Valentine Heart -  18 LEDs flash at three different rates and you can use these to create an eye-catching Valentine Heart for that special person! A template for the heart shape can be downloaded. The circuit is kept simple (and low cost) by using the 4060B IC which is a counter and oscillator (clock) in one package. The circuit requires a 9V supply, such as a PP3 battery. . .  [Designed by John Hewes]

 

Variable Period Oscillator (CD4017) -  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]

 

Variable Timer with Music -  This simple timer can be set to run for different time settings ranging from 30 seconds to 4. 5 minutes. Also, a musical note is played at the end of the set time. . . .  [© EFY Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. All rights reserved.]

Various LED Blinker Circuits -  The circuit uses independent timers to flash two light emitting diodes. Any time that light emitting diode D1 is lit__light emitting diode D2 will be switched off. Light emitting diode D3 is on if both D1 and D2 are offCircuit for model railroad trains. . . .  [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]

Various Power Control Delay Circuits -  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]

 

VCXO Makes Inexpensive Dual-Clock Reference -  11/27/03  EDN Design Idea   This Design Idea   describes an inexpensive circuit to generate two extremely high-quality, crystal-clock-reference-signals, one of which is a PWM-controlled VCXO (voltage-controlled crystal oscillator] clock signal (Figure 1). The desi. . .  [by Said Jackson, Equator Technologies Inc, Campbell, CA]

 

Versatile CMOS/TTL Logic and Clock Probe -  For fault diagnosis of any logic circuit, you need a probe that can test the logic level or existence of clock activity. The circuit shown here can be used to test CMOS and TTL logic circuits for logic states and also for the presence of clock activity from a few hertz to more than 10 MHz, at any point of the logic circuit. . . .  [© EFY Enterprises Pvt.

Versatile electronic timer -  . . . 

 

Versatile Object Counter -  Here is a simple circuit that can count objects without using any costly microcontroller. The circuit is good for those who are not familiar with programming of microcontrollers. . . .  [© EFY Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. All rights reserved.]

 

Versatile Timer Operates from Microseconds to Hours -  Application Note 24 Feb1999. . .  [National Semiconductor]

 

Versatile Timer IC -  an 8-pin pic generating hourly/daily pulses, saves lots of circuitry - example circuits also. . .  [by P. Townshend - EduTek Ltd]

 

Very Stable 40kHz Generator -  ASCII format-A circuit that I have used before is based on the CD4060 (14stage binary counter) and a 640Khz ceramic resonator. The CD4060 is basically an oscillator and a ripple counter to divide the 640khz down to something more usable. . . . 

 

VFD (vacuum flourescent display) clock -  This is my fifth retro display clock (others: 1, 2, 3, 4), but the first based on a vacuum fluorescent display. Let's get right down to it. . . .  [© 2007 by Riad S. Wah[by]

 

Video Clock Superimposer -  As a followup to my VCR Pong project, here is a gadget that is actually useful in the Real World! It superimposes the time of day, in "HH MM SS" format, in the bottom right-hand corner of an existing video signal. My friend Scott uses it with his home security system. . . 

 

Video clock superimposer using PIC16C711 -  As a followup to my VCR Pong project, here is a gadget that is actually useful in the Real World! It superimposes the time of day, in "HH MM SS" format, in the bottom right-hand corner of an existing video signal. My friend Scott uses it with his home security system. . . 

 

Visitors Counter -  Presented here is a simple counter that counts the number of visitors entering or exiting an auditorium or any other place where you have installed this circuit at the gates. On receiving an interrupt from light-dependent resistor (LDR) sensors, the circuit increments the count and shows it on a 7-segment display. . . .  [© EFY Enterprises Pvt. Ltd.

Voltage Controlled Oscillator with 16:1 Frequency Range -  The LTC6990 is a precision silicon oscillator with a programmable frequency range of 488Hz to 2MHz. It can be used as a fixed-frequency or voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The LTC6990 is part of the TimerBlox family of versatile silicon timing devices. A single resistor, RSET, programs the LTC6990’s internal master oscillator. . .  [Linear Technology App Note, Jun 16th 2010]

 

Voltage Controlled Pulse Width Oscillator -  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]

 

Voltage Controlled Switch using 555 -  In this circuit the 555 timer is used in a novel way, as a voltage controlled switch. . . .  [Circuit designed by Miroslav Adzic]

 

Voltage Doubler -  A voltage higher than the supply can be created by a "Charge-Pump" circuit created with a 555, diodes and capacitors as shown in the following circuit. The output will deliver about 50mA. . . .  [No designer name given]

 

Wailing Siren -  By pressing the button, the wailing sound increases. Releasing the button decreases the wailing. The circuit automatically turns off after about 30 seconds. . . .  [No designer name given]
