In the design of microcontroller based electronics project, the use of Reset IC is critical for highly critical applications that need to ensure that the MCU will only operate at its optimum voltage. Without the use of reset circuitry, the MCU may go into a tristate of which it may go into abnormal operation. One example of the use of the Reset IC is that when the input voltage drops

below a fixed threshold, the reset IC will assert a reset signal for a fixed period of time after Vcc rises above the fixed threshold value. An example of how a reset circuit is connected is as shown below. During power up, once Vcc exceeds the reset threshold, the reset line will be kept low for a period after which the line will be pulled high. This resets the MCU after which it will go into normal operation. This operation will ensure that the MCU power supply is monitored and will only go into operation when the Vcc is within the range of its operation. The threshold voltage of the IC is chosen based on the minimum Vcc of the MCU. MCU supply can range from 1. 8V to 5. 0V and a suitable IC can be chosen to monitor the supply voltage to the MCU. A typical range of RESET IC from ST range from 2. 6V to 4. 6V.
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.....
