Low Voltage Light Dimmer -  A light dimmer is a means of controlling the "brightness" level of a lamp, in this application we will use a555 Timer to control the brightness level of a low voltage incandescent bulb of up to 60-Watts.  For the light dimmer to work the555 Timer is configured as a "variable cycle", astable oscillator running some where around300 Hz

Low-Cost Analog On-Off Controller -  Have you ever wanted to control a device based on an analog signal level? Perhaps you want to fill a water tank automatically or control exhaust fans based on humidity or temperature.  Well now, you canprovided you have a sensor that gives an analog voltage or current output.__ SiliconChip

Low-loss powers solar lantern -  1-Apr-04 EDN-Design Ideas The solar-lantern circuit in Figure 1 is a low-loss configuration that uses a 7W, four-pin CFL(compact fluorescent lamp] and a 12V, 7-Ahr, sealed, maintenance-free battery.  The inverter features greater-than-85% efficiency, less-than-2-mA quiescent current, and a shunt-charge controller with deep-discharge and overcharge protection for the battery Design by Ramsesh Kumar, Bangalore, India

Low-Noise AC Amplifier has digital control of gain & bandwidth -  02/05/04 EDN-Design Ideas In low-noise analog circuits, a high-gain amplifier serves at the input to increase the SNR.  The input signal level determines the input-stage gain; low-level signals require the highest gain.  It is also standard practice in low- Design by Philip Karantzalis, Linear Technology App Note, Milpitas, CA,

Low-Voltage Continuity Tester Several simple circuits were tried -a lamp, battery and probes still demanded the attention of the eyes; replacing the lamp with a buzzer was more successful but needed some three to four volts and gave no indication of a series semiconductor.   __ Designed by Tony van Roon  VA3AVR

Low-Voltage Remote Mains Switch -  This circuit allows a 240V mains appliance to be controlled remotely via low-voltage cabling and a pushbutton switch.  The mains appliance (in this case, a light bulb) is switched with a suitably-rated relay.  All of the electronics is housed in an ABS box located in proximity to the appliance.  The pushbutton switch and plugpack are

Low-voltage reset operates below 2.7V -  EDN-Design Ideas March 26, 1998    [ NOTE : File has multiple design, scroll for this one.]  New personal digital assistants, pagers, and other battery-powered systems operate at or below 2.7V, but power-on resets with thresholds below 2.6V are not commonly available. You can resolve this problem using a circuit that combines a 1.2V reference and a micropower regulator (Figure 1a). IC1 integrates these two functions in a tiny SOT-143 package.
