ELECTRONICS – Input Transducers Engineering Science – National 5

Introduction Input transducers are devices that convert a change in physical conditions into a change in resistance and/or voltage. For example a temperature sensor (thermistor) converts temperature into a change in resistance. Most input transducers (sensors) vary their resistance and usually a voltage divider is used to convert this to a varying voltage which is more useful. The voltage signal can be fed to other parts of the circuit, such as the input to a chip or a transistor switch. Examples of other input transducers Resistors

If R2 is much smaller than R1, Vo is small (because most of the voltage is across R1) If R2 is about the same as R1, Vo is about half Vs (because the voltage is shared about equally between R1 and R2) If R2 is much larger than R1, Vo is large (because most of the voltage is across R2) A voltage divider consists of two resistors R1 and R2 connected in series across a supply voltage Vs. The supply voltage is divided up between the two resistances to give an output voltage Vo which is the voltage across R2. This depends on the size of R2 relative to R1: Voltage Divider Vo = x Vs R2 (R1 + R2) To calculate the Output Voltage (Vo) we use the following formula:

The sensor is one of the resistances in the voltage divider. It can be at the top (R1) or at the bottom (R2), the choice is determined by when you want a large value for the output voltage Vo: Using an input transducer (sensor) in a voltage divider Put the sensor at the top (R1) if you want a large Vo when the sensor has a small resistance. Put the sensor at the bottom (R2) if you want a large Vo when the sensor has a large resistance.

Swapping over the resistor and sensor The resistor and sensor can be swapped over to invert the action of the voltage divider. For example an LDR has a high resistance when dark and a low resistance when brightly lit, so: If the LDR is at the top (near +Vs), Vo will be low in the dark and high in bright light. If the LDR is at the bottom (near 0V), Vo will be high in the dark and low in bright light.

The sensor and variable resistor can be swapped over if necessary. A variable resistor may be used in place of the fixed resistor R. It will enable you to adjust the output voltage Vo for a given resistance of the sensor. Using a variable resistor For example you can use a variable resistor to set the exact brightness level which makes a chip change state. The variable resistor value should be larger than the fixed resistor value. For finer control you can use a fixed resistor in series with the variable resistor. For example if a 10k fixed resistor is suitable you could replace it with a fixed 4.7k resistor in series with a 10k variable resistor, allowing you to adjust the resistance from 4.7k to 14.7k.
