The circuit illustrated in the figure features a dashed line on the left, representing a standard lighting circuit, while the right side is responsible for the dual functionality of touch activation using the NE555 timer. Components VD1 through VD4 form a bridge rectifier circuit, while VD5 serves as the primary switch for the circuit. When the switch (VS) is activated, the lights turn on; conversely, when VS is in the off state, the lights are extinguished. In the off state, 220V AC is rectified by VD1 to VD4, along with resistor R2, and VD5, forming a voltage regulator circuit with capacitor C1, which provides approximately 6V DC for the time base circuit. When VS is in the on state, the alternating current is rectified through VD1 to VD4, and VD5 completes the loop, maintaining the 6V DC output across C1. Thus, the integrated circuit operates without a drop in voltage from VS. The time base circuit is connected to an RS flip-flop. When a finger touches electrode pad M1, the induced noise signal is injected into the time base circuit trigger terminal (pin 2) via resistor R4. A rectified negative pulse from VD6 triggers the time base circuit, setting it and producing a high output at pin 3. This activates the light H via current supplied through resistor R1. To turn off the lights, touching the lower electrode sheet M2 induces a noise signal through R5, which is rectified by VD7, triggering a positive pulse at the threshold terminal (pin 6) of the time base circuit. This resets the time base circuit, resulting in a low output at pin 3. The voltage at R1 is provided by resistor R3 when the circuit is grounded at pin 3, leading to the loss of trigger voltage from VS, thus turning off the lamp H.
The described circuit operates as a touch-sensitive lighting system utilizing the NE555 timer IC. The primary function of the circuit is to control the lighting based on human interaction, specifically through capacitive sensing. The bridge rectifier formed by diodes VD1 to VD4 allows for the conversion of AC voltage to DC, ensuring that the circuit can operate effectively under varying input conditions. The NE555 timer is configured in a monostable mode, where it generates a single output pulse in response to a triggering event.
The use of capacitors C1 and resistors R2 and R3 in conjunction with the rectifier diodes ensures stable voltage regulation essential for the reliable operation of the NE555 timer. The design allows for a consistent 6V output, which is critical for the timer's functionality, preventing voltage drops that could interrupt operation.
The touch sensitivity mechanism is achieved through the electrodes M1 and M2, which detect the presence of a finger through capacitive coupling. The induced noise signal is critical for triggering the timer, allowing for a responsive and user-friendly interface. The integration of rectifying diodes VD6 and VD7 ensures that the signals are appropriately conditioned for the timer's input requirements.
This circuit is well-suited for applications where touch activation is preferred, such as in lighting systems for homes, decorative installations, or interactive displays. The simplicity of the design, combined with the functionality provided by the NE555 timer, makes it an effective solution for creating touch-sensitive lighting systems. Circuit shown in Figure, the dashed line in FIG left portion as an ordinary lighting circuit, the right part of the production of the double bonds of touch with NE555 3-3 Switc hing lights. VD1 ~ VD4 form a bridge rectifier circuit, vs and VD5 constituting the main circuit switch. When vs turned on, the lights: vs when blocked, lights out. When vs in blocking state, 220V AC by VD1 ~ VD4 rectified by R2, VD5 and CI composition regulator circuit, Cl obtain about 6V DC voltage at both ends, for the time base manifold A electricity. When vs in the on -state when the alternating current through the VD1 ~ VD4 rectified by vs and VD5 constitute a loop, ends in CI can maintain 6V left and right DC voltage output.
Therefore, when the base integrated circuit DC operating voltage will not vs conduction fell.

Turn off the lights when needed, just fingering a lower electrode sheet M2, this time the body induced noise signal by the R5 and injected through VD7 rectified so that the time base circuit threshold terminal 6 feet to give a positive signal pulse trigger, time base circuit reset output terminal 3 pin output low, Rl positive trigger voltage is provided by the group R3 when the circuit is shorted to ground pin 3, vs loss of trigger voltage when the AC had mold that is turned off, the lamp H goes out.
