Electronic circuit, componnent data, lesson and etc….: Programmable LED Flasher

Programmable LED Flasher


uses only one chip and can be useful if a not very precise number of flashes of the LED is needed before reverting to the steady-on state. In fact, connecting D1 Anode to different output pins of the IC, the steady-on state of the LED will be obtained after 2, 4, 8, 16 flashes and so on.
Connecting D1 Anode as shown, the LED will start flashing at about two times per second after power-on and will revert to the steady state after 8 flashes. P1
resets the circuit and C1 automatically resets IC at power-on.
Connecting D1 Anode to pin #13 of IC1 the flashes will be 4; to pin #1 will be 16 etc. The flashing frequency of the LED can be varied by changing the values of R2 and/or C2.

Circuits were tested at 9V supply, but they might work in the 3 - 15V dc supply range.
The LED current limiting resistor value was calculated for 9 - 12V supply and should be changed to suit different supply voltages.
