This clock is for nostalgic people from “another electronic age” (without microprocessors). It’s a digital “old fashioned” clock and it’s already seen too many winters.
This circuit is based on the infrared receiver IS471F. The running principle of the circuit is easy.The transmitter is an infrared LED that emits a modulated signal monitored by the 4-pin of the IS471F.
This led clock circuit is quite complicated to assembly, because of the great quantity of connections it has, but the result is quite visible.
When we have an audio circuit, it is necessary, for the better shielding, and to avoid unnecessary noise, to create a ground plane.
With a simple circuit and a microcontroller pic, 16F873A model, we designed this digital voltmeter in addition to any power source.
It’s quite simple to use, as a normal power supply, the PC power supply when we need 5 or 12 volts, which are the powers given to us by connectors from the power source ATX.
The integrated circuit CD4040 is a programmable divider. Its mission is to divide the present frequency in pin 10.
That power supply may be configured, because depending on our voltage regulator, we’ll get more and less current at its output.
This information can be useful when there is a problem in turning on the computer. When we start the PC, we can hear several “beeps” which show us how our hardware is.
This precise full-wave-rectifier is a circuit made to rectify those values that a normal bridge rectifier cannot rectify.The diminution of the diode bridge rectifier’s typical power is (obviously, it depends on the type of the diodes) of the 0,7 volts-an approximate value.
