6 Channel Auto Reverse Sequential Disco Running Lights [pic] From 230 V AC a DC supply of + 5 V is obtained. The power supply is given to the other blocks. The pulse generator at a particular frequency generates the clock pulses. The clock pulses are counted by a counter and gives output after every 10 pulses. The counter drives the transistors‚ which form the triac firing circuit. The transistors fire the triacs and they provide sufficient current to the load. Decorative
