Universal Remote Control Receiver


The circuit diagram shown in Fig.1 uses a PNA4602M IR detector to receive an IR signal from  the remote control. It’s a neat device, which contains an IR receiver, amplifier and demodulator together in a single 3-pin package, and it’s normally used in circuits where you want to decode an IR remote control signal. 

The way the circuit (Fig.1) works is as follows. When there is no IR coded signal present, the output pin of IC1 remains high. This high signal is fed to the trigger input of the 555 timer (IC2), which being configured as a monostable timer, prevents the timer operating. 

Whenever you briefly press any key on the old remote control its IR signal is received by IC1 and output pin 1 produces a train of fast moving high and low pulses, which mimic the IR signal code sent by the remote control. We are not interested in this code, but as soon as the signal switches low it triggers the monostable timer IC2 and its output pin 3 goes high for a short period of time, set by resistor R2 and capacitor C2.

The 555 timer (IC2) basically acts as a debounce circuit, and its output is fed into the clock pin (CLK) of the 4013B dual Dtype flip-flop IC3. Only one half of the chip is used in this application, and it is configured as a bi-stable flip-flop.

An initial clock signal into IC3 causes its output pin 2 to go high, and it remains high until another IR signal is received. To switch the output off you simply press any button on the old remote control again and the above operation is repeated, but this time IC3’s output is switched off and remains off until another signal is received. The output basically acts as a toggle switch. 

The output pin in this circuit drives an LED to show the output status. However, the output could be easily interfaced to drive a transistor and relay to switch a higher load. The circuit could then be used to remotely switch equipment in your garage, shed or office.

Don’t forget that you need to use the circuit in an area where IR remote controls are not normally present, because the circuit will operate with virtually any IR remote control. Capacitor C1, positioned across the output of the IR receiver (IC1), stops spurious triggering from artificial lighting, which can occur if this isn’t in place.

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.  FMAX = 1 MHz     WIDE 1000:1 Continuous Sweep Possible  NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram Pdf Datasheet  Sourced by : Circuitsstream

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...
