LED indicators of the ALS321, ALS324, ALS333 series and many others have good lighting characteristics, but in the nominal mode they consume quite a lot of current - about 20 mA for each element. With dynamic indication, the amplitude value of the current is several times greater.

The industry produces decoders K514ID1, K514ID2, KR514ID1, KR514ID2 as BCD-to-seven-element converters. They are unsuitable for working together with the indicated indicators with a common cathode, since the maximum allowable current of the output key transistors of the K514ID1 and KR514ID1 decoders does not exceed 4 ...

On fig. 1 shows an option for matching the K514ID1 decoder and the powerful ALS321 A indicator with a common cathode. For example, the diagram shows the inclusion of the element "a". The remaining elements are switched on through similar transistor-resistor targets. The output current of the decoder does not exceed 1 mA at a supply current of the indicator element of about 20 mA.

On fig. 2 shows the matching of the ALS321 B indicator (with a common anode) with the KR514ID1 decoder. This option is advisable to use in the absence of the K514ID2 decoder.

On fig. 3 shows a circuit for turning on an indicator with a common cathode.

The circuits shown in the figures for switching on powerful indicators are also suitable for dynamic indication. The common cathode of the indicator elements (Fig. 1 and 3) is connected to the collector of the switching transistor of the npn structure, the emitter of which is connected to the common wire of the device. In the node according to the diagram in Fig. 2, the common anode of the indicator is connected to the collector of the switching pnp transistor, and its emitter is connected to the positive wire of the power source.

To increase the brightness of the glow of the indicator elements in dynamic mode, you can slightly increase the supply voltage of the indicators or reduce the resistance of the resistors in the emitter circuit of the transistors. The amplitude value of the current through the indicator elements will increase, but the average value will remain within acceptable limits.

KT315B transistors can be replaced by any of the KT315, KT3102, KT503 series, and KT361B transistors - KT361, KT3107, KT209, KT501, KT502.

The decoders KR514ID1, KR514ID2 are similar to the decoders K514ID1, K514ID2, respectively, and differ only in the housing design, therefore, in fig. 1 shows the pin numbering for K514ID1, and in fig. 2 - for KR514ID1.

The matching option shown in Fig. 1, when the ambient temperature and supply voltage change, the brightness of the indicator glow can change significantly. These changes will be less if the resistor R1 is included in the collector circuit of the transistor VT1.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>
