Using a field effect transistor at the input of a schmitt trigger, means a low value capacitor can be employed. The trigger by Q1 and O2 has a hysteresis of approximately 3V. This is controlled by the 3V zenen Mth C1 uncharged O1 is off and O2 is forward biased. The voltage at the source of Q1 is approximately +4V. O2 conducts, thus turning on TR

3. The output is therefore at +1OV. C1 then charges via R1 and the gate voltage of Q1 goes positive. When the gate voltage is sufficiently positive Q1 conducts, turning off Q2. The positive feedback from the emitter of (12 to the source of (11 ensures a rapid switch off. Q3 also switches off and the output goes to -5V. Capacitor C1 now discharge towards -5V, but when the voltage across C1 falls by approximately 3V, Ol ceases to conduct, turning on 0. 2. The collector load of Q3 is connected to a negative supply giving a 50% duty cycle. (The circuit still oscillates if R7 is connected to GV but the duty cycle will change, the output remaining at OV for a longer period than at +10V). With the components as shown the frequency of the output is approximately 0. 025Hz. The multiple amplifiers in the LM3900N device are very suitable for use ln waveform generators at frequencies of up to about 10 kHz. Voltage controlled oscillators (the frequency of which is dependent on an input voltage) can also be designed using the device. A simple square wave generator is shown. The capacitor Cn alternately charges and discharges between voltage limits which are set by R2, R 3 and R4. The circuit is basically of the Schmitt trigger type, the voltages at which triggering occurs being approximately Vt/3 and 2V+/ 3. The time constant T of this circuit is equal to 0. 7 R;C2. Where T is in seconds, R1 in ohms and C2 in farads. For example when R1...
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.....
