555 IC Timed Beeper Circuit Diagram

This is a simple timed beeper circuit diagram of beeper using 555 timer. This circuit can be employed to energize lights, horn, or other signaling device at any desired interval when the mercury switch is triggered. Since the current handling capability of mercury switch is not so high, an SCR is used to handle current drawn by the 555 timer circuit. Chose the SCR  current rating of 500mA at minimum to safely drive the 555 IC and the relay. The relay is not needed when the current drawn by alarm is less than 200mA, in this case the alarm can be installed to directly replace the relay coil.  Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit.

Over voltage Protection Circuit Diagram

This is a Over voltage Protection Circuit Diagram. A silicon-controlled rectifier is installed in parallel with the 12-V line and connected to a normally-closed 12-V relay, K1. The SCRs gate circuit is used to sample the applied voltage. As long as the applied voltage stays below a given value, SCR1 remains off and Kls contacts remain closed, thereby supplying power to the load. 

When the source voltage rises above 12 V, sufficient current is applied to the gate of SCR1 to trigger it into conduction. The trigger point of SCR1 is dependent on the setting of R1. Once SCR1 is triggered (activating the relay), K1s contacts open, halting current flow to the load.

Build a Bridge Circuit Diagram With One Power Supply

This is simple Bridge Circuit Diagram With One Power Supply. For systems with only one power supply, two op amps act as instrumentation and buffer amps. The OPA111 AM buffers the reference mode of the bridge and applies that voltage to the instrumentation amps ref terminal. Output is taken between the amplifier outputs to exclude the fixed output offset. 

The additional op amp creates a bridge error of 2, where IB=bias current of op amp and R is the resistance of one leg of the bridge.

POWER CONVERTER TOPOLOGY ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

POWER CONVERTER TOPOLOGY and MOSFET SELECTION FOR 48-V TELECOM APLICATIONS ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

Output voltages are frequently 5V and below with 3.3V probably the most common requirement, and 2.5V gaining in popularity. If a processor is on the card, voltages as low as 1.3V are not unlikely. One common approach is to regulate a distributed power bus, say the 5V rail, and then use non-isolated DC/DC converters to generate lower voltages. With the tendency away from 5V, the 3.3V rail is beginning to serve as the distributed bus, although, from the power supply designer’s perspective, this is not the most of desirable situations.

Fairchild has recently introduced a family of high voltage MOSFETs ranging from 80- to 200-V drain voltage specifications. This application note will provide information helpful in the proper selection of FETs for primary side switches – available in various types of 48V power converters.

9 Volt 2 Amp PSU Circuit

A simple 9 Volt 2 amp supply using a single IC regulator.

The circuit will work without the extra components, but for reverse polarity protection a 1N5400 diode is provided at the input, extra smoothing being provided by C1. The output stage includes C2 for extra filtering, if powering a logic circuit than a 100nF capacitor is also desirable to remove any high frequency switching noise.

Circuit diagram:

Notes:

There is little to be said about this circuit. All the work is done by the regulator. The 78S09 can deliver up to 2 amps continuous output whilst maintaining a low noise and very well regulated supply.

Automatic Heat Detector Circuit

This circuit uses a complementary pair comprising NPN metallic transistor T1 (BC109) and pnp germanium transistor T2 (AC188) to detect heat (due to outbreak of fire, etc) in the vicinity and energise a siren. The collector of transistor T1 is connected to the base of transistor T2, while the collector of transistor T2 is connected to relay RL1.

The second part of the circuit comprises popular IC UM3561 (a siren and machine-gun sound generator IC), which can produce the sound of a fire-brigade siren. Pin numbers 5 and 6 of the IC are connected to the +3V supply when the relay is in energised state, whereas pin 2 is grounded. A resistor (R2) connected across pins 7 and 8 is used to fix the frequency of the inbuilt oscillator.

Circuit Diagram

Automatic Heat Detector Circuit

Automatic Heat Detector Circuit Diagram

 Automatic Heat Detector

The output is available from pin 3. Two transistors BC147 (T3) and BEL187 (T4) are connected in Darlington configuration to amplify the sound from UM3561. Resistor R4 in series with a 3V zener is used to provide the 3V supply to UM3561 when the relay is in energised state. LED1, connected in series with 68-ohm resistor R1 across resistor R4, glows when the siren is on. To test the working of the circuit, bring a burning matchstick close to transistor T1 (BC109), which causes the resistance of its emitter-collector junction to go low due to a rise in temperature and it starts conducting. Simultaneously, transistor T2 also conducts because its base is connected to the collector of transistor T1. As a result, relay RL1 energizes and switches on the siren circuit to produce loud sound of a fire-brigade siren.

Note.

  • We have added a table to enable readers to obtain all possible sound effects by returning pins 1 and 2 as suggested in the table.

Build a Telephone Record Control Circuit Diagram

This simple Telephone Record Control Circuit Diagram will allow you to connect any tape recorder that has a mic and remote input to a phone line and automatically record both sides of a conversation when ever the phone is in use. You will need to take a couple of voltage readings before connecting the circuit. First determine the polarity of your phone line and connect it to the circuit as shown and then determine the polarity of the remote input and connect it to the circuit.

Circuit operation is as follows. When the phone is on hook the voltage across the phone line is about 48volts dc. When the phone is off hook the voltage will drop to below 10volts dc. When the line voltage is at 48volts the FET is off which causes Q2 and Q3 to be off. When the phone is picked up the FET turns on along with Q2 and Q3 which turns your recorder on. The tape recorder must be in the record mode at all times. As you can see the power source for the circuit is the phone line.

LED 12 Volt Lead Acid Battery Meter Circuit

In the circuit below, a quad voltage comparator (LM339) is used as a simple bar graph meter to indicate the charge condition of a 12 volt, lead acid battery. A 5 volt reference voltage is connected to each of the (+) inputs of the four comparators and the (-) inputs are connected to successive points along a voltage divider. The LEDs will illuminate when the voltage at the negative (-) input exceeds the reference voltage. Calibration can be done by adjusting the 2K potentiometer so that all four LEDs illuminate when the battery voltage is 12.7 volts, indicating full charge with no load on the battery. At 11.7 volts, the LEDs should be off indicating a dead battery. Each LED represents an approximate 25% change in charge condition or 300 millivolts, so that 3 LEDs indicate 75%, 2 LEDs indicate 50%, etc. The actual voltages will depend on temperature conditions and battery type, wet cell, gel cell etc.

Simple AM Transmitter Circuit

Circuit Diagram: 
Description
There are not many AM transmitters that are easier to build than this one because the inductor is not tapped and has a single winding. There is no need to wind the inductor as it is a readily available RF choke (eg, Jaycar Cat LF-1536). To make the circuit as small as possible, the conventional tuning capacitor has been dispensed with and fixed 220pF capacitors used instead. To tune it to a particular frequency, reduce one or both of the 220pF capacitors to raise the frequency or add capacitance in parallel to lower the frequency. Q1 is biased with a 1MO resistor to give a high input impedance and this allows the use of a crystal ear piece as a low cost microphone.

Lights Control for Model Cars Circuit Diagram

The author gave his partner a radio controlled (RC) model car as a gif t. She found it a lot of fun, but thought that adding realistic lights would be a definite improvement. So the author went back to his shed, plugged in his soldering iron, and set to work equipping the car with realistic indicators, headlights, tail lights and brake lights.

Lights Control for Model Cars Circuit Diagram

The basic idea was to tap into the signal from the radio control receiver and, with a bit of help from a microcontroller, simulate indicators using flashing yellow LEDs and brake lights using red LEDs. Further red LEDs are used for the tail lights, and white LEDs for the headlights. Connectors JP4 and JP5 (channel 0) are wired in parallel, as are JP6 and JP7 (channel 1), allowing the circuit to be inserted into the servo control cables for the steering and drive motor respectively. The ATtiny45 micro-controller takes power from the radio receiver via diode D1. T1 and T2 buffer the servo signals to protect IC1’s inputs from damage. 
IC1 analyses the PWM servo signals and gen-erates suitable outputs to switch the LEDs via the driver transistors. T3 drives the two left indicators (yellow), T4 the two right indica-tors, and T5 the brake LEDs (red). The red tail lights (JP2-8 and JP2-8) and the white head-lights (JP2-9 and JP2-10) are lit continuously. The brake lights are driven with a full 20 mA, so that they are noticeably brighter than the tail lights, which only receive 5 mA. If you wish to combine the functions of tail light and brake light, saving t wo red LEDs, sim-ply connect pin 10 of JP2 to pin 14 and pin 12 to pin 16. Then connect the two combined brake/tail LEDs either at JP2-5 and JP2-6 or at JP2-7 and JP2-8.

JP3 is provided to allow the use of a separate lighting supply. This can either be connected to an additional four-cell battery pack or to the main supply for the drive motor. The val-ues given for resistors R8 to R17 are suitable for use with a 4.8 V supply. JP2 can take the form of a 2x10 header.

As usual the sof t ware is available as a free download from the Elektor web pages accom-panying this article[1], and ready-programmed microcontrollers are also available. The microcontroller must be taught what servo signals correspond to left and right turns, and to full throttle and full braking. First connect the fin-ished circuit to the radio control electronics in the car, making sure everything is switched of f. Fit jumper JP1 to enable configuration mode, switch on the radio control transmit-ter, set all proportional controls to their cen-tre positions, and then switch on the receiver. The indicator LEDs should first flash on both sides. Then the car will indicate left for 3 s: during this time quickly turn the steering on the radio control transmitter fully to the left and the throt tle to full reverse (maximum braking).

Hold the controls in this position until the car starts to indicate right. Then set the controls to their opposite extremes and hold them there until both sides flash again. Now, if the car has an internal combustion engine (and so cannot go in reverse), keep the throttle control on full; if the car has an electric motor, set the throttle to full reverse. Hold this position while both sides are flashing. Configuration is now complete and JP1 can be removed. If you make a mistake during the configuration process, start again from the beginning.

Simple AM Transmitter Circuit

AM
transmitter circuit that can transmit your audios to your backyard.This
circuit is designed with limited the power output to match the FCC
regulations and still produces enough amplitude modulation of voice in
the medium wave band to satisfy your personal needs. You will love
this. 

 
The circuit has two parts , an audio amplifier and a radio frequency oscillator. The oscillator
is built around Q1 (BC109) and related components. The tank circuit
with inductance L1 and capacitance VC1 is tunable in the range of 500kHz
to 1600KHz. 


These
components can be easily obtained from your old medium wave radio. Q1
is provided with regenerative feedback by connecting the base and
collector of Q1 to opposite ends of the tank circuit. C2 ,the 1nF capacitance
, couples signals from the base to the top of L1, and C4 the 100pF
capacitance ensures that the oscillation is transfered from collector,
to the emitter, and through the internal base emitter resistance of the
transistor Q2 (BC 109) , back to the base again. 

The
resistor R7 has a vital part in this circuit. It ensures that the
oscillation will not be shunted to ground trough the very low value
internal emitter resistance, re of Q1(BC 109), and also increases the
input impedance such that the modulation signal will not be shunted to
ground.

Q2
is wired as a common emitter RF amplifier, C5 decouples the emitter
resistance and unleashes full gain of this stage. The microphone can be
electret condenser microphone and the amount of AM modulation can be
adjusted by the 4.7 K variable resistanceR5.

230Vac Lamp Toggle Switch Circuit

Compact, transformerless circuitry No relays employed

Due to the low current drawing, the circuit can be supplied from 230Vac mains without a transformer. Supply voltage is reduced to 12Vdc by means of C1 reactance, a two diode rectifier cell D1 & D2 and Zener diode D3. IC1A, IC1B, R2, R3 and C3 form a reliable bounce-free toggle switch operated by P1. R4 and C4, wired to pin #6 of IC1B reset the circuit (lamp off) when power supply is applied. IC1C and IC1D wired in parallel act as a buffer, driving the Gate of the Triac through R5.

Note:

  • he circuit can be wired permanently to the mains supply as current drain is negligible.
  • Due to transformerless design there is no heat generation.
  • Low Gate-current Triacs are recommended.
  • Obviously, other appliances can be powered in place of a lamp, provided their power dissipation does not exceed about 400W @ 230V
  • 110-120Vac operation is easily obtained by simply changing C1 value to 680nF 250V. No further changes are necessary.
  • In some cases, e.g. when the controlled device is far from the toggle switch, a pilot LED could be necessary for monitoring purposes. If so, disconnect pin #10 of IC1C from pin #11 of IC1D and wire a LED and its 1K series current limiting resistor across pin #10 of IC1C and negative supply.
  • Warning! The circuit is connected to 230Vac mains, so some parts in the circuit board are subjected to lethal potential! Avoid touching the circuit when plugged in and enclose it in a plastic box.
