Tone Doorbell circuit

Published:2012/9/11 21:14:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: Tone Doorbell

When the door is pushed, you hear a whisper that slide up to a higher frequency. The oscillator frequency is determined by AF coupling capacitance, C 1 and the value of the resistor connected between the base of IQ and the earth. This resistance, RBG is equal to (Ri + R2) RJ. First, suppose that 51 is closed and R2 have been adjusted to produce a pleasant, low frequency tone. The capacitor C3 charges through R6 until it reaches such a tension that will cause diode Dl to conduct.   (View)

Door Knock Beeper -- June 14, 2009

Published:2012/9/6 20:12:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: Door Knock , Beeper

In some apartment buildings and homes, not equipped with a door bell, it may be hard to hear someone knocking on the front door. The circuit below provides a means to activate a loud beeping sound inside, whenever someone knocks on the door from the outside. The circuit is powered by a 9v battery, which should provide years of service. An on/off switch allows the device to be turned off if desired. It is suggested that the circuit be housed in a plastic box with a 9v battery holder. A Serpac box from Mouser, part number 635-211-I-G is just right for this application. It is about 4 inches long and 2.6 inches wide. It has a nice compartment for a 9v battery. Source: discovercircuits   (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

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)

An experimental crystal oscillator FM transmitter circuit

Published:2012/8/27 22:46:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: experimental , crystal oscillator , FM transmitter

As shown in Figure 1, V1 and related resistive and capacitive components form the first level audio amplifier circuit which provides sufficient strength audio signals for modulating level. D1 is variable capacitance diode, and its equivalent capacitance varies with the reverse voltage on two poles, thus enabling center frequency of oscillator composed of crystal oscillator and external circuit change to achieve the purpose of FM. The signal output by oscillator is frequency doubled, amplified by the V3, then it is output by the tuned transformer after completing matching and filtering. The circuit uses tuned transformer, so it needs to restructure their cores after finished making. Its method is to produce a simple field strength circuit (as shown in Figure 2) to connect with the output terminal of the transformer, then adjusting the magnetic core until the ammeter indicating the maximum value.   (View)

The the loop antenna L1 for emission also serves as the oscillation coil, the high-frequency current flowing in antenna is synchronized resonance with the oscillation frequency, so it is always in the best emission state. Accoring to practice, launching distance is about 100 ~ 150m in empty mine. In contrast, in the case of equal working voltage, current and emission frequency, L1 is replaced by ordinary spiral coil, the oscillation transistor collector is connected to a 5pF capacitor and 0.8m Rod antenna for emission experiments, the two the transmitting distancea are almost equal. So it proves that the concealed loop antenna( it doubles the oscillator coil) has high emission efficiency.   (View)
