Proximity Detector Circuit – LC Tuned IC CS209

Last Updated on November 17, 2024 by Admin Leave a Comment

The post details an LC tuned proximity detector circuit, using a LC tank circuits and the IC CS209A

This is a straightforward proximity switch circuit using IC CS209. The CS209A is actually a bipolar monolithic integrated circuit for use in metal detection / proximity detection purposes.

The CS209A consists of an oscillator set up through an external parallel resonance tank and a feedback resistor hooked up between pins 2 and 3.

The inner oscillator runs close to the Resonance Frequency of the tank circuit. Whenever a metallic object is introduced towards the inductance, the amplitude of the voltage over the reservoir capacitor progressively starts to drop.

Once the oscillation volume gets to a particular degree, the IC triggers the outputs to toggle states. The potentiometer joined across pins 1 and 8 is tweaked to some quantity of detection range. The higher the resistance, the higher the distance from your trigger level.

The detection range could be enhanced simply by using a high Q coil. The absolute maximum feasible range is One inch having a well-tuned circuit.

The only hard part for this LC tuned proximity detector circuit would be to set the circuit to some specific range.In order to accomplish the installing of a metal part at the preferred distance from the coil (with 1 inch) and adapt the resistance Rf to ensure that one of the outputs (Pin 4 or 5) flips state.

About Admin

Hey friends, Thanks a bunch for stopping by this site! I am an engineer with a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Telecommunication. One of my passions is gathering information from all sorts of electronics books and tutorials. I then take that information and compile it into a language that is super easy to understand. My goal is to make those complex electronics circuit concepts and technical terms much more accessible for all the new and budding electronics engineers out there. I can also design customized circuit diagrams as required by the users.
If you have any questions related to this field, please do not hesitate to drop a comment! I am always here and ready to help you out with any queries you might have. I cannot wait to hear from you!
