Multisim Circuit
Not what you're looking for?
The gas tank on your car has a fuel-level sending unit that works like a potentiometer. A float moves up and down while the gasoline level, changing the variable resistor setting and producing a voltage proportional to the gas level. A full tank produces 12V, and an empty tank produces 0V. Design a Multisim circuit using an LM339 that turns on "Fuel Level" indicator lamp when the voltage level from the sending unit gets below 0.5V.

Please see attached files for the circuit of the fuel-level detector. The circuit explanation is also included so that you can understand the circuit schematic better.
Solution:
Below is the circuit of the simple voltage comparator circuit:
Explanation: The main component used is the LM339 IC, which functions as a comparator. V_SOURCE represents the source signal voltage from the fuel level unit. As stated, V_SOURCE can be from 0V (empty) to 12V (full tank). It is connected to the inverting terminal of the comparator. The non-inverting terminal of the comparator is connected to a simple voltage ...
