Extend Timer Range For The 555

Anyone who has designed circuits using the 555 timer chip will, at some time have wished that it could be programmed for longer timing periods. Timing periods greater than a few minutes are difficult to achieve because component leakage currents in large timing capacitors become significant. There is however no reason to opt for a purely digital solution just yet. The circuit shown here uses a 555 timer in the design but nevertheless achieves a timing interval of up to an hour! The trick here is to feed the timing capacitor not with a constant voltage but with a pulsed dc voltage. The pulses are derived from the un smoothed low voltage output of the power supply bridge rectifier.

 Extend Timer Range Circuit 

The power supply output is not referenced to earth potential and the pulsing full wave rectified signal is fed to the base of T1 via resistor R1. A 100-Hz square wave signal is produced on the collector of T1 as the transistor switches. The positive half of this waveform charges up the timing capacitor C1 via D2 and P1. Diode D2 prevents the charge on C1 from discharging through T1 when the square wave signal goes low. Push-button S1 is used to start the timing period. This method of charging uses relatively low component values for P1 (2.2 MΩ) and C1 (100 to 200 µF) but achieves timing periods of up to an hour which is much longer than a standard 555 circuit configuration.

Solve buzzing and noise on the amplifier circuit

Power amplifiers that we sometimes raises a raft of small drone as grounding less than perfect. The following are some ways to cope with the hum of the power amplifier: 

1. Keep sensitive circuits of the transformer, casing dimensions are not too small. One blog even suggested to use two-bok, bok special one for the transformer. For the toroid transformer or amplifier with a large transformer, should only contain a series of power amps, with no tone control. 

2. Change the position of the transformer, side by side into the lower side (the transformer is high) with facing a series of sensitive posts 

3. Use a spacer on each PCB board as high as half the height of the transformer, eg as high as 2.5 cm or more so that the PCB board parallel to the core / center of the transformer, here the effect of the weakest fields. 

4. We recommend using a stereo module instead of two mono modules This avoids wiring errors. If forced to, try to size cable between the right and left modules as long and as short as possible. 

5. Should take the ground path for the speaker of ct ct elco instead of the transformer, if the board pcb mounted two big elco (like elco power supply), take ground path of the speakers here, and check to hear! 

6. Power supply for radio (TX or RX) is very sensitive, use a capacitor 4x100nf, 4 pairs of these capacitors in parallel to each mem-diode (bridge). 

7. At the tone control circuit IC op-amp that uses a symmetric power supply, sufficient ground wiring is taken from the signal ground wires only. should IC power supply (7812) installed near the main power supply, not mounted near the tone control. 

8. Always use a stereo cable shrouded perfect (color stereo cable red-white-covered ground and wrapped in transparent skin. 

9. For power supply, use capacitors of 2200uF per ampere elco 

10. Zoom and ground wires as short as possible, especially a pair of elco (ct line between elco) power supply (can be tried for the amplifier blazer) 

11. For the amplifier should be mounted to the computer casing when not in the ground soil is diground PC casing soil 

12. Pairs of each kit to the circuit without passing groundnya nut / baud / spacer. Do not let the existing ground line at the hole pcb connected to the casing / box. Do not follow this ground. ground attached to the casing should have one. if necessary use a plastic spacer overcome the noise: 

1. Use the active component (IC) that qualified as TL084, TL074, not LM324. LM324 any brand of noise. TL084 is more guaranteed authentic yellow (ST), not white. For now, the IC TL084 is printed white-work unstable frequency high (treble breaks and more noise). For IC 4558 (NE5532) use plain white silk screening JRC4558D or TL072 - TL082 yellow, LF353 noise. LM741 (NE5534) can be replaced with the Hitachi HA17741, LF351 noise may also, has never been tried. we do not have to look for the brand and the price is more expensive because it is the most low noise. 

2. If necessary, the circuit power amplifier OCL, lowering its gain by lowering the value of resistor in the path gain from 33k to 22k speaker, mimics the gain-clone lower amplifier noise. 

3. Should simplify the circuit, the circuit is too complex is more susceptible to noise and interference. 

4. Should then potentio / volume mounted on the input-power amplifier, such as professional amplifier without tone control.

The damage Horizontal LG TV

Often find LG TV is switched off completely. After checking it Hor short TR / koslet so that all the inverter output voltage drop. Start with the appointment of TR page and check the voltage and turns back to normal. Do not always replace with a new TR because TR surely you will lose because they will surely be broken again, if immediate profits and normal life. After checking on the block capacitor Horizontal out that there was a rather plump and lifted it after it is dry there is no value of the capacitance.

LG TV

Capacitor is located on the collector TR Hor bypassed to ground which is parallel with the diode. For the slim LG 21 "inch typically use 2kV 183j (18n 2kV) for the black pearl 29" using 103j2kv (10N 2kV). After replacement of capacitor TSB and TR Hor who just started a TV and Direct TV was OK. ve Also found a balck pearl TV LG 29 "wide image conditions and so OSD is only half visible. As usual checks are still in the horizontal section. Initially thought to drive the FET TR Hor damaged and wide after being picked and measured FET turns out they will be still good. And start There seem damaged parts elco 250v1uf which already began to get puffy and after replacement image remains the same.

And start looking again whats so broken, and who seemed to actually see the disease as I get 600V 154J capacitor looks a little plump. C they will begin to lift and measure it with tester tester x100K and was not moving at all a sign of C is dry. They will begin to replace the capacitor, because it does not have the same C 204J 250V only that there had to be replaced eventually with this one. Begin with a TV and the picture was no longer visible widening is normally only about the width of the CM because it is not the same capacitor.

Then enter the service menu by pressing MENU on the panel and press 2 times hold MENU on the remote and add value HOR WIDE to fit the image width and by pressing OK on the remote to save the settings and press AV to exit.
