Reverse Lamp Dimmer Circuit for Simulating Sunrise Effect

The post explains a simple automatic mains lamp reverse dimmer circuit which can be used to imitate a sunrise effect.

A sunrise simulator lamp is a modified version of a dimmer circuit. 120V AC lamp is connected to a bridge rectifier that supplies DC though there is no functional difference as the lamp is passive and being resistive in nature there is no operational problem.

The circuit is made such that the lamp illuminates over a period of 20 minutes. The lamp is connected in series with a N channel MOSFET.

Here in this case IRF 640 having a V -DS of 200V and I of 11Amp at 100oC or an IRF 740 having V-DS of 400V and Id of 6.3Amp at 100oC is recommended.

However, for a 120V supply IRF 740 is a better choice. A current limiting resistance is employed in series with the lamp. The lamp has a drawing current of 500mA that determines the wattage of the current limiting resistance.

LM324 a quad OP-Amp is employed for the multiple stages required to build the circuit. A triangular wave form of around 700Hz is produced at pin number 1 and a slow variable DC voltage is generated at pin number 8.

These two voltages are compared in the last stage of the op-Amp. This stage is acting as a comparator.

Quite naturally the comparator generates varying duty cycle. This is the parent methodology of generating PWM wave form. This PWM signal shall trigger the MOSFET and start illuminating the bulb within sixty seconds of powering up. And the full illumination is reached over a period of 1/3 of an hour.

This period can be adjusted by varying the resistance connected to pin number 9. The current limiting resistance of 2.2 ohms along with the capacitor of 0.015microFarrad connected across it also acts as a RFI suppressor.

Before each operation, there should be a minimum interval of 5 to 10 minutes. During this time the 3300microFarrad capacitor gets discharged through the 10K resistor and the diode connected with it. As the circuit is connected to main supply, caution should be taken while in use.

Transceiver Homebrew QRP SSB 80M Band

Radio communication transceiver is a radio transmitter at the same time the plane doubles as a radio receiver used for communication purposes. It consists of the transmitter and the receiver are assembled in an integrated way. In mulamula generation, the transmitter or receiver or transmitter and receiver sections are assembled separately and is part of a stand sendirisendiri and can work well sendirisendiri Currently employed both parts are integrated in turn. Aircraft simple transmitter consists of an oscillator generating radio vibration and this vibration after vibration boarded with our voice, in a technique called dimodulir radio, then by the antenna is converted into radio waves and transmitted. As we know that the sound waves we can not reach long distances, although its power is quite large, while the radio waves with a relatively small force can reach a distance of thousands of kilometers. In order for our voice can reach a far distance, then our voice superimposed on radio w...

NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram

The NE566 Function Generator is a Voltage-Controlled Oscillator of exceptional linearity with buf fered square wave and triangle wave outputs. The frequency of oscillation is determined by an external resistor and capacitor and the voltage applied to the control terminal. The Oscillator CAN be programmed over a ten-to-one frequency range by proper selection of an external resistance and modulated over a ten-to-one range by the control voltage, with exceptional linearity.

TDA2030 complete tone control

At this time I present a series of amplifiers that use IC TDA2030, but this series is equipped with a tone control. Tone controls include Bass, Treebel, and Volume. Power amplifier and tone control has been put together in a single PCB. As well as its power supply circuit was also used as one with the power amp, and tone control. Making it easier in the installation and will look neat. Schematics Layout PCB PCB design This amplifier is a mono amplifier type, can be modif for guitar amplifiers. If not coupled amplifier (mic preamp) then you must deactivated potensio treble and bass, why? because if not using a mic preamp and still maintain potensio treble and bass sound input (input) from the guitar will not or the maximum discharge is not tight on the speakers. So you must deactivated a way to decide which directly connected capacitor with the tone control circuit, and capacitor were connected directly to potensio volume and input jack.
