1Hz Clock Generator with Chip On Board (COB)

This is the 1Hz clock generator circuit with Chip On Board (COB). Commonly, the circuits to produce 1Hz clock for digital clock and counter circuits applications implement ICs in conjunction with a crystal and trimmer capacitors, etc. Even so, equivalent or improved accuracy could be obtained working with a chip-on-board (COB) device found inside a… Read More »

ADC0808 – Simple Analoque to Digital Converter

ADC0808 – Simple Analoque to Digital Converter This is a very simple analoque to digital converter circuit based on 8-bit analog-to-digital converter ADC0808. Typically analogue-to-digital converter (A/D Converter / ADC) requires interfacing through a microprocessor to convert analogue information into digital format. This needs extra hardware and appropriate software, resulting in more complexity and hence… Read More »

Heat Detector + Siren

This is the diagram of heat detector circuit which already integrated with siren circuit in the output. This circuit applies a complementary pair comprising NPN metallic transistor T1 (BC109) and PNP germanium transistor T2 (AC188) to detect heat (because of outbreak of fire, for example) in the area and activate a siren/alarm. The collector of… Read More »
