LIGHT_SENSITIVE_OSCILLATOR

Published:2009/7/3 2:39:00 Author:May

Uses 555 timer connected so frequency increases directly with intensity of light. Free-running frequency and duty cycle of timer operating in astable mode are controlled by two resistors and one capacitor. R3 sets upper frequency limit at about 6.5 kHz, and dark resistance of photocell R2 sets lower limit at about 1 Hz. Loudspeaker provides audio output, while LED flashes for visual indication when frequency goes below about 12 Hz.Applications include detection of lightning flashes, use as optical radar for blind, and use as sunrise alarm.-C.

Published:2009/7/2 20:18:00 Author:May

Published:2009/7/2 9:15:00 Author:May

Series-mode oscillator requires no tuned circuit, gives choice of sine or square output, and has good frequency and mode stability. Works nicely with troublesome FT241 crystals. If any crystal fails to start reliably, increase R1 to 270 ohms and R2 to 3.3K. For squire-wave operation, C1 is 1-μF nonelectrolytic. Omit C1 for sine-wave operation; harmonic output is then quite low, whh second harmonic typically -30 dB. Output is about 1.5-VRMS sine wave or 4-V square wave.-R.

Parallel-mode low-frequency oscillator makes excellent BFO for 455 kHz. If oscillator will not start, reduce value of feedback resistor RF. Increasing RF reduces harmonic output, but oscillator may then take up to 20 s to reach full output.
