This time it is using the IC made by National Semiconductor the LM2662M. This is a direct replacement for the MAX1044 just it is a surface mount part (so it is a lot smaller). I have also changed the main voltage regulator to the LM7805ACT, more on this later. This circuit is connected to a DC power supply such as a battery or an automotive altern

ator/battery. The first thing the power hits is the LM7805ACT. This is a 1A +5v voltage regulator. The voltage regulator allows an input voltage of +7v up to +35v, so this CAN run off of the 24v systems in aircraft too! The LM7805ACT is different than the common LM7805CT. The CT version has an Output Voltage Tolerance of +/- 4%, where as the ACT version (the one we are using) has an Output Voltage Tolerance of +/- 2%. Basically the voltage coming out of the ACT version is cleaner than the CT. Price difference on the two is only $0. 40, so I would rather have the better quality one. Coming out of the LM7805ACT is a +5v supply. We need to invert this so we can have a -5v supply for our microphone pre-amplifier IC`s. This is done using a Switched Capacitor Voltage Converter, the LM2662M. This circuit is just like the MAX1044 IC that I was using earlier. "The LM2662M CMOS charge-pump voltage converter inverts a positive voltage in the range of 1. 5v to 5. 5v to the corresponding negative voltage. The LM2662 uses two low cost capacitors to provide 200 mA of output current. With an operating current of only 300 A and operating efficiency greater than 90% at most loads, the LM2662 provides ideal performance for battery powered systems. " (taken from the LM2662 White Paper) So, in conclusion the LM7805ACT allows 1 amp of current on the +5v supply line and the LM2662M allows 400mA of current on the -5v supply line. The current draw...
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.....
