Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • Pushbutton Activates Service Request Beeper -  A single press of a pushbutton switch turns on a beeper for one second but can’t be activated again for 60 seconds.  . . . [Circuit by David A. Johnson P.E.,  09/25/05]

  • PWM Motor Controller uses a 555 Timer -  Using a CMOS version of the 555 timer, this circuit can be used to control the speed of a motor by adjusting the duty cycle of the pulses sent to the motor . . . [Hobby Circuit designed by David Johnson P.E.,  02/01/07]

Programmable Clock Oscillator -  PIC-Tock video clock using a PIC16C61. . .  [Circuit designed by Eric Smith]

Programmable Divider Restores SVGA Pixel Clock -  03/28/96 EDN Design Idea   If you've tried to design a video-overlay board that works with super-video-graphics-adapter (SVGA) graphics through a feature connector, you've probably noticed that the frequency of the supplied clock signal is not always equal to the pixel-clock frequency. In high-color modes (32, 000, 64, 000, and 16 million colors), the clock usually runs at 2 or 3x the pixel frequency. You can restore the pixel clock by using a simple programmable divider, as opposed to the more complex PLL circuit used in many video-overlay boards. Figure 1 shows the divider circuit. . .  [by Piotr Mazur, Wikom, Warsaw, Poland]

Projection Clock -  I'm pretty nearsighted and also an intermittent sleeper, and it has always frustrated me to contort myself far enough to read my clock radio display without my glasses on. . . .  [Designed by Markus Wandel]

 

Prop Clock Project -  A propeller clock is a fast rotating array of 7 high bright leds. After triggering the hall sensor it builds a virtual picture. The software is measuring the time of the rotations to justify the width. The power for the circuit board and the leds is inductive transferred by one of the video head coils. A infra red led transfers the DCF signal to the pcb. . .  [Lucifer Ursum]

 

Propeller Message Display with Temperature Indicator -  Here we describe a microcontroller-based propeller display that displays any message sent to it via hyper-terminal of a personal computer. Moreover, a temperature sensing IC (TMP125) is mounted onto the propeller display to display temperature in real time. It gives a 360-degree view and displays several characters in a revolving circular path using just eight LEDs. The main highlight o this project is a vertical facing display with true 360-degree viewing angle. . . .  [© EFY Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. All rights reserved.]

 

Propellor clock PIC16F84 -  a few light emitting diodes spin, precisely controlled by a PIC microprocessor, giving the illusion of a larger array. . .  [Bob Blick's design]

 

Provisionary Data Rates using the AD9951 DDS as an Agile Reference Clock for the ADN2812 Continuous-Rate CDR -  AN-632 Analog Devices App Note. . . 

 

Pushbutton Activates Service Request Beeper -  A single press of a pushbutton switch turns on a beeper for one second but can’t be activated again for 60 seconds.  . . . [Circuit by David A. Johnson P.E.,  09/25/05]

 

PWM fan controller in an EMI-susceptible circuit -  02/16/06  EDN Design Idea   Control it with either an external negative-temperature-coefficient thermistor or a PIC microcontroller and its SMBus serial-data bus. . .  [by Dimitri Danyuk, Niles Audio Corp]

 

PWM Motor Controller uses a 555 Timer -  Using a CMOS version of the 555 timer, this circuit can be used to control the speed of a motor by adjusting the duty cycle of the pulses sent to the motor . . . [Hobby Circuit designed by David Johnson P.E.,  02/01/07]

 

Quartz Clock Timebase -  Many electronic projects call for a timebase generator, accurate to a second or so. One way of producing this is with a microcontroller, quartz crystal and some software. But a far cheaper and simpler approach is to recycle an old analogue quartz clock. must register on this site. . .  [Published in Elecktor July/Augu, 2010]

 

Radio Clock for PC's -  There are a number of low frequency time signals around the world that broadcast accurate time and date information. These signals are used by the many cheap radio controlled wall and desk clocks that can easily be purchased these days. The time signal is also useful for the synchronizing the clocks of computers. . .  [Jonathan A. Buzzard]

 

 

Real-time-clock chip makes low-power oscillator -  11/23/00 EDN Design Idea   Many systems use watch-crystalbased, 32. 768-kHz oscillators. In battery-powered designs, the 32-kHz oscillator may consume a fairly high percentage of the total power budget. Reduced power consumption. PDF has many circuits, scoll. . .  [by Yongping Xia, Teldata Inc, Los Angeles, CA]

 

Relay clock -  Even if relay logic is now an old technology, I haven’t abandoned it. This  clock circuit  works for a sequence of 4 relays only, but the schematic is repetitive, so it may be extended. The relays K and K1 work in astable condition and are supposed to send the clock signal to the others. Once the circuit is supplied the cycle has to be triggered by pressing the button, then it continues without stopping. . .  [Andrea, I live in Central Italy]
