A control circuit at the lamps` site reacts selectively to the polarity of this dc pulse and controls the power to the two lamps. The required power rating of the two zener diodes depends on the load current. The short duration and low duty cycle of the activation are helpful. The 1N2976 diodes in Figure 1 are rated for continuous dissipation of 10W. visit page.

Buck-boost-converter

This converter can accommodate wide inputvoltage swings, such as the 8 to 15-V swing typical of a 12-V sealed lead/acid battery. The low battery output indicates when input voltage drops below 8V.



Automatic power-off circuit saves battery

You can use many techniques, such as using low-power ICs and low-power wait, stop, or sleep modes, to minimize power. The small, simple power-off circuit in Figure 1demonstrates yet another power-saving approach. The circuit and a simple program (Listing 1) can sense a µC system`s lack of...



Boiler control

The purpose of this circuit is to control the water temperature in a hot-water heating system. What it does is to lower the boiler temperature as the outside air temperature increases. The op amp is used as a comparator. Thermistor TH2 and R2 form a voltage divider that supplies a reference...



Power source is insensitive to load changes

The circuit is analogous to a voltage or a current source but delivers fixed power levels that are independent of the load resistance. A feedback loop senses load power and automatically adjusts the output voltage to maintain the desired power level. The circuit measures the output current with a...

In both circuits, the SCR (and thereby the lamp) can be latched on by momentarily closing SI, thereby fe



Voltage stabilizer

This over/under voltage cut-out will save your costly electrical and electronic appliances from the adverse effects of very high and very low mains voltages. The circuit features auto reset and utilises easily available components. It makes use of the comparators available inside 555 timer ICs....



Soft-Start Circuit For Power Amps

The delay time for all circuits shown has been revised. The optimum is around 100ms - sufficient for around 5 full cycles at 50Hz, or 6 cycles at 60Hz. It is also quite alright to run the transformer to around 200-500% of full load current at start-up, and the formulae have been revised for 200%....
