Upgrade Your USB Hub

Problems can arise with USB hubs that are powered from a PC when gadgets plugged into them draw too much current. This is often the case with devices fitted with USB cables that are too long or too thin, causing voltage drop. There’s no need to scrap your old USB hub, however, if you upgrade it using this little circuit and an external power supply. Just cut the 5-V power wire of the USB cable inside the hub and solder a diode (D1) in the pass-through direction. Now connect the 5 V wire from the external power supply to the cathode of this diode. D1 prevents any current from the power supply from flowing back into the PC.

Light Gate with Counter

The circuit described here counts the number of times that an infrared beam is interrupted. It could be used to count the number of people entering a room, for instance, or how often a ball or another object passes through an opening (handy for playing shuffleboard). The heart of the circuit consists of you guessed it a light gate! Diode D1 is an IR diode that normally illuminates IR transistor T1. The light falling on T1 causes it to conduct to a certain extent. The resulting voltage on the collector of T1 should be just low enough to prevent the following transistor (T2) from conducting. This voltage can be adjusted within certain limits using P1.
Circuit diagram :
Light Gate with Counter-Circuit Diagram
Light Gate with Counter Circuit Diagram
As soon as an object comes between D1 and T1, the light shining on T1 will be partially or fully blocked, causing the IR transistor to conduct less current. As a result, the voltage on its collector will increase, producing a brief rise in the voltage on the base of T2. This will cause T2 to conduct and generate a negative edge at IC1. This negative edge will trigger the monostable multivibrator, which will then hold the output signal on pin 3 ‘high’ for a certain length of time (in this case, one second). Atthis point, two things will occur. First, a buzzer will be energised by the output of IC1 and produce a tone for approximately one second. When the buzzer stops, a negative edge will be applied to the clock input of IC2, causing the counter in IC2 to be incremented by 1. IC2 is conveniently equipped with an internal binary-to-BCD decoder, so its outputs only have to be buffered by IC3 and T3 to allow the state of the counter to be shown on the 7-segment display. Switch S1 can be used to reset the counter to zero. 

If a one-second interval does not suit your wishes, you can modify the values of R3 or C1 to adjust the time. Increasing the value of R3 lengthens the interval, and decreasing it naturally shortens the interval. The same is true of C1. When building the circuit, make sure that T1 is well illuminated by the light from D1, while at the same time ensuring that T1 ‘sees’ as little ambient light as possible. This can best be done by fitting T1 in a small tube that is precisely aimed toward D1. The longer the tube, the less ambient light will reach T1. The sensitivity of the circuit can be adjusted using P1.

Solar Powered SLA Battery Maintenance

This circuit used to be designed to ‘baby-sit’ SLA (sealed lead-acid or ‘gel’) batteries the use of freely available solar energy. SLA batteries suffer from quite high interior vitality loss which shouldn't be normally a problem except you go on vacations and disconnect them from their trickle current charger. In some instances, the absence of trickle charging present may cause SLA batteries to move utterly flat within a few weeks. The circuit proven here is intended to stop this from happening. Two 3-volt solar panels, every shunted via a diode to viapass them when no electrical energy is generated, energy a MAX762 step-up voltage converter IC. 

Circuit diagram:
Solar Powered SLA Battery Maintenance Circuit Diagram

The ‘762 is the 15-volt-out model of the most likely extra familiar MAX761 (12 V out) and is used right here to lift 6 V to 15 V.C1 and C2 are decoupling capacitors that suppress high and low frequency spurious parts produced by way of the switch-mode regulator IC. Using Schottky diode D3, power is saved in inductor L1 in the form of a magnetic container. When pin 7 of IC1 is open-circuited through the interior switching signal, the saved vitality is diverted to the 15-volt output of the circuit. The V+ (sense) enter of the MAX762, pin 8, is used to deal with the output voltage at 15 V. C4 and C5 serve to maintain the ripple on the output voltage as small as that which you could imagine. R1, LED D4 and pushbutton S1 will let you check the presence of the 15-V output voltage.

D5 and D6 scale back the 15-volts to about thirteen.6 V which is a regularly quoted nominal standby trickle charging voltage for SLA batteries. This corresponds neatly with the IC’s maximum, interiorly restricted, output current of about one hundred twenty mA. The worth of inductor L1 is not crucial — 22 µH or 47 µH will also work superb. The coil needs to be rated at 1 A although in view of the height current thru it. The switching frequency is ready 300 kHz. A advice for a pragmatic coil is sort M from the WEPD sequence equipped through Würth (www.we-online.com). Remarkably, Würth provide one-off inductors to particular person consumers. At the time of writing, it was once imaginable, under sure stipulations, to acquire patterns, or order small portions, of the MAX762 IC during the Maxim website online at www.maxim-ic.com.

4 Bit Analogue to Digital Converter

The operation of the converter is based on the weighted adding and transferring of the analogue input levels and the digital output levels. It consists of comparators and resistors. In theory, the number of bits is unlimited, but each bit needs a comparator and several coupling resistors. The diagram shows a 4-bit version. The value of the resistors must meet the following criteria:
  • R1:R2 = 1:2;
  • R3:R4:R5 = 1:2:4;
  • R6:R7:R8:R9 = 1:2:4:8.
The linearity of the converter depends on the degree of precision of the value of the resistors with respect to the resolution of the converter, and on the accuracy of the threshold voltage of the comparators. This threshold level must be equal, or nearly so, to half the supply voltage. Moreover, the comparators must have as low an output resistance as possible and as high an input resistance with respect to the load resistors as feasible. Any deviation from these requirements affects the linearity of the converter adversely.

4-Bit Analogue to Digital Converter Circuit diagram :



If the value of the resistors is not too low, the use of inverters with an FET (field-effect transistor) input leads to a near-ideal situation. In the present converter, complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) inverters are used, which, in spite of their low gain, give a reasonably good performance. If standard comparators are used, take into account the output voltage range and make sure that the potential at their non-inverting inputs is set to half the supply voltage. If high accuracy is a must, comparators Type TLC3074 or similar should be used. This type has a totem-pole output.

The non-inverting inputs should be interlinked and connected to the tap of a a divider consisting of two 10 kΩ resistors across the supply lines. It is essential that the converter is driven by a low-resistance source. If necessary, this can be arranged via a suitable op amp input buffer. The converter draws a current not exceeding 5 mA.

1W BTL Audio Amplifier

The TDA8581(T) from Philips Semiconductors is a 1-watt Bridge Tied Load (BTL) audio power amplifier capable of delivering 1 watt output power into an 8-Wload at THD (total harmonic distortion) of 10% and using a 5V power supply.

The schematic shown here combines the functional diagram of the TDA8551 with its typical application circuit. The gain of the amplifier can be set by the digital volume control input. At the highest volume setting, the gain is 20 dB. Using the MODE pin the device can be switched to one of three modes: standby (MODE level between Vp and Vp–0.5 V), muted (MODE level between 1 V and Vp–1.4 V) or normal (MODE level less than 0.5 V). The TDA8551 is protected by an internal thermal shutdown protection mechanism. The total voltage loss for both MOS transistors in the complementary output stage is less than 1 V.

1 Watt BTL Audio Amplifier Circuit diagram:

1 Watt BTL Audio Amplifier Circuit Diagram


Using a 5-V supply and an 8-W loudspeaker, an output power of 1 watt can be delivered. The volume control has an attenuation range of between 0 dB and 80 dB in 64 steps set by the 3-state level at the UP/DOWN pin: floating: volume remains unchanged; negative pulses: decrease volume; positive pulses: increase volume Each pulse at he Up/DOWN pin causes a change in gain of 80/64 = 1.25 dB (typical value).

When the supply voltage is first connected, the attenuator is set to 40 dB (low volume), so the gain of the total amplifier is then –20 dB. Some positive pulses have to be applied to the UP/DOWN pin to achieve listening volume. The graph shows the THD as a function of output power. The maximum quiescent current consumption of the amplifier is specified at 10 mA, to which should be added the current resulting from the output offset voltage divided by the load impedance.

Regulated 24 Watt Broad Spectrum LED


This project involves constructing an energy efficient broad spectrum LED lamp system. The lamp is useful for indoor reflective room lighting. It has a broad color spectrum that more closely approximates the light of the sun when compared to fluorescent bulbs and white-only LEDs. The light level is regulated and the light that is produced does not flicker. The six differently colored LED stars, made by LedEngin, Inc., are rated at 5 watts (nominal). The LED array and associated current regulator consume 1 amp at 24VDC (24 Watts). NEVER stare directly at this lamp when it is running at full operating power, it is DANGEROUSLY BRIGHT.

Regulated 24 Watt Broad Spectrum LED Circuit diagram : 



With the LEDs shown, the combined color of the lamp has a pinkish white hue. The 5 Watt ratings of the LEDs are not precise, the white, blue and green LEDs consume about 4W and the lower voltage red, orange and deep red LEDs consume about 3W. The current regulator keeps the LED brightness constant and insures that the LED series string never draws more than 1 amp of current.

The project has also been coined "Bold as LED" in reference to the Jimi Hendrix song "Bold as Love" which has the lyric: "My yellow in this case is not so mellow"

Specifications:


  • Nominal operating power: 24 Watts (24V DC at 1 Amp)
  • LED power consumption above regulation point: 18.6 Watts
  • Maximum operating voltage: 28V DC
  • Minimum voltage for regulated light: 23V DC
  • Leds produce light down to 11V
  • Deep Red LED voltage: 2.55V
  • Red LED voltage: 2.37V
  • Amber LED voltage: 2.60V
  • Green LED voltage: 3.92V
  • Blue LED voltage: 3.56V
  • White LED voltage: 3.7V
  • Voltage across regulator when current becomes regulated: 4.2V

Theory:

The lamp is wired as a current loop which includes the power supply, the LED series string and the 1 amp current regulator circuit. The LM317K and 1.2 ohm 5 Watt resistor act as a current regulator that limits the loop current to 1 Amp. During regulation, there will always be 1.2V across the 1.2 ohm resistor. The current regulator insures that the LEDs always run at their maximum brightness, but not so bright that they burn out. A 100uF electrolytic capacitor bypasses the DC power input to the device and a 100nF monoblock capacitor bypasses the LM317K input.

Construction:

The LEDs and current regulator circuit were mounted on a 3" x 8" chunk of 1/8" aluminum stock. The LM317K regulator and LED heat sinks were bolted to the chassis directly, heat sink grease was used on the regulator, the heat sinks and the six LEDs. Connecting the LM317K directly to the aluminum plate makes the plate electrically hot at 1.2V, the plate should not be allowed to come into contact with any live conductors. By using a few more parts, the LM317 can be mounted with an insulator and plastic shoulder washers for electrical isolation from the mounting plate.

The LEDs come mounted on their own small star-shaped aluminum substrates, these were attached to the aluminum plate using two 7/16" 4-40 screws and nuts per LED. A drop of silicone heat sink grease should be applied to the center of each LED star when it is mounted to the plate for heat conduction. It is important to use insulating plastic washers on the top side of the LED stars to prevent electrical contact with head of the screw. The LED stars were soldered together using short pieces of #20 tinned wire after being mounted on the plate. It is necessary to use a fair amount of heat to solder the contacts, a 200/240W soldering gun did the job. Be very careful not to melt the lenses on the LEDs, the LEDs cost around $10 each. The positive and negative leads of the LED series string were connected back to the current reglator circuitry using #20 wire covered with teflon insulation.

The initial mechanical arrangement did not pass the "rule of thumb" test, which says that if a semiconductor is too hot to hold your thumb on, it will not live a long life. Two large aluminum heat sinks were bolted to the back of the aluminum plate and seem to be sufficient to keep the lamp operating at a reasonable temperature. The LED array produces more heat than the LM317K.

Use:

Connect this circuit to a 24VDC power supply or other power source such as a solar-charged lead acid battery. Be sure to observe the correct polarity. Look away from the LEDs and apply power. Again, do not stare directly at the LEDs, they are bright enough to harm your vision. A switch-mode power supply rated at 24VDC and 1 Amp or more is probably the most energy-efficient way to power this device from line power.

Parts:


  • 1x LM317K T03 case 1.5A adjustable voltage regulator
  • 1x 1.2 ohm 5W resistor (or 2x 2.4 ohm 2W resistors in parallel)
  • 1x 100uF 35V or higher electrolytic capacitor

Programming The Propeller IC

Parallax, well known for its successful Basic Stamp IC, has recently introduced the Propeller: a new microcontroller with a certain difference. It packs no less than eight 32-bit processors (referred to as COGs in Propeller jargon) into a single package with only 40 pins. That design takes genuine simultaneous multiprocessing possible, and the sophisticated internal structure of the device makes it relatively easy to implement video and signal-processing applications. The Propeller can be programmed in assembly language or the high-level Spin language. The processor and the programming tools were developed entirely in-house by Parallax, with the hardware being designed from scratch starting at the transistor level.

Circuit diagram:
programming-the-propeller-ic-circuit-diagramw
Programming The Propeller IC Circuit Diagram

The basic idea behind that was to avoid becoming involved in all sorts of patent disputes with other manufacturers. The result is astounding, and for software developers it certainly requires a change in mental gears. As is customary with modern microprocessors, the Propeller has a simple serial programming interface. The developer’s toolkit from Parallax has a modern USB port for that purpose, but a reasonably simple alternative (illustrated here) is also possible for anyone who prefers to work with the familiar RS232 port. Don’t forget that the Propeller works with a 3.3-V supply voltage.

Night Lamp


This simple night lamp required very low current as 350mA. So you can operate this lamp using one normal 1.5V battery. But we recommend using alkaline batteries as you can operate long time without any headache.

When you buy a IC for this circuit make sure it is Cmos type. To get best results do not use an ordinary LED cheap bulb, use a good one. You can build this lamp without the photo resister but it will be then affect to the duration of the battery you can use, there for use photo resister to double the running time as mention in the diagram.

When daylight comes the photo resister will automatically disconnect the circuit and with the darkness it will be switched on again.

VU LED Indicator Schematic

VU LED indicator is simpler and smaller than their analog, and very common in audio equipment. This version is based on National Semiconductor IC, and using the logarithmic version. Each LED operates with a 3dB difference from before, and the jumper is provided to allow dot or bar mode.


The circuit is completely conventional, and is based on application notes from National Semiconductor. The circuit is shown in the picture below and you can view it with a single IC and some discrete components. DC to the LED is almost filtered - C1 are included to ensure that the IC does not oscillate, and is not a filter cap.


This allows a higher LED current with lower dissipation than is the case if the DC is fully refined, and full smoothing would also require much larger capacitors. This will increase the size and cost of the project - especially important if you want to use in larger quantities that may occur with a mixer or analyzer.It could not be simpler. At the maximum level that you want to operate the equipment (as shown on the audio millivoltmeter or an oscilloscope with a signal applied), adjust VR1 so that the signal light to all the green LED (L1 is the most sensitive, and L10 showed the maximum level, so L1 to L8 should be lit ). If the input directly from the speaker output, an additional series resistor should be used in terminal "Aud" input to reduce the level. This can be determined by calculation (I leave it to you) or by experiment. As a guide, for 50W amplifier, an external resistance should be about 47k ohms.If you calibrate the meter for the power amplifier, set the output to a level below clipping. Adjust the level control until the LED turns on. In this way, if (L10) LED bulbs last when youre listening to music, youll know that you are very close to clipping, and volume should be reduced.

Electric Guitar Preamplifier

Here is the circuit diagram of a guitar preamplifier that would accept any standard guitar pickup. It is also versatile in that it has two signal outputs. A typical example of using a pick-up attached to a guitar headstock is shown in Fig. 1. The pickup device has a transducer on one end and a jack on the other end. The jack can be plugged into a preamplifier circuit and then to a power amplifier system. The pickup device captures mechanical vibrations, usually from stringed instruments such as guitar or violin, and converts them into an electrical signal, which can then be amplified by an audio amplifier. It is most often mounted on the body of the instrument, but can also be attached to the bridge, neck, pick-guard or headstock.

1Electric-Guitar-Pre-Amplifier1

The first part of this preamplifier circuit shown in Fig. 2 is a single-transistor common-emitter amplifier with degenerative feedback in the emitter and a boot-strapped bias divider to secure optimal input impedance. With the component values shown here, the input impedance is above 50 kilo-ohms and the peak output voltage is about 2V RMS. Master-level-control potentiometer VR1 should be adjusted for minimal distortion. The input from guitar pickup is fed to this preamplifier at J1 terminal. The signal is buffered and processed by the op-amp circuit wired around IC TL071 (IC1). Set the gain using preset VR2. The circuit has a master and a slave control. RCA socket J2 is the master signal output socket and socket J3 is the slave.

It is much better to take the signal from J2 as the input to the power amplifier system or sound mixer. Output signals from J3 can be used to drive a standard headphone amplifier. Using potentiometer VR3, set the slave output signal level at J3. House the circuit in a metallic case. VR1 and VR3 should preferably be the types with metal enclosures. To prevent hum, ground the case and the enclosures. A well-regulated 9V DC power supply is crucial for this circuit. However, a standard 9V alkaline manganese battery can also be used to power the circuit. Switch S1 is a power on/off switch.

How to Make a Light Activated Day Night Switch Circuit – Science Fair Project

This is the circuit diagram of a light activated switch based on National Semiconductors comparator IC LM 311 and a LDR. The circuit is based on a voltage comparator circuit wired around IC 1.The non inverting in put of IC1 is given with a reference voltage of 6V using resistors R3 and R4. The input to the inverting input will be the voltage across the LDR that is light dependent. At darkness the resistance of the LDR will be high and so do the voltage across it.

At this condition the voltage at the inverting input will be higher than the reference at non inverting pin and the out put of the comparator will be low(~o V). When the LDR is illuminated ,its resistance drops and so do the voltage across it.Now the voltage at inverting input will be lower than that at non inverting input and the out put of the comparator goes high (~12 V). This makes transistor Q1 on and it drives the relay.As a result we get a relay switching according to the intensity of the light falling on the LDR.

Light Activated Switch Circuit Diagram with Parts List .


Light Activated Switch Circuit Diagram

Notes.

  • Adjust POT R1 to set the desired light intensity for switching the relay.For this illuminate the LDR with the desire intensity light.The relay will be either on or off.Adjust POT R1 slowly so that the state of the relay changes.That’s it.Now the circuit is set for the given intensity of light.
  • Assemble the circuit on a good quality PCB or common board.
  • You can use either a 12 V battery or a well regulated & filtered 12V DC mains operated power supply.
  • The pin 5&6 (Balance & Balance/Strobe ) of IC LM311 are shorted to minimize the chance of oscillations.
  • The pin out of LM311 is also given together with the circuit diagram.

Discharge the large electrolytic capacitor load


If the switching regulator fails to work or fail to start, then it is usually of the electrolytic capacitor is storing charge. There are habits of some engineers dumping electrolyte capacitor like this using solder. This is actually a poor habit. Because without them knowing things like this sometimes can lead to broken solder element.


Why this may happen?
Elco CapacitorsElectrolytic CapacitorNote that the voltage on the electric charge of the electrolyte capacitor is 300V. While working voltage 220v only solder element. If the charge on the electrolytic capacitors are still full and the 220u electrolytic capacitors or more then this electric charge can only damage the solder element.

Another bad habit of throwing of the electrolytic capacitor is to download shortkan legs electrolyte capacitor with a screwdriver. It is no possibility of damaging electrolytic capacitor itself, in which connection leg electrolyte capacitor is no risk in it will burn.

How should the dumping of the electrolytic capacitors?
  • Always provide a resistor with a value of about 30k ~ 50k/2w
  • If the correct power supply to the problem fails to work, then the resistor is normally for a while we solder directly on the legs of of the electrolytic capacitor. And if the problem is ok, the new resistor is removed.
