Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the correctness of integrated circuit (IC) connections in a breadboard project, specifically comparing the connections made to pinout diagrams for the CA3130 op-amp and the NE555 timer. Participants explore issues related to circuit functionality and component connections.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions whether their connections to the CA3130 IC match the pinout diagram, noting specific connections to capacitors and resistors.
  • Another participant comments on the circuit's intended function, suggesting that the op-amp's high gain and bandwidth limitations may affect performance, particularly with UHF signals.
  • A later reply indicates that the circuit is now functioning correctly after adjustments were made.
  • There is a note of confusion regarding the purpose of the circuit, with a participant highlighting that this question has been asked in multiple threads without a response.
  • One participant asserts that they have read the datasheets and understand the connections, implying confidence in their setup.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing levels of understanding and success with the circuit. While one participant reports that the circuit is now working, there remains uncertainty about the overall purpose and effectiveness of the design, with some questions still unanswered.

Contextual Notes

There are unresolved questions regarding the circuit's intended function and the appropriateness of certain component connections, particularly concerning the op-amp's performance at UHF frequencies.

connectiong IC in a circuit ??

I am working on a project ,

[PLAIN]http://www.2electronic.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/cellphone-detector.jpg

i have done everything right but nothing is happening when i am running this project on breadboard,
i have connected IC in the same way as it is defined in above circuit,

[URL]http://circuits.datasheetdir.com/28/CA3130-pinout.jpg[/URL]

1 and 8 of IC is connected to the Capacitor 6 and 2 is connected to the resistor and so on,
i want to know that the IC connection defined in the circit is same as it pin out diagram ??
i mean,
in the pin out diagram 1 is OFFSET Null and 8 is Strobe, i have connected capacitor in 1 and 8 , am i doing correct ??and for the NE555 Timer, i made the connections as defined in the circuit...
is the connections are ok comparing with its pin out diagram ?
because in pin out diagram 1 is GND and in the ciruict 1 is grounded

if i am giving the same connetion in my breadboard as in cirucuit will my circuit work ?

What is it supposed to do?

The input is bypassed with a 0.22uF capacitor and the opamp is operating at very high gain, so it would have minimum bandwidth and very little sensitivity.

The antenna suggests a UHF signal, but the receiver has no chance of working at UHF.

At least remove C3.
 


thanks a lot...cirucuit is working now :)

you have created 2 treads on this project, in both of the you were asked what is the cct supposed to do ?
we are all still waiting for your response :)

my other thread is different from this thread, i read the datasheet of both ICs and understands the connections :)
