1. The circuit shown in diagram is constructed. 2. 3V (around 0.07A) is supplied to Vref. 3. Vin with voltage below 3V and above is supplied, the difference is
observed. 4. Vref with 2V,4V and 5V is supplied. When the LED begin to flash, the voltage value of Vin is jot down in Table 2.
C. Combination of Voltage Level Detector and Under voltage Indicator Procedures: 1. Both voltage level detector and under voltage indicator is combined by
gathering both Vref of voltage level detector and under voltage indicator while VBat of voltage level detector with Vin of under voltage indicator. 2. Vref with a constant voltage value which is 5V is supplied. 3. The combination of VBat and Vin is supplied with 5V, 4.5V, 4V, 3.5V and until 0V. 4. The observation is recorded in Table 3.

Suggestions for further work in the future: 1. Prepare the electrical and electronic components which in good condition. 2. Do not use red maker while writing on the whiteboard because it is unclear. 3. Use LCD projector to show how to do the experiment. 4. Use microphone to give the explanation.
Conclusions: 1. The voltage level detector was constructed. 2. The under voltage indicator was constructed and gave the L.E.D signal whenever a low voltage was detected compare to reference voltage. 3. The voltage level detector and under voltage indicator were combined and their relationship were observed.
