Touch Switch Monostable/Timer with 555 IC

A schematic diagram of a touch switch circuit is shown below. This circuit consist of timer, one shoot multivibrator and touch terminal. As timer, this circuit uses 555 timer which is connected to one-shot multivibrator. The touch terminal is used to trigger this circuit. The output of this  circuit can be used to drive a power transistor, CMOS circuitry, hexFET […]

Touch Switch Data Input Interface

This is an interface circuit for digital data input. This circuit consist of touch button, op-amp, diode, capacitor and resistors. Any conductor surface can be used as the touch probe, such as a machine-screw head having comparable area around 0.5-inch-square or similar area of any pattern on printed-circuit board. This circuit need a DC power supply that is produced by […]

Separate ON-OFF Touch Switch

This schematic diagram is about touch switch circuit.  Separate ON and OFF switch improves the ergonomics for safety, since the touching off button when the state is off doesn’t make the system acts in the opposite way: turning ON the system. This accident usually happens when we make wrong assumption of the current state about ON or OFF of the […]
