Sound Activated Switch - This project is a sound activated switch. Description Clap switch/Sound-activated switch designed around op-amp, flip-flop and popular 555 IC . Switch avoids false triggering by using 2-clap sound. Clapping sound is received by a microphone, the microphone changes the sound wave to electrical wave which is further amplified by op-amp.555 timer IC acts as mono-stable__
Sound Controlled Flip Flop - Described here is a very inexpensive solution to many phono-controlled applications like remote switching on, for instance, or activating a camera, tape recorder, burglar alarms, toys, etc. The circuit given here employs a condenser microphone as the pick-up. A two-stage amplifier built around a quad op-amp IC LM324 offers a good gain to enable sound pick-up upto four metres. __
Sound Operated Switch - This sensitive sound operated switch can be used with a dynamic microphone insert as above, or be used with an electret (ECM) microphone. if an ECM is used then R1 (shown dotted) will need to be included. A suitable value would be between 2.2k and 10kohms. __ Contact IQ Technologies
Sound Operated Switch - This circuit must have a 5v regulated supply. This is provided by the 7805 regulator. The circuit shown above should be sensitive enough to respond to a reasonably loud clap of the hands at a distance of about a metre from the microphone. if the microphone (loudspeaker) is not very close to the circuit board, use screened lead to connect it to the rest of the circuit. if you require greater sensitivity, you can add the simple pre-amp shown below. __ Designed by © David Hoult

Sun Type 5 keyboard on the PC - Many people have dreamed of having their Sun Type 5 keyboard attached to their PC. Now with this adapter, it is finally possible. Because the standard Sun keyboards use TTL RS232 at 1200 bps to talk to the Suns, it's relatively easy to make them talk to any non-Sun computer by converting this to true RS232. However PC's don't understand keyboards hooked up to serial ports without special drivers. While such drivers do exist you will still need to keep a PC keyboard about if you want to change the BiOS setup etc __ Designed by Jonathan A. Buzzard

Switch Configures Bare-Bones, Two-Digit Display - 12/21/95 EDN Design Ideas: A project that includes a stage with three selectable gains (0.1, 1.0, and 10) requires that the rotary-gain switch also function to illuminate one of three LEDs. These panel-mounted LEDs serve to indicate the gain in use. This arrangement requires two switch sections—one for selecting the op amp’s gain-set resistor and one to light the corresponding indicator LED. The circuit in Figure 1 requires only one more switch section to provide a true, two-digit, seven-section numeric LED display. The circuit needs no active driver-decoder circuitry Design by Joe Wonoski, Yale University Medical School New Haven, CT
Switch Conserves Microcontroller's I/O Pin - 09/15/94 EDN Design Ideas: The i/O pins of small, inexpensive microcontrollers are usually at a premium. The PIC 16C54 has only one and a half ports (12 i/O pins). Some processors have even fewer.
My application required a single-pole, six-position rotary switch for six different user selections. The direct approach would require six µP pins, one for each selection, plus a pullup resistor for each pin. Design by Franklyn L Dahlberg Jr, US Air Force, Hill AFB, UT
Switch controls digital potentiometer - 02/27/02 EDN Design Ideas: The control of electronic potentiometers in most today's applications comes from controller-generated signals.

Switch Debouncer - This circuit will remove the transient spikes and contact bounces from a non-latching push button switch. __ Designed by Andy Collison
Switch Debouncer isolates input & output - 04/27/00 EDN Design Ideas: Modern programmable-logic controllers (PLCs) for automated process-control systems have either 16 or 32 inputs and accept ac voltages of 24 to 120V. A single circuit (a relay for isolation and an RC network with a Schmitt trigger to debounce signals to the processor) can debounce all the PLC signals in sequence. However, this approach slows real-time data processing. Design by Phill Leyva
Switch Debouncer uses only one gate - 05/30/02 EDN Design Ideas: The circuit in Figure 1 produces a single debounced pulse each time you press S1. Moreover, the circuit uses only logic power from the remote pull-up resistor, R2.

Switched-Capacitor IC & Reference Form Elegant –48 to +10V Converter - 04/24/03 EDN Design Ideas: A system designer must almost always face a trade-off in choosing the right part for an application. The trade-off usually involves performance, price, and function. An example is the issue of powering circuits from a telecom-voltage source. Telecom systems almost exclusively use high-potential negative rails, such as -48V Design by Wallace Ly, National Semiconductor, Santa Clara, CA
Switcher improves overvoltage-protection - 10-Jun-04 EDN Design Ideas: Overvoltage-protection circuits often protect electronic devices from power-supply transients, such as a rise from plugging in batteries or an external power adapter. Although these devices traditionally find use as hysteretic switching controllers, you can reconfigure the LM3485 (Figure 1) to provide a robust overvoltage-protection circuit Design by Jason Rubadue, National Semiconductor, Thornton, CO
