This circuit changes the average value of the dc supply voltage because of the high switching frequency. The tungsten lamp will have an almost continuous adjustable light output between 0 and 100%..

The 5AH will trigger when the voltage across the two 0 juF capacitors reaches the breakdown voltage of the lamp. Control can be obtained full off to 95% of the half wave RMS output voltage..

This simple circuit providers battery operated emergency lighting instantaneously upon failure of the regular ac service. When line power is restored, the emergency light turns off and the battery recharges automatically. The circuit is ideal for use in....
-
An input signal of less than 1 mA and 1V is required to switch on CS1. As long as this input -signal is maintained, CS1 will conduct during each positive half cycle of anode voltage, thereby energizing load LI with half-wave rectified dc. L2 remains....
-
The shift pulse amplitude is less than 15 volts. If a stage is off, the shift pulse will not be coupled to the next stage. If it is on, the diode will conduct and trigger the next stage. Just prior to the shift pulse the anode supply is interrupted to tum....

This circuit uses a low-input-bias op amp to give a steady dc indication of light level. To reduce circuit sensitivity to light, Rl can be reduced, but should not be less than 100 K..

The meter reading is directlyjproportiona! to the logarithm of the input light power. The logarithmic circuit behavior arises from the nonlineardiode pnjunction current/voltage relationship..

This counter uses a four-digit display, but with a flip of the range switch, it can display frequencies from 1 to 40 MHz, with a resolution of 100Hz. The MM74C926 CMOS IC contains a four-digit decimal counter that can latch a given count and then use this....

The circuit consists of ICM7208 seven-decade counter U1, ICM7207A oscillator controller U2, and CA3130 biFET op amp U3. IC U1 counts input signals, decodes them to 7-segment format, and outputs signals that are used to drive a 7-digit display. IC U2....

This CMOS circuit can be used as a 1-shot time delay switch and general-purpose timer. The circuit consists of a gated oscillator and a latch made from one CD4001 quad 2-input NOR gate as shown and a CD4020 14-stage counter. TON is a function of the....

This circuit can be used to measure frequencies up to 40 MHz. To obtain the correct measured value, it is necessary to divide the oscillator frequency and the input frequency by four. ..

By using the preamplifier with a short length of shielded cable and clip leads, signals that generally could not generate a readout, generate precise and stable readouts on the counter. The DPDT switch is used to bypass the circuit when amplification is....

The output of the CA3179 is fed through the Dl!Q1 circuit. Those components serve to boost the 1-V output of the CA3179 to a standard TTL level. Then, depending on the position of range switch S2b, the signal is passed directly to the 7216, or through the....

Opening SA, changes the indicator lamp from flashing to steady-lit condition. The 6-V incandescent lamp on the collector of Q2 requires about 0.3 A. A 1-KO load resistor limits Ql"s collector current to about 6 mA. ..
-
The circuit is built around two power FETs, which are configured as a simple astable multivibrator to alternately switch the two lamps on and off. The rc values given sets the flash rate to about 1/3 Hz. By varying either the resistor or capacitor....
-
This circuit is suitable for fitting into slide projectors without a dimmer facility as witb 24-Vac fed halogen lamps. With a few small alterations, it can also be used for dimming 12-V halogen lamps, but not those in a car, because these are fed from a de....
-
This pseudorandom sequencer drives a solid-state relay. If you power a low-wattage lamp from the relay, the lamp will appear to flicker like a candle"s flame in the wind; using higher-wattage lamps allows you to simulate the blaze of a fireplace or....
-
The lights seem to dance in time with the music. Line-voltage lamps of about 40 to 100 W do nicely. The current for the lamp is from an SCR. When low-level audio is present across Tl, SCR1 is not triggered into conduction. A louder signal, however,....

Lamp life can be extended by improving the conditions under which its filament is operated. This includes eliminating the inrush overcurrent surge and reduclog the mechanical stress (vibration) on the filament caused by an ac source. The circuit shown....

This circuit uses a PUT for phases control of an SCR. The relaxation oscillator formed by Q2 provides conduction control of Ql from 1 to 7.8 ms or 21.6° to 168.5°. This constitutes control of over 97% of the power available to the load. ..
-
The dimming action is controlled by varying the amount of current passed through triac Q4 and, thus, the lamp plugged into ac receptacle SOL Unijunction transistor Q3 operates as a relaxation oscillator whose output pulse frequency depends on how fast....

At half brightness, the lamp current is pulsed on and off (Fig. 50-12b) by the voltage developed across the resistor and capacitor at the current-sense output. Lamp current is sensed by the current-sense output. A simple pulse-width modulation....

A 1-V amplitude pulse triggers SCSl, but has insufficient amplitude to trigger SCS2. A 3-V input pulse is delayed in reaching SCSl by the 10-KO and .001-!"F integrating network. Instead, it triggers SCS2, then raises the common emitter voltage to prevent....

A three-way switch to control a lamp (off-dim-bright, etc.) uses an NE555 timer to generate a one-second pulse, trigge..

After the SCR turns on, CI charges up to almost the full supply voltage via R3 and the anode of the SCR. Whe..

The ac line power is brought back into the circuit through Fl, a protective 5-A fuse. One side of the ac line is connected to one side of each ac outlet. The other side of the ac line is connected to each SGR or silicon-controlled rectifier. Each SCR is, in....

The automatic porch-light control circuit holds a triac on until a 4020 divider counts a number of 60-Hz powerlinc pulses. The circuit turns off a light after a predetermined time by using pins other than pin 3 of III. Various times can be set...

You can turn any ordinary household bulb into one that shimmers or blinks. This circuit works on any incandescent light up to 200 W, arid runs on standard 120 Vac. The circuit uses an SCR to cause an ordinary lamp to sliimmer. Note that one side of the lamp....
