    ANSI Symbology for Proteus

    I believe there is a setting to select the symbol set. If not, it’s fairly easy to create your own custom symbols.

    LTSpice initial conditions help, please?

    That doesn't make the tool worthless. It makes the model worthless.

    Newbie Level-0 LED Question

    If you are testing the LED without using a series resistor then the LED should have burned up. Perhaps your power supply is current limiting.

    LED circuit for 1/6 scale diorama

    I think this will do what you want. At power on: 1. Light speed on and remains on. 2. Rediculus speed on 2s later and remains on. 3. Ludicrus speed on 2s after Rediculus speed, flashes 6 times, then resets the circuit. 4. Cycle repeats. I've used 74HC273 instead of CD4017 because I could make...

    Datasheet for LED filament

    I did... "if you want to know LED Vf/If detail and binning info, you'll need to find out the part number of the internal LED's, then search for a data sheet"

    Datasheet for LED filament

    These AC lamps are "binned" by color temperature. If you want to know LED Vf/If detail and binning info, you'll need to find out the part number of the internal LED's, then search for a data sheet.

    Simulation of AC Voltage regulator

    As written in post #16... First, change the value of V1 to "sine (0 {220*1.414} 50)" without quotes, re-run the sim, and post results.

    Signals and plane on the same layer

    A good ground plane will fill all areas of the board including between pads and traces. There are a lot of areas on the board that did not get filled by the plane. The most likely reason is that the clearances and/or the pads/traces are too big. Keep in mind that pad/traces sizes and clearances...

    Separate Brake Light From Turn Signal

    You could make GND a ground pour on the bottom side. Assuming you left space on the right side of mosfet Q4 to optionally mount it flat on the PCB, you might want to double check the orientation of its pins. A copper pour, with a mounting hole for the mosfet, and sized to accommodate the mosfet...

    LTSpice initial conditions help, please?

    I see two things.... The Zener is practically floating. The divider is putting ~60 volts on the gate. The max gate voltage is +/-20V.:oops: So I think the mosfet has been killed..;). EDIT: Download the library from Infineon. Use the model value IPD40DP06NM_L0 when using a standard 3 terminal...

    switch circuit

    R1 is 9k, try changing C to 2.2uf so timeout is ~22ms VCC should be 12v. If that doesn't work, you might have to drive an analog switch, or a small relay, with the 555 timer.

    Breakout box to test custom instrumentation cables

    What are the specs for cables? Are the required to operate thru a specific frequency range? DC only? Resistance test? Crosstalk test?

    LED driver

    Are you sure the Vf is 3V? The ones I've seen are 6V@150mA (Probably 2 or 3 internal LEDs in series). Can you post a part number and/or photo of them?

    LED driver

    What level is the AC supply voltage? How many series LEDs?

    Separate Brake Light From Turn Signal

    Hi TC I've gone back and rechecked this circuit and it turns out I had a bad CD4025B chip. I must have zapped it. Anyway, the circuit works as intended. I did make some minor mods though. I removed D10 and R4, not needed. Changed Rx1/Rx2 to 150k each to match the flash period of 705m Hz.
