The diagram below illustrates the high level connections required to drive a single 7-segment display on the scoreboard. The below circuit was repeated 4 times - once for each of the four 7-segment LED displays. Each circuit takes a single data line as its....

Here`s a power-on time delay relay circuit that takes advantage of the emitter/base breakdown voltage of an ordinary bi-polar transistor. The reverse connected emitter/base junction of a 2N3904 transistor is used as an 8 volt zener diode which creates a....

A 1Hz pulse/frequency generator using the popular timer IC 555 which is wired as an Astable Multivibrator. The output pulses can be indicated visually by the LED. An Astable Multivibrator, often called a free-running Multivibrator, is a rectangular-wave....

Using the 555 timer as an oscillator in the high voltage power supply section. Can the design be changed to use an output from the micro-controller to generate an oscillating signal instead of the 555. The first question is that would such a design work If....

This is a circuit of Voltage-to-Pulse Duration Converter. This circuit is used to convert voltage into pulse duration by combining a timer IC and an OP Amp..

The 555 Timer shown below is configured as an 555 Astable Multivibrator previously discussed. However additional components have been added to enhance the operation of the circuit. As soon as the circuit is powered up the 555 will begin producing a square....

A relay, which is energised by pulling the low side low using an NPN. I would like a pushbutton to operate the transistor (and therefore the relay) for a time (500ms ish) then deactivate it and wait for the next push (ignoring the button if held). I....

A simple and efficient PWM lamp dimmer using timer IC NE555 is discussed in this article. Yesterdays linear regulator based dimmerscan only attain a maximum efficiency of 50% and are far inferior when compared to the PWM based dimmers which can hit well....

The 555 Timer IC worked in three operating modes: monostable, astable and bistable/scmitt trigger. Here we will provide you with article of its astable mode...
