There are many ultrasonic pest repellent devices available on the market but a major drawback is that their power output is low and their effectiveness suffers. This electronic pest repellent generates powerful ultrasonic signals to repel pests.In addition to the ultrasonic frequency oscillator built with CD4047, separate push-pull power amplifier (with 2N3055 or TIP31C) and transformer are used to boost ultrasonic signals. The output of the power amplifier is coupled to a tweeter through output transformer X1, which is wound over ferrite core (UU or CC core). Primary winding consists of 150 turns of 20 SWG while the secondary winding is 40 turns of 24 SWG wire. Adjust potentiometer VR1 for maximum effectiveness.This circuit has not been tested. Caution! This is a powerful sonic pest repellent circuit so use it only in outdoor places. Do not use this ultrasonic pest repeller near babies or animal pets. Pest repellent circuit diagram   (View)

Electronic Mail Box circuit

Published:2012/10/10 1:47:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Electronic Mail Box

This Electronic Mail Box circuit generates music intimating the arrival of mail……..The circuit uses a high bright White LED and an LDR to detect the arrival of mail in the box. IC NE 555 is designed as a Schmitt trigger by shorting its trigger pin 2 and threshold pin 6. When the light from the LED illuminates the face of LDR, it conducts taking the pin 6 of IC low. Output pin 3 then remains low inhibiting the buzzer.When a mail falls between the LED and LDR, light from LED will be blocked and the LDR becomes non conducting. This makes the threshold pin of IC high and its output goes high. The high output makes buzzer active and music will be heard. The music stops only when the letter is removed from the box. Keep LED and LDR at the opposite sides of the box.   (View)

The Art of Zener Regulation

Published:2012/10/9 2:42:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Zener

To get precise voltage to a circuit, the simplest and easy way is to use a Zener diode.It uses the reverse breakdown voltage characteristics to maintain a fixed voltage across it The Art of Zener Regulation D.Mohan kumar Zener diode ZD is used to generate a regulated DC output. A Zener diode is designed to operate in the reverse breakdown region. If a silicon diode is reverse biased, a point reached where its reverse current suddenly increases. The voltage at which this occurs is known as “Avalanche or Zener “value of the diode. Zener diodes are specially made to exploit the avalanche effect for use in ‘Reference voltage ‘regulators. A zener diode can be used to generate a fixed voltage by passing a limited current through it using the series resistor. The zener output voltage is not seriously affected by the resistor and the output remains as a stable reference voltage. But the limiting resistor is important, without which the zener diode will be destroyed. Even if the supply voltage varies, the series resistor will take up any excess voltage. The value of the series resistor can be calculated using the formula R = Vin – Vz / Iz Where Vin is the input voltage, Vz output voltage and Iz current through the zenerIn most circuits, Iz is kept as low as 5mA. If the supply voltage is 18V, the voltage that is to be dropped across R1 to get 12V output is 6volts. If the maximum zener current allowed is 100 mA, then R1 will pass the maximum desired output current plus 5 mA. So the value of R1 appears as R1 = 18 – 12 / 105 mA = 6 / 105 x 1000 = 57 Ohms Power dissipation Power rating of the Zener is also an important factor to be considered while selecting the Zener diode. According to the formula P = IV. P is the power in watts, I current in Amps and V, the voltage. So the maximum power dissipation that can be allowed in a Zener is the Zener voltage multiplied by the current flowing through it. For example, if a 12V Zener passes 12 V DC and 100 mA current, its power dissipation will be 1.2 Watts. So a Zener diode rated 1.3W should be used. As a rule of thumb, a minimum of 10% of the total current should flow the zener leaving the rest available to the load. By increasing the value of the series resistor, it is easy to reduce the current flowing through the zener but allow a minimum of 5 to 10 mA current through the zener. Then only it will reach the avalanche state to give output voltage.   (View)
