Links to electronic circuits, electronic schematics, designs for engineers, hobbyists, students & inventors:

D - Flip-Flop Made With A LM556 Timer -  Uses the LM555 timer or its cousins with other letter prefixes. There can be minor differences between 555 timer IC's from different manufacturers but they all should be useable for any circuit.   Designed for Model Trains…. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
Day & Night Infrared Detection -  The following is a method to allow day and night detection using Infrared/Visible light sensitive phototransistors and a simple LM339 voltage comparator circuit. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
DC Motor Pulse Width Modulation Speed Control -  This is a circuit for controlling the speed of small DC motors, it works nicely as a speed controller for an HO or N gauge model railroad. (electronic diagram added 11/06)
DCC Ammeter (ZXCT1009) -  The circuit shown on this page allows inexpensive digital multimeters to measure currents in DCC systems. The 2010 circuit is designed to use a 20 milliamp DC milliammeter to monitor the current but other types of meters could also be used with this circuit. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
DCC Booster -  The DCC booster shown on this page uses the LMD18200 motor driver H-bridge IC. The booster's designed output rating is 3 amps at 15 volts. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
DCC To DC - Accessory Power Supplies -  Circuit for model railroad trains…. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
DCC To DC Power Supplies For Accessory Circuits -  Circuit for model railroad trains…. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
DCC Waveforms and Voltage -  This page attempts to show the voltage waveforms associated with model railroad DCC systems as they would be seen with an oscilloscope. Also methods of measuring DCC system voltages and currents are shown. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
DCC Zero Stretching Simulator (LM555) -  This circuit is designed to simulate the 'Zero Stretching' function of Digital Command Control systems used by model railroads. This circuit was used drive the booster while testing the operation of block occupancy detectors and DCC signal failure circuits while in the zero stretching mode....[from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
[_OLD-ads-dont_upload/OLD I-ADS from web/ad-djandassoc.htm]
Delayed Re-Triggering -  Uses the LM555 timer or its cousins with other letter prefixes. There can be minor differences between 555 timer IC's from different manufacturers but they all should be useable for any circuit.   Designed for Model Trains…. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
Detection for Day & Night -  The following is a method to allow day and night detection using Infrared/Visible light sensitive phototransistors and a simple LM339 voltage comparator circuit. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
Diagrams And Schematics For My MiniDCC© System -  This page shows schematics and diagrams for a MiniDCC© system that was built for my personal use. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
Diode Matrix Systems for Stall Motor Switch Machines -  The circuits on this page are basic designs for "Diode Matrix" switch machine control systems that can be used to operate "Stall-Motor" switch machines in 'Ladder' type storage yards or other multiple turnout areas.  The driver circuits themselves use LM556 dual timer chips to reverse the polarity of the voltage to the switch machine motors. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
Diode Type Constant Lighting Circuits -  Circuit for model railroad trains…. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
Discrete Version Of The LM3909 Oscillator IC -  This page features a replacement circuit for the LM3909 LED Flasher / Oscillator. The replacement circuit uses discrete components and is essentially the same as the internal circuit of the LM3909. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
Driving Loads Of Greater Than 15 Volts -  Uses the LM555 timer or its cousins with other letter prefixes. There can be minor differences between 555 timer IC's from different manufacturers but they all should be useable for any circuit.   Designed for Model Trains…. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
Dual-Transformer Type Block Occupancy Detector-VT-5 -  This block occupancy detection circuit uses a current sense transformer to isolate the detector circuit from the track power circuit. The output section of the circuit takes its power from an external power supply and uses a LM555 timer to provide the release time delay and both an Open Collector and Bipolar output each detector. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
Electronic Circuit Breakers -  The circuit breakers on this page make use of the Zetex ZXCT-1009 "High Side Current Monitor' integrated circuit. The circuits have variable trip current settings and are designed for low current applications. Two circuit breaker designs are shown; The first has its power isolation device on the Low or common side of the circuit while the second has it isolation device on the High or supply side of the circuit. Both designs use MOSFET isolation devices. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
Electronic Time Constant Control -  Uses the LM555 timer or its cousins with other letter prefixes. There can be minor differences between 555 timer IC's from different manufacturers but they all should be useable for any circuit.   Designed for Model Trains…. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
Experimental and Test Throttles -  This page will show a number of variations on transistor type throttles. The throttles range from 'tried and true' types to 'experimental' designs.  Scroll to this one…. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
