Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :

  • Isolated Remote Switch Circuit
    There are many applications when a remote switch’s on/off status needs to be monitored. Reed relay sensors, toggle control switches and security alarms contacts are just a few examples.  Routing a switch directly to a computer system hundreds of feet away can often lead to erratic operation and noise problems.  If such a control switch is required, a fully isolated circuit is strongly recommended.  The circuit below provides such isolation.  When properly wired, it will have 5000 volts of isolation and can be positioned 1000 feet away....

Inverted bipolar transistor doubles as a signal Clamp -  06/07/01 EDN-Design Ideas  A number of circuits, such as level detectors and AM demodulators, benefit from a rectifier with a low offset voltage. Silicon diodes have an offset of approximately 0.6V and do not work well in low-level circuitry. A Schottky diode is a bit better.... [Design Idea by Art Hogrefe, Puma Instrumentation, State College, PA]
IR Extender Mk 5 -  The latest addition to my collection of Infra Red (IR) Repeater circuits. The Mark 5 is a much improved version of the Mark 1 circuit and has increased range and sensitivity. It is also immune to the effects ofambient light, daylight and other forms of interference. In addition it works with IR modulation freuencies in the range 30 to 120kHz making the Mk5 circuit the best choice for compatibility with remote controls....(schematic added 01/2010)
IR Proximity Sensor -  It is the same principle in ALL Infra-Red proximity sensors. The basic idea is to send infra red light through IR-LEDs, which is then reflected by any object in front of the sensor. Then all you have ….(electronic schematic added 11/08)
IR Remote Control -  Volume and mute are provided by this simple but functional circuit. Suitable for all preamps.  (schematic added 6/07)
IR remote control -  I have received a number of emails requesting schematics for infa-red remotes. So here is one.  This remote transmits a tone using an infa-red LED.  This tone is decoded by the receiver. Since the receiver only switches when it "hears" the tone, there are no accidental activations.  [Aaron Cake's design]
IR Remote Control Extender -  This circuit is used to relay signals from an Infra Red remote control in one room to an IR controlled appliance in another room [Andy Collison's design]
IR Remote Control Extender Circuit -  sorry, site is under construction, check back]
IR Remote Control Extender Circuit Mark 2 -  (electronic circuit added 4/05)
IR Remote Control Extender Circuit Mark 3 -  (electronic circuit added 4/05)
IR Remote Control Jammer (Aaron Cake) -  Don't like your little brother's TV channel selection? Hate the volume your wife sets the stereo at? Want to just annoy someone? This circuit does all that and more by jamming most IR remote signals. The circuit releases a flood of pulsing IR light that confuses the receiver by corrupting the data stream....(added 4/02)
IR Remote Control Tester -  A simple IR receiver to facilitate in testing of Infra Red Remote Control handsets…. [Circuit design by Andy Collison]
IR Remote Switch -  (circuit / schematic design added 6/06)
IR Remote Volume Controller -  ….(Circuit design added 08/08) [Site is under construction right now]
Isolated Driver Forms Solid-state Circuit Breaker -  03/02/98 EDN-Design IdeasThis circuit allows standard TTL logic levels to safely drive a high-power dc load, circuit provides also overcurrent circuit breaker functionality.…File contains many circuits, please scroll to find this one....
