One of the most versatile linear ICs is the 555 timer which was first introduced in early
1970 by Signetic Corporation giving the name as SE/NE 555 timer. This IC is a monolithic timing
circuit that can produce accurate and highly stable time delays or oscillation. Like other commonly
used op-amps, this IC is also very much reliable, easy to use and cheaper in cost. It has a variety of
applications including monostable and astable multivibrators, dc-dc converters, digital logic
probes, waveform generators, analog frequency meters and tachometers, temperaturemeasurement
and control devices, voltage regulators etc. The timer basically operates in one of the two modes
either as a monostable (one-shot) multivibrator or as an astable (free-running) multivibrator.The
SE 555 is designed for the operating temperature range from – 55°C to 125° while the NE 555
operates over a temperature range of 0° to70°C.

the Op-Amp is an ideal one, that is AOL = ∞, Ri = ∞ & R0=0; since the input bias current is
assumed to be zero, there is no voltage drop across the resistor Rcomp and hence the non inverting

VbCOMPARATOR
:
A comparator is a circuit which compares a signal voltage applied at one input of an op-
amp with a known reference voltage at the other input. It is basically an open loop op-amp with
output ±Vsat as in the ideal transfer characteristics. It is clear that the change in the output state
takes place with an increment in input Vi of only 2mv.This is the uncertainty region where output
cannot be directly defined There are basically 2 types of comparators.
1. Non inverting comparatorand.
2. Invertingcomparator.

4. Keep 1V reference voltage at the Inverting terminal of the Op-amp. When Vin is less than
the Vref, then output voltage is at –Vsat because of the higher input voltage at negative
terminal. Therefore the output voltage is at logic lowlevel
5. Now, Keep –1V reference voltage. When Vrefis less than the Vin, then the output voltage
is at +Vsat because of the higher input voltage at positive terminal. Hence, the output
voltage is at logic highlevel.

INTEGRATOR AND DIFFERENTIATOR


AIM: To design, construct and verify the response of
a) Integrator using Op-amp IC741 for sine and square wave inputs at 1 KHzfrequency.
b) Differentiator using Op-amp IC741 for sine and square wave inputs at 1 KHzfrequency.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAMS:

Fig3.1Integrator Fig 3.2Differentiator

THEORY:
The integrator

A circuit in which the output voltage waveform is the integration of the input is called
integrator. V0=-1/R4C1
The above equation indicates that the output voltage is directly proportional to the negative

LIC APPLICATIONS LAB

integral of the input voltage and inversely proportional to the time constant R1CF. For Example if
the input is a sine wave, the output will be a cosine wave or if the input is a square wave, the
output will be a triangularwave.

1. When the input signal frequency is ZERO, the integrator works as an open – loop
amplifier. This is because of the capacitor CFacts as an open circuit (XCF =1/ωCF = infinite
forf=0).
2. Therefore the ideal integrator becomes unstable & suffers with low frequency noise. To
overcome this problem RFis connected across the feedback capacitor CF. Thus RF limits the
low-frequency gain and hence minimizes the variations in the outputvoltage.
3. Frequency fb at which the gain of the integrator is 0 dB, is givenby

fb =1/2πR1CF

4. Both the stability and the low – frequency roll-off problems can be corrected by the
addition of a resistors RFin the feedbackpath.
NOTE: The input signal will be integrated properly if the time period T of the input signal is
greater than or equal to RFCF.
The Differentiator
The differentiator circuit performs the mathematical operation of differentiation. That is
the output waveform is the derivative of the input waveform. Therefore

VO = Rf C1dVin / dt
1. The above equation indicates that the output voltage is directly proportional to the
derivative of the input voltage and also proportional to the time constantRFC1.
2. For Exampleif the input is a sine wave, the output will be a cosine wave or if the input is
a square wave, the output will bespikes.
3. The reactance of the circuit increases with increase in frequency at a rate of 20dB/ decade.
This makes the circuit unstable. In other words the gain of an ideal differentiator circuit is
direct dependent on input signal frequency. Thereforeat high frequencies (f=∞), the gain of
the circuit becomes infinite making the systemunstable.
4. The input impedance XC1 decreases with increase in frequency, which makes the
circuit very susceptible to high frequencynoise.
5. The frequency response of the basic differentiator is shown in fig 3.4 In this fig fa is
the frequency at which the gain is 0dB.
fa=1/2πRFC1
6. Both the stability and the high – frequency noise problem can be corrected by the addition
of two components R1 and CF as shown in fig 3.2.The frequency response of which is
shown in fig 3.4. From f to fa the gain decreases at 40dB/decade. This 40 dB/decade
change in gain is caused by the R1C1 and RFCFcombinations.
NOTE: The input signal will be differentiated properly if the time period T of the input signal is
greater than or equal to RF C1.

Fig 4.2 High pass filter


THEORY:
A first order filter consists of a single RC network connected to the non-inverting input
terminal of the op-Amp as shown in the figure. Resistors R1& Rf determine the gain of the filter in
the pass band. Components R & C determine the cutoff frequency ofthefilter.
Low-Pass filter: The circuit of 1st order low-pas filter is shown in fig.1 & its frequency response is
as shown in the fig3. The dashed curve in the fig 4.3 indicates the ideal response & solid curve
indicates practical filter response. It is not possible to achieve ideal characteristics. However with
special design techniques (Higher order filters) it is possible to closely approximate the ideal
response. Active filters are typically specified by the voltage transferfunction,
H(s) = V0 (s)/ Vi(s)……………… (1) (under steady state conditions)
High Pass Filter: The circuit of 1storder high pass filter is shown in fig.2 & its frequency response
is as shown in the fig4.4 the dashed curve in the fig 4.4 indicates the ideal response & solid curve
indicates practical filter response. When an input signal is applied to High pass filter, the signals at
high frequencies are passed through circuit and signals at low frequencies are rejected. That is the
signal which are having frequencies less than the lower cutoff frequency fLare rejected and the
signal with frequency greater the lower cut off frequency fLare passed through the circuit. Thatis
1. For f >fL, Vo(s) /Vi(s) = Maximum and is called as passband.
2. For f <fL, Vo(s) /vi(s) = 0 and is called as the stopband

EXPECTED WAVEFORMS:

Applications of filters:
1. In communications systems, use filters to suppress noise, to isolate a single communication
from many channels, to prevent spillover of adjacent bands, and to recover the original
message signal from modulated signals.

2. In instrumentation systems, engineers use filters to select desired frequency components or


eliminate undesired ones. In addition, we can use these filters to limit the bandwidth of
analog signals before converting them to digital signals. You also need these filters to
convert the digital signals back to analogrepresentations.

3. In audio systems, engineers use filters in crossover networks to send different frequencies
to different speakers. In the music industry, record and playback applications require fine
control of frequencycomponents.

4. In biomedical systems, filters are used to interface physiological sensors with data logging
and diagnosticequipment.

frequency response curves were plotted between voltage gain (dB) and frequency (Hz).

BAND REJECT FILTER

Fig 5.2 Band reject filter

THEORY:
BAND PASS FILTER:

A Band Pass Filter (BPF) has a pass band between the lower cut-off frequency, fL& the
higher cut-off frequency fH, such that fH>fL. When the input frequency is zero, the gain of the filter
will be zero. As the input signal frequency increases from zero to fL, the gain will increase at a rate
20dB/decade up to 3dB less than its maximum value. If the input signal frequency increases
beyond fL, the gain will reach its maximum value and remains constant up to high frequencies as
shown in the Fig 5.3. When the input signal frequency reaches the higher cut-off frequency, fH,
the gain will fall 3dB less from its maximum value. If the input signal frequency increases beyond
fH, the gain will decreasesto zero at rate of 20dB/decade. After reaching the total pass band region,
the gain of the filter is constant up to its designed fH(high cut offfrequency).
There is a phase shift between input and output voltages of BPF as a function of frequency
in its Pass Band region. This filter passes all frequencies equally well i.e.the output and input
voltages are equal in amplitude for all frequencies. This highest frequency up to which the input
and output amplitudes remain equal is dependent of the unity gain bandwidth of Op – Amp. At
this frequency, the phase shift between input and output becomesmaximum.

A Band Reject Filter (BRF) has a stop band between the cutoff frequencies fH&fL such that
fH<fL. When the input signal frequency is zero, the gain of the BPF will be maximum and will
remains constant as the input signal frequency increases. At the higher cut off frequency fH, the
gain becomes 3dB less than its maximum value. As the input signal frequency increases beyond fH,
the gain of the filter decreases & becomes zero at the central (fC) or operating frequency (fO). After
this center frequency fC, the gain increases to 3dB less than its maximum value at the lower cut-off
frequency, fL. As the input signal frequency increases beyond fL the gain increases to the maximum
value and becomesconstant.
There is a phase shift between input and output voltages of BPF in its “Pass band region”. This
filter passes all the frequencies equally well i.e. output and input voltages are equal in (magnitude)
amplitude for all frequencies. This highest frequency up to which the input and output amplitude
remains equal is dependent on the unity gain bandwidth of the Op- Amp. However at this

frequency, the phase shift between the input and output is maximum.

THEORY:
Wein bridge oscillator:

The most commonly used audio frequency oscillator is weinbridge oscillator. From the
figure shown above it may be noted that the feedback signal in the circuit is connected to the
positive terminal so that the Op-Amp is working as a non-inverting amplifier. Therefore the
feedback network needs not to provide any phase shift. The circuit can be viewed as a weinbridge

LIC APPLICATIONS LAB

with a series RC network in one arm and a parallel RC network in the adjoining arm. The addition
of zero phases around the circuit is achieved by balancing the bridge.
The frequency of the oscillations in Wein Bridge is given by
F0 = 1/ 2πRC
At FO, The feedback factor β is equal to 1/3. Therefore for sustained oscillation, the
amplifier must have a gain of precisely 3. However from practical point of view, AV may be
slightly less or greater than 3. For AV<3 the oscillations will either die down or fail to start when
power is first applied and for AV>3, the oscillations will be growing.
RC phase shift oscillator:
Phase shift oscillator which consists of an Op-Amp as the amplifying stage & three RC
cascaded networks as the feedback circuit that provides feedback voltage from the output back to
the input of the amplifier. The output is used in inverting mode. Therefore any signal that appears
at the inverting terminal is shifted by 1800 phase shift required for oscillation is provided by the
cascaded RC networks. Thus the total phase shift of the cascaded RC networks is exactly 3600 or
00. AtsomespecificfrequencywhenthephaseshiftofthecascadedRCnetworkisexactly1800
and the gain of the amplifier is sufficiently large and circuit oscillates at that frequency.

Monostable Multivibrator. When the output is low, the circuit is in stable state, Transistor Q1 is
ON and capacitor C is shorted out to ground. However, upon application of a negative trigger
pulse to pin-2, transistor Q1 is turned OFF, which releases short circuit across the external
capacitoranddrivestheoutputHigh.ThecapacitorCnowstartscharginguptowardVccthrough
R. However, when the voltage across the external capacitor equals 2/3 Vcc, the output of
comparator1 switches from low to high, which inturn drives the output to its low state. The output,
Q of the flip flop turns transistor Q1 ON, and hence, capacitor C rapidly discharges through the
transistor. The output of the Monostable remains low until a trigger pulse is again applied. Then
the cycle repeats. Fig (2) shows the trigger circuit & Fig.3 shows trigger input, output voltage and
capacitor voltagewaveforms.
Pulse width of the trigger input must be smaller than the expected pulse width of the output
waveforms. Trigger pulse must be a negative going input signal with amplitude larger than 1/3
Vcc. The time during which the output remains high is givenby
tp =1.1RC
Once triggered, the circuit‟soutput will remain in the high state until the set time tp elapses.
The output will not change its state even if an input trigger is applied again during this time
intervaltp.

DEPARTMENT OF ECE Sir C R Reddy College of Engineering Page 50


LIC APPLICATIONS LAB

Astable Multivibrator often called a free-running Multivibrator. External Trigger input is


not required to operate the 555 as an Astable Configuration. However, the time during which the
output is either high or low is determined by two external components Resistor & Capacitor. Fig
shows the 555 as Astable Multivibrator. Initially, when the output is high, capacitor C starts
charging towards Vcc through resistor Ra and Rb. As soon as voltage across the capacitor equals
to 2/3 Vcc, comparator-1 triggers the flip-flop, and the output is low. Now capacitor discharges
through Rb and transistor Q1. When the voltage across capacitor C equals to 1/3Vcc, comparator-
2‟s output triggers the flip-flop, and the output goes high. Then the cycle repeats. The output
voltage waveforms are as shown in fig (3).In this way capacitor periodically charges and
discharges between 2/3Vcc and 1/3Vccrespectively.
The time during which the capacitor charges from 1/3Vcc to 2/3 Vcc is equal to the ON
time of the timer (i.e. the output is HIGH) and is given by
tc =0.69(R1+R2)C
The time during which the capacitor discharges from 2/3 Vcc to 1/3Vcc is equal to the OFF
time of the timer, during which the output is LOW and is given by

td =0.69(R2)C
The total time period of the output is the sum of charging time( tc )and discharging time(td) and is
given by
T = tc + td = 0.69(R1 + 2R2) C
Therefore the frequency of oscillations of Astable multivibrator is given by
F = 1/T = 1.45/ (R1 + 2R2) C
DUTY CYCLE:
This term is in conjunction with Astable Multivibrator. The duty cycle is the ratio of the ON
time, tc during which the output is high to the total time period T. It is generally expressed as a
percentage.
Duty cycle, D = (TON /TON+ TOFF) = tc /T = (R1 + R2) / (R1 + 2R2)

DESIGN:
Step1: Choose C=0.01 µF
Step2: using the formula, F = 1.45/ (R1 + 2R2) C, Get a relation between R1& R2.
Step3: Consider the expression for duty cycle, D= (TON /TON+ TOFF) = (R1 + R2) / (R1 +2R2)
& obtain a relation between R1& R2.
Step4: Using the relations between R1& R2., obtained in step2 & step3, solve for R1& R2.

PROCEDURE:
1. Connect the IC 555 timer in Astable mode as shown infig.
2. Connect the C.R.O at the output terminal (pin 3) and observe theoutput.

at VCC/2 through R1& R2. Since the upper comparator will trip at (2/3) VCC and lower
comparator at (2/3) VCC the bias provided by R1 & R2 is centered within these two
thresholds. Thus a sine wave of sufficient amplitude (>VCC/6 = 2/3 VCC – VCC/2) to
exceed the reference levels causes the internal flip –flop to alternately set and reset
providing a square waveoutput.

DEPARTMENT OF ECE Sir C R Reddy College of Engineering Page 60


LIC APPLICATIONS LAB

THEORY:
The fig.11.1 shows the phase-locked loop (PLL) in its basic form. The PLL consists of i)
a phase detector ii) a low pass filter and iii) a voltage controlled oscillator as shown.
The phase detector, or comparator compares the input frequency f IN with the feedback
frequency fOUT. The output of the phase detector is proportional to the phase difference between fIN
and fout. The output voltage of a phase detector is a dc voltage and therefore is often referred to as
the error voltage. The output of the phase detector is then applied to the low-pass filter, which
removes the high-frequency noise and produces a dc level. This dc level, in turn, is the input to the
voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The filter also helps in establishing the dynamic
characteristics of the PLL circuit. The output frequency of the VCO is directly proportional to the
input dc level. The VCO frequency is compared with the input frequencies and adjusted until it is
equal to the input frequencies. In short, the phase-locked loop goes through three states: free
running, capture, and phaselock.
Before the input is applied, the phase-locked loop is in the free-running state. Once
the input frequency is applied, the VCO frequency starts to change and the phase-locked loop is
said to be in the capture mode. The VCO frequency continues to change until it equals the input
frequency, and the phase-locked state. When phase locked, the loop tracks any change in the input
frequency through its repetitive action.

Lock Range: The range of frequencies over which the PLL can maintain lock with incoming signal
is called the “ Lock Range” or “Track Range”

FL= 8f0/V where V= + V –(–V), where f0 is free running frequency. Capture


range: The range of frequencies over which the PLL can acquire lock with an input signal is called
the capturerange.

Projects to be implemented:

Automatic StreetLight
Introduction:
Needs no manual operation for switching ON and OFF. When there is a need of light
1.
itautomatically switches ON. When darkness rises to a certain level then sensor circuit gets
activatedand switches ON and when there is other source of light i.e.daytime, the street light gets
OFF.
The sensitiveness of the street light can also be adjusted. In our project we have used four L.E.Das
a symbol of street lamp, but for high power switching one can connect Relay
(electromagneticswitch) at the output of pin 3 of I.C 555 that will make easy to turn ON/OFF any
electricalappliances that are connected throughrelay.

Principle:
This circuit uses a popular timer I.C 555. I.C 555 is connected as comparator with pin-6
connectedwith positive rail, the output goes high(1) when the trigger pin 2 is at lower then 1/3rd
level of thesupply voltage. Conversely the output goes low (0) when it is above 1/3rd level. So
small changeinthe voltage of pin-2 is enough to change the level of output (pin-3) from 1 to 0 and
0 to 1. Theoutput has only two states high and low and can not remain in any intermediate stage. It
is poweredby a 6V battery for portable use. The circuit is economic in power consumption. Pin 4, 6
and 8 isconnected to the positive supply and pin 1 is grounded. To detect the present of an object
we haveused LDR and a source oflight.
LDR is a special type of resistance whose value depends on the brightness of the light which
isfalling on it. It has resistance of about 1 mega ohm when in total darkness, but a resistance of
onlyabout 5k ohms when brightness illuminated. It responds to a large part of light spectrum. We
havemade a potential divider circuit with LDR and 100K variable resistance connected in series.
Weknow that voltage is directly proportional to conductance so more voltage we will get from
thisdivider when LDR is getting light and low voltage in darkness. This divided voltage is given to
pin2 of IC 555. Variable resistance is so adjusted that it crosses potential of 1/3rd in brightness
andfallbelow 1/3rd in darkness.Sensitiveness can be adjusted by this variable resistance. As soon
asLDR gets dark the voltage of pin 2 drops 1/3rd of the supply voltage and pin 3 gets high and
LEDor buzzer which is connected to the output getsactivated.

2. TemperatureSensor
This project uses IC LM35 as a sensor for detecting accurate centigrade temperature.
Linearitydefines how well over a range of temperature a sensor‟s output consistently changes.
Unlikethermistor, Linearity of a precision IC Sensors are very good of 0.5°C accuracy and has
widetemperature range. its output voltage is linearly proportional to the Celsius (Centigrade)
temperature.
The LM35 is rated to operate over a -55° to +150°C temperature range.It draws only 60 µA from
itssupply, it has very low self-heating, less than 0.1°C in still air. LM35 Operates from 4 to 30 volts.

Output of IC is 10mv/degree centigrade for eg if the output of sensor is 280 mV then temperature is
28degree C. so by using a Digital multimeter we can easily calculate the degree temperature. For
triggerpoint you should set the voltage of pin 2 of IC 741 by using preset or
potentiometer.Our aim of this project is not to construct a thermometer but to activate or deactivate a
device at aparticular margin temperature. For simplicity we have used 2 LED for indication of both low
(Green)and high (Red)temperature.

Circuit Diagram of temperature sensor


Working: The output of IC2 increases in proportion to the temperature by 10 mV per degree.
Thisvarying voltage is feed to a comparator IC 741 (OP Amplifier). OP Amplifier are among the
mostwidely used electronic devices today.The op-amp is one type of differential amplifier. It has two
inputinverting (-) and non-inverting (+) and one output pin. We have used IC741 as non-inverting
amplifierwhich means pin 3 is the input and the output is not reversed. This circuit amplifies the
differencebetween its input terminals.
As a comparator, Bistable output of an op amplifier is as follows :-

3. ElectronicEye
Electronic eye has much use in this electronic age, also Known as magic eye. It can be used as
anautomatic guest indicator at the door, if fitted on the bottom of the door entrance. Once it is installed
atthe door there is no need to install a call bell. It can also be used at homes or in banks as a
burglaralarm. Fix the LDR to the wooden door or a locker to be protected in such a manner that when
anybodytries to open it, a shadow falls on the LDR and the circuit gets activated and produce a
pleasant soundthrough the buzzer.This electronic eye circuit uses NOT gate from CMOS I.C CD 4049.
CD 4049contains six independent NOT gate in one package; we have used one only. NOT gate output
goeshigh(1) when the input pin 3 is at lower then 1/3rd level of the supply voltage, conversely the
outputgoes low (0) when it is above 1/3rd level. So small change in the voltage of pin-2 is enough to
changethe level of output (pin-3) from 1 to 0 and 0 to 1. The output has only two states high and low
and cannot remain in any intermediate stage. It is powered by a 9V battery for portable use. The circuit
iseconomical in power consumption. Pin 1 is connected to the positive supply and pin 8 is
grounded.To detect the present of an object we have used LDR and a source of light. LDR is a special
type ofresistance whose value depends on the brightness of the light that is falling on it. It has
resistance ofabout 1 mega ohm when in total darkness, but a resistance of only about 5k ohms when
brightnessilluminated. It responds to a large part of light spectrum.We have made a potential divider
circuit withLDR and 220 KΩ resistance connected in series. We know that voltage is directly
proportional toconductance so more voltage we will get from this divider when LDR is getting light
and low voltagein darkness. This divided voltage is given to input of NOT gate.As soon as LDR gets
dark the voltageof input not gate drops 1/3rd of the supply voltage and pin 2 gets high and LED or
buzzer which isconnected to the output gets activated. Advantage of using Logic gate is that data can
be easily send toother digital interface device ieone can easily fed data to computer using parallel port
or for furtherprocessing.

4. PWM Based DC FanController:


We use DC fans in many systems in our day to day life. For example, CPU fans, fume
extinguishers and many more appliances which we make use of are operated by DC. Most of the
times we will have a need to adjust the speed of the motors to our requirement. Although some
systems have an automatic adjustment system for fan speed, not all systems possess this
functionality. So, we will have to adjust the speed of our fan ourselves occasionally.To adjust the
speed of our fan manually, there are multiple ways to do that. We can adjust the speed by using a
resistance in series with the motor. This is the simplest of all ways but it is not usually preferred
because if we want to use any devices like microcontrollers or any other digital equipment for
automating our DC fan speed, then this method will not work in general. A more efficient way to
proceed is by using pulse width modulation technique to manage the speed of our DCmotor.

Circuit Diagram of PWM Based DC Fan Controller:

In this circuit, the DC motor is operated by a 555 integrated circuit. The IC 555 in this circuit is
being operated in astable mode. In this mode, the circuit can be used as a pulse width modulator
with a few small adjustments to the circuit. The frequencyof operation of the circuit is provided by
the passive parameters of resistances and capacitances attached to it. The resistance between pin-7
and pin-8, the resistance between pin-6 and pin-7 and the capacitance between pin-2 and the
ground govern the frequency of operation and duty cycle of the ic555 in astable mode. The duty
cycleisgovernedbytheresistorwhichisinbetweenpin-6andpin-7oftheIC555timer.So,by

DEPARTMENT OF ECE Sir C R Reddy College of Engineering Page 87


LIC APPLICATIONS LAB

taking advantage of the circuits working, we can change the 555 astable multivibrator into a pulse
width modulator by using a variable resistor instead of a constant resistor in between pin-6 and
pin-7.One of the best things about this circuit is that we can make it work as an astable
multivibrator with little hardware and by little cost which can save both the cost involved in
making it as well as the space on the printed circuit board is saved. if we want a sophisticated pulse
width modulator which works more accurately and which can have more adjusting capabilities,
then it is better to use a microcontroller based pulse width modulator than the one which we are
using now. However, the circuit or the application for which we are using a pulse width modulator
is not so sensitive and hence does not demand so much of accuracy. In such a case, the circuit
which we are using with a bare IC 555 is better as it saves our monetary as well as space resources
in building the circuit.Theduty cycle of the circuit can be changed by changing the resistance
between pin-7 and pin-6. If we increase the duty cycle, the speed of the motor increases and if we
decrease the duty cycle, the speed of the motordecreases.

5. Automatic Washroom Light Switch

We turn On the lights in our washroom when we enter it and turn them off when we leave.
Wesometimes forget to turn Off the lights after leaving the washroom. This may lead to
powerwastage and also the lifetime of the lights may decrease. To avoid these problems, we are
going tomake a circuit which automatically turns On the lights when a person enters the washroom
and itautomatically turns it Off when he leaves it.By automating this, there are many advantages
like,the person need not care to turn On the light always when he is using the washroom. The
circuitwhich we are doing does it automatically for that person. Also, the person need not turn it off
afterusing the washroom. There is no fear that he forgets to turn it Off. The circuit is also designed
toconsume lesser power so that the circuit can be used in any household or public
washroomswithout worrying about the powerbills.

Automatic Washroom Light Switch Circuit Diagram:

The operation of the circuit is as follows. When the door of the washroom is opened and closed,the
circuit turns switches On the light using a relay. When the door opens and closes for the
secondtime, the circuit turns Off the light by turning off the relay.The element which is used to
detect theopening and closing of the door is a reed switch. There are two types of reed switches.
We areusing the one which will be closed in normal state and open when there is a magnetic field
nearby.A reed switch electrically is just a relay kind of component but unlike a relay which
activates whena coil voltage is supplied, the reed switch activates when a magnetic field is detected
in thevicinity. The circuit is given a power supply of 9V. The pin-16 of IC 4017 is given 9V. The
pin-8of 4017 is given to ground.The circuit uses IC 741 op-amp as a comparator arranged such that
itsoutput is high by default when the door is closed. The circuit is attached to the door

framewhereas

DEPARTMENT OF ECE Sir C R Reddy College of Engineering Page 90


LIC APPLICATIONS LAB

a permanent magnet is attached to the door in such a way that it comes closer to the reed
switchwhen it is closed. The IC 4017 is made to alternate between each door open and door close.
Whenthe door is opened and closed for one time, the circuit turns On the relay and the the Light
turnsON. When the door is opened and closed for the next time, the circuit turns Off the relay and
thelight turns off. The IC 4017 is capable of counting uptonine counts but we are restricting it
tocount only two and reset back. The ability of this IC to adjust the count value as desired helped
usin this project to use it as a one bit counter.When the door is closed, the reed switch opens
andhence the op-amp output which is the 6th pin of IC 741 is HIGH. When the door is closed, the
pin-6 of IC 741 is turned Off. When the dooris closed back, it triggers the IC 4017 decade counter
andhence the relay toggles ON and OFF for each door open and closeoperation.

6. Circuit Diagram of ContinuityTester:

There are many circuit testers already designed but this comes with an improvement that when the
circuit detects the connection, it makes a melodious sound which is pleasing to hear instead of the
irritating buzzer sound which is intolerable to hear. That too, this circuit does it using integrated
circuits wherever possible in an efficient manner so that the hardware is kept to a minimum and the
circuit size is also reduced.The circuit uses the 555 IC timer in buffer mode. The output of the 555
IC is a DC voltage when the circuit probes detects the connection shorted. This output is given to a
music generating IC which is UM66. This music generating integrating circuit is then given the
input from the output of the IC 555. The output is high only when the circuit detects the probes are
shorted. If not, the output is kept low. The music which is generated by the integrated circuit um66
can he heard through the loudspeaker. The loudspeaker used is a mini 8 ohms loudspeaker. The
circuit can be conveniently assembled onto a printed circuit board so that it comes handy whenever
we need to test a circuit for continuity or short circuits. A battery power supply can be used for
powering this circuit as the circuit is made to consume very little power due to which using a
battery based power supply is ideal as the batteries will last longer maintaining the portability of
the circuit.

the result, switch on the power supply. If your 555 timer is working properly, both the LED1 and
LED2 will glow. And any of the LEDs is off or both LED1 and LED2 are not glowing means your
555 timer IC is faulty.

Working of 555 Timer IC Circuit:

In this circuit, we have used the NE555 IC as an astable multivibrator and when power is provided
to circuit, the LEDs will start blinking which will show that the IC is working. The blinking rate of
LEDs can be changed by increasing or decreasing the values of resistor R1 and R2 and capacitor
C1.You can calculate the time duration with the help of formula given below:

T = 0.7(R1+2R2)*C1 in seconds.

As soon as power supply is provided, C1 will start charging through R1and R2.When the voltage
across C1 rises above 2/ 3 of supply voltage, the internal Flip Flop toggles. As a result, pin 7
becomes low and C1 starts discharging. When the voltage across C1 goes below 1/ 3 of supply
voltage, the internal Flip Flop resets and pin 7 goes high. The C1 again starts charging. All this
will happen only when your IC is in good condition. According to the frequency as set with the
help of resistor R1, R2 and capacitor C1 charging and discharging take place and LED1 and
LED2 will flash accordingly. From these observations, we can conclude that IC NE555 is faulty or
not.

Detector Circuit Design:

The detector circuit consists of an inductor, diode, a capacitor and a resistor. Here an inductor
value of 10uH is chosen. A Schottky diode BAT54 is chosen as the detector diode, whichcan

rectify low frequency AC signal. The filter capacitor chosen in a 100nF ceramic capacitor, used to
filter out AC ripples. A load resistor of 100 Ohms is used.

Amplifier Circuit Design:

Here a simple BJT BC547 is used in common emitter mode. Since the output signal is of low
value, the emitter resistor is not required in this case. The collector resistor value is determined by
the value of battery voltage, collector emitter voltage and collector current. Now the battery
voltage is chosen to be 12 V (since maximum open source collector emitter voltage for BC 547 is
45V), operating point collector emitter voltage is 5 V and collector current is 2 mA. This gives a
collector resistor of approx 3 K. Thus a 3 K resistor is used as Rc. The input resistor is used to
provide bias to the transistor and should be of larger value, so as to prevent the flow of maximum
current. Here we chose a resistor value of 100K.

Comparator circuit Design:

Here LM339 is used as comparator. The reference voltage is set at the inverting terminal using a
potential divider arrangement. Since output voltage from the amplifier is quite low, the reference
voltage is set low of the order of 4V. This is achieved by selecting a resistor of 200 Ohms and a
potentiometer of 330 Ohms. An output resistor of value 10 Ohms is used as a current limiting
resistor.

Mobile Phone Tracking Circuit Operation:

In normal condition, when there is no RF signal, the voltage across the diode will be negligible.
Even though this voltage is amplified by the transistor amplifier, yet the output voltage is less than
the reference voltage, which is applied to the inverting terminal of the comparator. Since the
voltage at non inverting terminal of the OPAMP is less than the voltage at the inverting terminal,
the output of the OPAMP is low logic signal.Now when a mobile phone is present near the signal,
a voltage is induced in the choke and the signal is demodulated by the diode. This input voltage is
amplified by the common emitter transistor. The output voltage is such that it is more than the
referenceoutputvoltage.TheoutputoftheOPAMPisthusalogichighsignalandtheLEDstarts
