Simple Sixteen Way Clap Operated Switch Circuit Diagram

This is a Simple Sixteen Way Clap-Operated Switch Circuit Diagram. Control your home appliances without getting out of your bed. You just have to clap in the vicinity of the microphone used in this circuit, which you can keep by the bedside. You can switch on/off up to four different electrical equipment (TV, fan, light, etc) in 16 different ways.This circuit is built around timer IC 555 (IC1), CMOS IC 74LS93 (IC2) and five BC547 npn transistors (T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5). Transistor T1 is used as the preamplifier and the rest are used for driving the relays.

Sixteen Way Clap-Operated Switch Circuit Diagram

A small condenser microphone is connected at the base of transistor T1, which is biased from resistor R1 (10 kilo-ohms). The clapping sound is converted into electrical energy by the microphone and amplified by transistor T1. The transistor output is fed to the monostable circuit wired around IC 555. Output pin 3 of the timer is connected to the clock input of divide-by-16 IC 74LS93.The outputs of IC2 are fed to npn transistors T2, T3, T4 and T5 via 100ohm resistors to drive relays RL1, RL2, RL3 and RL4 connected to appliances 1 though 4, respectively. Freewheeling diodes D1 through D4 connected across the relays protect the transistors from the back electromagnetic field (e.m.f.) produced by the relays.The output states of IC 74LS93 (Q0 through Q3) for different numbers of claps are shown in the table.

The circuit is powered from regulated 5V DC. For testing the circuit, disconnect the resistors from the outputs of IC2 and connect four LEDs in series with 220-ohm resistors between the outputs and ground. Now switch on the power supply and clap near the microphone. You can see the four LEDs glowing in the manner shown in the table. A reset push switch is provided to switch off all the ‘on’ devices. Now you can connect the desired appliances to the relays and control them with your claps.

Block diagram of AM transmitter and receiver with explanation

Block diagram of AM transmitter and receiver with explanation AM Transmitter : Transmitters that transmit AM signals are known as AM transmitters. These transmitters are used in medium wave (MW) and short wave (SW) frequency bands for AM broadcast. The MW band has frequencies between 550 KHz and 1650 KHz, and the SW band has frequencies ranging from 3 MHz to 30 MHz. The two types of AM transmitters that are used based on their transmitting powers are: · High Level · Low Level High level transmitters use high level modulation, and low level transmitters use low level modulation. The choice between the two modulation schemes depends on the transmitting power of the AM transmitter. In broadcast transmitters, where the transmitting power may be of the order of kilowatts, high level modulation is employed. In low power transmitters, where only a few watts of transmitting power are required , low...

Using the TLP250 Isolated MOSFET Driver Explanation and Example Circuits

I’ve already shown how to drive an N-channel MOSFET (or even an IGBT) in both high-side and low-side configurations in a multitude of ways. I’ve also explained the principles of driving the MOSFETs in these configurations. The dedicated drivers I’ve shown so far are the TC427 and IR2110. Some people have requested me to write up on MOSFET drive using the very popular TLP250. And I’ll explain that here. The TLP250, like any driver, has an input stage, an output stage and a power supply connection. What’s special about the TLP250 is that the TLP250 is an optically isolated driver, meaning that the input and output are “optically isolated”. The isolation is optical – the input stage is an LED and the receiving output stage is light sensitive (think “photodetector”). Before delving any further, let’s look at the pin configuration and the truth table. Fig. 1 - TLP250 Pin Configuration Fig. 2 - TLP250 Truth Table Fig. 1 clearly shows the input LED side and the receiving photodetector as well...
