Nowadays the batteries are gaining more and more power, being the only components that fail to provide energy for portable electronic devices. The evolution is rapid, leading manufacturers electronic equipment to attempt to minimize the consumption of their products so that they can operate for several hours using simple batteries trade. In spite of the efforts of manufacturers, the device will absorb a zero power not yet invented. Thus, both small and if the current device is mathematically certain that at some point, after a few hours, days or ethdomades, the battery-drain . Automatic Switch for Batteries Circuit diagram The purpose of the circuit will describe below, is to keep 'alive' batteries for the maximum time, minimizing unnecessary consumption. Taking a brief look at the circuit, you notice that the few parts that are can be integrated into any device powered by a battery of 9 V. The main trait is that allows current to flow to the load for a minute, since you pre...

Triangular Wave Oscillator Circuit Diagram . This design resulted from the need for a partial replacement of the well-known 8038 chip, which is no longer in production and there fore hardly obtainable. An existing design for driving an LVDT sensor (Linear Variable Differential Transformer), where the 8038 was used as a variable sine wave oscillator, had to be modernised. It may have been possible to replace the 8038 with an Exar 2206, except that this chip couldn’t be used with the supply voltage used. For this reason we looked for a replacement using standard components, which should always be available. Triangular Wave Oscillator Circuit Diagram In this circuit two opamps from a TL074 (IC1.A and B) are used to generate a triangular wave, which can be set to a wide range of frequencies using P1. The following differential amplifier using T1 and T2 is configured in such a way that the triangular waveform is converted...

This programmable timer is usefu for domestic, commercial as well as industrial applications. It automatically turns the appliance on/off after a preset time. The time period can be varied from 8 seconds to 2 hours with the help of rotary switches S2 and S3. The circuit works in two modes: off mode and cyclic mode. Slide switch S4 is used for mode selection. In the off mode, the appliance turns on after a preset time (set by rotary switch S2), remains on for another preset time (set by rotary switch S3) and then turns off. In the cyclic mode, this process repeats again and again. The circuit is built around three quad two-input NAND gate ICs CD4011 (IC1, IC3 and IC5), two 14-bit binary ripple counters CD4020 (IC2 and IC4) and a relay driver transistor (T1). It works off a 12V DC, 500mA power supply. You can also power the circuit from mains by using a 12V DC, 500mA adaptor in place of the 12V DC power supply. Let’s assume that you want an appliance to turn on after two minutes and keep...

Crystal Radio Audio Amplifier Circuit Here is a simple audio amplifier application a TL431 blow regulator. The amplifier will accommodate room-filling aggregate from an accustomed clear radio outfitted with a long-wire antenna and acceptable ground. The chip is agnate in complication to a simple one-transistor radio but the achievement is far superior. The TL431 is accessible in a TO-92 amalgamation and it looks like an accustomed transistor so your hobbyist accompany will be afflicted by the aggregate you are accepting with alone one transistor! The amplifier may be acclimated for added projects, too. Higher impedance headphones and speakers may additionally be used. An earphone from an old blast will accord boisterous aggregate and abundant sensitivity! The 68 ohm resistor may be added to several hundred ohms back application aerial impedance earphones to save array power.

Forget about flea power A-V links. This one has an output of 0.5W for a range of about 200 meters using simple "whip" antennas. You will have seen adverts for devices of this type - they've become quite popular in recent years. Operating on a frequency of 2.4GHz (that's 2,400,000,000Hz for the uninitiated!), most have about 10mW or so output and while they work well over a short range, the range is limited by the low power. This design has much higher power - around 0.5W output, in fact. So as you might expect, the range is very significantly extended. With the simple coax cable "whip" antennas shown here, the range is reliably 200m or more. But if you use a simple dipole antenna, you could expect much more range - maybe 10 times or more. Perhaps a word or two about how and why this is possible is in order. It is sometimes difficult for people to understand how changing antennas can give longer range. The simplest analogy I can think of is using your own vo...

Description The LED circuit below is an example of using 25 white LEDs in series connected to the 120VAC line. It can be modified for more or less LEDs by adjusting the resistor value. The exact resistance will depend on the particular LEDs used. But working out the resistor value is a bit complicated since current will not continously flow through the resistor. In operation, the output of the bridge rectifier will be about 120 DC RMS or 170 volts peak. If we use 25 white LEDs with a forward voltage of 3 volts each, the total LED voltage will be 75 volts. The peak resistor voltage will be 170- 75 or 95 volts but the resistor voltage will not be continous since the input must rise above 75 before any current flows. This (dead time) represents about 26 degrees of the 90 degree half wave rectified cycle, (asin) 75/170 = (asin) .44 = 26 degrees. This means the resistor will conduct during 90-26 = 64 degrees, or about 71 percent of the time. Next we can work out the peak LED current to...

Phonographs are gradually becoming a rarity. Most of them have had to yield to more advanced systems, such as CD players and recorders or (portable) MiniDisc player/recorders. This trend is recognized by manufacturers of audio installations, which means that the traditional phono input is missing on increasingly more systems. Hi-fi enthusiasts who want make digital versions of their existing collections of phonograph records on a CD or MD, discover that it is no longer possible to connect a phonograph to the system. Circuit diagram : A Simple MD Catridge Preamplifier Circuit Diagram However, with a limited amount of circuitry, it is possible to adapt the line input of a modern amplifier or recorder so that it can handle the low-level signals generated by the magnetodynamic cartridge of a phonograph. Of course, the circuit has to provide the well-known RIAA correction that must be used with these cartridges. The preamplifier shown here performs the job using only one opamp, four resisto...

By Matt Warman The more I’ve used HTC’s flagship One, the more I’ve liked the phone that many believe is the best Android device on the market. After initial problems with battery life, it’s been improved to become the only really premium Android design available – certainly the only one that feels sullied if you put a case on it. Lovely in the hand, its metal and glass design is complemented by a good camera and a great screen. While Samsung’s Galaxy S4 has far more features, the One’s metal beats its plastic and the Sense software feels coherent. There’s not a lot in it, but HTC is still a real competitor to the South Korean behemoth. Now, like Samsung, HTC has produced a Mini version of its flagship device. Like the S4 Mini, the One Mini has a slower processor, a 1.4Ghz dual core, less storage at just 16GB and a lower resolution display. But it retains Blinkfeed, the social aggregator that combines all your news and social feeds into one place, the Boomsound speakers, and the ...

This circuit senses AC audio voltage supplied to the car-radio loudspeakers and displays it as power using a LED bar graph, achieving at the same time an attractive visual effect. It is designed to cover common car-radio output power ranges, but can easily be modified to suit different needs. It is supplied from the 12 V car electrical system and is suitable for classical CC (Capacitor-coupled) as well as BTL (Bridge Tied Load) types of amplifier with no changes to the circuitry or connections at all. In fact, only the meaning of the LEDs changes — with BTL, the LED increments equal four times the CC value on the same load. CC-type amplifiers have the loudspeaker connected via a DC-decoupling capacitor at the output and ground (negative). BTL-type amplifiers, on the other hand, have the loudspeaker DC-coupled and ‘stretched’ between two equal, parallel, but phase-reversed outputs.
