However, for applications needing many LEDs, this becomes extravagantly inefficient and it is tempting to keep the voltage drop across the resistor as small as possible. That leads to poor control of the current. ICs such as the MM5450 and its relatives and.... -
This circuit reproduces the starting light sequence currently used by FISA for Formula One racing. It could be used with slot car sets (such as HO scale AFX/Life Like/Tyco sets) or radio controlled cars. IC1, a 555 timer IC, is used as a clock pulse.... -
Most dimmers use pulse width modulation (PWM) to control the amount of power that is delivered to the lamp. Those that come bundled with a switch faceplate control the firing angle of a Triac on the 240V mains side. These work fine with resistive loads but.... -
This toy traffic signal uses a single low-cost hex Schmitt-trigger inverter IC (IC1a-IC1f) to directly drive three coloured LEDs (red, green and amber). At switch-on, the circuit lights the red signal for 30s, then shows green for 6s, then amber for 3s. It.... -

The design of the charger is similar to that of many commercially available chargers. The charger consists of a mains adaptor, two resistors and a light-emitting diode (LED). In practical use, this kind of charger is perfectly all right. Resistor R1 serves.... -
A simple NiCd charger can be built using junk box` components and an inexpensive LM317 or 78xx voltage regulator. Using a current limiter composed of R3 and a transistor, it can charge as many cells as desired until a fully charged` voltage determined by the.... -
The schematic for a monostable multivibrator is shown below. Like the astable multivibrator, one transistor conducts and the other cuts off when the circuit is energized. Recall that when the astable multivibrator was first energized, it was impossible to.... -

TDA2030 is a circuit integrated monolithic in Pentawat ® package, to be used as class audio amplifier AB. Typically he supplies up to 14 Watts of potency (d=0. 5%) @ 14V/4 ©. The guaranteed potency is 12W in a load of 4 © and 8 watts in a load of 8 ©..... -
The TDA2040 is a monolithic integrated circuit in Pentawatt package, intended for use as an audio class AB amplifier. Typically it provides 22W output power (d = 0. 5%) at Vs = 32V/4. The TDA2040 provides high output current and has very low harmonic and.... -
LM4782 uses the system of protection of National Self Peak Instantaneous Temperature ( Ke) (SPiKeTM). Spike protects the exit of the lm4782 of on tension on load, short of the source for gnd, temperature protection and picks instantaneous of temperature..... -
The LM1875 delivers 20 watts into a 4 or 8 load on ±25V supplies. Using an 8 load and ±30V supplies, over 30 watts of power may be delivered. The amplifier is designed to operate with a minimum of external components. Device overload protection consists of.... -
The internal mute circuit and pre-set gain resistors provide for a very economical design solution. Output power specifications at both 20V and 24V supplies and low external component count offer high value to consumer electronic manufacturers for stereo TV.... -
The lm1875 is a monolithic audio amplifier that offers a very low distortion and a performance of high quality for projects of audio amplifiers. The lm1875 supplies 20 watts in loads of 4 Ohms or 8 Ohms... -
He only contributes with 3. 2nV/ HZ of noise tension and 0. 45pA/ HZ of current noise to the circuit. To minimize the noise of other sources, R3 it is configured for 100 ©. That generates tension of noise additional of only 1. 3nV/ HZ. R1, R2, c1, and c @.... -
