Low Forward Drop Rectifier schematic

Image
A TMOS power FET , Q1 , and LM393 comparator provide a high efficiency rectifier circuit. When Va exceeds Vb1 U1's output becomes high and Q1 conducts. Conversely, when Vb exceeds Va1, the comparator output becomes low and Q1 does not conduct. The Forward drop is determined by Q1's on resistance and current I. The MTH40N05 has an ON resistance of 0.028 Ω ; for I = 10 A , the forward drop is less than 0.3V .Typically , the best Schottky diodes do not even begin conducting below a few hundred mV.

Low cost Pump Controller Circuit Diagram

Image
This simple but effective circuit can be used to control water level in a container. The prototype is used to pump water out of a bucket that collects condensation from a home air-conditioning system. The design is based around a 555 timer (IC1). Although the timer in configured as a mono-stable, it lacks the usual timing capacitor from pin 6 to ground. Instead, a metal probe inserted in the water provides a current path to a second, grounded probe. When the water level in the container reaches a third ("high") probe, the trigger input (pin 3) is pulled low, switching the 555 output high and energizing the relay via transistor Q1. Circuit diagram:   Cheap Pump Controller Circuit Diagram Once the water level drops below the "low" probe, the threshold input (pin 6) swings high, switching the output (pin 3) low and the relay and pump off. The two 100kΩ pull-up resistors can be replaced with larger values if more sensitivity is required (eg, if the 555 doesn’t trigger)....

Power Resumption Alarm and Low Voltage Protector

Image
The circuit described here protects your electrical appliances like AC motors from damage due to low voltage at power-on. It remains standby without giving power to the load after power resumes. The load can be switched on only manually. This prevents damage to the device if it is 'on' when power resumes. unregulated power supply is derived from a 12V-0-12V, 300mA step-down transformer and rectifying diodes D2 and D3. The rectified DC is made ripple-free using capacitor C3. An audio/video indicator (piezobuzzer and LED3) is provided along with the power supply for power resumption. When power is switched on, capacitor C4 charges through the piezobuzzer and LED3, making both of them active. The piezobuzzer beeps and LED3 glows for a few seconds. When capacitor C4 is fully charged, the cathode of the LED becomes high inhibiting further flow of current through the buzzer. When the power is off, capacitor C4 discharges through resistor R9. The circuit uses IC CA3140 (IC1) as a volt...

Low Cost Dual Digital Dice

Image
This simple dual digital dice is based on three low-cost ICs, a few transistors and a handful of LEDs. IC1a & IC1b operate as an oscillator with a frequency of about 4kHz and this clocks IC2. The frequency of oscillation is not critical - it simply needs to be high enough to prevent cheating. IC2 and IC3 are 4516 binary counters, configured to count in binary from 1-6. A power-on reset is not required here since, if the initial state is outside the correct range, the counters will count into the correct range after a few clock pulses. Let's first consider how IC2 operates. When the counter reaches "7" (ie, 111), the AND gate formed by diodes D1 & D2 and the 47kO resistor applies a high to the PE pin (pin 1). Circuit diagram: Low-Cost Dual Digital Dice Circuit Diagram This presets the counter to 1 (ie, 001) and so PE goes low again. The counter then increments in the normal manner until it reaches "7" again. Counter IC3 operates in the same manner except ...

500W Low Cost 12V to 220V Inverter Circuit Diagram

Image
This is simple project of 500W Low Cost 12V to 220V Inverter Circuit Diagram. Note : This Circuit is using high voltage that is lethal. Please take appropriate precautions. Using this circuit you can convert the 12V dc in to the 220V Ac. In this circuit 4047 is use to generate the square wave of 50hz and amplify the current and then amplify the voltage by using the step transformer. How to calculate transformer rating. 500W Low Cost 12V to 220V Inverter Circuit Diagram . The basic formula is P=VI and between input output of the transformer we have Power input = Power output For example if we want a 220W output at 220V then we need 1A at the output. Then at the input we must have at least 18.3V at 12V because: 12V*18.3 = 220v*1 So you have to wind the step up transformer 12v to 220v but input winding must be capable to bear 20A.

Low Cost Calling Detector

Image
Here is simple and low-cost phone calling detector and nbsp electronic circuit Project. This electronic circuit using by powered 1.5V cell. Low-Cost Calling Detector Circuit Diagram: This circuit was designed to detect when a call is incoming in a cellular phone (even when the calling tone of the device is switched-off) by means of a flashing LED. The device must be placed a few centimeters from the cellular phone, so its sensor coil L1 can detect the field emitted by the phone receiver during an incoming call. The signal detected by the sensor coil is amplified by transistor Q1 and drives the monostable input pin of IC1. The IC's output voltage is doubled by C2 & D2 in order to drive the high-efficiency ultra-bright LED at a suitable peak-voltage. Notes: Stand-by current drawing is less than 200µA, therefore a power on/off switch is unnecessary. Sensitivity of this circuit depends on the sensor coil type. L1 can be made by winding 130 to 150 turns of 0.2 mm. enameled wire on a...

Ultra Low Drop Linear Regulator

Image
The circuit is a MOSFET based linear voltage regulator with a voltage drop of as low as 60 mV at 1 ampere. Drop of a fewer millivolts is possible with better MOSFETs having lower  RDS(on)  resistance. The circuit in Fig.1 uses 15V-0-15V secondary output from a step-down transformer and employs an n-channel MOSFET IRF540 to get the regulated 12V output from DC input, which could be as low as 12.06V. The gate drive voltage required for the MOSFET is generated using a voltage doubler circuit consisting of diodes D1 and D2 and capacitors C1 and C4. To turn the MOSFET fully on, the gate terminal should be around 10V above the source terminal which is connected to the output here. The voltage doubler feeds this voltage to the gate through resistor R1. Adjustable shunt regulator TL431 (IC2) is used here as an error amplifier, and it dynamically adjusts the gate voltage to maintain the regulation at the output. Circuit Fig.1 With adequate heatsink for the MOSFET, the circuit can provide up...

Now Low Cost Arduino Thermal Camera

Image
Do you still remember the H1N1 outbreak in Asia? The manifestations are usually flu-like symptoms which includes fever, cough and colds. The best way to detect fever when people are arriving from the affected areas was to use a thermal camera. These were widely used in Asian countries especially on airports but not all can afford one because it’s very expensive. We can all agree that this is the greatest deal ever! A thermo-cam which costs around 100$, now there is no reason it can’t be bought by even poor countries to help prevent the spread of the disease. Credit must be given to inventions like this because it’s really a big help.
