Undervoltage/Overvoltage Indicator
This circuit will make the appropriate LED glow if the monitored voltage goes below or above the value determined by zener diodes D1 and D2.
Diode Feedback Comparator
This circuit can drive an LED display with constant current independently of wide power supply voltage changes. It can operate with a power supply range of at least 4V to 30V. With 10M resistances for R2 and R3 and the inverting input of the comparator grounded, the circuit becomes an LED driver with very high input impedance. The circuit can also be used in many other applications where a controllable constant current source is needed.
Comparator Detects Power Supply Overvoltages, Catches Glitches
(A) To maintain an alarm condition when an overvoltage transient disappears, add an SCR to the comparator circuits. For SCR operation, voltages to the comparator inputs are inverted. (B) The triple-voltage monitoring circuit detects transient power-supply overvoltages. If excessive voltage momentarily appears at the 5, 12 and -12V inputs, the LED for that circuit lights and the beeper sounds for as long as the overvoltage lasts.
