Based Vehicle Anti-Hijack Alarms - Automobile Alarm Circuits: The first circuit is designed for the situation where a hijacker forces the driver from the vehicle. if a door is opened while the ignition is switched on - the circuit will trip. After a few minutes delay - when the thief is at a safe distance - the alarm will sound and the engine will fail. The second circuit is a modification of the first - offering enhanced protection in many more situations. __ Designed by Ron J.

2 More Stable Car Loop Detector - A Better Circuit, And it is Very Stable. Bury the coil in your driveway and it will detect any vehicle there. __ Designed by G.L. Chemelec
2 Simple Circuit Relay Based Motorcycle Alarms - Motorcycle Alarm Circuits: These are two - easy to build - relay-based alarms. You can use them to protect your motorcycle - but they have many more applications. if you use relays with 6-volt coils - they'll protect your "Classic Bike". Both alarms are very small. The completed boards occupy about half a cubic-inch - 8 cc. The standby current is zero - so they won't drain your battery. __ Designed by Ron J.
2 Watt Switching Power Supply - in this small switching power supply, a Schmitt trigger oscillator is used to drive a switching transistor that supplies current to a small inductor. Energy is stored in the inductor while the transistor is on, and released into the load circuit when the transistor switches off. The output voltage is dependent on the load resistance and is limited by a zener diode that stops the oscillator when the voltage reaches about 14 volts. Higher or lower voltages can be obtained by adjusting the voltage divider that feeds the zener diode. The efficiency is about 80% using a high Q inductor. __ Designed by Bill Bowden
2-Zone Burglar Alarm - Multi-Zone Burglar Alarm Circuits: This two-zone alarm has automatic exit, entry and siren cut-off timers. So it has a particularly detailed circuit description. There's an optional One-Time-Only module. it will force the siren to switch off after the first ten minutes - and prevent the alarm from activating a second time. __ Designed by Ron J.
30W White LED Automotive Headlamp Driver with Thermal Derating - The LT3756, LT3756-1 and LT3756-2 are DC/DC controllers designed to operate as a constant-current source for driving high current LEDs. They drive a low side external N-channel power MOSFET from an internal regulated 7.15V supply. The fixed frequency, current-mode architecture results in stable operation over a wide range of __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Jul 20th 2010
3rd Brake Light - This circuit is NOT a pulser or flasher! What's so special about this circuit? Well, the first third-brake light I installed I had to pull a wire from the Third Brake Light all the way underneath the carpet to the brake-pedal-switch and I thought it would be easier to pluck the signal of both brakelights via the trunk. Bench-test your circuit first and apply power to the circuit, __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR
3rd Brake Light Pulser - Several years ago these flashers were introduced in the automotive industry as part of the third brake light and contained strobe lights (and strobing continuously for the duration of pressing the break pedal) but got abandoned almost immediately sometime later because of the 'strobe' effect it has on some people. This circuit has become obsolet since much better circuits are available these days without the 'lag' in between brakes caused by R4 and C3. One of the circuits is listed below __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR
50W White LED Automotive Headlamp Driver - The LT3755, LT3755-1 and LT3755-2 are DC/DC controllers designed to operate as a constant-current source for driving high current LEDs.

5301 Wideband Fuel Mixture Display - This is the construction guide for the 5301 wideband fuel mixture display kit. The 5301 is the Tech Edge version (rather than the Jaycar version) of the modified Silicon Chip FMD design, and it features, compared to the original kit, double sided PCBs a new front panel design, in-built RS232 output and superbright GaAlAs 7 segment LEDs The 5301 uses the same version 1.1 software as the 5300 and, unless noted otherwise, is known elsewhere on this web site as the 5300 unit or the modified FMD display. __ Designed by Peter Gargano 2002
555 Ignition Coil Driver - This ignition coil driver is a HOT one! From my recollection, it delivers a nastier spark than the legendary Ford Model T ignition coil. The circuit uses an inverted 555 oscillator that is coupled to an ON Semiconductor BU323Z Darlington transistor (350V, 10A) that drives a conventional inductive discharge ignition coil. in __ Designed by Jim Keith
555 -Timer Based Motorcycle Alarm - Motorcycle Alarm Circuits: This circuit features an intermittent siren output and automatic reset. it can be operated manually using a key-switch or a hidden switch; but it can also be wired to set itself automatically when you turn-off the ignition.
