Well i posted a similar circuit in another topic but a lot has changed in the design. So here is a brief story of what i am doing, actually i am in a project where i have to design a circuit which can be used to trigger solenoid valves for the airbags in the car, so i need a circuit with a time range of 0 to 1 seconds. Also the valves chosen are 1

2 V, 0. 5 A and can go up to the maximum speed of 200 milisecond. In my group meeting it was decided to use a monostable 555 circuit to trigger valves as they need some sort of time regulation because it is something like that you press a button and an airbag go will off instantly and that car would be a demonstrator only! so i am a little confused as can there be an alternative to the circuit above as it looks too complicated I know i will need a diode connected in parallel to solenoid to prevent back emf but exactly don`t understand why are transistors required if transistors are required then what type of transistors do I use This circuit will require probably only one transistor on the output, with a couple resistors. That should drive your solenoid which you said was 0. 5 amp right The input lockout can be as simple as a capacitor that couples the switch to the input, with a pullup resistor, and a protection diode from trigger to the positive supply voltage. Why Airbags are use-once-only things. In an accident there would only be a single trigger. Besides, surely it won`t matter if the valve opens repeatedly after the bag has deployed If this is a hypothetical system, e. g. for a school project, then fine. If it`s for a real-life airbag system then a lot more needs to be done to prevent any possibility of false triggering, e. g. by voltage spikes on the 12V supply. so in this simulator we will use airbags made of...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
