The IC will switch over to the backup battery when it detects that the pass transistor for the main voltage input is in danger of no longer being able to maintain the required output voltage. The device then smoothly switches over to the backup battery. The open-drain status output BACKUP goes low to indicate when this has occurred. When neither battery is able to maintain the output voltage at the desired level the open-drain output DROPOUT goes low. The LT1579 can operate with input voltages of up to +20 V from the batteries. The regulator output OUT is short-circuit proof. The shutdown input switches off the output; if this feature is not required, the input can simply be left open.

Audio VU Level Meter Circuit with LM324
The 1K resistors in the circuit are capital so that the LEDs about-face on at altered audio levels. There is no acumen why you cant change these resistors, although annihilation aloft 5K may account some of the LEDs to never about-face on. This ambit is calmly abundant with added op-amps, and is not bound to use with the LM324. Pretty abundant any op-amp will assignment as continued as you attending up the pinouts and accomplish abiding aggregate is appropriately connected.
The 33K resistor on the schematic is to accumulate the arresting ascribe to the ambit at a low level. It is absurd you will acquisition a 33K resistor, so the abutting you can get should do. The amount of this resistor may charge to be changed, so it is best you breadboard this ambit afore absolutely amalgam it on PCB. The ambit in its accepted anatomy will acquire band akin inputs from sources such as the aux out on a Hi-Fi, all admitting could be calmly adapted to acquire apostle inputs.
The audio + is affiliated to the capital absolute rail, while the audio - is acclimated for arresting input. The 50k pot can be acclimated to alter the acuteness of the circuit.

DC motor 12V speed controller circuit with explanation

A very simple encoder circuit for a dc motor can be constructed using this circuit diagram . As you can see in the circuit diagram , the system shown consists of the HA-2542, a small 12-Vdc motor, and a position encoder. During operation, the encoder causes a series of constant-width" pulses to charge CI. The integrated pulses develop a reference voltage, which is proporţional to motor speed and is applied to the inverting input of HA-2542, The noninverting input is held at a constant voltage, which represents the desired motor speed. A difference between these two inputs will send a corrected drive signal to the motor, which completes the speed control system loop.
As you can see the circuit requires few external components , but because of the encoder wheel it has a limitations of use .If you put a pulley under the encoder wheel you can command the speed of other device , by connecting the (motor and other device ) using a belt

Battery Switch With Low Dropout Regulator
The IC will switch over to the backup battery when it detects that the pass transistor for the main voltage input is in danger of no longer being able to maintain the required output voltage. The device then smoothly switches over to the backup battery. The open-drain status output BACKUP goes low to indicate when this has occurred. When neither battery is able to maintain the output voltage at the desired level the open-drain output DROPOUT goes low. The LT1579 can operate with input voltages of up to +20 V from the batteries. The regulator output OUT is short-circuit proof. The shutdown input switches off the output; if this feature is not required, the input can simply be left open.

Safe Oscillator For Watch Crystals circuit with explanation
This circuit was developed to allow watch crystals to be used in an existing CMOS oscillator circuit that was to run from a 12V supply. The problem is that these crystals only work up to a supply voltage of about 6V. Any more than that and the crystal will be over-driven, causing it to shatter. This circuit solves the problem by using LEDs 1 & 2 and a 470nF capacitor (C3) to limit the drive to the crystal to about 4V peak-to-peak. Note that it may be necessary to adjust C1 & C2 to ensure reliable start-up and stable oscillation with some crystals. However, the C1:C2 ratio should be maintained. As a bonus, the two LEDs both glow, giving a visual indication that the oscillator is working.
The relatively high values used here for capacitors C1 & C2 will load the crystal, which means that the oscillator will run at less than the nominal crystal frequency (32.768kHz).

DMOS mono amplifier 100W with TDA7294
Wiring diagram
Capacitors C7 and C9 improve the stability of the RF amplifiers zákmitům. Resistor R3 between 2 and 14 outlets providing negative feedback as DC (stabilizes the working point, respectively. DC voltage at the output), and together with R2 alternating link. It determines the overall gain, reduces distortion and balances characteristic frequency amplifiers. Here listed are recommended by the manufacturer, to achieve the best parameters, but if necessary, within certain limits vary. For example, if you need to limit the performance of amplifiers because of a smaller cooler or have loudspeaker systems for smaller performances and to prevent their destruction, just increase R2 value, or reducing the value of R3 reduce gain. DC capacitor C1 separates from the amplifier input signal sources that had no direct working point amplifiers. Through switches and resistors R4 and R5 will bring tension to STBY (Stand By) and MUTE. C3 and C4 allow continuous activation and deactivation of these functions.
Place PCB PT002 (supplied with green nepájivou mask, printing components and drilling machine CNC), which is designed to be received from the external environment as far as possible to interference and match proudovému load. Therefore, the power and output connections as broad as possible. It is used cuprex FR4 with 35μm strong copper foil.
Order mounting: 1st capacitors, resistors 2nd MKT 5 mm 3rd terminals 4th switches 5th other capacitors 6th TDA7294
DA7294 pájejte last try, and the shortest possible time. Pájejte conscientiously so as to avoid cold couplings. Across-the-board connection through the large currents, only high-quality construction makes the minimum risk. Connection output signal is limited in one place. There is no pattern nanesena nepájivá. At this point apply a drop of tin to improve the conductivity and the possibility of a larger load without the risk of burning the journey. You have two ways to complete construction:
A: not intend to use the features STBY and MUTE. Then switch SW1 and 2 zapájíte directly into the joints and their situation will be running for the top amplifiers. In this connection, which is based directly from the diagram, you can only disable the function, rather than immediately turn on. Can be activated only by switching radio before switching on the amplifier and the spent condensers. Use: for animation, when we want to measure sleep donation but later exploit these features.
B: Do you intend to use the features. In this case, the switch will not be soldered into the joints (logically, not because of any change to open the box or combo), but lead out through the wires (included). In this engagement - see the picture, are optional features, the possibility of activation and deactivation at any time during the operation. SW2 se zapojuje stejně jako SW1. SW2 is involved as well as SW1. When the two structures is necessary in the terminals MT and SB bring positive supply voltage.
The last thing it should be in construction to make, is attached aluminum profile, which allows direct attachment to the metal skříním and easier attachment coolers. The body must be first navrtat - in the middle of a hole for attaching IO, d = 3mm, with navrtáním d = 6mm in the rear of one quarter of units for flush screw head to the back wall to enclose the entire area to chladícímu element. Then, just as necessary drill holes on the edges of the profile. And again, for example, d = 3 mm, the zavrtáním d = 6mm in one quarter (2.5 mm) of its thickness. See the real picture above. Adequate evacuation of heat from ICs provide aluminum plate on the surface 0,75 dm 2 and a thickness of 5 mm. There are screws and nuts to facilitate the handling of the plate mounted amplifier in the animation. Thermal resistance of external cooler: 0.8 K / W.

555 Timer Circuit With Variable On Off Times
This circuit enables the on/off times of a 555 timer to be independently varied over a wide range. This is not possible with a conventional 555 circuit with the RC network being charged from the positive supply rail and discharged via pin 7. Instead, the capacitor at pins 2 & 6 of IC1 is charged and discharged from the output at pin 3. Furthermore, the charging and discharging circuits are different, being isolated by diodes D1 & D2.

555 Timer Circuit Diagram With Variable On/Off Times
Therefore the capacitor at pins 2 & 6 is charged via diode D2 and trimpot VR2 and discharged via D1 and trimpot VR1. With this arrangement you can have very long on times combined with very short off times and vice versa, or you can adjust the duty cycle to exactly 50% and so on. This circuit also employs a second 555 timer (IC2) as an inverter so that complementary pulses are available, if required. If not, delete IC2.
