Random Number Generator by IC 4017 and 4011

Saturday, August 16th, 2008


This be Random Number Generator Circuit there is the character is 10 LED Flasher by use IC 4017 and IC 4011. For the 4017 IC is a 16-pin CMOS decade counter. It takes clock pulses from the clock input, and makes one of the ten outputs come on in sequence each time a clock [...]

4017 Led Pattern-Flasher

Thursday, April 24th, 2008


The circuit uses a 555 timer oscillator to supply clock pulses of a variable frequency to the 4017 decade counter. The decade counter only needs to have three outputs so the fourth output goes into the reset pin to start the cycle all over again. The central red led is always on. Each row of [...]

Ultrasonic Parking Sonar by 4017

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008


It works on the sonar principle, sending an ultrasound burst and listening for first echo. The burst generated by the oscillator built around U4D (you must set the frequency using TR2 to have 40 kHz or the maximum sensitivity), U4E buffers the output and U4F boost the signal doubling the voltage span across the TX [...]
