The circuit protection output of power amplifiers and loudspeakers, dispose certain interesting elements, as the isolation of loudspeakers from the exit of amplifier, when is presented continuous voltage in his exit or when the temperature of heatsink, goes up excessively, providing simultaneously and time delay in the connection loudspeakers in the amplifier, so that we avoid pass in them, the known annoying noises from the charge - discharge of capacitors of supply. It?s constituted by a binary comparator [ IC1 ], the transistors Q1-2 and indicative LED D5-6. The supply of circuit can become from positive voltage [ Point A ] of mainly power supply, which is stabilised by the D3 and the R17, in + 15V. Point B is connected in one of the secondary AC coil of main transformer.

If close the main switch of main line AC, then a AC voltage (in secondary coil of transformer), is presented in the point B, it?s rectified from the D2 and it supply with negative voltage, via the R9, the Q3, this cut off and it begin charge the C4 via the R10-11. As long as time therefore last the charge of capacitor, the input [+] of comparator IC2B is found in low level concerning input [-]. The exit of IC2B, has low level, therefore the Q4 remain in cutt off and the RL1 remain deactivate, the D6 he is ON. Just the C4 charged, change the situation of IC1B, is activated the RL1, the loudspeaker are connected in the amplifier output, the D6 it OFF. When it?s interrupted the supply, all the process is inverted, and the loudspeaker disconnect, without pass annoying noises. If as long as it work the circuit, is presented problem of continuous voltages in the exit of amplifier then turn off of RL1 and protected the loudspeakers. This become with help the Q1-2. The acoustic signal from the exit of power amplifier, is led to point D, the alternate voltages is led to the ground via the C1-2, that create a not polar capacitor. Continuous voltages, bigger than + 1.7V or smaller than ?4.8V, activate immediately the Q1 or the Q2, respectively. With the activation of transistors goes down the level of input [+] of IC1B, so that turn off and the RL1. A other section of protection that for us provide the circuit is the thermic...
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.....
