The bridge excitation circuit of digital pressure signal conditioner MAX1458

Published:2012/9/25 21:46:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: bridge excitation , digital pressure, signal conditioner

It uses DAC3 output to change the size of the sensor excitation current IBR and achieve fine full-scale calibration. IISRC is reference current which is set by RISRC and the voltage of pin 9. V1 and V2 form a mirror current source, and the current gain is 14 times which enables the excitation current IBR = 14IISRC. The IBR programming range is 0.1 ~ 2mA. The on-off state of analog switches S1, S2 is governed by the configuration register. Obviously, when the full-scale output voltage changes, DAC3 can compensate bridge output voltage by changing BR, thereby correcting the errors of the full scale. DAC4 is used to correct the error of full scale temperature coefficient.   (View)

Car Battery Monitor 12 Volt

Published:2012/9/25 21:48:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Car Battery, Monitor, 12 Volt

Here is an interesting Car Battery Monitor circuit of a low power electronic dc voltmeter circuit that can be used with car electric systems that run on 12 volt batteries. The voltmeter is an expanded scale type that indicates small voltage steps over the 10 to 16 volt range for 12 volt batteries.At the heart of the circuit is a ubiquitous dot-bar volt meter LM3914N (IC1). This IC is operated in the expanded-scale mode so that the circuit responds in the 10-16V range. IC1 outputs a steady voltage on pin 7 from the internal voltage reference. This is fed via voltage dividers VR2and R2 to the internal reference input pins(4&8) to set the range that the meter is sensitive to. The measured voltage is fed in on pin 5 via the voltage divider consisting of R1 and VR1. This divider scales the input voltage down to a range that is useful to IC1. Car Battery Monitor schematic for 12V batteries It is possible to set the meter to read equal steps across a variety of upper and lower voltages. Different colored LEDs can be used for the voltage level indicators(D1-D10). It will be necessary to have an adjustable regulated DC lab power supply and a good quality digital volt meter (DVM) to perform the calibration. Connect the external volt meter across pins 6 and 4 of IC1 and adjust VR2 for a reading of 1.2 volts. Center the settings of VR1 and VR3. If the span between the end points of VR1 is 4.5V, the circuit is ready to use as a 10.5 to 15V scale battery monitor.   (View)

Cashbox or Locker Alarm

Published:2012/9/25 21:48:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Cashbox, Locker, Alarm circuit

The locker alarm circuit or cashbox watcher can be used to protect a cashbox/locker from unauthorised access. This tried and tested design forms a fool-proof,remotely operated alarm/electromagnetic relay driver that receives its control signal from a standard reed switch. The circuit works off a 12V dc power supply.After construction, enclose the whole circuit, including the power supply (preferably with a backup facility) in a tamper proof metallic box and keep it in a secure location. For optimum safety, use key lock type switches for power (S3) and reset(S2) control. Now open your cashbox/locker and fix a strong permanent magnet in its door and the reed switch(S1) in the door frame so that when door is closed, the magnet is very near to S1. Now connect the terminals of reed switch to the input of the main circuit using a strong two-core cable.Operation of the locker alarm circuit, built around CD4001(IC1) is straight forward. When switch S3 is turned to ON state,the 12V supply is extended to the whole circuit.Normally, when cashbox/locker is closed, the reed switch is also closed due to the presence of bar magnet and hence the the output (at pin 10) of IC1 (Quad 2-input NOR gate pack) is in logic low state.When the cashbox/locker is opened, reed switch also opened and the output state changes to logic high level to enable the bistable latch realised using next two NOR gates (Final NOR gate is not used here). As a result, driver transistor (T1) activates to drive the output load. A ready made 12V electronic hooter or a standard 12V electromagnetic relay can be used as the output load. Push-to-on type switch (S2) is the reset switch for the bistable circuit. Locker Alarm Circuit Diagram/Schematic   (View)

Adjustable Timer circuit 1-10 minute

Published:2012/9/25 21:47:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Adjustable, Timer circuit, 1-10 minute

The Adjustable Timer circuit starts timing when switched on. The green LED lights to show that timing is in progress. When the time period is over the green LED turns off, the red LED turns on and the bleeper sounds. The time period is set by adjusting the variable resistor. It can be adjusted from 1 to 10 minutes (approximately) with the parts shown in the diagram. You can mark the times on a scale drawn on the box.Please note that the range of time periods is only approximate. With perfect components the maximum time period should be 4? minutes, but this is typically extended to about 10 minutes because the 220μF timing capacitor slowly leaks charge. This is a problem with all electrolytic capacitors, but some leak more than others. In addition the actual value of electrolytic capacitors can vary by as much as ±30% of their rated value.

This is an LDR based Emergency Lampthat turns on a High watt White LED when there is darkness in the room. It can be used as a simple emergency lamp in the child’s room to avoid the panic situation in the event a sudden power failure.It gives ample light in the room.The circuit is too simple so that it can be enclosed in a small box. A 12 volt miniature battery is used to power the circuit. Two transistors T1 and T2 are used as electronic switches to turn on / off the white LED. When there is sufficient light in the room, LDR conducts so that the base of the PNP transistor T1becomes high and it remains off. T2 also remains off since its base is grounded. In this state, White LED remains off. When the light falling on the LDR decreases, it cease to conduct and T1 forward bias providing base current to T2. It then turns on and White LED switches on. Mini Emergency Light Circuit Schematic White LED used in the circuit is 1 watt High bright Luxeon LED. Since 1 watt White LED consumes around 300 milli ampere current, it is better to switch off the lamp after few minutes to conserve battery power.   (View)

Tilt Sensor Alarm Circuit

Published:2012/9/25 21:45:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Tilt, Sensor Alarm

Ultra simple circuit of the tilt sensor alarm presented here can be fabricated using readily available inexpensive components. The circuit is a true transistor based design. Home made Tilt sensor for this circuit is an ordinary little glass/plastic bottle with two metal needles inserted through its cap, and a small quantity of water inside.You can also try your own ideas to make the tilt sensor. A 9V alkaline battery is enough for powering the whole circuit. Tilt Sensor Circuit Schematic Usually, transistor T1 is in inactive state. When the sensor assembly is tilted, both needles inside the sensor (bottle) are short circuited by the water and a positive voltage is available at the base of T1 and it becomes active. Activation of T1 causes the activation of next transistors T2 and T3. After this, T2 supplies constant bias for T1 to make it latched and T3 triggers the SCR(T4) which inturn energises the active piezo-sounder(BZ1). Once activated the circuit can be deactivated by depressing the power/reset switch S1. Preset pot P1 is deliberately added here to adjust the circuit sensitivity. This may become necessary if you are trying a different (readymade) tilt sensor. Similarly,SCR(T4) and piezosounder (BZ1) may be replaced with near equivalent parts. Resistor R3 (100-150 Ohm) is optional.   (View)

LED Night Lamp circuit

Published:2012/9/25 21:44:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: LED, Night, Lamp

The design of the LED night lamp circuit (bedroom light) is similar to that of many commercially available products. However, the light circuit does not use any kind of bulky and noisy stepdown transformers, but a capacitive potential divider is inserted in a simple manner to provide a constant current for driving the light source. Here a high-efficiency, low current blue LED is used as the light source. The design is safe, simple and stable! Night Lamp Circuit Schematic When input power (AC 220V) is available, capacitor C2 is charged through C1 and R2 and bridge rectifier assembly D1-D4. Zener diode D5 limits the voltage across C2 to a safe value of near 15V. This low voltage dc supply is then fed to the LED (D6) via current limiting resistor R3. When the input supply is removed, LED stays on unchanged for a short time and then diminishes gradually. No instant darkness when the supply is switched off! After construction, enclose the circuit in a small plastic box. Drill a 5mm hole in the centre of the enclosure and fit the LED in a suitable LED holder in the 5mm hole. Finally fit a supply input socket and, optionally an on/off switch at the rear/side of the enclosure. WARNING! Great care should be taken when working with this led night lamp circuit since it is connected directly to the fatal mains supply.   (View)

Line Following Robot Sensor

Published:2012/9/25 21:44:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Line Following, Robot, Sensor

This Line Following Robot sensor or surface scanner for robots is a very simple, stamp-sized, short range (5-10mm) Infrared proximity detector wired around a standard reflective opto-sensor CNY70(IC1). In some disciplines, a line following robot or an electronic toy vehicle go along a predrawn black line on a white surface. In such devices, a surface scanner, pointed at the surface is used to align the right track.IC1 contains an infrared LED and a phototransistor. The LED emit invisible infrared light on the track and the phototransistor works as a receiver. Usually, black colored surface reflects less light than white surface and more current will flow through the phototransistor when it is above a white surface. When a reflection is detected (IR light falls on the phototransistor) a current flows through R2 to ground which generates a voltage drop at the base of T1 to make it conduct. As a result, transistor T2 start conducting and the visual indicator LED(D1) lights up. Capacitor C2 works as a mini buffer.After construction and installation, the scanner needs to be calibrated. Initially set P1 to its mechanical centre position and place the robot above the white portion of the track. Now slowly turn P1 to get a good response from D1. After this, fine tune P1 to reduce false detection caused by external light sources. Also ensure that the LED remains in off condition when the sensor module is on the blackarea. Repeat the process until the correct calibration is achieved. The red color LED (D1) is only a visual indicator. You can add a suitable (5V) reed relay in parallel with D1-R4 wiring after suitable alterations to brake/stop/redirect the robot. Similarly, the High to low (H-L) transition at the collector of T2 can be used as a signal to control the logic blocks of the robot. Resistor R1 determines the operating current of the IRLED inside IC1. The sensing ability largely depends on the reflective properties of the markings on the track and the strength of the light output from IC1. Line Follower Robot Scanner Schematic   (View)

We are in a digital era! Now we can add some intelligence to our doors and gates without too much investments. Just assemble this little door timer circuit built around a few cheap and simple components and link it to any door/gate as per your requirement and taste. If the door/gate remains in open condition for a prefixed time an acoustic sounder starts beeping to raise an alert. Enough?At the heart of the circuit is CD4060, which is a 14-stage ripple-carry binary counter/divider plus oscillator. Here CD4060 is configured as an independent timer. In standy by state, ie when switch S1 is in closed condition, the reset terminal ( pin12) of CD4060 is at a high level and the timer is in inactive mode. When the door is opened, S1 also opened as per the mechanical arrangement and CD4060 gets activated.After a short period,transistor T1 conducts to power the active piezo-sounder. Red LED in parallel with the piezo-buzzer also lights up instantly. When the door(and hence S1) is closed, circuit returns to standby state automatically.The open door alarm circuit works off 9V (PP3/6F22) battery supply. Assemble the circuit on a small PCB and enclose in a plastic box of appropriate size. Mount the switch S1 in the door/gate frame and connect it to the circuit through external cable. If possible use a key-lock type switch for power on/off function (S2). Note: Preset delay time can be changed by changing the value of timing resistor R3. SK1 is an optimised connection terminal for attaching a standard 6-9Volt electromagnetic relay. Door Timer Circuit Schematic   (View)

The Motion Sensor Switch circuit is a motion sensor controlled automatic water sprinkler but you can easily add an alarm/light function too. Before beginning the construction contact your nearest electronics component vendor and procure a readymade box-type Passive Infrared (PIR) Motion Sensor unit. Such units, packed in a compact enclosure with power input and relay output terminals are widely available. In prototype, an unbranded (Made in China) PIR Motion sensor with the following specifications are used. Detection Range:10Meter Maximum Supply Input:12V DC, <500mA Relay Output :Common(C),Normally Closed(N/C),Normally Opened(N/O) Relay ON time: 15 Secs (Not Adjustable) Now install the PIR module hanging from a 3 metre high mast (to cover 10 metre radius area) and connect its supply and relay terminals to our finished and enclosed circuit, observing right polarity. A 4-core screened cable can be used for this interconnection. Power the circuit from a regulated 12VDC adaptor/solar power box. Whenever the PIR module detect movement of a live body its relay output toggles and the switching mosfet (T1) in the circuit is switched to on via resistor R1 and related parts. As as result, the EM relay at the output of T1 is activated and the electric sprinkler gets its supply through the relay (RLY1) contacts. This contacts (or spare contacts) can also be used to activate a high-power warning alarm. Motion Sensor Switch Circuit Schematic   (View)

Electronic GateKeeper circuit

Published:2012/9/25 21:41:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Electronic GateKeeper

This circuit can do the job of a Gatekeeper and intimates you if someone passes through the gate. The alarm can be an AC bell or a Lamp. The alarm turns on for 1 minute and stops if the light barrier is restored again.Infrared rays are used as the light barrier to activate the alarm system based on a Phototransistor. The high gain NPN Darlington phototransistor L14F1 conducts when its face is illuminated with IR rays. This brings its collector to ground potential. IC1 is used as a simple voltage comparator with a potential divider R2 and R3 connected to its inverting input. So that half supply voltage (6 volts) is available to its inverting input. Its non inverting input is connected to the collector of the phototransistor. Normally the output of IC1 will be low since T1 is conducting. When the IR beam breaks, the collector of T1 becomes high and the voltage at the non inverting input of IC1 increases above the voltage at the inverting input and output becomes high. This triggers the relay driver T2 and relay turns on. Capacitor C1 gives a short delay at the non inverting input of IC1 to prevent false triggering. Capacitor C2 keeps the base of T2 high for a short time even if the IR rays restore. Electronic Gate Keeper Schematics   (View)

Vibration Sensor/Detector circuit

Published:2012/9/25 21:37:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Vibration Sensor，Detector

With the help of a simple ceramic piezo-electric detector it is possible to assemble an interesting and useful Impact sensor unit,which can be used to detect impact and vibration on doors, showcases, windows etc. The shock sensor (Ceramic piezo-electric detector) uses a “unimorph” diaphram, which consists of a piezo-electric ceramic disk laminated to a metal disk. The sensor supplies a voltage proportional to the acceleration of the impact or vibration, for example 40mV/G ie output is near 2V for 60G impact.Here a low voltage, low current Impact sensor unit is realised using a standard ceramic piezo-electric detector which drives a monostable multivibrator (IC1) circuit to activate a npn silicon transistor (T1). Open collector output of this transistor switch can be interfaced to an external alarm/switch circuit for further processing. Since current consumption of the circuit is very low (from 5 to 6 mA only) any common 3V button cell can be used to power the sensor unit.When an impact is sensed, the monostable drives the transistor switch to ON , for a finite duration determined by the incircuit values of RC timing components R3 and C2. The M74HC123 (IC1) is an high speed DUAL retriggerable CMOS MONOSTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR (MMV) fabricated with silicon gate C2MOS technology, with all inputs protected against static discharge and transient excess voltage. There are two trigger inputs, negative edge and positive edge. Here, only one monostable part with positive edge triggering (pin 2) is used. After triggering, the output maintains the monostable state for the time period determined by the external resistor R3 and capacitor C2. Vibration/Impact Sensor Circuit Schematic   (View)
