The Infrared (IR) LED used in a remote control is an application for an LED Driver that has specific requirements that may exceed the requirements for a typical LED driver application. For this application, the IR LED driver will run off a 9V alkaline battery, which has a range of voltage from 5. 7V to 9. 6V, which is a higher voltage range than typ

ical portable devices. The next requirement is for the frequency of the PWM signal to go as high as 100kHz, which is much higher than the typical PWM frequency of 100Hz. Lastly, the Turn-on and Turn-off time for the IR LED driver need to be less than 1 µsec, while in a typical LED application this CAN be more than 100 µsec. The SP6691 switching Regulator used in this application is typically used as a non-synchronous boost for voltage output or for driving LEDs with a current regulation controlled by the FB pin. In this application, the SP6691 is used in a different configuration to drive an IR LED that CAN be used for a remote control with pulses as fast as 100kHz. To implement such a high frequency, the typical method of controlling the SP6691 with pulses to the EN pin would not be fast enough since the EN pin CAN take about 50 to 100 µsec to begin to turn on the SP6691 output (see figure 1). Another consideration for the SP6691 would be that it is typically a boost Regulator while in this application the input voltage is from a 9V alkaline battery which CAN range from 5. 7V to 9. 6V and the output is an IR LED which needs less than 2. 0V.
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.....
