AUTOMATIC CAR ALARM

Even the best car alarm is useless if you forget to set it upon leaving your car, whence this circuit. The relay has a make and a break contact: the former is necessary to delay the switching in of the alarm after you have got out of your car, and the latter serves to switch on the car alarm proper. Immediately on re-entering your car, you must press the hidden switch, S1.This causes silicon-controlled rectifier Th1 to conduct so that the relay is energized. At the same time, the

This mini amplifier is based on the Thomson Type TEA2025. In this 16-pin DIL device hides a stereo amplifier that with a supply voltage of 9 V will provide 1watt output per channel into a 4-ohm loudspeaker. At full output, the input sensitivity is about 25 mVpp. If this is too sensitive, a resistor R may be connected between pin 6 and C7 and between pin 11and C2. The sensitivity then becomes (25+ Y2R) mV, provided R> 1k. Furthermore, the supply voltage may lie between 3 V and 12 V. The operation of the IC cannot be discussed here, but for those interested its internal circuit diagram is reproduced in Fig.

The Type TDA1521 from Valvo/Mullard is an integrated HiFi stereo power amplifier designed for mains fed applications such as stereo TV. The device works optimally when fed from a ± 16V supply, and delivers a maximum output power of 2 x 12W into 8 ohm. The gain of the amplifiers is fixed internally at 30 dB with a spread of 0.2 dB to ensure optimum gain balance between the channels. A special feature of the chip is its built-in mute circuit, which

This l-watt amplifier lends itself par excellence for use as driver for a low impedance headphone or as output stage in a hi-fi preamplifier driving an active loudspeaker. Many preamplifiers do not permit long, unscreened leads to be connected to them, but the present amplifier accepts these happily.

The amplifier delivers a maximum power of 1 watt into 8 Q for an input signal of about 500 mVrms.

AUDIO CONTROLLED MAINS SWITCH

It is often useful for audio or video equipment to be switched off automatically after there has been no Input signal for a while.

The function of the on-off switch in such equipment is then taken over by switch S2in the accompanying diagram. It remains, however, possible to switch off manually by means of S1. Automatic switch-off occurs after there has been no input signal for about 2 minutes: this delay makes it possible for a new record or cassette to be placed in the relevant machine.
The audio input to the proposed circuit may be taken from the output of the relevant TV set, amplifier, or whatever. The input earth is held at +6 V with respect to the circuit earth by potential divider R1-R2-R3-R4. The two 741s function as comparators: the output of IC1 goes high when the input signal is greater than +

Quartz crystals and ceramic resonators are made from slices of quartz or slabs of ceramic material, with electrodes plated on the sides. They exploit the piezoelectric effect, in which some materials move when subjected to a voltage and also generate a voltage when mechanically flexed. Crystals are always found encased in metal, while ceramic resonators are usually in yellow or orange plastic. Crystals have two leads, and ceramics may have

Signal Strength Meter

A field strength meter is a very handy piece of test equipment to determine the output of a transmitter. Talking Electronics website describes a number of Test Equipment projects to help with developing your projects.

RF coil- embed same PCB according to your frequency range.

Surface Mount Resistors

All SM resistors conform to a 3-digit or 4-digit code. But there are a number of codes, according to the tolerance of the resistor. It's getting very complicated.

The first two digits represent the two digits in the answer. The third digit represents the number of zero's you must place after the two digits. The answer will be OHMS. For example: 334 is written 33 0 000.
This is written 330,000 ohms. The comma can be replaced by the letter "k". The final answer is: 330k.
222 = 22 00 = 2,200 = 2k2
473 = 47 000 = 47,000 = 47k
105 = 10 00000 = 1,000,000 = 1M = one million ohms

4017 CMOS Decade Counter

The CD 4017 is called a COUNTER or DIVIDER or DECADE COUNTER. It is a very handy chip for producing "Running LED effects" etc.
It has 10 outputs. For normal operation, the clock enable and reset should be at ground.
Output "0" goes HIGH on the rise of the first clock cycle.

On the rise of the second clock cycle, output "0" goes LOW and output "1" goes HIGH. This process continues across the ten outputs and cycles to output "0" on the eleventh cycle.
The "Carry Out" pin goes LOW when output "5" goes HIGH and goes HIGH when output "0" goes HIGH.
In other words, "Carry Out" is HIGH for outputs 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4. It is LOW when the following outputs are active: 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
When RESET (pin 15) is taken HIGH, the chip will make output "0" go HIGH and remain HIGH.
When "Clock Inhibit" (pin 13) is taken HIGH, the counter will FREEZE on the output that is currently HIGH.

They are complete voltage regulators with outstanding ripple rejection and superior line load regulation. Current limiting is included to limit peak output current to a safe level. Safe area protection for the output transistor is provided. If internal power dissipation is too high, thermal shutdown occurs.

Improved phase control circuit

The following diagram shows a circuit using a neon lamp as a breakdown device. This gives smoother control and improved performance. The neon triggers when the voltage across the two 0.1μ capacitors reaches the breakdown voltage of the lamp (60-90V). Control extends from 95% to full off. The neon lamp phase controlled circuit shown below combines the low cost of the simple RC circuit shown before but gives improved performance. The circuit below gives half wave control from 95% on to full off. Full power can be easily obtained by putting a switch across the SCR. The circuit uses a neon. This gives the following improvements:

A higher impedance circuit can be used for control.

As a result, the control element (which is a 100k pot in the circuit below) can be replaced by a high impedance device such as a thermistor or light dependent resistor, for heating or light control applications.

Lamp dimmer/Heater controller

R1 and C1 are a phase shift network - they produce a variable delay in the waveform applied to the ST4 and hence the triac. When the voltage across C1 reaches the breakdown voltage for the ST4, C1 partially discharges into the triac gate through the ST4. This pulse triggers the triac into conduction for the remainder of the half cycle.

This easy-to-build controller is ideal for dimming lights, and controlling the output of electric heating type appliances. The light or heater element etc is placed where the 'LOAD' is marked on the circuit.

Miniature cells and batteries

In recent years, cells and batteries—especially cells—have become available in many different sizes and shapes besides the old cylindrical cells, transistor batteries and lantern batteries. These are used in watches, cameras, and other microminiature electronic gizmos.

Silver-oxide types

Silver-oxide cells are usually made into button-like shapes, and can fit inside even a small wristwatch. They come in various sizes and thicknesses, all with similar appearances. They supply 1.5 V, and offer excellent energy storage for the weight. They also have a flat discharge curve

Silver-oxide cells can be stacked to make batteries. Several of these miniature cells, one on top of the other, might provide 6 V or 9 V for a transistor radio or other light-duty electronic device. The resulting battery is about the size of an AAA cylindrical cell.

Mercury types

Mercury cells, also called mercuric oxide cells, have advantages similar to silver-oxide cells. They are manufactured in the same general form. The main difference, often not of significance, is a somewhat lower voltage per cell: 1.35 V. If six of these cells are stacked.

The Weston standard cell

Most electrochemical cells produce about 1.2 V to 1.8 V of electric potential. Different types vary slightly. A mercury cell has a voltage that is a little bit less than that of a zinc-carbon or alkaline cell. The voltage of a cell can also be affected by variables in the manufacturing process. Normally, this is not significant. Most consumer type dry cells can be assumed to produce 1.5 Vdc. There are certain types of cells whose voltages are predictable and exact. These are called standard cells. One example of a standard cell is the Weston cell. It produces 1.018 V at room temperature. This cell uses a solution of cadmium sulfate. The positive electrode is made from mercury sulfate, and the negative electrode is made using mercury and cadmium. When properly constructed and used at room temperature, the voltage of the Weston standard cell is always the same, and this allows it to be used as a dc voltage standard. There are other kinds of standard cells, but the Weston cell is the most common.

Common dime-store cells and batteries

The cells you see in grocery, department, drug, and hardware stores that are popular for use in household convenience items like flashlights and transistor radios are usually of the zinc-carbon or alkaline variety. These provide 1.5 V and are available in sizes known as AAA (very small), AA (small), C (medium large), and D (large). You have probably seen all of these sizes hanging in packages on a pegboard. Batteries made from these cells are usually 6 V or 9 V. One type of cell and battery that has become

Cells and batteries

ONE OF THE MOST COMMON AND MOST VERSATILE SOURCES OF DC IS THE CELL.

The term cell means self-contained compartment, and it can refer to any of various different things in (and out of) science. In electricity and electronics, a cell is a unit source of dc energy. There are dozens of different types of electrical cells. When two or more cells are connected in series, the result is known as a battery.

Electrochemical energy

In electricity, one important form of potential energy exists in the atoms and molecules of some chemicals under special conditions. Early in the history of electrical science, laboratory physicists found that when metals came into contact with certain chemical solutions, voltages appeared between the pieces of metal. These were the first electrochemical cells. A piece of lead and a piece of lead dioxide immersed in an acid solution will show a persistent voltage. This can be detected by connecting a galvanometer between the

Light Sensitive Switch

This circuit makes use of the wide change of resistance of the LDR. Between positive and negative supply there is a voltage divider. The bottom section is a variable resistor RV1. The top half is formed by the LDR and a 4.7K ohm resistor in series. In low light conditions when the resistance of the LDR is very high, the bias to the Darlington pair formed by TR1 and TR2 is very low, and they do not conduct. When the light level rises, the resistance of the LDR falls. This turns the transistors 'on' and pulls in the relay.

The LDR should be an ORP12 or similar. The relay should have a pull in voltage of 9V or lower and a coil resistance of 280 ohms or higher. Photo Electric

NE555 Light sensitive Switch

The use of the 555 timer 1C with an LDR provides a high performance light switch. An LDR is a Light Dependent Resistor and is a very low cost way of detecting light.

Their value will depend on the current and the degree of smoothing required. As a general guide, if the current being drawn from a supply is high, the size of the smoothing capacitor will need to be large (around 2500uF or larger) if the hum level is to be kept down to a respectable level.

Relay

Relays are remote control electrical switches that are controlled by another switch. Relays allow a small current flow circuit to control a higher current circuit.several designs of relays are in use today, 3-pin, 4-pin, 5-pin,and 6-pin, single switches.

Junction Field Effect Transistors

The junction field effect transistor in its simplest form is essentially a voltage controlled resistor. The resistive element is usually a bar of silicon. For an N-channel JFET this bar is an N-type material sandwiched between two layers of P-type material. The two layers of P-type material are electrically connected together and are called the gate. One endof the N-type bar is called the source and the other is called the drain. Current is injected into the channel from the source terminal, and collected at the drain terminal. The interface region of the P- and the N-type materials forms a P-N junction as shown in Figure

The Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) exhibits characteristics which often make it more suited to a

The metal–oxide–semiconductor

The metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET, MOS-FET, or MOS FET) is a transistor used for amplifying or switching electronic signals. The basic principle of this kind of transistor was first patented by Julius Edgar Lilienfeld in 1925. Twenty five years later, when Bell Telephone attempted to patent the junction transistor, they found Lilienfeld already holding a patent which was worded in a way that would include all types of transistors. Bell Labs was able to work out an agreement with Lilienfeld, who was still alive at that time. (It is not known if they paid him money or not.) It was at that time the Bell Labs version was given the name bipolar junction transistor, or simply junction transistor, and Lilienfeld's design took the name field effect transistor.

FET(field-effect transistor)

The field-effect transistor (FET) is a transistor that relies on an electric field to control the shape and hence the conductivity of a channel of one type of charge carrier in a semiconductor material. FETs are sometimes called unipolar transistors to contrast their single-carrier-type operation with the dual-carrier-type operation of bipolar (junction) transistors (BJT).

The field effect transistor was actually conceived before the more familiar bipolar transistor. Due to limited technology and later the rapid rise of the bipolar device it was not pursued until the early 1960Õs as a viable semiconductor alternative. At this time further investigation of the field effect transistor and advances in semiconductor process technology lead to the types in use today. Field effect transistors include the Junction FET (JFET) and the MOSFET. The MOSFET is a metal oxide semiconductor technology and is sometimes referred to as the IGFET or Insulated Gate FET. All field effect transistors are majority carrier devices. This means that current is conducted by the majority carrier species present in the channel of the FET. This majority carrier consists of hole for p-channel devices and electrons for n-channel devices. The JFET operates with current flow through a controlled channel in the semiconductor material. The MOSFET creates a channel under the insulated gate region which is produced by an electric field induced in the semiconductor by applying a voltage to the gate. The JFET is a depletion mode device whereas the MOSFET can operate as a depletion mode or an enhancement mode device. Depletion mode devices are controlled by depleting the current channel of charge carriers. Enhancement mode devices are controlled by enhancing the channel with additional charge carriers.

The FET's three terminals are...

Source (S), through which the majority carriers enter the channel. Conventional current entering the channel at S is designated by IS.

Drain (D), through which the majority carriers leave the channel. Conventional current entering the channel at D is designated by ID. Drain to Source voltage is VDS.

Gate (G), the terminal that modulates the channel conductivity. By applying voltage to G, one can control ID.
