White LED Flood Lamp circuit

Published:2012/10/9 2:30:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: White LED, Flood Lamp

This White LED lights illuminates your porch with cool white light. The circuit is too simple and energy saving design. Its current consumption is practically nil but can provide light like a 20 watt CFL lamp. It is directly connected to AC lines to eliminate a bulk transformerUltra White LED Lamps are now replacing the fluorescent lamps due to its energy saving property and simplicity of design. White LED emits 1000 to 6000 MCD light and easily works on 3 volts at 20 mA. White LEDs are available as spot light and diffuse type versions. Different sizes like 3mm, 5mm and 10 mm varieties are now common. High watt single white LED is also available. White LEDs was introduced in 1990 which uses Indium Gallium Nitride (InGaN) as the semiconductor. White LED contains a blue chip with white inorganic Phosphor. When blue light strikes the phosphor, it emits white light. The circuit uses capacitive reactance to drop high volt AC to low volt AC. This reduces power loss due to heat dissipation. The value of the AC capacitor can be calculated using the formula X c= 1/ (2 π f C) where, Xc is the reactance in ohms, C the capacitance in farads and f the mains frequency. Xc = Vrms / I where Vrms is the input voltage and I is the current flowing through LEDs. The low volt AC (around 100 volts) dropped by C1 is then rectified by a full wave rectifier formed of D1-D4. Capacitor C2 act as a ripple remover and buffer. Zener diode ZD regulates DC to 69 volts and prevents excess reverse voltage across the LEDs during the negative half cycles.R1 is a must in the circuit to bleed the stored current from C1 when the circuit in unplugged. C1 can store more than 400 volts for many days if R1 is not connected. This can give a lethal shock. R2 reduces the inrush current.20 LEDs are connected as a string to obtain luminance equal to 20W CFL. Enclose the circuit in a shock proof case. If a reflector is provided behind the LEDs, it will give a flood light appearance. Important! Do not touch any points or trouble shoot when the circuit is connected to mains. Caution This is an AC powered circuit and can give fatal shock if handled carelessly. Do not construct the circuit unless you are competent to handle high volt circuits.

Delay On Circuit

Published:2012/10/9 2:29:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Delay On Circuit

Protect your LCD or Plasma TV with this tiny delay on circuit. The SMPS based power supply of these modern electronic devices is vulnerable to spikes in the mains line so it gives a time delay of one minute before applying power to the device. This prevents deleterious effects due to inrush current and spurious spikes at power on.Inrush current at power on or power resumes after a power failure can cause unexpected damage in SMPS based power supply of electronic devices. The spurious spike in the power supply when power resumes is due to heavy magnetic flux in the distribution transformer in the mains network. If a short delay is provided, such damages can be avoided. The circuit descried here is intended for this purpose. It gives power to the device only after one to two minutes of delay after the power is switched on. The circuit is a zener controlled switch. Capacitor C1 charges through R1 and VR. When the voltage in C1 rises above 3.1 volts, zener conducts to trigger T1. The relay connected to the collector of T1 energizes and power will be available through the common and Normally Open contacts of the relay. Relay remains latched as long as the voltage level in the mains is normal. Capacitor C2 keeps the base bias of T1 steady so that relay clicking can be avoided. Diode D1 prevents back e.m.f when T1 switches off. Red LED indicates the Relay On status. Delay time depends on the value of C1. Delay-On Circuit Diagram Power to the circuit can be derived from a standard 12 volt transformer with rectifier and smoothing capacitor. Use a socket to connect the TV as shown.   (View)

Here is a 1Hz pulse/frequency generator using the popular timer IC 555 which is wired as an Astable Multivibrator. The output pulses can be indicated visually by the LED. An Astable Multivibrator, often called a free-running Multivibrator, is a rectangular-wave generating circuit. Unlike the Monostable Multivibrator, this circuit does not require any external trigger to change the state of the output, hence the name free-running. This circuit can be used in applications that require clock pulses 1Hz Pulse Generator Circuit Diagram An Astable Multivibrator can be produced by adding resistors and a capacitor to the basic timer IC 555.The timing during which the output is either high or low is determined by the externally connected two resistors and a capacitor.Clock: A clock is simply a square wave i.e. alternate high & low states. Each alternate high-low forms a clock cycle with a specific frequency & duty cycle. Frequency is the number of cycles completed in 1 sec & duty cycle is the ratio of the time period of high state to the time period of the low state We can set the 555 to work at the desired frequency by selecting the right combination of resistances & capacitance. Frequency = 1.44 / {(R1 + 2R2) * C1} Also, 555 can produce waves with duty cycle else than the 50 % cycle. Duty Cycle = (R1 + R2) * 100/ (R1 + 2R2)where duty cycle= Ratio of time period when the output is 1 to the time period when the output is 0   (View)

Mock Flasher LED circuit

Published:2012/10/8 2:50:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Mock Flasher, LED

This simple Mock Flasher LED simulates the indicator of a sophisticated Alarm system. It can be placed in doors, gates and vehicles to confuse intruders. The circuit is too simple using a Unijunction transistor as an oscillator.Uni junction transistor (UJT) is an electronic semiconductor device that has only one junction. The UJT has three terminals: an emitter (E) and two bases (B1 and B2). The base is formed by lightly doped n-type bar of silicon. Two ohmic contacts B1 and B2 are attached at its ends. The emitter is of p-type and it is heavily doped. The resistance between B1 and B2, when the emitter is open-circuit is called inter-base resistance. The 2N2646 is the most commonly used version of the UJT. UJT 2N2646 UJT Pin Connection -Bottom View Working of UJT The UJT is biased with a positive voltage between the two bases. This causes a potential drop along the length of the device. When the emitter voltage is driven approximately one diode voltage above the voltage at the point where the P diffusion (emitter) is, current will begin to flow from the emitter into the base region. Because the base region is very lightly doped, the additional current (actually charges in the base region) causes conductivity modulation which reduces the resistance of the portion of the base between the emitter junction and the B2 terminal. This reduction in resistance means that the emitter junction is more forward biased, and so even more current is injected. Overall, the effect is a negative resistance at the emitter terminal. This is what makes the UJT useful, especially in simple oscillator circuits. Working of Mock Flasher LED UJT 2N 2646 is used as a simple oscillator with the oscillating components R1 and C2. The LED is connected between the base2 (B2) of the UJT and the ground. Resistor R2 restricts current through the UJT as well as LED. At power on, capacitor C2 charges through R1 and when it fully charges, emitter of UJT forward biases and current flows into the base. LED then lights. The discharge of C2 is followed by its charging again creating an oscillating cycle so that LED flashes. Mock Flasher LED Circuit Diagram   (View)

Light Sensitive Switch Circuit

Published:2012/10/8 2:49:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Light Sensitive, Switch

There are a wide range of applications for light sensitive switches: lighting, entrance door, automatic staircase, automatic opening of doors to the action of a ray of light, alarm systems, etc… Many of us are familiar with photosensitive switches made with a single transistor that is controlled by a photoresistor placed between the base and the recharger, depending on what is desired: normal functioning “closed” or normal “open” the switch.This configuration allows easy installation more complex, involving the use of operational amplifiers, especially those of type 741, which are very cheap. Another way to optodetect, less known, uses a bridge assembly, which operates on the principle that when the current is zero diagonal axle, means that the bridge is balanced. This last principle is used in the sensitive switch installation you will be presented next. Photocell is placed in a bridge circuit and a comparator is used as detector bridge balanced. The comparator’s output control thyristor through a transistor. In this circuit, protective measures must be taken because it is isolated from the network. Light Switch Circuit Diagram Power supply circuit is taken from the bridge rectifier D1…D4 is filtered and stabilized by R1, C1, and D5. The bridge circuit is difficult to identify in the given diagram, but it is made of R2 ….. R4, P1 and photoresist (LDR). IC1 is used in the comparator configuration and power level will be about 1.8 V when potential entry vice versa (negative) exceed that of the entry non vice versa. Resistance R5 conducts a hysteresis of about 1V to prevent thyristor to oscillate at T1 and threshold lighting. Switching point of the light sensitive switch may be adjusted from P1. With the potentiometer set the minimum (minimal resistance) lamp will light a crepuscular light. If you want more flexibility, replace P1 with one that has a value of 1 MΩ. If desired operation reverse position in the scheme of the photoresistor can be changed with the group P1/R4. LA1 lamp will be extinguished, in this case, after dark. Some practical advice: if you want to use higher power lamps then diodes D1 …. D4 need to be replaced with other type 1N5404 and thyristor TH1 will be equipped with a heat sink. With these changes, the circuit can control currents up to 3A. Maximum gate for TH1 is 250 µA, which means that you must use a very sensitive thyristor. It can use any type of photoresistor. Remember precautions to be taken due to lack of isolation mounting over the network. It is important that the entire circuit to be protected in a plastic box, of any shape, provided with a hole in the upper side, in order to allow to the photoresistance “to see”. Assure that the entry cable and the exit cable are fixed. This precautions will assure you from accidents. Light Sensitive Switch PCB Layout   (View)

LASER Door Alarm circuit

Published:2012/10/8 2:49:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: LASER, Door, Alarm

This laser door alarm is based on the interruption of Laser beam. A low cost Laser pointer is used as the source of light beam. When somebody breaks the laser path, the alarm will be generated for few seconds. Laser Door Alarm Circuit Diagram The laser door alarm circuit has two sections. The laser transmitter is a laser pointer readily available. It should be powered with 3 volt DC supply and fixed on one side of the door frame. The receiver has a Phototransistor at the front end. L14F1 NPN Darlington phototransistor is used as the laser sensor. IC1 is used as a voltage comparator with its inverting input tied to a potential divider R2-R3. So that the inverting input is kept at half supply voltage. The non inverting input receives a variable voltage based on the conduction of T1. The receiver should be fixed on the opposite door frame and should be properly aligned to the laser beam. Normally the laser beam illuminates the face of phototransistor and it conducts. This keeps the voltage at pin 3 lower than pin 2 of IC1. As a result, output of comparator remains low. LED and Buzzer remain off in this state. When a person crosses the door, laser beam breaks and T1 cease to conduct. Collector voltage of T1 rises and voltage at pin 3 of comparator increases and its output becomes high. This activates LED and buzzer. Capacitor C1 keeps the base of T2 high for few seconds even after the output of IC1 becomes low again. C2 gives current to the buzzer for few seconds even after T2 turns off. Caution: This circuit uses harmful laser rays. Do not look into the Laser pointer. It should not be placed in places accessible to children.   (View)

PC Fan Controller circuit

Published:2012/10/8 2:48:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: PC Fan, Controller

This PC fan controller circuit is designed with discrete components and is used to control 12 V fans that have a current consumption lower than 200 mA. With the components values presented in the circuit diagram, the voltage won’t drop below 7 V. If the fan won’t start at 250C then temporarily replace the temperature sensor KTY10 with a 1.8 kΩ resistor and reduce the value of R7. If the PC fan has a speed too high then increase the R7 value.T1 and T2 transistors compare the fixed potentional from R3-R4 common point with the temperature dependent potentional of R1-R2 common point. It may be useful to connect a 25 kΩ potentiometer instead of R2 and to adjust it until the PC fan is at the correct speed and to measure its resistance and then replace it with a fix resistor with the same value. PC Fan Controller Circuit Diagram Place the temperature sensor in the warm air of the fan. When the PC is connected the speed rotation of the fan will be pretty high because of C1 but will decrease at a minimum value. Measure with a thermometer the air temperature close to the sensor. When the temperature reaches 350C the pc fan controller circuit will start to work. If this won’t happen modify the value of R2 or adjust a potentiometer placed instead of R2. When the temperature increases so will the rotation speed of the PC fan. The maximum speed will be lower than the one obtained without the control circuit.   (View)
