5V FET Voltage Regulator

This voltage regulator circuit gives a stable 5V output from unregulated inputs (more than 5V). The stability of the output voltage is good enough, only change less than 0.1 volts when the load current changes about 60mA. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: The basic principle of the voltage regulation rely on the mechanism of keeping the the […]

Low Power Under- and Over-Voltage Monitor

This voltage monitor has two  threshold, VTH for undervoltage and VTH’ for overvoltage. Using the component values shown in the schematic diagram below, this circuit give 6V for VTH and 15V for VTH1. Above 6V, the LED indicator of this voltage monitor  circuit will increase the flash rate until reach 15V.  This circuit will stop flashing at voltage below 6V […]

Single Cell Battery Meter Amplifier

A meter amplifier can be designed using LM10 integrated circuit (IC). The accuracy of full-scale sensitivity is good for over 15°C to 155°C at 10mV and 100nA.  Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: R5 is used to correct the offset voltage error, while R4 is  used to balance the bias current. The zero calibration uses the reference voltage […]

Color-Shifting LED Show

This circuit gives a changing-color LED display, where a LED will emit a dynamic shifting color, from red to green smoothly through yellow. The circuit uses NE556 dual timer, equal to two 555 IC but in only one package. The oscillators is set at different frequencies. The high frequency (upper part) is used to construct a PWM signal, and the […]
