LEDs Temperature Indicator

A well-known IC LM35 is chosen to be the temperature sensor in this circuit. Output voltage of LM35 will increase by 10mV per degree rise in temperature. Output of LM35 is joined to the non inverting input of the operational amplifier (op-amp) of CA3130. The inverting input of the same op-amp could be provided using the required reference voltage using variable resistor R2.

LED Pilot Light using FET

This is the LED pilot light (or LED indicator) circuit. LEDs (Light Emitting Diode) part are interesting things. They only operate at DC supply within specific tolerances, and generally connected with a current limiting resistor towards the power source. Rather than a resistor, it is possible to use a FET (Field Effect Transistor) like the… Read More »

Six LED Stereo VU Display

The following image is the scheme diagram of six LED stereo VU display circuit which build using Dot/Bar Display Driver IC LM3915. This VU display should be connected before amplifier module circuit. You may connect this circuit at pre-amp output, tone control input/output or equaliser input/output. This circuit powered with 12V DC supply. About LM3915:… Read More »
