Abstract

1,274,449. Transistor switching circuits. GUNSONS SORTEX Ltd. 7 Oct., 1970 [8 Oct., 1969], No. 49402/62. Heading H3T. [Also in Division G4] When a photodiode 20 (Fig. 4) in sorting apparatus (see Division G4) detects radiation a leakage current flows from a power supply 99 into the virtual earth, established at the photodiode anode by field effect transistors 84, 86, amplify 92 and feedback elements 96, 98. This results in a negative signal at the output of amplifier 92, which after amplification, drives switching amplifier 95 into saturation at one end of its dynamic range. When no radiation is detected the amplifier 95 is saturated at the other end of its range. Compensation for the zero signal offset voltage is effected by means of potentiometer 100.
