Simple 8 Random Flashing LEDs


This project flashes eight LEDs in an apparently random manner. It uses a 4060 combined counter and display driver IC which is designed for driving 7-segment LED displays.

Simple 8 Random Flashing LEDs

The sequence is not really random because seven of the LEDs would normally be the display segments, the eighth LED is driven by an output that is normally used for driving further counters. The table below shows the sequence for the LEDs. You can use less than eight LEDs if you wish and the table may help you decide which ones to use for your purpose.

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...

Audio signal processing IC for 1 5 V headphone stereo

General Description: The AN7500FHQ is a single chip IC optimum for a 1.5 V headphone stereo system including pre-amp., power amp. and Dolby B type noise reduction circuit. Current consumption in a Dolby circuit off mode has been drastically reduced and an operating supply voltage has also been lowered to 0.98 V. Much fewer external components  have been realized due to an integration of audio signal processing system into a single chip circuitry in a small outline package and space saving mounting of a set.
