8+ hour battery life as mobile OS platforms, nor the quiet fanless
operation. But if you're a heavy professional content creator in a Microsoft
business and you want a device that offers many benefits of touch-screen mobile
devices, there may be no better choice for you.
Remember, there's no platform that's truly superior to the others in this roundup.
They all have benefits and compromises, so you need to select the platform that
64
appeals the most to you. Depending on your needs and tastes, however, you might
end up picking a platform that isn't the best solution for you.
Which device platform best fits your needs? Let us hear your questions and
feedback in the discussion thread below.
The Android platform includes support for the Bluetooth network stack, which
allows a device to wirelessly exchange data with other Bluetooth devices. The
application framework provides access to the Bluetooth functionality through the
Android Bluetooth APIs. These APIs let applications wirelessly connect to other
Bluetooth devices, enabling point-to-point and multipoint wireless features.
Using the Bluetooth APIs, an Android application can perform the following:
This document describes how to use Classic Bluetooth. Classic Bluetooth is the
right choice for more battery-intensive operations such as streaming and
communicating between Android devices. For Bluetooth devices with low power
65
requirements, Android 4.3 (API Level 18) introduces API support for Bluetooth
Low Energy. To learn more, see Bluetooth Low Energy.
This document describes how to use the Android Bluetooth APIs to accomplish the
four major tasks necessary to communicate using Bluetooth: setting up Bluetooth,
finding devices that are either paired or available in the local area, connecting
devices, and transferring data between devices.
application permissions.
Setting Up Bluetooth
Before your application can communicate over Bluetooth, you need to verify that
Bluetooth is supported on the device, and if so, ensure that it is enabled.If
Bluetooth is not supported, then you should gracefully disable any Bluetooth
66
features. If Bluetooth is supported, but disabled, then you can request that the user
enable Bluetooth without leaving your application.
Finding Devices
you can find remote Bluetooth devices either through device discovery or by
querying the list of paired (bonded) devices.Device discovery is a scanning
procedure that searches the local area for Bluetooth enabled devices and then
requesting some information about each one (this is sometimes referred to as
"discovering," "inquiring" or "scanning"). However, a Bluetooth device within the
local area will respond to a discovery request only if it is currently enabled to be
discoverable. If a device is discoverable, it will respond to the discovery request by
sharing some information, such as the device name, class, and its unique MAC
address. Using this information, the device performing discovery can then choose
to initiate a connection to the discovered device.
Once a connection is made with a remote device for the first time, a pairing request
is automatically presented to the user. When a device is paired, the basic
information about that device (such as the device name, class, and MAC address)
is saved and can be read using the Bluetooth APIs. Using the known MAC address
for a remote device, a connection can be initiated with it at any time without
performing discovery (assuming the device is within range).
The following sections describe how to find devices that have been paired, or
discover new devices using device discovery.
Note: Android-powered devices are not discoverable by default. A user can make
the device discoverable for a limited time through the system settings, or an
application can request that the user enable discoverability without leaving the
Application. How to enable discoverability is discussed below.
Before performing device discovery, its worth querying the set of paired devices to
see if the desired device is already known. To do so, call getBondedDevices(). This
will return a Set of BluetoothDevices representing paired devices. For example,
you can query all paired devices and then show the name of each device to the
user, using an ArrayAdapter:
Set<BluetoothDevice>
pairedDevices =
mBluetoothAdapter.getBondedDe
vices();
// If there are paired devices
if (pairedDevices.size() > 0) {
// Loop through paired devices
for (BluetoothDevice device :
68
pairedDevices) {
// Add the name and address
to an array adapter to show in a
ListView
mArrayAdapter.add(device.getNa
me() + "\n" +
device.getAddress());
}
}
All that's needed from the BluetoothDevice object in order to initiate a connection
is the MAC address. In this example, it's saved as a part of an ArrayAdapter that's
shown to the user. The MAC address can later be extracted in order to initiate the
connection. You can learn more about creating a connection in the section
about Connecting Devices.

Managing a Connection
When you have successfully connected two (or more) devices, each one will have
a connectedBluetoothSocket. This is where the fun begins because you can share
data between devices. Using theBluetoothSocket, the general procedure to transfer
arbitrary data is simple:
71
1.Get the InputStream and OutputStream that handle transmissions through the
socket, viagetInputStream() and getOutputStream(), respectively.Read and write
data to the streams with read(byte[]) and write(byte[]).That's it.There are, of
course, implementation details to consider. First and foremost, you should use a
dedicated thread for all stream reading and writing. This is important because
both read(byte[]) and write(byte[])methods are blocking calls. read(byte[]) will
block until there is something to read from the stream.write(byte[]) does not
usually block, but can block for flow control if the remote device is not
callingread(byte[]) quickly enough and the intermediate buffers are full. So,
your main loop in the thread should be dedicated to reading from
the InputStream. A separate public method in the thread can be used to initiate
writes to the OutputStream.
Example
public
ConnectedThread(BluetoothSocket
socket) {
mmSocket = socket;
InputStream tmpIn = null;
OutputStream tmpOut =
null;
72
// Get the input and
output streams, using temp
objects because
// member streams are
final
try {
tmpIn =
socket.getInputStream();
tmpOut =
socket.getOutputStream();
} catch (IOException e) {
}
mmInStream = tmpIn;
mmOutStream = tmpOut;
}
mHandler.obtainMessage(MESSAGE_RE
AD, bytes, -1, buffer)
.sendToTarget();
} catch (IOException
e) {
break;
73
}
}
}
mmOutStream.write(bytes);
} catch (IOException e) {

5.SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
Keil is a cross compiler. So first we have to understand the concept of compilers and
cross compilers. After then we shall learn how to work with keil.
Compilers are programs used to convert a High Level Language to object code. Desktop
compilers produce an output object code for the underlying microprocessor, but not for other
microprocessors. I.E the programs written in one of the HLL like C will compile the code to
run on the system for a particular processor like x86 (underlying microprocessor in the
computer). For example compilers for Dos platform is different from the Compilers for Unix
platform So if one wants to define a compiler then compiler is a program that translates source
code into object code.
76
The compiler derives its name from the way it works, looking at the entire piece of
source code and collecting and reorganizing the instruction. See there is a bit little difference
between compiler and an interpreter. Interpreter just interprets whole program at a time while
compiler analyses and execute each line of source code in succession, without looking at the
entire program.
The advantage of interpreters is that they can execute a program immediately. Secondly
programs produced by compilers run much faster than the same programs executed by an
interpreter. However compilers require some time before an executable program emerges. Now
as compilers translate source code into object code, which is unique for each type of computer,
many compilers are available for the same language.
A cross compiler is similar to the compilers but we write a program for the target
processor (like 8051 and its derivatives) on the host processors (like computer of x86). It means
being in one environment you are writing a code for another environment is called cross
development. And the compiler used for cross development is called cross compiler. So the
definition of cross compiler is a compiler that runs on one computer but produces object code for
a different type of computer.

Debugger
The Keil ARM tool kit includes three main tools, assembler, compiler and linker. An
assembler is used to assemble the ARM assembly program. A compiler is used to compile the C
source code into an object file. A linker is used to create an absolute object module suitable for
our in-circuit emulator.

need to configure the memory map of your target hardware. Default memory model
settings are optimal for most applications.
7 Select Project - Rebuild all target files or Build target.
79
Target toolbar icon. When you build an application with syntax errors, Vision2 will display
errors and warning messages in the Output Window Build page. A double click on a message
line opens the source file on the correct location in a Vision2 editor window. Once you have
successfully generated your application you can start debugging.
After you have tested your application, it is required to create an Intel HEX file to
download the software into an EPROM programmer or simulator. Vision2 creates HEX files
with each build process when Create HEX files under Options for Target Output is enabled.
You may start your PROM programming utility after the make process when you specify the
program under the option Run User Program #1.
80
For example, you can use the find command or correct program errors. Program source
text of your application is shown in the same windows. The Vision2 debug mode differs from
the edit mode in the following aspects:
_ The Debug Menu and Debug Commands described on page 28 are available. The additional
debug windows are discussed in the following.
_ The project structure or tool parameters cannot be modified. All build commands are disabled.
5.15 EMBEDDED C
Use of embedded processors in passenger cars, mobile phones, medical equipment,
aerospace systems and defense systems is widespread, and even everyday domestic appliances
such as dish washers, televisions, washing machines and video recorders now include at least one
such device.
81
Because most embedded projects have severe cost constraints, they tend to use low-cost
processors like the 8051 family of devices considered in this book. These popular chips have
very limited resources available most such devices have around 256 bytes (not megabytes!) of
RAM, and the available processor power is around 1000 times less than that of a desktop
processor. As a result, developing embedded software presents significant new challenges, even
for experienced desktop programmers. If you have some programming experience - in C, C++
or Java - then this book and its accompanying CD will help make your move to the embedded
world as quick and painless as possible.
6.1 DESCRIPTION
POWER SUPPLY
The circuit uses standard power supply comprising of a step-down transformer from
230Vto 12V and 4 diodes forming a bridge rectifier that delivers pulsating dc which is then
filtered by an electrolytic capacitor of about 470F to 1000F. The filtered dc being unregulated,
IC LM7805 is used to get 5V DC constant at its pin no 3 irrespective of input DC varying from
7V to 15V. The input dc shall be varying in the event of input ac at 230volts section varies from
160V to 270V in the ratio of the transformer primary voltage V1 to secondary voltage V2
governed by the formula V1/V2=N1/N2. As N1/N2 i.e. no. of turns in the primary to the no. of
turns in the secondary remains unchanged V2 is directly proportional to V1.Thus if the
transformer delivers 12V at 220V input it will give 8.72V at 160V.Similarly at 270V it will give
14.72V.Thus the dc voltage at the input of the regulator changes from about 8V to 15V because
of A.C voltage variation from 160V to 270V the regulator output will remain constant at 5V.
82
The regulated 5V DC is further filtered by a small electrolytic capacitor of 10F for any
noise so generated by the circuit. One LED is connected of this 5V point in series with a current
limiting resistor of 330 to the ground i.e., negative voltage to indicate 5V power supply
availability. The unregulated 12V point is used for other applications as and when required.
ATMEL series of 8051 family of micro controllers need certain standard connections.
The actual number of the Microcontroller could be 89C51 , 89C52, 89S51, 89S52, and
as regards to 20 pin configuration a number of 89C2051. The 4 set of I/O ports are used based
on the project requirement. Every microcontroller requires a timing reference for its internal
program execution therefore an oscillator needs to be functional with a desired frequency to
obtain the timing reference as t =1/f.
A crystal ranging from 2 to 20 MHz is required to be used at its pin number 18 and 19 for
the internal oscillator. It may be noted here the crystal is not to be understood as crystal oscillator
It is just a crystal, while connected to the appropriate pin of the microcontroller it results in
oscillator function inside the microcontroller. Typically 11.0592 MHz crystal is used in general
for most of the circuits using 8051 series microcontroller. Two small value ceramic capacitors of
33pF each is used as a standard connection for the crystal as shown in the circuit diagram.
RESET
Pin no 9 is provided with an re-set arrangement by a combination of an electrolytic
capacitor and a register forming RC time constant. At the time of switch on, the capacitor gets
charged, and it behaves as a full short circuit from the positive to the pin number 9. After the
capacitor gets fully charged the current stops flowing and pin number 9 goes low which is pulled
down by a 10k resistor to the ground. This arrangement of reset at pin 9 going high initially and
then to logic 0 i.e., low helps the program execution to start from the beginning. In absence of
this the program execution could have taken place arbitrarily anywhere from the program cycle.
83
A pushbutton switch is connected across the capacitor so that at any given time as desired it can
be pressed such that it discharges the capacitor and while released the capacitor starts charging
again and then pin number 9 goes to high and then back to low, to enable the program execution
from the beginning. This operation of high to low of the reset pin takes place in fraction of a
second as decided by the time constant R and C.
For example: A 10F capacitor and a 10k resistor would render a 100ms time to pin number 9
from logic high to low, there after the pin number 9 remains low.
External Access(EA):
Pin no 31 of 40 pin 8051 microcontroller termed as EA is required to be connected to 5V for
accessing the program form the on-chip program memory. If it is connected to ground then the
controller accesses the program from external memory. However as we are using the internal
memory it is always connected to +5V.
84
ENCODER AND DECODER
ENCODER IC IS HT12E and DECODER IC IS HT12D. Basically they have operating voltages
from 2.4V to 12V and they are CMOS ICs. ENCODER HT12E has 8 address / data lines. The
data set on these 12 lines is serially transmitted. When the transmission enable pin i.e. pin 14 is
from high to low and that data appears serially on DOUT. This data is transmitted 4 times in
succession, it consists of different length of +ve and ve pulses. Two pins 15 and 16 are used for
setting oscillator frequency value of RC time constant here C is internally built and we need to
change R by arranging a Resistance between pins and that will determine oscillators frequency.
The internal oscillator frequency of decoders is 50 times the oscillator frequency of encoder.
In decoder IC we go for a value approximately equal to 51kohms one can chose other values
based on the graph.
The encoder begins with a c1-word transmission cycle upon receipt of a transmission enable TE.
This cycle will repeat itself as long as the transmission enable (TE or D8/D11) is held low. Once
the transmission enable returns high the encoder output completes its final cycle and then stops.

10.HARDWARE TESTING
93
10.1 CONTINUITY TEST:
In electronics, a continuity test is the checking of an electric circuit to see if current flows
(that it is in fact a complete circuit). A continuity test is performed by placing a small voltage
(wired in series with an LED or noise-producing component such as a piezoelectric speaker)
across the chosen path. If electron flow is inhibited by broken conductors, damaged components,
or excessive resistance, the circuit is "open".
Devices that can be used to perform continuity tests include multi meters which measure
current and specialized continuity testers which are cheaper, more basic devices, generally with a
simple light bulb that lights up when current flows.
An important application is the continuity test of a bundle of wires so as to find the two ends
belonging to a particular one of these wires; there will be a negligible resistance between the
"right" ends, and only between the "right" ends.
This test is the performed just after the hardware soldering and configuration has been
completed. This test aims at finding any electrical open paths in the circuit after the soldering.
Many a times, the electrical continuity in the circuit is lost due to improper soldering, wrong and
rough handling of the PCB, improper usage of the soldering iron, component failures and
presence of bugs in the circuit diagram. We use a multi meter to perform this test. We keep the
multi meter in buzzer mode and connect the ground terminal of the multi meter to the ground.
We connect both the terminals across the path that needs to be checked. If there is continuation
then you will hear the beep sound.
94
Then we apply this voltage to the power supply circuit. Note that we do this test without
microcontroller because if there is any excessive voltage, this may lead to damaging the
controller. We check for the input to the voltage regulator i.e., are we getting an input of 12v and
an output of 5v. This 5v output is given to the microcontrollers 40 th pin. Hence we check for the
voltage level at 40th pin. Similarly, we check for the other terminals for the required voltage. In
this way we can assure that the voltage at all the terminals is as per the requirement.
