Headphone Amplifier with IR Communication

This low cost project can be used to reproduce an audio from TV without creating any disturbance from other people. No wire will be used by the circuit between the TV and the headphone because instead of using wires, it utilizes the invisible infrared light for the transmission of audio signals from the TV going to the headphone. The range that can be covered can reach up to 6 meters without using any lens but if required, the range can be made to extend with the use of lenses and reflectors with transmitters and receivers that comprise the IR sensors.

Headphone Amplifier with IR Communication Circuit diagram

Two series connected IR LEDS are being driven by the two-stage transmitter amplifier that uses the IR transmitter. The audio output from TV to the IR transmitter is coupled by using an audio output transformer that is reversely connected. The audio signals are amplified by the transistors BC547 & BD140. These audio signals are received from TV through the low output impedance windings for TV connection of the audio transformer while high impedance for IR transmitter connection.

A 9V source can power the IR transmitter with the LED functioning as power-on indicator.

Toggle switch with Infra Red IR

Toggle switch in this article is a series of toggle switches that are controlled by infrared light. The series toggle switch is made from a combination of data flip-flop CD4013 2 units.
Receiver circuit of the infrared light signals arranged with infrared receiver as found on television remote receiver. Infrared signal from remote is used as clock signals and data to the data flip-flop first. then the second flip-flop data set as a toggle flip-flop toggle the output signal is used to drive the relay. for more details can be seen in thethe following image .

Series Toggle Switch With Infra Red (IR) that is required to supply voltage range of 12VDC and the output of Toggle Switch With Infra Red (IR) is dapt used to turn on the lights or other electronic devices with DC or AC voltage source. Series Toggle Switch With Infra Red (IR) was isolated from the load that is placed for use as the final relay.
