Under Voltage Circuit
This under voltage circuit may be used as an add-on to an existing power supply or standalone. The circuit draws power from an existing power supply, which may be up to 36 Vdc. Once voltage drops below a preset level the output swings high. A CA3140 MOSFET op-amp is used as a comparator, the output can drive loads of up to 10mA so can drive a low current LED directly. Additional buffering is required for higher loads. Read more...

IR Remote Control Extender Mark 5
The latest addition to my collection of Infra Red (IR) Repeater circuits. The Mark 5 is a much improved version of the Mark 1 circuit and has increased range and sensitivity. It is also immune to the effects ofambient light, daylight and other forms of interference. In addition it works with IR modulation freuencies in the range 30 to 120kHz making the Mk5 circuit the best choice for compatibility with remote controls. Read more...

Cmos 4060 Burglar Alarm
This is a single zone alarm - with automatic exit, entry and siren cut-off timers. It will accommodate all the usual types of normally-closed input devices - such as magnetic-reed contacts - foil tape - PIRs etc. But it's easy to add a normally-open trigger. When the alarm is activated - the siren will sound for a fixed length of time. Then it will switch off - and remain off. The alarm will not re-activate. Read more...
