Led Pilot Light



LED's are funny things. They only work at Vdc within specific tolerances, and normally connected with a current limiting resistor to the powersource. Instead of a resistor, you can use a FET (Field Effect Transistor) such as the ECG312, NTE312, or others.
When the gate and the source are connected together, it behaves as a current regulator. In the circuit above the current is constant between 6 and 8 mA at 5 to 30Vdc.
If a diode is added (the 1N4148 is optional) this circuit is protected agains polarity reversal and can be connected to a AC source of 5 to 20 Vac.

MC14093 (CMOS) Quad 2-Input NAND Schmitt Trigger
Data sheet
Direct substitute for CD4093, MC14011B

The MC14093B Schmitt Trigger is constructed with MOS P-channel and N-channel enhancement mode devices in a single monolithic structure. These devices find primary use where low power dissipation and/or high noise immunity is desired. The MC14093B may be used in place of the MC14011B quad 2-input NAND gate for enhanced noise immunity or to "square-up" slowly changing waveforms.

Equivalent schematic Pin Assignments

Features:
  • Supply voltage range is 3.0Vdc to 18Vdc.
  • Capable of driving two low-power TTL loads or one low-power Schottky TTL load over the rated temperature range.
  • Double diode protection on ALL inputs.
  • Pin-for-pin compatible with the CD4093.
  • Can be used to replace the MC14011B.

    Absolute Maximum Ratings:
  • Supply voltage for MC14093B is -0.5 to +18 volt dc.Logic diagram
  • Input or Output voltage (DC or Transient) -0.5 to Vdd +0.5volt dc.
  • Input or Output current (DC or Transient), per pin is approx. 10mA.
  • Power dissipation 500 milliWatts.
  • Storage temperature range from -65 to +150 °C.
  • Lead temperature (soldering, up to 8 sec) 260 °C.

    Suffix's:
  • The 'L' suffix stands for Ceramic package (mostly used in the Industry), case 632.
  • The 'P' suffix stands for Plastic package, case 646.

    Notes:
    - Tie unused inputs always to an appropriate voltage level like +Vcc or Ground. Unused outputs must remain open.
    - The MC14093B contains protection circuitry to guard against damdage due to high static voltages or electric field. However, precautions must be take to avoid applications of any voltage higher than maximum rated voltage to this high impedance circuit. For proper operation, Vin and Vout should be constrained to the range Vss smaller-than Vdd.

    Simple microphone preamplifier

    Original Document at: http://www.hut.fi/~then/circuits/micamp.html

    This is a simple microphone preamplifer circuit which you can use between your microphone and stereo amplifier. This circuit amplifier microphone suitable for use with normal home stereo amplifier line/CD/aux/tape inputs. This mic preamp can take both dynamic and electret microphone inputs (preamplifer provides power foe electret microphone elements). The idea of this circuit is to keep the design as simple as possible to be easy to build. That was my goal when I needed a simple external microphone preamplifer for my mixer. The performance of the circuit is nothing superior but can be used with many not so serious projects.

    The circuit is a simple one transistor amplifier with amplification of about 30-40 dB (depends on transitor, temperature and voltage). The dynamic mic input is just a simple one transistor amplifier circuit with nothing special. Electret microphone input has a resistor R1 fo feeding current through electret microphone capsule when it is connected to the electret microphone input. Electret microphone needs some current (about 1 mA) flowing through it to operate, because there is a small amplifier circuit inside the microphone capsule. This circuit is suitable for all typical cheap electret campsules which available from any electronic component shop. Because electret microphones have higher signal level output, it is quite easy to overdrive the amplifier when you shout to electret microphone.

    The circuit is bet to build to a small metal box where you have a small 9V battery for powering it. Battery power and metal box keep noise away.

    Hello everybody, here is my problem:
    
    I'm using an analog to digital converter (the ADC0808) in order to
    get position information from several potentiometers fixed on
    different shafts(it's for a robot arm).
    I build the circuit and i'm using a program in C (made by me) in
    order to see the data on the screen. The chip is supposed to convert
    a value 0-5Vdc into a number 0-255. It does it but it acts pretty
    strange. Example: it's linear from 0 to 32 but once there it jumps to
    64, goes linear again until 99 then gets back to 33 and continues
    linearly. Everything else in the circuit works fine, i'm sure the
    problem is my ADC.
    What do you think about that?
    Thanks a lot.

    I think maybe one output pin  of your dac is shorted out.
    Also, when you say 'everything else is fine', I hope you have actually
    measured the input to the ADC as the pot turns ;D

    FET Audio Mixer


    This simple circuit mixes two or more channels into one channel (eg. stereo into mono). The circuit can mix as many or as few channels as you like and consumes very little power. The mixer is shown with two inputs, but you can add as many as you want by just duplicating the "sections" which are clearly visible on the schematic.

    This is the schematic of the Mixer

    Notes

    1. As many or as few channels as are required can be added to the mixer. Do this by just duplicating the input "sections" which are clearly shown on the schematic. One version of this mixer I saw had 25 inputs!

    2. A shielded case is probably needed to reduce hum and help stop oscillations.

    3. The circuit can be powered by a single 9 volt battery.

    Testing a MosFet

    This testing procedure is for use with a digital multimeter in the diode test-range with a minimum of 3.3 volt over d.u.t. (diode-under-test)

    testing a mosfet Connect the 'Source' of the MosFet to the meter's negative (-) lead.

    1) Hold the MosFet by the case or the tab but don't touch the metal parts of the test probes with any of the other MosFet's terminals until needed.

    2) First, touch the meter positive lead onto the MosFet's 'Gate'.

    3) Now move the positve probe to the 'Drain'. You should get a 'low' reading. The MosFet's internal capacitance on the gate has now been charged up by the meter and the device is 'turned-on'.

    4) With the meter positive still connected to the drain, touch a finger between source and gate (and drain if you like, it does not matter at this stage). The gate will be discharged through your finger and the meter reding should go high, indicating a non-conductive device.

    Such a simple test is not 100% -- but is useful and usually adequate.

    When MOSFETS fail they often go short-circuit drain-to-gate. This can put the drain voltage back onto the gate where ofcourse it feeds (via the gate resistors) into the drive circuitry, prossibly blowing that section. It will also get to any other paralleled MosFet gates, blowing them also.
    So, if the MosFets are deceased, check the drivers as well! This fact is probably the best reason for adding a source-gate zener diode; zeners fail short circuit and a properly connected zener can limit the damage in a failure! You can also add subminiature gate resistors -- which tend to fail open-circuit (like a fuse) under this overload, disconnecting the dud MosFet's gate.

    Phone Busy Indicator


    Have you ever been using the modem or fax and someone else picks up the phone, breaking the connection? Well, this simple circuit should put an end to that. It signals that the phone is in use by lighting a red LED. When the phone is not in use, a green LED is lit. It needs no external power and can be connected anywhere on the phone line, even mounted inside the phone. Note: This circuit may cause problems for some when used. You may want to build a different circuit.

    Null Printer Adapter

    This circuit is a simple adapter for PC parallel port to think that there is a printer connected to computer. This adapter is useful for testing printing speed with different software and as a part of your own designs.

    You can use this circuit to connect your simple circuits to the parallel port. Usually many home-made circuits use parallel port in a way which you have to use direct I/O commands to control the parallel port to be able to communicate to your circuit. Unfortunately this approach is not always possible, because some operating system prohibit the programs to directly control the computer hardware. In this situation you might want to use standard operating system printer printing functions for sending data to your circuit, but it does not work because your circuit does not generate the handshakes that are needed.

    With this adapter you don't have to worry about generating handshaking signals in your own circuits. This simple circuit consists of only few wires connected to parallel port connector and it makes the computer to think that there is a real printer connected to parallel port and accepting the data.

    Circuit operation

    This circuit works using following principles: Bysy and paper out signals which normally come from printer have to be kept low, so they are tied to ground. Select and error signals which normally come from printer must be kept high, so they are connected to reset output in parallel port. Acknowledge signal is directly driven from strobe line.

    1 -> 10
    11 -> 12,18
    13 -> 15,16
    
    Circuit diagram picture:

    Circuit diagram

    The circuit is very easy to built inside the printer connector shell. The circuit can be easily shown in ASCII and graphical presentation. All pin numbers are for 25 pin D connector (as in PC parallel port).

    Another proposed circuit

    I saw the following schematics was shown on Dontronics web pages. The circuit is simpler because it does not connect to all handshaking pins. The basic idea is the same as in the circuit shown above.

    Make up a DB-25 plug as follows:

    • Connect Strobe (1) to ACK (10)
    • Connect Busy (11) to PE (12). Connect these via a 270 Ohm resistor to Ground (18 to 25).
    • Connect SLCT (13) ro ERROR (15). Connect these via a 22K resistor to INIT (16).

    Description:
          One of the most frustrating problems with experimenting is not be able to check the logic state of TTL or CMOS ic's without the use of a triggered oscilloscope. The schematic diagram above shows a simple and inexpensive way of building a 'Logic Probe' yourself. It will provide you with three visible indicators; "Logic 1" (+, red led), "Logic 0" (-, green led), and "Pulse" (yellow led).

          The yellow or 'pulse' led comes on for approximately 200 mSec to indicate a pulse without regards to its width. This feature enables one to observe a short-duration pulse that would otherwise not be seen on the logic 1 and 0 led's. A small switch (subminiature slide or momentary push) across the 20K resistor can be used to keep this "pulse" led on permanently after a pulse occurs.
    In operation, for a logic 0 input signal, both the '0' led and the pulse led will come 'ON', but the 'pulse' led will go off after 200 mSec. The logic levels are detected via resistor R1 (1K), then amplified by T1 (NPN, Si-AF Preamplifier/Driver), and selected by the 7400 IC for what they are. Diode D1 is a small signal diode to protect the 7400 and the leds from excessive inverse voltages during capacitor discharge.

          For a logic '1' input, only the logic '1' led (red) will be 'ON'. With the switch closed, the circuit will indicate whether a negative-going or positive-going pulse has occurred. If the pulse is positive-going, both the '0' and 'pulse' led's will be on. If the pulse is negative-going, the '1' and 'pulse' led's will be on.

    IC1, IC2: 741 / 351 Operational Amplifier IC

    EXPLANATION

    This circuit is a one-channel pre-amplifier using two 741 or 351 operational amplifiers.
    The part of the circuit in the yellow box provides and regulates zero volts or ground. R1 should be adjusted so that pin 3 of IC1 is half the supply voltage. The reason the output of the IC is buffered is because the IC has a regulated output of about 1mA and should a spike occur, it would not recover fast enough.
    Note: (Since the outputs of the IC's are current regulated, R2 and R7 are really not needed.)
    The second part of the circuit in the red box is the amplifier part. Here signal is fed into C4 and carried to the +ve input of the 741. R3 and R4 keep the capacitor from charging up in signals with only one side (ie the signal waveform is not swinging from + to -). R5 and R6 control the gain of the circuit by varying the -ve feedback. Once again the output is buffered by the transistor setup.

    APPLICATIONS

    This circuit is a UNIVERSAL pre-amp and can be used in almost any circuit where the signal is very small. eg. Microphones, recievers...

    TESTS

    This circuit consumed less than 10mA at 12V. It is a very stalbe circuit.

    Probably a 2SC9018, the Japanese often only put the last part of the number
    on the transistor!

    Notes

    1. The sensor is a small piece of PC board etched to the pattern showen in the schematic. The traces should be very close to each other, but never touching. A large spiral pattern would also work.

    2. Make sure to use a loud buzzer.

    Notes

    1. To use the circuit, simply connect it in series to the phone. Then plug in the recorder. It will start recording when the phone is picked up.

    2. The values of R1 and R2 may have to be adjusted, depending on the characteristics of the phone line it is connected to (they vary). If the R1+R2 combination is increased sufficiently (try 2.47K) then the circuit can be connected in parallel with the line, thus covering all attached devices.

    Telephone Hold Button


    Although a hold feature is standard on most new phones, a lot of us still use the origional bell phones. Those of us that require a hold feature will find this circuit very useful. It is easy to build, and is compact enough to be installed inside the phone with no real problem. It is also powered by the phone line itself, eliminating the need for batteries.

    This is the schematic of the Phone Hold Button

    LED1 1 Red LED Green LED, Yellow LED
    S1 1 Normally Open Push-Button Switch
    MISC 1 Wire, Board, Case (If Used)

    Notes

    1. To place a call on hold, simply hold down the button while hanging up the phone. To take a call off hold, just pick up the phone, or any extension.

    2. Even though this is a simple circuit, you may have to check with your phone company before use.
