ELM712

ELM712 LED Runner Description The ELM712 is a handy circuit for controlling up to five LEDs in novelty devices. One pushbutton press is all it takes to initiate about 15 seconds of LED activity, before the circuit reverts back to its very low current standby mode. All of the logic required for circuit operation is contained wholly within this 8 pin integrated circuit. Normally only a pushbutton, the LEDs, and a battery are all that are needed for a complete circuit. At higher voltages, a single current limiting resistor may be required to limit LED current. The ELM712 drives each LED output in a sequential fashion, at approximately 10 Hz. By only driving one output at a time, peak current and thus battery requirements are reduced.

Internal circuitry connected to this pin is used to provide power on reset of the microprocessor, so an external reset signal is not required. Refer to the Electrical Characteristics section for further information. LED1, LED2, LED3, LED4 and LED5 (pins 5, 6, 7, 2 and 3 respectively) These are the five active high LED drive outputs. They are energized in the order listed for approximately 20msec each, at a rate of 10Hz. Each output is capable of sourcing a maximum of 25mA of current, when the ELM712 is operated at the maximum supply level. start (pin 4) Momentarily connecting this pin to VSS will initiate an LED sequence that typically lasts for about 15 seconds. After this time, the circuit will revert back to the low power mode, waiting for another start signal. The circuit automatically senses a ‘stuck button’ condition as well and powers down the internal circuits, but not the internal pull-up resistor. VSS (pin 8) Circuit common is connected to this pin. This is the most negative point in the circuit. Ordering Information These integrated circuits are available in either the 300 mil plastic DIP format, or in the 200 mil SOIC surface mount type of package.

This integrated circuit is produced with a Microchip Technology Inc.’s PIC12C5XX as the core embedded microcontroller. For further device specifications, and possibly clarification of those given, please refer to the appropriate Microchip documentation. 2. This spec must be met in order to ensure that a correct power on reset occurs. It is quite easily achieved using most common types of supplies, but may be violated if one uses a slowly varying supply voltage, as may be obtained through direct connection to solar cells, or some charge pump circuits. 3. The value of the pullup resistance is both supply and temperature dependent. Example Application Using the ELM712 is straightforward, requiring little explanation. Typically it is connected in a circuit as shown at the right. Pressing the start pushbutton once initiates a sequence of LED flashes that last approximately 15 seconds. The value of the resistor shown depends on the voltage level that the circuit operates at. For the circuit shown, no resistor is normally used, and these points are jumpered out. For 5V operation, a value of about 150 to 300 ohms is generally inserted. *see text 8 7 6 5 3V + 1 2 712 3 4 start ELM712DSB Elm Electronics – Circuits for the Hobbyist < http://www.elmelectronics.com/ > 3 of 3
