Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • Table Lamp With Auxiliary 12v Automotive Style LED Light -  This circuit provides about one watt of non-isolated DC power for an automotive type 12v LED array lamp in addition to a standard incandescent table lamp . . . [Circuit by David A. Johnson P.E.,  07/09/06]

  • Ten-LED Sequential Flasher using Low Powr -  A while back I posted a flasher circuit which flashed 10 LEDs sequentially. That circuit was powered by four AA alkaline cells. The circuit below operates much the same way but has been modified to run from a single 3v CR2032 lithium coin cell . . . [Circuit by Dave Johnson P.E.,  04/17/11]

  • Tester for Pulsed LEDs -  This circuit is designed to test visible and infrared LEDs in pulsed mode operations. It can drive the LED with peak currents in excess of 10 Amps. A light detector nearby can monitor the response time and intensity of the LED under test . . . [Hobby Circuit designed by David Johnson P.E.,  06/17/00]

[GlobalSpec-AD/ad-smSQ-ihsGS.htm]
  • Three Volt Universal LED Flasher -  The circuit below will flash any LED color with fixed current pulses powered by a 3v battery. It uses a charge pump approach, which routes a constant current pulse through the LED, regardless of the LED voltage requirement. Using this approach, white and . . . [Hobby Circuit designed by David A. Johnson P.E.,  06/22/08] 

  • Three-Minute Closet Light -  I have a coat closet by my front door. The thing is very dark at night and really needs some kind of illumination inside. I could hire an electrician to install a light in the closet ceiling and then wire it to a toggle switch outside the door but that would cost me quite a bit of money . . . [Circuit by David Johnson P.E.,  12/25/11] 

  • Three-Volt Low Battery Voltage Flasher -  Many battery powered devices use two AA alkaline cells. Often you will not know when it is time to replace the batteries until the device powered by them actually stops operating. The hobby circuit below can be connected to a 3v battery, to give you some . . . [Hobby Circuit designed by David A. Johnson P.E.,  01/01/98] 

  • Three-Volt Powered Super Bright LED Flasher -  I have posted several kinds of LED flashers over the years.  This is yet one more flasher, designed to flash any high power LED of any color. It hits the LED with a 25ms 250ma pulse once every 2 seconds.  This works out to an average current about 3ma. It . . . [Hobby Circuit designed by David A. Johnson P.E.,  04/22/09]
