A normally open pushbutton switch (51) delivers a positive input pulse to pin 4 of U1, triggering the IC into action. The output of U1 at pin 6 supplies base-drive current to a Darlington pair comprised of Q1 and Q2, activating K1. A 10-μF capacitor and any resistor value of from 1 to 10 MΩ can be used as the timing components.To use the circuit on an auto's headlights, connect the relay's normally open contacts across the car's headlight switch and press S1 to extend the on time. In connecting the circuit to control an acoperated lamp, turn off the ac power and connect the relay contacts in parallel with the lamp's power switch contacts. (View)

If you live in the frozen north, knowing your engine-block heater is working is a comfort. This device will let you know if yours is okay. Plug in PL1 to your power outlet. NE1 should light.Then, plug in the block heater. Depressing S1 should cause the indicator to get brighter. If not, your block heater might be open and inoperative. (View)

This circuit is a variable audio bandpass filter that has a low cutoff variable from about 25 Hz to 700 Hz and a high cutoff variable from 2.5 kHz to over 20 kHz. Rolloff is 12 dB/octave on both high and low ends. R2-a-b and RG-a-b are ganged potentiometers for setting lower and upper cutoff fre-quencies, respectively. (View)

A bootstrapped twin T notch filter in this circuit can yield an effective Q of up to 10. RS adjusts the feedback, hence the Q. Values of C1 and C2 can be changed to alter the frequency. RF is a fine-tune null control. (View)

The classic state-variable (two-integrator) filter (see Fig. A) is famous for its insensitivity to device parameter tolerances, as well as its ability to provide three simultaneous separate outputs: high pass, bandpass, aind low pass. These advantages often offset the fact that a quad operational amplifier is needed to implernent the circuit.A modification of the classic scheme that applies the input voltage via amplifier U,, rather than UD provides a bandpass output with a fixed peak gain that doesn't depend on the Q of the filter. It was found by using that conftguration, a fourth notch-filter output can be obtained if R1=R6 (see Fig. B).If R1=R6=R12 the gains of both the notch and bandpass outputs are unity, regardless of the Q factor, as determined by R3, R1, R2, R4, R5, and R6. The resonant (or cutoff) frequency is given by ω -1/RO×CO Depending on the capacitor values and frequency ω, resistance RO might also share the same monolithic network for maximum space economy. As with the classic configuration, reso-nant frequency ω can be electrically controlled by switching resistors RO, or by using analog multi-pliers in series with the integrators. (View)

The headlight flasher is nothing more than a 555 oscillator/timer that's configured as an astable multivibrator (oscillator). Its input is used to drive the gate of an IRF53IND hexFET, which, in turn, acts like an on/off switch, turning the lamp on and off at the oscillating frequency (1 Hz). (View)

This circuit counts turn signal flashes. At the end of about 70 flashes, a chime sounds to remind the driver to turn off the turn signal. By using various taps on U2, the period can be changed if de-sired. BZ1 is a buzzer or chime module. (View)

Only one channel of this circuit is shown. The other is practically a carbon copy.The input to the circuit, taken from your car radio's speaker output, is divided along two paths; in one path, a high-power divider network (consisting of R8 through R10) provides 4.5-Ω resistance to make the circuit's input impedance compatible with the output irrtpedance of the car radio. In the other path, the signal is fed to the input of U1 through resistor LR7, trimmer potentiometer R21, and capacitor C2. Together, R7 and R21 offer a minimum resistance of 27,000 Ω.Integrated circuit U1 (a TDA-2004 audio power amplifter) ampliftes the signal, which is then out-put at pins 8 and 10 and fed to the loudspeaker. Note: This amp is designed for use only with car radios whose speaker outputs are referenced to ground: do not use it with radios that have balanced outputs. (View)
