Abstract Electrocardiography (ECG) is the interpretation of the electrical activity of one’s heart over
a period of time. Recently, there has been increased interest and demand in ECG
measurement devices called Electrocardiograms (also abbreviated ECG) for use in the
medical and research fields. This application note will attempt to give the reader a
background on ECG signals as well the methods and design techniques that go into designing
an ECG demonstration board.
Cells in humans act like little batteries. These cells have different ion concentrations inside
and outside of their membranes which create small electric potentials called biopotentials.
When there is a disturbance in a biopotential this gives rise to an action potential which is
the depolarization and repolarization of the cell.
Essentially, the action potentials from different nodes in the heart are what make up
electrocardiograph (ECG) signals. ECG signals are comprised of the superposition of the
different action potentials from the heart beat. ECG machines use electrodes to convert the
ionic signals from the body into electrical signals to be displayed and used for data analysis.
However, due to the size of the signals and outside noise, ECG requires amplification and
filtering to produce high quality signals.
This project is basically based on three main block and few Sub block. These are as follows
a. The device uses a Right Leg drive circuit to receive the human heart signals.
b. The ECG signal generated are in the range from micro to millivolts due to which it needs
to be amplified
c. Then the amplified signal is filtered using various filters (HPF-0.5 Hertz, LPF-40Hertz and
NOTCH filter-50Hertz).
d. At last, the signal is passed to a oscilloscope for the analysis of the electro-cardiogram.
Title: Digital watch using 7 segment display
Abstract
The project demonstrates a digital stop watch utilizing 7-segment displays to accurately
display minutes and seconds. The stopwatch is composed of two mod 60 counters that
counts from 0 to 59, implemented using a 7490-decade counter and a 7447 BCD-to-7-
segment decoder. The counter is triggered by two pulse generator circuit based on a 555
timer, producing a pulse every 1 millisecond and 1 second respectively.
The 7490-decade counter serves as the primary counting component, incrementing its count
by one each second. Its binary output is then decoded by the 7447 decoders, driving the
appropriate segments of the 7-segment display to visually represent the minutes and
seconds.
The pulse generator circuit, utilizing the 555 timer, ensures precise timing by generating
regular pulses. These pulses trigger the counter, facilitating the accurate measurement of
time.
The reset button resets the timing and starts the counting again.
Title: Customised IC tester
Abstract We have made an IC tester which can check 4 IC, that are IC741, LM358, NE555, IC 7476. if
the IC are working fine then LEDs start blinking it shows IC are not defective but if LEDs are
not blinking then it is possible that IC is not working.
1) IC 741 tester
This IC 741 tester circuit is made up of one indicator LED, two 10k resistor, one 100k resistor,
and two 1uf capacitor. When an op-amp is added to the circuit, it becomes a pulse generator,
and if the testing IC is good, the LED glow. If the LED is not blinking, it is possible that the
testing IC is broken or malfunctioning.
2) LM358 IC tester
This LM358 is dual opamp, we have used two LED, four 10k resistor, two 100 k resistor, and
four 1uf capacitors in this circuit. When an op-amp is added to the circuit, it becomes a pulse
generator, and if the testing IC is good, the two LED alternately glow. If the LED are not
blinking alternatively, it is possible that the testing IC is broken or malfunctioning.
4) IC 7476 tester
In this circuit design we have made two circuit, first circuit for T Flipflop using ic jk flip flop
and one astable multivibrator circuit. Astable multivibrator circuit generate pulse which act
as clock pulse for T flip flop circuit and Both the LED will now blink, which means IC is working
fine.
The TL084 IC, a quad operational amplifier, serves as the central component for these
circuits. Its multiple operational amplifiers are utilized for different stages of signal
processing and shaping. The IC offers high gain, low distortion, and excellent performance,
making it suitable for this function generator application.
- The detection part is handled by an IR transmitter and receiver circuit made with the help
of Astable Multivibrator and Monostable Multivibrator. The output from the IR receiver is
fed as an input to the clock of the counter. The counter detects the clock pulses and counts
upwards.
- Now, to drive the Light we need to convert the Digital output from the counter to Analog.
To achieve this, we made a R-2R Ladder Digital-to-Analog converter using Op-Amp. As the
counter counts upwards, the output voltage increases.
- Lastly, we used an Amplifier to amplify the voltage output and then connected the LED to
it. The brightness of the LED increases as the count increases.
Title: HEARTBEAT COUNTER
Abstract The "Heartbeat Counter" project aims to develop a simple and cost-effective device for
measuring heart rate using an electret microphone, LM386 amplifier, comparator, and
decade counter. The project focuses on creating a portable and user-friendly solution that
can be utilized in various healthcare and fitness applications.
The system utilizes an electret microphone as a sensor to capture the acoustic signals
generated by the heartbeat. The microphone converts the acoustic waves into
corresponding electrical signals, which are then amplified by an LM386 audio amplifier. The
amplified signal is passed through a comparator (op-amp 741), which provides a digital
output (clock pulse) based on a predefined threshold. This threshold level is set to identify
the distinctive peaks generated by the heartbeats.
The digital output from the comparator is then fed into a decade counter (7490), which
counts the number of heartbeats over a specified time interval. The decade counter serves
to accumulate and display the heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) on a suitable display
module, seven-segment display.
It also consists of 1minute timer using 555, after 1 min it's high output will stop the heartbeat
counter.
The implementation of this heartbeat counter project involves carefully adjusting the
amplifier gain, comparator threshold, and integrating the components to ensure accurate
and reliable heartbeat detection. Additionally, power management and noise reduction
techniques are employed to enhance the system's performance and minimize interference.
