The Sun-Up Alarm can be used to provide a audible alarm for when the sun comes up or it can be used in a dark area and detect when a light comes on. It can also be used to detect a light beam, headlights etc. The circuit works as follows. The phototransistor is very sensitive to light. (Any phototransistor will work fine) The sun shining on this device will provide a high to one of the NAND gates. This will cause another NAND gate to oscillate which will drive another gate to output a 100hz tone. The transistor provides drive for the speaker. visit page.

LX1970 VISIBLE LIGHT SENSOR

The LX1970 light sensor can be used in conjunction with an LCD Front or Back Light Controller such as the LX1992 for LEDs or the LX1689 for CCFLs. This application note describes how to design in the LX1970.



Warning light

The circuit provides illumination when darkness comes. By using the gain available in darlington transistors, this circuit is simplified to use just a photodarlington sensor, a darlington amplifier, and three resistors.



LIGHT DETECTORS WITH AMIBIENT LIGHT COMPENSATION

These circuits were taken from a few application notes on infrared remote control devices. They use a current compensation method to separate the modulated light pulses from ambient light. They appear to have limited bandwidth and may only work at the 30KHz to 50KHz frequencies often used by TV...



BROAD BAND 5MHz OPTICAL FIBER RECEIVER II

If the above circuit it still too slow, you can try this circuit. What it lacks in sensitivity it makes up for in speed. The circuit attaches a plastic fiber optic PIN photodiode assembly to a small box containing a small 3v battery and a standard BNC plug. When the box is plugged into to the...

This circuit is yet another design that converts current from a PIN photo diode to a voltage. It has a bandwidth that extends beyond 50MHz.



Photoelectric-ac-power-switch

For a dark photocell, high resistance, the vohage across the diac rises rapidly with the line voltage due to the current through C 1, triggering the diac early in the cycle.
