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 [...]

Battery-powered Night Lamp by 555

Friday, May 30th, 2008


This circuit is usable as a Night Lamp when a wall mains socket is not available to plug-in an ever running small neon lamp device. In order to ensure minimum battery consumption, one 1.5V cell is used, and a simple voltage doubler drives a pulsating ultra-bright LED: current drawing is less than 500ľA. An optional [...]

Fading LEDs

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008


Two strips of LEDs fading in a complementary manner 9V Battery-operated portable unit. This circuit operates two LED strips in pulsing mode, i.e. one LED strip goes from off state, lights up gradually, then dims gradually, etc. while the other LED strip does the contrary. Each strip can be made up from 2 to 5 [...]
