electronic schematics, designs for engineers, hobbyists, students & inventors:
Ballast that can Be Dimmed from a Domestic (Phase Cut) Dimmer.: A system has
now been developed, based around IR2156, where ballast is able to operate
with minimal flicker over a considerable portion of adjustment range of a dimmer
and light output may be controlled over this range from maximum output down to
around 10%. (added 3/05)
Bass Beat Extractor: an automatic gain control circuit followed by a low
pass filter, converts beat into a sharp pulse suitable for triggering
strobe or chaser (added 4/02)
Battery-powered Night Lamp: This circuit is usable as a Night Lamp when a
wall mains socket is not available to plug-in an ever running small neon lamp device.
In order to ensure minimum battery consumption, one 1.5V cell is used, and a simple
voltage doubler drives a pulsating ultra-bright LED: current drawing is less than
500µA.... (schematic / circuit added 11/06)
Beat Tracking Strobe: project description using AT90S8515
microcontroller and some electronics (added 4/02)
CFL Ballast for 26W/ Sprial Lamp 220VAC Input: The IRPLCFL5E reference
design is an electronic ballast for driving 26W compact fluorescent lamps from
220VAC. The circuit provides all of necessary functions for preheat,
ignition and onstate operation of lamp and also includes EMI filter
and rectification stage. The circuit is built around IR2520D Ballast
Control IC. (added 3/05)
Color Organ Light : This circuit works REALLY well. Notice how it will
fire even in complete silence. This provides a sort of automatic gain control.
(added 2/05)
Controller Provides Multimode Phase Control: 12/12/97 EDN-Design Ideas /
(added 3/03) --16C508 multichip controller, you can implement a phase
controller that provides a two-key, indexed processor for ac power
Courtesy Lamp: 15 seconds delayed switch-off for220-Volt AC lamp, a good
idea for bedroom lamps (added 9/04)
