12V to 220V Converter Circuit

This
DIY 12V to 220V voltage converter is build with CMOS 4047 that is the
main component of this small voltage converter that transforms a 12V DC into 220V AC.
4047 is used as a astable mutivibrator, at pins 10 and 11 will have a
symmetrical rectangular signal wich is amplified b 2 Darlington
transistors and finally reach the secondary coil of mains transformer (
2x10V / 60VA ).
At the main voltage converter transformer terminals it will be 220V.
With
the help of P1 the output frequency can be adjusted between 50Hz to
400Hz. Although this is not part of any professional dc ac converters
it can be used quite effective on some home appliances.

12V Flourescent Lamp Inverter

Fluorescent tubes use far less energy than incandescent lamps and fluorescent tubes last a great deal longer as well. Other advantages are diffuse, glare-free lighting and low heat output. For these reasons, fluorescent lighting is the natural choice in commercial and retail buildings, workshops and factories. For battery-powered lighting, fluorescent lights are also the first choice because of their high efficiency. The main drawback with running fluorescent lights from battery power is that an inverter is required to drive the tubes.

12V Fluorescent Lamp Inverter Circuit diagram:

12-volt-flourescent-lamp-Inverter-circuit

Fig.1: two switch-mode circuits are involved here: the DC-DC inverter involving IC1, Q1 & Q2 and the fluoro tube driver which converts high voltage DC to AC via IC3 and Q3 & Q4 in a totem-pole circuit.
Inverter efficiency then becomes the major issue. There are many commercial 12V-operated fluorescent lamps available which use 15W and 20W tubes. However, it is rare to see one which drives them to full brilliance. For example, a typical commercial dual 20W fluorescent lamp operating from 12V draws 980mA or 11.8W. Ignoring losses in the fluorescent tube driver itself, it means that each tube is only supplied with 5.9W of power which is considerably less than their 20W rating. So while the lamps do use 20W tubes, the light output is well below par.

Warning:
This circuit generates in excess of 300V DC which could be lethal. Construction should only be attempted by those experimenced with mains-level voltages and safety procedures.

230 V AC To 400 V DC Power Supply Circuit Diagram


Description

               A lot of students are who dont know how to convert 230 volt AC to 400 DC. So today I am published   230 V AC to 400 V DC circuit diagram on my blog. Working principle of this circuit diagram is very simple. You already knew the working principle of a bridge rectifier. This circuit is same as bridge rectifier and the working principle is also same. The fuse is used to protect the circuit, if the current is greater than 1 A.

LED Bar Off Indicator

The simple indicator presented in this article may be combined, in principle, with any circuit that contains an LED bar display driven by a Type LM3914 IC. It ensures that an LED will light when all LEDs driven by the LM3914 are out. This prevents one drawing the erroneous conclusion that, since all the LEDs are out, the circuit is switched off. The circuit then continues to draw current, which, especially if it is battery powered, costs unnecessary money, apart from other considerations. The LED in the monitor draws a current of only 1 mA. When the LEDs forming the bar, D1–D10 are all out, there is no potential difference across R3, so that T1 is off and T2 is on.

LED Bar Off IndicatorThis results in T3, in conjunction with R5 and the internal reference voltage of IC1, to form a current source that causes a constant current to flow through D11 so that the diode lights. When on of diodes D1–D10 lights, a potential difference ensues across R3, which causes T1 to come on. This results in T2 being switched off so that there is no collector current through T3. Consequently, there is no feedback at the emitter of T3, so that the current through R2 rises appreciably. The current through R2 determines the current through the LEDs in the bar. Therefore, when T3 is enabled, the current through R2, and thus the total current in the circuit, is reduced considerably.

Simple Tester For IC 555



Timer IC 555 multipurpose has habit to emerge in so many various wide circuits. Because of this is very useful small components, hence this component becomes very popular in the last few years. Though IC 555 in general hardly relied on, but sometimes happened also error. Circuit designed here will give way of simple and effective to do assaying of damage component. The timer which wish to be tested ( 555), connected as multivibrators is unstable (free running). If nipple SW1 is depressed closed, hence condenser C1 will start loaded [by] through preventive reactor R1 and R2. Soon after strain level at this condenser reach point of timer launch, hence internal of flip-flop will be moved and pin 7 is degraded its the strain to empty C1.



Reset flip-flop when strain C1 reachs threshold level IC. This thing causes boosts pin 7 and impregnation cycle starts again. Output timer (pin3) attributed to a couple of LED. If high output of LED D2 will on and D1 will turn off. On the contrary, when low output of D1 will on and D2 is off. LED will wink if IC in good condition.



For reader having other application and wish to change its (the frequency, hence speed of LED is determined the value by value from R1, R2, and C1. Frequency countable oscillation passed formula:







If R2 far bigger than R1, hence its the frequency can be estimated from formula following:





Value to showed in circuit, oscillation frequency around 0,5 Hz. Test device can be designed considerably compact with soldering all components directly at test collar IC, firstly is attached through aperture at hole surface of box device which will be used. In rotation, all components can be attached at as of slab PCB. Usage of current a minimum and can be supplied from a battery 9V.

BC557 based Flashing Eyes circuit with explanation

 BC557 based Flashing Eyes circuit with explanation
Two-LED-eyes follow the rhythm of music or speech, 3V Battery-operated device suitable for pins or badges
This
circuit was purposely designed as a funny Halloween gadget. It should
be placed to the rear of a badge or pin bearing a typical Halloween
character image, e.g. a pumpkin, skull, black cat, witch, ghost etc.
Two LEDs are fixed in place of the eyes of the character and will shine
more or less brightly following the rhythm of the music or speech
picked-up from surroundings by a small microphone. Two transistors
provide the necessary amplification and drive the LEDs.
Parts:
R1 = 10K
R2 = 1M
R3 = 1K
C1 = 4.7uF-25V
C2 = 47uF-25V
D1 = 2mm LED
D2 = 2mm LED
Q1 = BC547
Q2 = BC557
B1 = 3V Battery
SW1 = SPST Switch
MIC1 = Electret Mic
Notes:

* Any general purpose, small signal transistor can be used for Q1 and
Q2, but please note that R3 could require adjustment, depending on
the gain of Q1. For medium gain transistors, the suggested value should
do the job. High gain transistors will require a lower value for R3,
i.e. about 390 – 470 Ohm. You can substitute R3 with a 1K Trimmer in
order to set precisely the threshold of the circuit.
* Any LED type and color can be used, but small, 2mm diameter, high efficiency LEDs will produce a better effect.
* No limiting resistors are required for D1 and D2 even if this could seem incorrect.
* Stand-by current consumption of the circuit is about 1.5mA.
* Depending on dimensions of your badge, you can choose from a wide variety of battery types:
* 2 x 1.5 V batteries type: AA, AAA, AAAA, button clock-type, photo-camera type & others.
* 2 x 1.4 V mercury batteries, button clock-type.
