ICL7107 Digital Voltmeter

The circuit given here is of digital voltmeter with LED 7-segment display using the ICL7107. It measures voltage from 0.00V to 99.9V. ICL7107 is a 3 1/2 digit A/D converters with LED 7-Segment Driver.

The Intersil ICL7106 and ICL7107 are high performance, low power, 31/2 digit A/D converters. Included are seven segment decoders, display drivers, a reference, and a clock. The ICL7106 is designed to interface with a liquid crystal display (LCD) and includes a multiplexed backplane drive; the ICL7107 will directly drive an instrument size light emitting diode (LED) display.

DTMF Decoder MT8870

This circuit detects the dial tone (DTMF Tone) from a telephone line and decodes the keypad pressed on the remote telephone. The dial tone we heard when we pick up the phone set is call Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF). The name was given because the tone that we heard over the phone is actually make up of two distinct frequency tone, hence the name dual tone. The DTMF tone is a form of one way communication between the dialer and the telephone exchange. A complete communication consist of the tone generator and the tone decoder. In this article, we are use the IC MT8870, the main component to decode the input dial tone to 5 digital output. These digital bits consists of pressed key code 4-bit and 1-bit to tell that data is available. It can be interface to a microcontroller for further application such as remote control, IVRS (Interactive voice control systems) etc. Continue reading DTMF Decoder MT8870

Flow Meter using Arduino

In this tutorial we are designing flow meter using arduino, basically we use arduino boot loader controller on our custom made PCB.

A flow meter is a device used to measure the flow rate or quantity of a gas or liquid moving through a pipe. Flow measurement applications are very diverse and each situation has its own constraints and engineering requirements. Flow meters are referred to by many names, such as flow gauge, flow indicator, liquid meter, etc. depending on the particular industry; however the function, to measure flow, remains the same.
