Objectives 1. To construct voltage level detector. 2. To construct an undervoltage indicator which gives L.E.D signal whenever a low voltage is detected compare to reference voltage. 3. To combine voltage level detector and undervoltage indicator for observing their relationship. A. Voltage Level Detector Components: 1. IC (Intergrationcircuit) LM741 2. L.E.D (light emitted diode) 3. 330Ω resistor 4. 3.3kΩ resistor 5. 24kΩ resistor

1. 2. 3. 4.
The circuit shown in diagram is constructed. 3V (around 0.07A) is supplied to Vref. Vin with voltage below 3V and above is supplied, the difference is observed. 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 undervoltage indicator is combined by gathering both Vref of voltage level detector and undervoltage indicator while VBat of voltage level detector with Vin of undervoltage 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.
