Using this circuit you will connect to a single parallel port electronic circuits requiring up to 96 digital output, optically insulated lines, 3 to 15V powered. The CD4094B consists of an 8-bit shift register and a 8-bit latch. Data is shifted serially through the shift register on the positive transition of the clock. The output of the last stag

e (QS) can be used to cascade several devices. The output of each stage of the shift register feeds a latch, which latches data on the negative edge of the strobe input. When strobe is high, data propagates through the latch to output gates. Total time required is about 50 us but using higher speed LPT limit values is set by optocouplers to about 20 us. You can connect to a single LPT up to six of these CD4094 chains using a common clock and strobe pin. Note that optocouplers are not high speed components. In following image, you can see a digital input signal to led pin (lower trace) and transistor output voltage: transition time is about 500 ns and maximum frequency clock is about 2 MHz. Using this simple cable there is a problem: LPT pin 2 and 3 should source current to light up to six led, one for each connector. A single LED require about 16 mA and some LPT can source no more then 20-30 mA. And if you use a portable PC current may be lower! So this connection work fine only using high current parallel port AND if you connect only a small number of chains. Otherwise you need an " active version " of cable. Maximum power supply current is about 300 mA but in normal use is 150 mA with six chains connected. If voltage power supply is greater the 10 V a suited heat sink is required for voltage regulator.
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.....
