Universal 4 Digit Keypad Operated Switch - This is a universal version of the Four-Digit Alarm Keypad. I'vemodified the design of the output section - to free up the relay contacts. This allows the circuit to operate as a general-purpose switch. I used a SPCO/SPDT relay - but you can use a multi-pole relay if it suits your application. __ Designed by Ron J Universal DC Sink to Source Converter - As illustrated below, many control systems use an open collector transistor to turn something on. Perhaps it is a LED light, a relay or a small motor. However there are other systems which require a common ground connection instead of a common V+ supply . . .

USB Printer Sharing Switch - I had two computers, a Mac MinI and a generic Windows computer. Both were on different networks, but in the same room, and I wanted to share a Lexmark USB laser printer between the two of them. I ended up making this switch to share the printer between the two computers __ Designed by Dick Cappels

Voice activated switch - This circuit uses an MC2830 to form a voice activated switch (VOX). A traditional VOX circuit is unable to distinguish between voice and noise in the incoming signal. in a noisy environment, the switch is often triggered by noise, or the activation sensitivity must be turned down. This circuit overcomes this weakness. The switch is activated by voice level above the noise and not activated by background noise. __ Contact IQ Technologies
Voice identifier for a repeater station - Designed as a drop-in replacement for the VHF Engineering repeater's CWiD, it can be used in other equipment too. __ Designed by Manfred Mornhinweg
Voice Operated Switch - Description This circuit is a voice operated switch (VOX) and designed for audio frequencies within a commercial telephone bandwidth of 100Hz to 3000Hz. input amplitude is sensitive down to 10mV and the output comparator can drive a relay or interface to micro processors and TTL switching between 0 and 5Vdc. Notes The VOX circuit is […]__

Voice-Over - This is a circuit where a microphone and preamp circuit (voice circuit) have priority over any other audio signal. You can think of this as a one way intercom, if the main amplifier is used for listening to music, then when the push to talk switch is pressed, the amplifier is switched to the voice signal. __ Designed by Andy Collison
Voltage Comparator Switch - This circuit will provide an indication whenever the input voltage differs from two defined limits, V1 and V2. The supply voltage, Vcc must be higher than the highest input voltage by at least 2 volts. One application here is to monitor a 12V car battery __ Designed by Andy Collison

Water & vandal-proof keypad uses piezoelectric disc as sensor & buzzer - 04/21/14 EDN Design Ideas: An ingenious and low-cost method to create a rugged “Ui”. This design was done to get a sealed keypad for very wet environments (in my particular case, showers for swimming pools). The keypad needed to be able to detect slight pressure on a stainless steel plate 0.4mm thick. Apart from water protection, the solution offers an esthetical finish, as the user side is absolutely flat, with nothing visible other than the silkscreened print. Another advantage of this type of keypad is that it is vandal-proof Design by Francesc Casanellas
Water Activated Relay - in his circuit Marin has used two transistors wired as a high gain compound pair. Transistor T1 may be a 2N2222A and T2 a BC108. The current gain will be the product of each transistors beta, which will be a minimum of 140 x 110 or 15400. The power supply used can be any voltage from 4.5 to 15 volts, __ Designed by Marin Lukas
Water Seepage Monitor - A while back I received a request from a company who needed a water seepage detector. They wanted a device that ran on 24vac and detected water using a fully isolated circuit. They wanted a circuit which switched off 24vac to a load when water was detected . . . Circuit by Dave Johnson P.E.-January, 2011

Wave Multiplier for music Synthesizers - The idea for this project came from the fabled middle section of the Serge wave multipliers. At the time I designed this, I had never seen or heard one of these units, nor had I seen its schematic diagrams, but armed with descriptions and suppositions by various people who had seen them, and a couple of photos of CRO traces from the output of the module, I decided to design myself one. __ Designed by Ken Stone

White LED driver backlights LCD & keypad - 13-Nov-03 EDN Design Ideas: Designers widely use white LEDs to backlight color LCDs and keypads in handheld devices, such as cell phones, MP3 players, GPS navigators, and PDAs. Their spectrum and brightness represent near-ideal light sources. One possible configuration for a phone or a phone/PDA combination is to have a group of three LEDs to light the display and six LEDs for the keypad Design by Fabien Franc, Catalyst Semiconductor, Sunnyvale, CA
XY Keypad uses µC's Serial Port - 10/10/96 EDN Design Ideas: interfacing an X-Y keypad to a microcontroller usually uses a parallel port of 8 bits or more. But with the circuit shown in Figure 1, a more efficient interface using a microcontroller's serial port reduces the number of connections required from eight to three. This interface uses the MM74C922N, a National Semiconductor keypad encoder, Design by James Mears, National Semiconductor, Tacoma, WA
