1-Shot Timer for Energy Saving Lighting - Note that the circuit is coupled directly to AC mains using the existing system in the building. A switch is used to start the timing and light one or more bulbs. The relay is powered from 12V and its contacts must outstand up to 1kW at 220V. __ Designed by Popescu Marian 555 Monostable - Basic circuits and information about this timer/oscillator.

555 Timer Monostable using Pushbutton - The two circuits above illustrate using the 555 timer to close a relay for a predetermined amount of time by pressing a momentary N/O push button. The circuit on the left can be used for long time periods where the push button can be pressed and released before the end of the timing period. For shorter periods, a capacitor can be used to isolate the switch __ Designed by Bill Bowden
Accurate One Shot Pulse Generator - This timer circuit draws only 3ua of current, and can be powered by DC supplies ranging from 3v to 15v. The circuit produces accurate pulses whose time can easily be adjusted, based on the R1 x C1 time constant. The time should not change,. . . Circuit by Dave Johnson P.E.-September, 2010

Adjustable Bipolar Clamp - 11/22/01 EDN-Design Ideas - The easy way to clamp a signal to a given value is to use two zener diodes, connected back-to-back. This method has several disadvantages.

Adjustable Timer - This circuit starts timing when switched on. A green LED lights to show that timing is in progress. When the time period is over the green LED turns off, a red LED turns on and a beeper sounds. The time period is set by a variable resistor and it can be adjusted from 1 to 10 minutes (approximately). It could be used to set a time limit when playing games or as an egg-timer in the kitchen __ Designed by John Hewes
Astable Flip Flops - Several circuits here. The familiar astable flip-flop circuit is a handy configuration for making flashers or generating squarewaves. Here is a typical alternating LED flasher with the LEDs in the emitters instead of collectors as is normally done.

Controller IC & one-shot form resonant controller - 11/28/02 EDN-Design Ideas - Resonant power supplies are popular because of high efficiency, low noise, and compactness. You can implement a resonant buck or boost converter using a single switch. The regulation of the output in such a converter derives from using a constant on or off time and a variable frequency.

Delay Line Aids in One-shot Simulations - EDN-Design Ideas - 04/26/01 Many designers use small pulse generators to delay signals, open timing windows, drive sample/hold circuits, and other functions. Though the hardware implementation of these generators does not pose any problems, the lack of dedicated circuitry sometimes puzzles the Spice simulation of the system. A common approach to this problem is to implement a time constant involving a resistor, a capacitor, and a comparator. Unfortunately, each time you need a time constant, you must recalculate the resistor value, the capacitor value, or both. Despite the fact that inline equations can do this job for you, delay lines can often offer a smarter solution. Design by Christophe Basso, On Semiconductor, Toulouse, France
