LED DIMMER WITH CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

In this circuit, at the starting LED glow slowly, then grown brighter and once again slowly it became dim. The basis of the whole circuit is an operational amplifier IC named LM358.

Working of LED Lamp Dimmer Circuit:

LM358 is mainly made up of a package which contains two not dependent operational  amplifiers of high gain. The most significant attribute of these IC is that we have no need of the  independent power supply for the functioning of each comparator till the large range of the power supply. LM358 can be employed like transducer amplifier or can be worked as DC gain block etc. The huge DC voltage gain of the LM358 IC is 100db. For the only power supply this IC can work on the voltage range of 3V to 32V while for the twin power supply this IC work on the range of ±1. 5V to ±16V . And moreover large output voltage is also supported by it.
Pin configuration of the IC LM358 is being described below:
Pin Configuration of IC LM358 Pin Configuration of IC LM358
To get a triangle wave an op-amp is used in the circuit that has been explained here. It is only due to the triangular wave that the LED start glowing slowly and became brighter and then slowly  gets off and again it becomes brighter slowly. The same cycle goes on repeat many of the times.
In the one independent op-amp from the package there is two input pin while one pin as the output, as it shown on the figure that explained above. Pin 2 which is a negative pin and pin 3 which is the positive pin are the two input terminals of the op-amp. For the positive feedback pin 3 is used and if there is a desire of the negative feedback pin 2 is used. When there is no feedback given to the op-amp than at that state infinite gain, is the ideal condition for the op-amp.
When the voltage at pin number 2 which is a negative pin is higher as compared with the voltage at pin 3 i.e. a positive pin than the output will be received towards maximum positive voltage while if there is a slight boost at the negative pin of the op-amp as compared with the positive pin of the op-amp than the output moves in the direction of the negative maximum. This characteristic of op-amp craft it appropriate for the use of level detection.
The voltage level which we want to detect is applied to either of the input pins and the voltage to be detected is applied to the other pin. In your circuit we are applying a voltage on positive pin that is at pin 3 and voltage to be detected is applied at negative pin. At the instance when the input voltage given to the positive pin is a little more than that of the voltage given at the negative pin, at that condition the output rapidly mounts to the positive maximum and reside in the positive state till the input voltage drop lower than the level to be detected. The same phenomenon is being used in this circuit too. For the timing component resistor R5 as well as capacitor C1 is used. State of the pin 3 switches from high to low condition depending upon the charging and discharging of the capacitor used in the circuit and as a reference to it pin 2 of the op-amp obtains the desire output. For the driving of the LED transistor T1 is used in the circuit as a signal amplifier and to protect the LED from the damage due to high current resistor R6 is employed in the circuit as a current limiter.
Circuit Components:
  • IC
  • LM358 – 1
  • T1 (BC547) – 1
  • R1, R2 (4.7K) – 2
  • R3 (22K) – 1
  • R4 (10K) – 1
  • R5 (4.7M) – 1
  • R6 (100E) – 1
  • C1 (. 47uF) – 1
  • LED – 3
Component Description:
  1. LM358: These devices consist of two independent, high-gain, frequency-compensated operational amplifiers designed to operate from a single supply over a wide range of voltages. Operation from split supplies also is possible if the difference between the two supplies is 3 V to 32 V (3 V to 26 V for the LM2904), and Vcc is at least 1.5 V more positive than the input common-mode voltage. The low supply-current drain is independent of the magnitude of the supply voltage.
  2. Transistor: A three terminal electronic tool employed to amplify weak input signals. A transistor made up of two PN junction diode linked back to back. Transistor are of many type viz bipolar junction transistor, Field effect transistor and photo transistor. They are mainly used in electrical machine as of their lesser size as well as light weight.
  3. LED: LED stands for light emitting diode. It is made up of semiconductor device. When power supply is provided to LED  electrons combines with the hole and energy  is released in the form of light. LED are Available in  many color like Red  Orange Amber Yellow  Green  Blue  White.  Now a day’s LED’s are also available in visible, ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths and have high brightness.

Dimmers tend to be fundamentally which can be employed to range this settings associated with LED dimmer lamps. With brought dimmers an individual range this intensity associated with mild productivity by means of raising or even reducing RMS voltage therefore this indicate capacity to this table lamp.

Automatic Railway Gate Controller with Circuit Diagram

The main aim of this project is to operate and control the unmanned railway gate in the proper manner in order to avoid the accidents in the unmanned railway crossing. In a country like ours where there are many unmanned railway crossings, accidents are increasing day by day. These train accidents are due to the absence of human power in the railway. In order to overcome the accidents due to the above problem we have planned to design the project. Automatic Railway Gate Control System with High Speed Alerting System is an innovative circuit which automatically controls the operation of railway gates detecting the arrival and departure of trains at the gate. It has detectors at the far away distance on the railway track which allows us to know the arrival and departure of the train. These detectors are given to microcontroller which activates the motors which open/close the railway gate correspondingly. Another feature of this circuit is that it has an intellige...

Rain Alarm Project

Water is basic need in every one’s life. Saving and proper usage of water is very important. Here is an easy project which will give the alarm when there is rain, so that we can make some actions and save the rain water. As a result, we can increase the water levels of underground water by using underwater recharge technique. Rain water detector will detect the rain and make an alert; rain water detector is used in the irrigation field, home automation, communication, automobiles etc. Here is the simple and reliable circuit of rain water detector which can be constructed at low cost. Rain Alarm Project Block Diagram: Rain water sensor is the main component in the circuit. For this rain sensor, no need to go and buy in the market or online. We can do it ourselves just by taking the piece of Bakelite or mica board and aluminum wire. Bakelite or mica board should be made completely flat and aluminum wire should be pasted on the flat board as shown in the figure below o...
