Video Switch Circuit Using MAX454

This is a video switching circuit. This circuit will provide a dedicated monitor for every installed camera is not efficient, and your CRT monitor might suffer phosphor burn if it used to display static image from only one camera. To display 1, 2, 3, or 4 cameras in one monitor, you need a video switcher circuit. This is the figure of the circuit.


The core of this video switcher is MAX454 video multiplexer-amplifier from MAXIM. Care must be taken when designing the video signal path around this chip. Ground plane or track can be inserted between video signal channels to prevent crosstalk and noise interference. Using socket for IC is bad idea, if you should solder the chip directly to the PCB. You can see a CD4017 sequencer driving the channel indicators (LED1-LED4). The output of this sequencer is not only drives the indicators, but also decoded to 2 bit binary data by D1…D4 to address the MAX454 multiplexer.

Indoor and Outdoor Temperature Controller Circuit

This is a design controller for indoor and outdoor temperature. This circuit is intended for controlling a heating system or central heating plan, keep room temperature constant despite changes in the external one. This is the figure of the circuit.


In principle of work this circuit is when the Q1 to the ground voltage by less than half of supply voltage (determined by R7 & R9), the voltage generated in the R8 and the driver transistors Q2 & Q3-switch on the relay. Two sensors required, one placed outside the home, to sense an external temperature. When Q1 Base voltage to the ground more than half of the voltage supply, caused when one of NTC thermistor low value because of the increase in temperature, voltage does not appear in the R8 and the Relay is not active. C3 allows clean switching of Relay. P1 functions as the main temperature control.
