555 IC Timed Beeper Circuit Diagram

This is a simple t imed beeper circuit diagram of beeper using 555 timer. This circuit can be employed to energize lights, horn, or other signaling device at any desired interval when the mercury switch is triggered. Since the current handling capability of mercury switch is not so high, an SCR is used to handle current drawn by the 555 timer circuit . Chose the SCR  current rating of 500mA at minimum to safely drive the 555 IC and the relay. The relay is not needed when the current drawn by alarm is less than 200mA, in this case the alarm can be installed to directly replace the relay coil.  Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit. 555-IC Timed Beeper Circuit Diagram

555 Timer Oscillator

A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) using the timer 555 is shown in figure  555-timer-voltage-controlled-oscillator   The circuit is sometimes called a voltage-to-frequency converter because the output frequency can be changed by changing the input voltage. As discussed in previous blog posts, pin 5 terminal is voltage control terminal and its function is  to control the threshold and trigger levels. Normally, the control voltage is ++2/3V CC because of the internal voltage divider. However, an external voltage can be applied to this terminal directly or through a pot, as illustrated in figure, and by adjusting the pot, control voltage can be varied. Voltage across the timing capacitor is depicted in figure, which varies between +V control and ½ V control . If control voltage is increased, the capacitor takes a longer to charge and discharge; the frequency, therefore, decreases. Thus the fre­quency can be changed by changing the control volt­age. Incidental...

Simple 555 Tester Circuit Diagram

This is a Simple 555 Tester Circuit Diagram. The IC 555 is a widely used timers, control circuits, PWM, alarms, etc.. Often we set up a circuit that does not work or works differently than expected, this time the ideal is a test circuit for this IC.  This test circuit 555 is connected as an astable multivibrator when the button switch S1 is pressed, the LEDs D1 and D2 flash alternately. Ie, when the output is high D2 will light when the output is low D3 will light, and the other a Hi Lo. The speed of flashes is determined by the components R1, R2 and C1.Pressing the S1 test the 555 starts and any change in the IC flashes may consider to be defective.

Visitor Alarm Circuit Diagram Using IC 555

Description                   Figure shows the circuit diagram of the 'Visitor Alarm' . Here I have used a LDR and a mono stable Multi Vibrator for making this circuit . When who breaking the LED ray, the LDR has high resistance so the transistor will be OFF and the pin number two of the IC 555 is negative then the IC 555 will be triggering so the output is ON. When who don't breaking the LED ray, the LDR has low resistance so the transistor will be ON and the pin number two of the IC 555 is positive after that the IC 555 doesn't triggering so the output is OFF.

Light Activated Relay with 555 IC

This light activated relay circuit presented here uses the 555 timer IC and a light dependent resistor or LDR to form a light sensitive relay in an intruder alarm system or for switching on a lamp at Sun set and off at Sun rise. Potentiometer R1 value must be chosen and then adjusted that under normal conditions when the light is falling on the LDR the voltage across the LDR is less than 1/3 of Vcc. The output of the 555 IC is high now. The actual value of R1 will depend on the resistance of the LDR. When the light fades or is interrupted by an intruder, the voltage across it rises above 2/3 of Vcc, tripping the IC flip-flop. The output goes low activating the relay. When the light is restored, voltage falls below 1/3 of Vcc, again tripping the flip-flop causing the output to go high and the relay drops. The difference of 1/3 of Vcc between turning on and turning off voltages prevents relay chatter. This differential can be reduced by connecting a resistor R2 shown dotted in the schema...

DC to AC Inverter with 555 Circuit Diagram

This circuit is more of a DC to AC inverter, it uses a 555 IC as a low frequency oscillator, adjustable, adjustment can be done by the potentiometer R4 and frequency should be between 50-60 Hertz. The pulses from the IC 555 will go to Q1 and Q2 are amplified and sent to the transformer T1, which has its winding reversed. Capacitor C4 and coil L1 filter are the input to T1, it effectively ensures that a sine wave is formed.  DC to AC Inverter with 555 Circuit Diagram List of components R1 = 10K R2 = 100K R3 = 100 ohms R4 = 50K potmeter C1, C2 = 0.1μF C3 = 0.01μF C4 = 2700μF Q1 = TIP41A, NTE196, ECG196 Q2 = TIP42A, NTE197, ECG197 L1 = 1μH T1 = Transformer

Using 555 Timer Voltage Controlled Switch

In this circuit the 555 timer is used in a novel way, as a voltage controlled switch.The old and omnipresent NE555 can be very good at something it was not meant for: driving relays or other loads up to 200 mA. The picture shows an example circuit: if the input level rises over 2/3 of the supply voltage - it will turn on the relay, and the relay will stay on until the level at the input drops below one third of the supply voltage. If the relay and D1 were connected between pin 3 and ground, the relay would be activated when the input voltage drops below one third, and deactivated when the input voltage goes over two thirds of the supply voltage. It is also a nice advantage that the input requires only about 1 uA, which is something bipolar transistors can't compete with. (This high impedance input must not be left open.) A large hysteresis makes the circuit immune to noise. The output (pin 3) can only be either high or low (voltage-wise), and it changes its state almost instantenou...

Sensitive Optical Burglar Alarm using with 555 timer IC

This is a very simple and low-cost ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT PROJECT of  sensitive optical burglar alarm circuit diagram. This sensitive optical burglar alarm uses two 555 timer ICs (IC1 and IC2). Both the ICs are wired as astable multivibrators. The first astable multivibrator built around IC1 produces low frequencies, while the second astable multivibrator built around IC2 produces audio frequencies. Sensitive Optical Burglar Alarm Diagram: General-purpose Darlington photo-transistor T1 is used as the light sensor. To increase the sensitivity of the circuit, NPN transistor T2 is used. Place phototransistor T1 where light falls on it continuously. Phototransistor T1 receives light to provide base voltage to transistor T2. As a result, transistor T2 conduct to keep reset pin 4 of IC1 at low level. This disables the first multivibrator (IC1) and hence the second multivibrator (IC2) also remains reset so the alarm (LS1) does not sound. When light falling on Darlington phototransistor T1 is ...

Ramp Generator With 555 Timer IC

We apperceive that if a capacitor is answerable from a voltage antecedent through a resistor, an exponential waveform is produced while charging of a capaci­tor from a connected accepted antecedent produces a ramp. This is the abstraction abaft the circuit. The circuit of a access architect application timer 555 is apparent in figure. Here the resistor of previ­ous circuits is replaced by a PNP transistor that produces a connected charging current. Charging current produced by PNP constant current source is iC = Vcc-VE / RE where VE = R2 / (R1 + R2) * VCC + VBE When a trigger starts the monostable multivibrator timer 555 as shown in figure, the PNP current source forces a constant charging into the capacitor C. The voltage across the capacitor is, therefore, a ramp as illustrated in the figure. The slope of the ramp is given as

555 Amplifier Circuit

In this circuit 555 time ic can be used as an amplifier.It operates very similar to pulse width modulation. The component values cause the 555 to oscillate at approx 66kHz and speaker doesn't respond at this high frequency.Instead it responds to the average CD value of the modulated output and demonstrates the concept of pulse-width modulation. The chip gets very hot and is only for brief demonstrations.

555 TLC555 Relay Driver Circuit

Many integrated circuits have undocumented features or abilities. This is one of them. The TLC555 output (pin 3) can sink a 100mA load to 1.28V. The open drain transistor reset (pin 7) can sink 100mA to 1V. Tying both lines together is permissible because they are logically the same polarity and this potentially doubles the sink current ability to 200mA. This is ideal for driving my 133mA relay coil. The input also has the undocumented, but better known, feature of a Schmitt trigger that provides positive switching. 555 Relay Driver Schematic Protoboard setup Output current rating (pin 3): TLC555 vs. NE555 (Vcc = 15V) TLC555 NE555 Source current 10mA 200mA Source mode saturation voltage Vcc-0.8V Vcc-2.5V Sink current 100mA 200mA Sink mode saturation voltage 1.28V 2.5V While it can be seen that the NE555 has the higher current rating, its saturation voltage is grossly inferior and this is a detriment in driving loads without excessive voltage drop. Also it can be seen that the TLC555 i...
