One-button lock provides high security - 03/04/99 EDN-Design Ideas (contains several designs, scroll to find this one) Figure 1 is the block diagram of an easily programmed, single-button combination lock. You operate the lock by using a series of short and long pulses from a momentary switch that masquerades as a doorbell button. The circuit uses inexpensive CMOS
logic. The retriggerable timer, T1, locks out entries made after the T1 code-entry window, thereby greatly enhancing security. The circuit in Figure 2 operates as follows: The Schmitt-trigger quad NAND gate, IC1, debounces the code-entry switch and, with the aid of simple analog circuitry, produces separate outputs for activation times of less than and more than 0.3 sec. These outputs connect to the select gate, IC5 Design by Maxwell Strange, Fulton, MD
