Touch Switch Circuit – CD4011 NE555

Touch switch circuit is a circuit used to control electronic devices simply by touching a sensor. Here below are two touch switch circuits that can be used to control your electronic equipment such as a touch light switch. Both are simple touch switch project that comes in the kit are available in the market. So, you do not have to bother anymore to create a touch switch PCB.

Touch Switch Circuit Diagram – CD4011

This circuit is very simple and easily constructed using an IC CD4011, where two plates of the sensor are connected as a flip-flop on pins 9 and 13 of the IC 4011. This touch switch circuit uses only eight components.

Pin 9 and 13 of the IC is «SET» and «RESET» contacts from the flip-flop. This IC CMOS type requires a very low current on the gate to control it. This high-sensitivity circuit made possible a touch operation. Both gates are held at logic state «1» continuously by using two resistors R1 and R3 that connect them to the positive supply rail. This resistor has a resistance that is greater than 10 Mohm. If now we touched a set of contact resistance of skin to close the circuit between the gate and the corresponding negative supply rail.

This kin resistance for small areas of ​​skin is usually much lower than 10 Mohm and effectively brought to the gate logic state «0» which makes changing the condition of the flip-flop. For any given state of the FLIP-flop is set in accordance touching contacts would make a circuit to reverse the country’s balance and force the switch to switch. It used as a relay switch is driven by a transistor which is driven from the out put of the flip-flop.source

With this touch switch circuit, you can turn on almost all electrical devices and switches automatically turn off within a short time later. Since you’ll notice you can determine how much subsequently – less than a second to more than one minute – just by changing the value of one resistor. source
