Simple Road Ice Alarm Schematic Using LM3900


Thissimple  road ice alarm electronic circuit schematic use a LM3900 quad operational amplifier. As a temperature sensor this road ice alarm circuit use a thermistor. When the temperature is around  36 degrees Fahrenheit (2.2 celsius degrees)  the LED connected on pin 4 at the LM3900 op amp will flashes at once about each one second. 

Simple Road Ice Alarm Schematic:

Alarm Schematic

When the temperature is going down to 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) the led remains on. Before you use this road ice alarm electronic circuit you need to calibrate it. To calibrate the circuit you need to put the thermistor in a mixture of a crushed ice and water and adjust the variable resistor R2 until the LED is remaining on.

The road ice alarm circuit needs to be powered from a 12 volts DC power supply circuit ( If you use it for car the car battery can be used for powering the circuit ).

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...
