Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • 3 VOLT LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE FLASHER
    This circuit is designed to monitor two alkaline cells (3v) that form the battery often used in portable electronic equipment.  It use an inexpensive IC from Panasonic that is connected to an efficient LED flashing circuit.  When the battery voltage drops below a certain point the circuit flashes the LED.  In the off state the circuit draws only 1uA, while in the active flashing state it draws 20uA.   Published in EDN, Jan 2, 1997
  • 9v Battery Voltage Monitor
    This circuit turns on a LED whenever the voltage of a standard 9v battery connected to the circuit drops below 7.2 volts.  It uses a LTC1440 comparator, which also contains a 1.18v reference diode.  In standby mode, the circuit draws only 4uA. (added 7/06)

12 Volt Battery Charge Monitor - Here is a battery monitor circuit which disconnects the load when the battery is discharged, preventing a deep discharge which could cause permanent battery damage. The battery is automatically reconnected when a battery charger or other DC source is connected across the load. Select a relay which requires less than 100ma coil current and with contacts capable of handling the load and charging.... (added 5/09)

Battery Automatic Power Off has Simpler Design - 03/31/05 EDN-Design Ideas:.....(design idea added 5/05)  In low-noise analog circuits, a high-gain amplifier serves at  input to increase  SNR. The input signal level determines  input-stage gain; low-level signals require  highest gain. It is also standard practice in low-noise analog-signal processing to make  circuit's bandwidth as narrow as possible to pass only  useful input-signal spectrum.... (added 10/05)
