The low number of components required with the ZN409CE, together with its low power consumption, make this integrated circuit ideal for use in model aircraft, boats and cars where space, weight and battery life are at a premium. The amplifier will operate over a wide range of repitition rates and pulse widths and is therefore suitable for the majority of systems. The ZN409CE can also be used in motor speed control circuits.

The input circuit is a Schmitt trigger allowing servo operation independent of edge speed, as obtained from the receiver-decoder. Output from the Schmitt trigger is fed to the deadband and monostable circuits. The deadband circuit prvides a prgrammable area of insensitivity to input pulse in order to eliminate hunting and overshoot. Dynamic feedback can be 2 used to reduce the width of the deadband to acceptable levels, and to maintain correct servo operation. The monostable circuits provide the inputs to the pulse comparison circuit which determines direction and amount of drive required to reach the new position. The output drive is also controlled by the pulse expansion circuit. This circuit ensures that a stationary motor will start rotating without drawing full stall current. This gives much improved battery life. ZN409CE 3 ZN409CE HEADQUARTERS OPERATIONS GEC PLESSEY SEMICONDUCTORS Cheney Manor, Swindon, Wiltshire SN2 2QW, United Kingdom.
