3-6V Xenon Strobe Light by IC 555 and IRF9Z20


3-6V Xenon Strobe Light by IC 555 and IRF9Z20

This circuit used to come as a kit from a surplus supplier, but probably isn’t available anymore. It shows a few novel concepts such as using a 555 as a pulse width modulator (PWM), and series/parallel camera flash transformers.
The 555 is set up as a pulse width modulator (the off (low) time being set by the trimmer). The output at pin 3 is connected to the gate of the P-channel MOSFET (IRF9Z20) through the 100R resistor to prevent parasitic oscillation of the transistor. A low signal at pin 3 causes the MOSFET to turn on, thus the potentiometer controls the output power, and somewhat the flash frequency, by varying the duty cycle of the 555 and in turn the MOSFET

A flyback converter high voltage supply by 555

The circuit diagram of the flyback converter will hold no surprises (Fig.16). Literally the only difference with the boost converter is that the inductor is replaced by a transformer, and that the transistor has been replaced for a BUZ21. The BUZ21 has a much lower on resistance (Ron=0.085 ohm) as compared to the BUZ41A (Ron=1.5 ohm) but also a lower drain-source breakdown voltage (100V versus 500V)

12VDC Negative Voltage DC Converter by 555


The circuit is very simple, and is easily made on Veroboard or similar. Construction is not critical, and the schematic is shown in Figure 1 below.
Rectifier diodes should be ultrafast (UF4004 or similar), or you can use 1N4148 signal diodes. Losses will be slightly higher if you use signal diodes, or lower if you wanted to go to the trouble of using Schottky diodes – the latter are not warranted in such a simple circuit (IMO). The zener diode is to protect the circuit against transient overvoltage, and is optional
Using only a standard NE555 timer and a few other parts, this circuit should be up an running in about an hour. The 555 is configured as a minimum parts count astable (i.e. no stable states) multivibrator, and runs at around 17kHz with the values shown. The zener diode (D3) should be a 16V/ 1W type. Resistors are 1/2W carbon film, and small caps may be polyester or mylar

100 Seconds Duration On Switch with Touch Control by 555

This is a touch control switch which keeps the circuit on about 100 seconds after touching the plate connected to the 2 numbered pin. At the end of this time duration, relay releases and the circuit gets to off position.

The impedance of the trigger input of the 555 timer IC is very high and the inductive voltage on the human body is enough to trigger it. The circuit works based on this principle. You can use a piece of metal as a plate. The circuit can be used in toy circuits, buzzers or any project that is suitable. You can adjust the duration time by changing the R1 and C1 values

12V to 18V step-up DC converter by IC 555


12V to 18V step-up DC converter by IC 555

This is a power source that creates a DC voltage higher than the voltage feeding the it. It might be used to power your laptop (+18V) from a car battery (12V ~ 13.8V). It is built using very ordinary parts that should be readily available. Here are some specs:

Input voltage 9V ~ 15V
Output voltage 12V ~ 25V
Output current Max. 3A @18V
Switching frequency 20kHz – 40kHz
Efficiency 65% – 95%

If you know these circuits, please skip the following. The circuit is a step-up converter, and it’s workings can be explained by the main property of a coil: its inductance. Imagine a current flowing through a coil. The inductance will cause the current to continue running, even if the power supply that caused this current is taken away. The voltage across the coil will take any value required to keep the current running. This is why you can easily create sparks with a coil, a spark is simply a current flowing at a very high voltage.

This circuit flips between two states: ‘charging’ the coil with current, and dumping this current into the output capacitor. The frequency at which this happens is so high that only a small ripple remains at the output capacitor (10000uF). Here is the circuit

Drive SCR thyristor by IC 555


Drive SCR thyristor by IC 555

This circuit gives a burst of pulses to fire 2 SCRs, when pin 4 is taken to 12V the SCR is turned on, to use this circuit you need 12V short pulses phase shifted with respect to AC sine wave on bridge.

This way you can control the bridge from near 0% to near 100% ON, that way battery banks can be charged, electroplating can be done, current and voltage can be controlled with opamps, thyristors are very rugged compared to transistors and MOSFETS in that order

555 timer pulse generator


To drive ignition coils is to use a 555 timer pulse generator. A 555 generates a square wave output that triggers the 2N3055. Adjusting the two potentiometers and the value of the capacitor will change the frequency of the output.

Flyback Transformer Based high voltage generators


Flyback Transformer Based high voltage generators

Uses a 555 timer IC to generate a 720Hz triangle waveform (at pin 2 of the IC). This waveform is of about 50% duty cycle. This triangle waveform is compared to a fixed voltage with a comparator, IC2. The fixed voltage can be varied by potentiometer VR1. The output of the comparator is a 720Hz square wave of variable duty cycle. The potentiometer must be adjusted so that Q2 is near to 0% duty cycle (ie it spends the majority of the time off)

12V input, 12V battery charger by 555,7815


12V input, 12V battery charger by 555,7815

The charger consists of two stages: The first is a capacitive voltage doubler, which uses a 555 timer IC driving a pair of transistors
connected as emitter followers, which in turn drive the voltage doubler proper. The doubler has power resistors built in, which limit the charging current.

The second stage is a voltage regulator, using a 7815 regulator IC. Its output is applied to the battery via a diode, which prevents reverse current and also lowers the voltage a bit. The resulting charge voltage is about 14.4V, which is fine for charging a gelled or AGM battery to full charge, but is too high as a trickle charger, so don’t leave this charger permanently connected to a battery. If you would like to do just that, then add a second diode in series with D3!

There is a LED connected as a charge indicator. It will light when the charge current is higher than about 150mA. The maximum charge current will be roughly 400mA

SOLID STATE TESLA COIL WITH 555 TIMER


SOLID STATE TESLA COIL WITH 555 TIMER

Setting the operating frequency with an integrated timer is easy and practical. Following schematic is nothing more than the standard astable mode circuit design with a classic 555. It requires only two resistors and a capacitor to set frequency (with duty cycle of course) and another resistor to determine power transistor’s base current, which you can find it’s optimal value experimentally. I used 1K for R1, 2.2K for R2, and 10nF for C which made circuit to run nearly at 27 kHz theoretically, at %60 high to %40 low duty cycle. You can quickly calculate operating parameters from the resistance and capacitor values with a small program that I’ve written

Ignition coil driver by IC 555 + 2N3055


Ignition coil driver by IC 555 + 2N3055

Here is a very simple circuit that will provide high voltage (15-40kV) sparks using a common ignition coil. The input is 12VDC at around 5 to 6 amps. Mine produces sparks that are about 3/4″ to 1″ in length. A 2N3055 NPN power transistor is pulsed with a square wave signal that comes from the 555 timer IC. The frequency of the pulses depends on the resistors between pins 7 and 8 and between pins 7 and 6. The pulse is also dependent on the capacitor. You can experiment with these values. Try inserting a smaller capacitor to raise the frequency. At different frequencies the sparks will change certain characteristics. At a high frequency the sparks will get fatter but shorter in length. At lower frequencies the spark maybe longer but thinner. I assembled my project on a solderless breadboard. You can use whatever you like. The capacitor should be a tantalum or mylar type, but this is not absolutely necessary. A ceramic type should work fine just as long as the temperature is not too high around it

Efficient flyback driver by IC 555 + IRF510


Efficient flyback driver circuit by IC 555 + IRF510

This is a good and fairly efficient flyback driver circuit. All parts can be obtained easily from Radio Shack, including the MOSFET. This circuit uses a 555 timer IC to pulse a 2N2222 with square wave at a frequency that is set by the capacitor and the potentiometers. The 2N2222 then drives the gate of the MOSFET and the MOSFET delivers the pulse to the ten turn winding on the flyback. If you build this circuit you will have to adjust the potentiometers until you get the longest arc possible. The circuit will run from +12VDC to +15VDC at about 3A. The MOSFET must be heatsinked! This is important if you are going to run this for any decent amount of time. If the MOSFET still gets too hot or burns up you can place a 4 ohm (for a +12V supply) or a 5 ohm (for a +15V supply) between the source lead of the MOSFET and the primary on the flyback. Make sure that these resistors havethe proper power rating for the voltage and current that they will be carrying. The flyback should be wound with ten turns of 14-16 guage solid wire. Anchor it in with some electrical tape. Any previous primary windind should have already been removed before winding the new one

We need however many times to replacement some old switch or to check currents bigger than the durability of certain switches or simple we need something with modern appearance. For he and different reasons is essential the up circuit. He is simple in the manufacture and the materials that use they exist everywhere. This based in the known 555, which drives a relay of which the contacts play the role of switch. The metal surfaces can have what form we want, but it should they are clean and near in the circuit. In order to it changes situation it suffices touch soft somebody from the two plates. Plate JF1 in order to the contacts of RL1 close [ON] or plate JF2 in order to the contacts of RL1 open [OFF]. The current that RL1 will check depended from his contacts. The Led D2 turns on when the switch they are in place ON and the contacts of RL1 closed.

Infrared Remote Control System Receiver


Infrared Remote Control System Receiver By IC Digital

Infrared Remote Control System Receiver By IC Digital
This is a single channel (on / off) universal switch that may be used with any Infra Red remote control that uses wavelengths between 850-950nm.

Notes:
Any “button” of any remote control may be used to work this universal switch. The button must be pressed for two seconds (determined by R3 and C2) before the relay will operate. Once operated the circuit will remain in this state (latched) until reset. To reset, any button is pressed and held for the delay.
For example, if you were watching TV, and your set was tuned to Channel 3, you could press and hold the TV remote controls channel 3 button for two seconds. That way the TV viewing would not be affected and the relay would activate. You can connect anything to the relay, for example a lamp, but make sure that the relay contacts can handle the rated voltage and current.

Circuit Operation:
IC1 is an Infra Red module. IR modulated pulses are received and buffered by this IC. It has a standard TTL output, the output with no signal is logic 1. One gate of a CMOS inverter and drives Red LED1 as a visible switching aid. Another gate buffers the signal and applies it to the time constant circuit, comprising R3,C2,R4 and D1. C2 charges via R3, and discharges via R4, D1 prevents quick discharge via the low output impedance of the CMOS buffer

Generating -5 Volts From a 9 Volt Battery With IC 555


Generating -5 Volts From a 9 Volt Battery With IC 555

A 555 timer can be used to generate a squarewave to produce a negative voltage relative to the negative battery terminal. When the timer output at pin 3 goes positive, the series 22 uF capacitor charges through the diode (D1) to about 8 volts. When the output switches to ground, the 22 uF cap discharges through the second diode (D2) and charges the 100 uF capacitor to a negative voltage. The negative voltage can rise over several cycles to about -7 volts but is limited by the 5.1 volt zener diode which serves as a regulator. Circuit draws about 6 milliamps from the battery without the zener diode connected and about 18 milliamps connected. Output current available for the load is about 12 milliamps. An additional 5.1 volt zener and 330 ohm resistor could be used to regulate the +9 down to +5 at 12 mA if a symmetrical +/- 5 volt supply is needed. The battery drain would then be around 30 mA

IC Digital 555 Pulse Generator

Notes:
The NE555 and the First Pulse

The first positive pulse from a classic 555-based oscillator is always 1.6 times longer than the following pulses. The difference is caused by the fact that only during the first cycle C2 starts charging up from 0 V. This is generally not a problem, but sometimes this first pulse just should be the same length as the rest – at least approximately

The third circuit simulates the Red Alert siren from the TV show Star Trek. It uses two 555 timers in the circuit. The 555 on the right is wired as an alarm tone generator and the second 555 timer on the left is wired as a 1.5 second non-symmetrical astable that generates a fast rising but slow falling saw tooth waveform. This waveform is buffered by the transistor and used to frequency modulate the tone generator and making its frequency rise slowly during the falling parts of the saw tooth but collapse rapidly during the rising part of the saw tooth. The output starts as a low frequency, rises for 1.15 seconds to a high tone, ceases for .35 seconds and then repeats the cycle.
