Due to the low duty cycle of flashing LED, the average current drain is 1 mA or less. The NE555 will trigger the LED on when the moni-tored voltage falls to 12 volts. The ratio of R1 to R2 only needs to be changed if it is desired to change the voltage point at which the LED is triggered. (View)

The precision voltage-monitor chip con-tains a temperature -compensated voltage ref-erence. R1 divides down the battery voltage to match the built-in reference voltage of IC1 (1.15 volts). When the voltage at pin 3 falls below 1.15 volts, pin 4 supplies a constant current of 7 mA to drive a small LED. About 0.2 LED) volt of hysteresis is added with R2. Without hysteresis, the LED could flicker on and off when the monitored voltage varies around the set point, as might be the case on voice peaks during receive. (View)

The simple modulator stage will accommodate most common LEDs. By adjusting the potentiometer, the bias ofthe transistor is varied until the LED is at its half output point.Then, audio will cause it to vary above and below this point. The purpose of R1 is to limit the current through the LED to a safe level and the purpose of the 10 ohm resistor is to allow a portion of the modulating signal to be observed on a scope. (View)

This circuit uses two transistors and one IC (555 timer IC) to produce a pulsating ultrasonic frequency. Transistors Q1 and Q2 are connected in a direct-coupled oscillator. The frequency of that oscillator is set by capacitor C1. The oscillator output is taken from the emitter of Q2 to pin 7 of IC1. Transistor Q1 is an npn transistor, and Q2 is a pnp transistor. The signal of pin 7 on IC1 causes the output signal appearing ot) pin 3 to be modulated or varied by the audio frequency developed by Q1 and Q2. The IC itself is connected as a stable multivibrator with a frequency that is determined by C3. Capacitor C3 sets the basic frequency to be well above the human hearing range (ultrasonic). The combined modulated ultrasonic frequency appears on pin 3 of IC1, where it is coupled by capacitor C4 to the piezoelectric transducer. (View)

This circuit puts out a pulse when an object on the conveyor belt blocks the light source. The light source keeps the phototran-istor turned on. This produces a high-logic-level voltage at the Schmitt-trigger inverter and a TTL-compatible low logic level at pin 5 of the monostable. When an object blocks the light, TIL81 turns off the Schmitt-trigger inverter to triggers the one shot. (View)

The sine-wave generator starts with an 8-MHz signal and divides it by eight to obtain 1 MHz at C1 (IC1's 2-MHz and 500-kHz outputs can serve as alternate drive signals). Qllevel-shifts the 1-MHz pulses so that they can drive the bipolar circuitry necessary for producing a bipolar output. Syn-chronous counter IC2 divides 1 MHz by 256 to give the desired output frequency (3906 Hz), and IC3 filters the harmonic frequencies.The filter's clock is taken from the first divide-by-2 tap of IC2 to assure a 50% duty cycle. IC2 fur-ther divides this signal by 128 to ensure that the filter's input signal (1 MHz/256) falls within the flat portion of the filter response.The output of the switched-capacitor filter resembles a sampled sine wave. It can be smoothed by building a first- or second-order low-pass filter around the otherwise uncommitted output op amp. (View)

A 741 op amp is employed as a voltage comparator. The noninverting input is con-nected to zener reference source. Reference voltage is 5.IV. R2 is adjusted so that the vol-tage at the inverting input is half the supply voltage. When supply is higher than 10.2V, the LED will not light. When the supply falls just fractionally below the 10.2V level, the IC in-verting input will be slightly negative of the noninverting input, and the output will swing fully positive. The LED will light, indicating that the supply voltage has fallen to the preset threshold level. The LED can be made to light at other voltages by adjusting R2. (View)

The circuit disconnects the battery from the load when output voltage falls below a pre-set level. C1 charges through R1 and turns on Q2. Collector current flows through R2 tuming Q1 on and battery is connected to the load. When the output voltage falls below a point set by RV1, Q2 turns off, Q1 tums off and further discharge of the battery is prevented. (View)
