An LED chaser, also called as sequenter is one of the most common LED controlling circuit. This post presents circuit of the 3 LED chaser. The LEDs blinks one by one and the process repeats which gives the running light effect. Circuit is based on BC547 transistors.
Components
No. | Component | Quantity |
---|---|---|
1. | Power supply (3V - 5V) | 1 |
2. | BC547 transistor | 3 |
3. | 20kΩ resistor | 3 |
4. | 100μF electrolytic capacitor | 3 |
5. | LED | 3 |
Circuit diagram
The speed of the LED chaser is affected by values of C1, C2, and C3 capacitors.

Designed circuit
Circuit is designed on a breadboard.
