LM378 24 V DC Proportional Motor Speed Control
National LM378 amplifier is used as a basis for economical proportional motor speed controller. This integrated circuit is able to deliver 700 mA continuous current for such DC motor applications such as antenna rotors or motor controlled valves. The basic of proportional control is as simple as amplifying the error signal to produce an action in such direction that minimize the error. This error signal is generated by a mechanically coupled potentiometer wired in a Wheatstone bridge R1-R2-P1-P2 configuration. The potentiometer P1 is coupled to the motor shaft to sense the actual speed of the motor, act as continuous feedback sensor. (Source: freecircuitdiagram)   (View)

Logarithmic Light Intensity Meter for Photography

Logarithmic Light Intensity Meter for Photography
Using LM10 amplifier and voltage reference, a light intensity meter featured with five decades dynamic range (which is suitable for photographic application) can be built. Please note that the linear to log conversion is not temperature compensated, and can make 40% error (a half stop in photography) at the worst point of conversion slope at ±18°C temperature drift. It should be noted that silicon photodiode is sensitive to near-infrared wavelength, while ordinary films are not. Filtering out the infrared using infrared-stop filter or using blue-enhanced photodiode will improve the performance.(Source: freecircuitdiagram)   (View)

555 IC Hysteresis for Dark Activated Relay

Published:2012/9/3 3:06:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: 555 IC , Hysteresis , Dark Activated Relay

555 IC Hysteresis for Dark Activated Relay
In the relay’s point of view, dark activated means the relay will be activated when the light intensity fall below a certain threshold. Without hysteresis, the relay will be activated and deactivated if the sensed brightness fall under or rise above a single point of darkness level. With hysteresis, the darkness level for activating and deactivating the relay will be different, and this solve the relay oscillation problem when the light intensity is swinging up and down around a single point of no hysteresis activation level. We can employ the hysteresis of a 555 IC to improve the sensing of a drop in light, since the internal 555 circuit has 1/3 and 2/3 supply voltage thresholds. We have to use a LDR or CDS cell with aout 2 to 8 k resistance at desired light level. At the dark, the resistance of the LDR will rise and activate the relay if the voltage at pin 2 reach 2/3 of supply voltage (8V). After the relay is activated, more light is needed to make the LDR decrease its resistance until the voltage at pin 2 falls below 1/3 supply voltage (4V). (Source: freecircuitdiagram)   (View)

Low Power Under- and Over-Voltage Monitor

Published:2012/9/3 3:03:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: Low Power, Under-voltage , Over-Voltage, Monitor

Low Power Under- and Over-Voltage Monitor
This voltage monitor has two threshold, VTH for undervoltage and VTH’ for overvoltage. Using the component values shown in the schematic diagram below, this circuit give 6V for VTH and 15V for VTH1. Above 6V, the LED indicator of this voltage monitor circuit will increase the flash rate until reach 15V. This circuit will stop flashing at voltage below 6V and above 15 volts since there will be no current flowing through C1. At threshold boundary, the output of LM10 will saturate to negative below VTH and saturate to positive above VTH’. To customize circuit we can select the resistors values according to chosen VTH and VTH’ using the following formula: VTH=[R4(R1+R2)Vref]/[R1(R3+R4)]; VTH’=[R4(R1+R2)Vref]/[R1(R3+R4)-R3(R1+R2)] Since the current consumption is very small (around 500uA), this voltage monitor will be suitable for various application demanding low cost solution, such as battery monitoring, small testing equipments, or power line indication.(Source: freecircuitdiagram)   (View)

LM10 Battery Voltage Threshold Indicator

Published:2012/9/3 2:47:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: Battery , Voltage Threshold, Indicator

LM10 Battery Voltage Threshold Indicator
A battery threshold indicator circuit shown in the schematic diagram below has current regulation mechanism in driving the LED. A sufficient current should be satisfied at the minimum voltage but no excessive current when the voltage is at the highest level. Balance pin (5) is used as the reference voltage for regulating the current. This pin generate 23 mV, which is internally temperature compensated. This battery voltage threshold indicator circuit overcomes the difficulties caused by voltage change across the diode biasing resistor. When the voltage on the reference-feedback terminal (8) drops below 200 mV, the reference output (1) rises to supply the feedback voltage to the op amp through D2, so the LED current drops to zero. The minimum threshold voltage for these circuits is basically imited by the bias voltage for the LEDs. Typically, this is 1.7V for red, 2V for green and 2.5V for yellow. These two circuits can be made to operate satisfactorily for threshold voltages as low as 2V if a red diode is used. (Source: freecircuitdiagram)   (View)

Sound-Controlled Relay
Sound-Controlled Relay

This is a relay circuit that detect the presence of sound to activate the relay. You can use this sound-controlled relay as voice operated switch, light control, toys, or any other application that can be controlled by a switch. Just replace the switch with this relay and now you have a sound-controlled device. This circuit uses a 741 operational amplifier to amplify the signal form microphone with the gain about 100 times. This circuit must use a dynamic circuit, or an electret microphone which has a battery inside. A condenser microphone can’t be used since this circuit has no biasing circuitry. After the signal from microphone is amplified, a rectifier-doubler circuit built with D1 and D2 convert the AC signal to DC. After rectified, the AC ripple is filtered by C4 capacitor to smooth the signal. Finally, a potentiometer R5 is used to adjust the sensitivity of this circuit, calibrating the point of how loud the sound would turn on the relay.

One Direction Motion Sensor

One Direction Motion Sensor
This is a one direction motion sensor circuit. This motion sensor circuit is used to detects an object passing in one direction, ignoring an object that going to opposite way. This circuit uses two sensors to identify the movement only in one direction. The basic principle of this circuit is simple, where one sensor is used to generate a short pulse, and the other sensor is used to block of turn of the gate. The phototransitors give high output on their collectors when there is an object blocking the light. By a 0.4uF differentiator capacitor, the interruption of light at Q2 sensor will produce short pulse at point C. But this short pulse will only appear at the output if a high signal appears at A. This condition will be satisfied if the light to Q1 is blocked by the object when the object is passing through Q2, means that the direction should be from Q1 to Q2.
