    This document describes a mini project involving an LED flasher circuit. The circuit contains a 5V voltage source, 4 resistors including two 100 ohm resistors and two 1,000 ohm resistors, two 10 microfarad capacitors, two NPN transistors, and two LEDs. The circuit functions to alternately flash the two LEDs, which could be used for applications like traffic lights. It works by using the transistors as switches that control whether current flows through each LED as the capacitors charge and discharge. Increasing the capacitance value would lengthen the time between flashes.

    EASY EDA MINI PROJECT

    JOHN YESUA S. HERMO


    from BSME 2-1
    Mechanical Engineering Department
    Polytechnic University of the Philippines

    COMPOSITION:

    The circuit is composed of a one-terminal voltage source with a reading of 5


    Volts, 4 resistors which two of them has a readings of 100 Ohms and the other two has
    a reading of 1,000 ohms, two capacitor with a reading of 10 microfarad, 2 bipolar NPN
    transistors, 4 ground and 2 LED Flasher.

    FUNCTION:

    This type of circuit can be used in traffic lights or any application that is related to
    LED Programming. For example, if you want to make a road traffic light when the LED
    blinks indicating for a person to stop. If you will put the left traffic light (LED Light from
    the circuit) in a North-to-South crossing street, and you will put the right traffic light (LED
    Light from the circuit) in a West-to-South crossing street; once the left LED will blink,
    simultaneously the right LED will be open. Meaning; in the North-to-South crossing
    street, cars will stop and simultaneously in the West-to-South crossing street, cars could
    drive since the ‘red light’ is not turned on.

    HOW CIRCUIT WOULD WORK:

    PS: Before starting an explanation I would like to indicate the placement of


    transistor, capacitor, and LED relative to the position on the circuit indicating whether
    left or right.

    Let it be known that one of the functions of a transistor can be used as a switch
    and a short or an open equivalent circuit.

    Initially, the voltage source will supply 5V to the rightmost resistor which is
    100Ohms, making the transistor in the right shorted. Now since the transistor on the
    right is shorted, no electric flow on the right LED makes the LED open (no light would
    appear).

    Simultaneously, the current that is passing through the rightmost 1,000 Ohms
    resistor, the capacitor is now charging. Once the capacitor is fully charged, it will supply
    the rightmost LED; making it work (light would appear). As the capacitor is supplying the
    rightmost LED, it is also supplying the leftmost transistor making it shorted.

    Once the leftmost transistor is shorted, the current will flow from the leftmost 100
    Ohms and since it shorted, the leftmost LED will be open (no light would appear). As the
    current flows to the leftmost transistor, there is also current flowing from the leftmost
    1,000 Ohms making the leftmost capacitor to charge.
    Finally, the leftmost capacitor will be fully charged, it will supply the leftmost LED
    and make the LED light work (light would appear). Simultaneously, as it supplies the
    leftmost LED, it is also making the rightmost transistor to be shorted thus making the
    LED in the light to open (no light would appear). The cycle will repeat and continue to
    alternate the flashing of LED.

    If you want to delay the flashing of LED light, like the example above for traffic
    light or road light which has 30-45 seconds interval, then you can increase the value of
    the capacitance of the capacitor for it takes a longer time to charge or fill up.
