LED Flasher Circuit PPT Presentation

This document describes a LED flash circuit using a unijunction transistor (UJT) that was designed by three students. The circuit uses a UJT as a simple oscillator to create a flashing effect for the LED. As the capacitor charges through a resistor, it reaches the firing threshold of the UJT and discharges through the LED, causing it to flash. Adjusting resistor values controls the flashing rate and brightness. The students propose increasing the flashing rate and brightness of the LED for more useful applications like warning devices.

LED FLASH CIRCUIT USING

UJT
DONE BY :
 BHANUPRAKAS
H

 BHARATH RAM

 BRIJESH
OBJECTIVES
 Flashlights are used as a light source outdoors, in places
without permanently installed lighting, during power
outages, or when a portable light source is needed 
 LED flashlights are brighter and more efficient flashlights
than regular flashlights
 The aim is to construct a LED flash circuit using unijunction
transistor(UJT)
 It can be used in  warning devices, safety blinkers etc..
 UJT 2N 2646 is used as a simple oscillator
CIRCUIT DESIGN - 1
with the oscillating components resistor
R1and capacitor C2.
 The LED is connected between the base2
(B2) of the UJT and the ground. Resistor
R2 restricts current through the UJT as
well as LED.
 At power on, capacitor C2 charges
through resistor R1 and when it fully
charges, emitter of UJT forward biases
and current flows into the base. LED then
lights.
 The discharge of C2 is followed by its
charging again creating an oscillating
cycle so that LED flashes.
 Capacitor C1 charges via Resistors R1 &
CIRCUIT DESIGN - 2 R2, As soon as the voltage level across the
capacitor exceeds the firing threshold of
the UJT, it fires and discharges C1 though
the LED.
 If R2 is adjusted too low, the unijunction
transistor will not reset itself and the LED
will light continuously.
 The 1Ω resistor is a shunt for monitoring
LED current , it is not required for circuit
operation.
 R4 is not absolutely necessary, but it tends
to reduce peak battery current when the
device fires.
PROPOSAL
 This project is very useful if we increase the S.no Component Quantity

blinking rate and brightness of LED


1 Capacitor 100µF 3
 The blinking rate is determined by the
2 Resistor (1.2K Ω,100 Ω, 1 Ω, 12K 1
resistor and capacitor connected to the Ω, 470 Ω), Variable Resistor –
10K Ω
emitter of UJT
 The LED brightness level is decided by the 3 UJT – 2N 2646, 2N 4871 1
4 2
resistor connected to the base of UJT Breadboard
5 LED 2
 In this circuit UJT acts as relaxation 6 Battery 9-12 v 2
oscillator. So, UJT requires a low value of 7 Connecting wires  
triggering current.
