Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :

  • 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 David A. Johnson P.E.,  04/17/11]

  • 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 . . .

  • Three-Volt Low Battery Voltage Flasher -  Many battery powered devices use two AA alkaline cells.

The hobby circuit below can be connected to a 3v battery, to give you some . . . [Hobby Circuit designed by David 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 Johnson P.E.,  04/22/09]

Transistor LED flasher -  This circuit has a lot going for it. For one thing, it only consists of two transistors, two capacitors and four resistors. That also means it consumes very little power. You can control the flash rate by changing the size of the 100k resistors (100k makes for a pretty slow rate). You can also control the duty cycle by using resistors of different values on the two sides. . .
