A Small project on Battery level Indicator
Working principle of this circuit is battery voltage compared with the reference voltage. This circuit is constructed by using 741 op-amp ICs. Op-amp is differential amplifier which output will be positive or negative, depends on the difference of input voltages.
When the input voltage difference is positive with respect to reference voltage and battery voltage, then the output is positive and the LED will emit light. If negative LED cannot emit light. It is the main principle of battery level indicator.
Voltage level indicated by the column of LEDs. For easy of reading LED rearranged in a vertical array.
The top four LEDs indicates the battery voltage is high. Sequentially the lower level indicates the battery voltage is low and bottom four LEDs indicates very low voltage of the battery. So, if the battery voltage continues to decline then LEDs will die in sequence from top to bottom. In this circuit 1mA current is adjusted for reference voltage. Vcc is divided by the total number of resistor for finding the value of resistor R. On the other hand, the resistor value of R1 is calculated by the equation,
Component:
1. Op-amp IC 741
2. R = 3kΩ
3. R1 =220kΩ
4. Diode
Operation:
The voltage drop against the each resistor is 3 volt.
So when the Vin = 0v or less than 3v the output of all op-amp are at
–Vsat . The silicon diodes protect the light emitting diodes against excessive reverse bias voltage.
When Vin is increased to a value 3v to 6v, only the output of op-amp#1 goes positive to light which indicate “Very Low”.
When Vin is increased to a value 3v and 6v, the output of op-amp#1 and op-amp#2 are at +Vsat and goes positive to light which indicate “Low”.
When Vin is increased to a value 6v and 9v, the output of op-amp#1, op-amp#2 and op-amp#3 are at +Vsat and goes positive to light which indicate “Medium”.
Similarly, when Vin increased to 12v or higher, the output of all op-amps are at +Vsat and all op-amps output goes positive to emit light of all LEDs which indicate “Full” .

220V AC ULTRA BRIGHT LEDS LAMP CIRCUIT SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
220V AC ULTRA BRIGHT LEDS LAMP CIRCUIT SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
The schematics circuit of above employs capacitive reactance for limiting the current flow through the LEDs on the application of mains voltage to the circuit. We use only if a series resistor for limiting the current with mains operation. The 100-ohm, 2W resistor series avoids heavy 'inrush' During current transients. MOV at the input prevents surges or spikes, protecting the circuit. The 390-kilo-ohm, ½-watt resistor acts as a bleeder to Provide discharge path for capacitor Cx Pls mains supply is disconnected. The zener diode at the output section prevents excess levels of reverse voltage appearing across the LEDs During the negative half-cycles. During the positive half cycle, the voltage across the LEDs is limited to the zener voltage.

16-LED/46-LED CIRCUIT COMBINATION SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
16-LED/46-LED CIRCUIT COMBINATION SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
Aseries combination of 16 LEDs Gives a luminance (lux) equivalent of a 12W bulb. But if you have two series combinations of 23 LEDs in parallel (Total 46 LEDs), it Gives equal to a 35W light bulb.
Diode D1 (1N4007) and capacitor C1 act as rectifying and smoothing elements to Provide DC voltages to the row of LEDs. For a 16-LED row, use Cx of 12:22 µF, 630V; C1 of 22 µF, 100V; and zener of 48V, 1W. Similarly, for 46 LEDs combination use Cx of 0:47 mF, 630V; C1 of 33 µF, 150V; and zener of 69V, 1W. This circuit (inclusive of LEDs) costs Rs 200 to Rs 400.

VU METER 10 LED CIRCUIT SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
VU METER 10 LED CIRCUIT SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
The LED VU meter is simpler and smaller than it's analogue counterpart, and is very common in audio equipment. This version is based on a National Semiconductor IC, and uses the logarithmic version. Each LED operates with a 3dB difference from the previous one, and a jumper is provided to allow dot or bar mode.
The circuit is completely conventional, and is based on the application notes from National Semiconductor. The circuit is shown picture below and as you can see it uses a single IC and a few discrete components. DC to the LEDs is almost unfiltered - C1 is included to make sure the IC does not oscillate, and is not a filter cap. This allows a higher LED current with lower dissipation than would be the case if the DC were fully smoothed, and full smoothing would also require a much larger capacitor. This increases the size and cost of the project - especially important if it is to be used in larger numbers as may be the case with a mixer or analyser.

LED INDICATOR AUDIO AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
LED INDICATOR AUDIO AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
This circuit, connected to the loudspeaker output of an audio amplifier, will indicate the instantaneous output power delivered to the loudspeaker(s) by means of six LEDs illuminating one after another by voltage values increasing little by little, providing the visual impression of a luminous bar or column, increasing and decreasing in height following the increase and decrease of the signal’s level.
Notes:
* The output power indicated by each LED must be doubled when 4 Ohms loads are driven.
* The circuit can be adapted to suit less powerful amplifiers by reducing the number of LEDs and related voltage dividers.

IR Remote Control Circuit using Op amp 741
IR circuit is called Infrared Circuit. Remote controls are very much popular now-a-days. It is specially called cordless circuit. This circuit is very simple and low cost cordless remote control circuit which is based on infrared rays.
Figure 1 shows the transmitter circuit. The transmitter produces infrared rays and that can be easily transmitted up to 4 meters with a special convex lens and a twin LED arrangements.
Figure 2 shows the receiver circuit. Op amp IC1-741 generates high frequency squire wave which provides the gate pulses for SCR1. IC1’s output current flows through SRC1 and it is conducting current and enables the LED to emits infrared rays. The output frequency of Op amp IC1 depends on the variable resistor VR1, which in turns varies the output radiations of the LED.
When IR rays fall on the photo-transistor T1 of the receiver, then base of the photo-transistor’s base produces charge carriers at a rate depending on the rate of arrival of incident radiations at the pn junction of the transistor. Then the resulting emitter voltage is amplified by Op amp IC-2 . The amplified signal is rectified by D2. Finally the amplified signal is to drive the relay.
