Hi friends..... plz help me.... i am working on a small project using 89S52,Keypad,lcd,MOSFET IRF9540N, and 7805 IC. 7.4 v Lipo battery. my concept is to turn on and off LCD with the keypress from keypad. Am using 7805 to step down voltage to 5v and then 5v is being supplied to 89s52 and MOSFET source pin. Mosfet drain pin is attached to LCD and gate pin to port 3^5. lcdis straight away grounded. Lcd is attached to port 1. my code and circuit works well.... but the problem is the battery gets drained in 10-12 hours even if lcd is in off state. At initial stage have kept my lcd off... and when button 1 is presses from keypad the lcd goes on and again if keypad is pressed its goes off.. so for that i have put port3^5 pin which is connected to MOSFET gate...low at initial stage to keep the lcd off... and port3^5 high when button 1 is pressed.... i have also low all the signal pins port1 which is connected to lcd.... but even then my battery gets drained.... dont know what is it that is conauming my power....
and i cant change anything now because of my time target show the value of reading datasheets before designing
Prio 1: Figure out requirements Prio 2: Select components that can fulfill the requirements Prio 3: Design with the selected components Prio 4: Debug and evaluate the design
A large number of projects are started with "I use this component because we use it in an existing product" or "because I know it" or "because I have an evaluation board for it". A large number of projects fails - or have to limit the final functionality - because the "smart short-cut" wasn't so smart. Sometimes the selected component actually fulfills the requirements, but still fails because it's old and suddenly have the end-of-life date announced.
A traditional view on design is that the cost increases with a factor 10 for every stage later a problem is found. That's why it's really bad economy to skip the early requirements analysis and the careful selection of what components to use.
