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 »

Automatic Switching-on Emergency Light

Automatic Switching-on Emergency Light The schematic diagram shown right here is the automatic switching-on emergency light circuit which is controlled using IC. The most important capabilities of this circuit are: automatic switching-on of the light on main power failure and battery charger with overcharge protection. When mains electrical power is absent, relay RL2 is in… Read More »

DC Motor Speed Controller

This is the schematic diagram of DC motor speed controller circuit. The circuit applies two oscillators/timers which are connected as a Pulse Width Modulator (PWM). The timer chip which applied in this circuit will be an nmos dual timer/oscillator NE556. This timer IC has two 555 timers in a single 14-pin IC package.
