7555 or TS555CN based Courtesy Light circuit
15 seconds delayed switch-off, A good idea for bedroom lamps
This
circuit is intended to let the user turn off a lamp by means of a
switch placed far from bed, allowing him enough time to lie down before
the lamp really switches off. Obviously, users will be able to find
different applications for this circuit in order to suit their needs.
Parts :
R1 = 470R 1/2W
R2 = 100K
R3 = 1M5
R4 = 1K
C1 = 330nF-400V
C2 = 100µF-25V
C3 = 10nF-63V
C4 = 10µF-25V
C5 = 10nF-63V
D1 = 1N4007
D2 = 1N4007
D3 = BZX79C10
D4 = TIC206M
Q1 = BC557
IC1 = 7555 or TS555CN CMos Timer IC
SW1 = SPST Mains suited Switch
Circuit operation:
Due
to the low current drawing, the circuit can be supplied from 230Vac
mains without a transformer. Supply voltage is reduced to 10Vdc by means
of C1 reactance, a two diode rectifier cell D1 & D2 and Zener
diode D3. IC1 is a CMos 555 timer wired as a monostable, providing 15
seconds on-time set by R3 & C4. When SW1 is closed, IC1 output (pin
3) is permanently on, driving Triac D4 which in turn feeds the lamp.
Opening SW1 operates the monostable and, after 15 seconds, pin 3 of
IC1 goes low switching off the lamp.
