Simple Electronic Code Lock

The circuit diagram of a simple electronic code lock is shown in figure. A 9-digit code number is used to operate the code lock.When power supply to the circuit is turned on, a positive pulse is applied to the RESET pin (pin 15) through capacitor C1. Thus, the first output terminal Q1 (pin 3) of the decade counter IC (CD 4017) will be high and all other outputs (Q2 to Q10) will be low. To shift the high state from Q1 to Q2, a positive pulse must be applied at the clock input terminal (pin 14) of IC1. This is possible only by pressing the push-to-on switch S1 momentarily.

Simple Electronic Code Lock Circuit Diagram

On pressing switch S1, the high state shifts from Q1 to Q2. Now, to change the high state from Q2 to Q3, apply another positive pulse at pin 14, which is possible only by pressing switch S2. Similarly, the high state can be shifted up to the tenth output (Q10) by pressing the switches S1 through S9 sequentially in that order. When Q10 (pin 11) is high, transistor T1 conducts and energises relay RL1. The relay can be used to switch ‘on’ power to any electrical appliance. Diodes D1 through D9 are provided to prevent damage/malfunctioning of the IC when two switches corresponding to ‘high’ and ‘low’ output terminals are pressed simultaneously.

Capacitor C2 and resistor R3 are provided to prevent noise during switching action. witch S10 is used to reset the circuit manually. Switches S1 to S10 can be mounted on a keyboard panel, and any number or letter can be used to mark them. Switch S10 is also placed together with other switches so that any stranger trying to operate the lock frequently presses the switch S10, thereby resetting the circuit many times. Thus, he is never able to turn the relay ‘on’. If necessary, two or three switches can be connected in parallel with S10 and placed on the key-board panel for more safety. A 12V power supply is used for the circuit. The circuit is very simple and can be easily assembled on a general-purpose PCB. The code number can be easily changed by changing the connections to switches (S1 to S9).

Electronic Extended Play Circuit Diagram

This is a Electronic Extended Play Circuit Diagram. A single op amp-one of four contained in the popular LM324-is operating in a variable pulse width, free-running square wave oscillator circuit, with its timed output driving two transistors that control the on/ off cycle of the tape-drive motor. The Oscillator` s positive feedback path holds the secret to the successful operation of the variable on/ off timing signal. Electronic Extended Play Circuit Diagram The two diodes and pulse width potentiometer R8 allows the setting of the on and off time, without affecting the oscillator`s operating frequency. One diode allows only the discharge current to flow through it and the section of R8 that it`s connected to. The other diode, and its portion of R8, sets the charge time for the timing capacitor, C3. Since the recorder`s speed is controlled by the precise off/on timing of the oscillator, a simple voltage-regulator circuit (Ql, R3, and D4) is included. Connecting the spe...

Power Amplifier with voltage regulator 4 × 50 Watt TDA8588

Power Amplifier with voltage regulator 4 × 50 Watt TDA8588 The TDA8588 is a multiple voltage regulator combined with four independent audio power amplifiers configured in bridge tied load with diagnostic capability. The output voltages of all regulators except regulators 2 and 3 can be controlled via the I2C-bus. However, regulator 3 can be set to 0 V via the I2C-bus. The output voltage of regulator 2 (microcontroller supply) and the maximum output voltage of regulator 3 (mechanical digital and microcontroller supplies) can both be either 5 V or 3.3 V depending on the type number. The maximum output voltages of both regulators are fixed to avoid any risk of damaging the microcontroller that may occur during a disturbance of the I 2C-bus. The amplifier diagnostic functions give information about output offset, load, or short-circuit. Diagnostic functions are controlled via the I2C-bus. The TDA8588 is protected against short-circuit, over-temperature, open ground and open VP ...

Digital Voltmeter Circuit with ICL7107

Description. The circuit given here is of a very useful and accurate digital voltmeter with LED display using the ICL7107 from Intersil. The ICL7107 is a high performance, low power, 3.5 digit analog to digital converter. The IC includes internal circuitry for seven segment decoders, display drivers, reference voltage source and a clock. The power dissipation is less than 10mW and the display stability is very high. The working of this electronic circuit is very simple. The voltage to be measured is converted into a digital equivalent by the ADC inside the IC and then this digital equivalent is decoded to the seven segment format and then displayed. The ADC used in ICL7107 is dual slope type ADC. The process taking place inside our ADC can be stated as follows. For a fixed period of time the voltage to be measured is integrated to obtain a ramp at the output of the integrator. Then a known reference voltage of opposite polarity is applied to the input of the integrator and allowed to r...
