Electronic Circuits Project Proposals
Proposal 1:-

Light Detector with Sensitivity Control

Circuit Diagram:-

Hardware:

Breadboard

Few Jumper Wires

9 Volts Battery

9 Volts Battery Clip

Light Dependent Resistor (LDR)

Light Emitting Diode (LED)

TLC3704 Quad Comparator (only one of its four comparators will be used)
(Alternatively, single LM311N Comparator with 8pin can be used)

3362P-103-ND 10K Ohms Variable Resistor

1K Ohms (Brown-Black-Red) Resistor X2

330 Ohms (Orange-Orange-Brown) Resistor

Description:The pair of 1K ohms resistors create a voltage divider and provide a 4.5 volts reference for the
comparator. The variable resistor and LDR both form another pair for a second voltage divider.
When light falls on the LDR, its resistance lowers and that voltage divider provides a voltage
lower than 4.5 volts. The comparator produces no output (0 volts). When light is absent, the
resistance of the LDR and the voltage increases. When the voltage increases over 4.5, the
comparator activates its output and supplies 9 volts to power the LED.

Proposal 2:-

Operational Amplifier Cell Phone Signal Detector

Circuit Diagram:-

Hardware:

Optional Buzzer
Miniature Potentiometer Trimmer TWL
22 AGW wire
Breadboard
9V battery
Snap Connector
Light Emitting Diode (LED)
500 K resistor
Thumb and Screw driver adjustment
1 microfarad capacitor
1 K resistor

Description:This circuit works well with 2G and 3G phones. This circuit uses an Op Amp to sense the
presence of activated cell phones from a distance of several meters. This circuit can detect any
activity of mobile activity of a mobile phone such as incoming/outgoing voice, voicemail,
texting and data. If a cell phone signal is detected the circuit will blink a LED and or a sound

buzzer. The phone must be transmitting and the only time a phone is transmitting is when it is
receiving or sending voice, text, internet or data. Sensitivity can be adjusted on the circuit by
adjusting the potentiometer. Adjust the Potentiometer until the LED is off with only an
occasional flicker. Again adjust the potentiometer very delicately until the LED or buzzer is just
barely off and only randomly blinking or buzzing from only the light background radiated noise
of your environment. Then the circuit should detect 2G-3G cell phone activity easily.

Proposal 03:-

Audio amplifier using LM386

Circuit Diagram:-

Hardware:

Multipurpose PCB with 417 Holes

5-15 Volt DC power supply (4 AA or 1 9v Battery)
8 Ohm Speaker
Audio Source e.g. iPod

8-Pin Retention Contact

IC1 IC
LM386 Audio Amp IC
R1 Resistor
10 Ohm
R2 Resistor
1K Ohm
R3 Potentiometer
10K Ohm
R4 Resistor
10 Ohm
C1 Capacitor
220 Micro Farad
C2 Capacitor
10 Micro Farad
C3 Capacitor
220 Micro Farad

Description:The LM386 is an audio amplifier designed for use in low voltage consumer applications. The
gain is internally set to 20 to keep external part count low, but the addition of an external resistor
and capacitor between pins 1 and 8 will increase the gain to any value from 20 to 200.
