The res'et ph of NE555 is 'activelow', i.e., when tl're voltage on this pir.r
falls below 0.7V (approximately) itmakes the output low too (0V), overriding all tlre other inputs. ln the MagicEye circuit, this pin is norurally held
high in the astable rnode, the output(Pin3) of the NE555 becomes high and
oscillations are gerreratecl at this pinwhich can be used to drive loudspeakers, motors, piezo-
elechic transtlucers, etc. The ortput of this IC can sink and
source rlp to 200mA, This is more than most ICs and it issuf{icient to supply many output trans-
ducers directly, including loudspeakers
(with a capacitol in series to block the
DC and allow the AC to pass).
Ligitt DeperuIeni Resistor (LDR):
A light dependent resistor (LDR) or a
photo-resistor is a resistor whose resist-
ance decreases with increasing incidentlight interrsity. It can also be referrecl to
as a photoconductor, An LDR is made ofa high resistance serniconcluctor. If light

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Arrplication of the circuitA requlated power supply is one of themost important and essential require-rrrent in electronic lab. The availablepor'/er -r'-rpply must provide variableoutputs ir.r steps as different appliancesiequrre different supply voltages vary-ing in the range of 1.5V to 12V. Also,
the outputs must be easy to select andunit shoulci provide proper display. The
iti'es€ni circuii is r.iesignecl with keep-ing above points in mind. lt gives vari-able and fluctuation free DC voltage as
output in the rangr-' of 1.5V to 12V.
Proper display of output selected, nega-tive supply voltage and mains ON con-dition are provided using LEDs.
Explained working of circuitDividing the whole circuii in two parts
as power supply section and voltage se-
lector section, we have their detailedworking as explained below:l. POWER SUPPLY SECTION; Trans-
fornrer X1 steps down 230VA,C.mains to 12V-0-12V, I A A.C. current.Diodes D1 to D4 form a bridge recti-fier to rectify stepped down voltageiu D.C. wiriic adiid!;ioi5 ii to C4 uy.pass undesireil spikr:s. Further filter-ing is perfcrme.cl by capacitors C5
and C13. Tliis positive 12V DC outputis Lrsed to operate lC1,lC2, lC4 and toget variable output. A fixed negativel2V DC outilut is obtained using lC7912 (lC3). Yellow LED2 indicatesnegative 12V output while Red LEDIindicates mains ON condition.
.l VOL'IAGE SILECTOR SECTION: Thevoltage selecting section is used toobtain variable voltage in nirresteps, from 1.5V to 1 2V. The sectionis ccntered around variable regula-tr:r lC 1M317 (lCa). The versatility ofthis lC allows us to obtain voltageranging frorn 1.2V to 37V. But as in-put here is linrited to 12V, the lC out-put is also limited.fo this level. Thevoltage at its output pin 2 is relatedto input resistance as follows:
Vout = 1.25(1+'VRset/R16) Volts.......Eq. 1
it is c!ear fron'r al:ove equation thatto vary Vorrt, VRsct shuuld be varied(keeping R16 fixrcJ). |lert' Rl6 is set to220ohms and VRset i:l tire :iariable re-
sistance. A particular lireset should be
selected at a tirne srtch tlrat voltage var-ies accordirrgly, This is dontr by lC
CD4017 (lC2) that is configured here as
decacie ring counier. ;At each [lockpulse, the counter advances its otltput
to higher stage. The clock pulses aregenerated by astable multivibrator us-in-q lC NE555 (lC1) whenever switch 52is pressed. The output selected turns ON
the respective transistor (T1 to T10 tran-5istors acting here as switches) and pre-set connected at that transistor getsconnected to regulator. The output volt-agr: varies according to value of resis-
tance offered by this preset" The corre-sponding LED also glows to indicate se-letr.ed voitage levei-
For exarnple, when switch 52 is
prerssed eight times, decade counter(lC2) gives high level output only at itspin 9. This enables transistor T9 to con-du,:t and LED10 starts glowing.The pre-
set VRB is connected at collector of T9
and adjust pin 'l of regulator (lC4). Thusvoltage Vout is proportional to resi5-
tance offered by VRB (putting VRset =VR8 in Eq.1). As value of VR8 is already
set to provide 10.5V, the desired out-put is obtained.
, When reset switch 53 is pressed, firstoutput (pin 3), gets selected to turn Tlon ancl VRset becomes equal to zero.
eutting VRset = 0 in Eq. 1, we,have Vout
= 1.25V. Thus at reset, output voltagebeco.mes 1.25V. ln this way, the unit is
The circuit will not provide proper volt-age outputs without prior settings. Onlyafter proper settings are done (de-scribed here), the circuit will give de-sired outputs without any hassle.
