Tone Generator-Ding-Dong Bell

Tone Generator Circuit Description Here we present a simple and low cost tone generator circuit, a ding dong bell suitable for calling bell purposes.It is made around IC 8021. It is an 8 pin IC but only four pins are shown here. 8021 has an in-built circuitry to produce ding dong sound each time its pin 3 is pulled low. The sound is stored in a 4 bit ROM. A complementary-pair, two-transistor amplifier is used to amplify the sound to a fair level of audibility. A piezoelectric tweeter or an 8-ohm, 500mW speaker  can be used at the output. Each…

Simple Proximity Detector

How to make a simple Proximity detector or sensor Description This is a simple proximity detector using IC CS209. The CS209A is a bipolar monolithic integrated circuit for use in metal detection/proximity sensing applications.The CS209A contains an oscillator set up by an external parallel resonant tank and a feedback resistor connected between pin 2 & 3 .The internal oscillator operates close to the resonant frequency of the tank circuit.As a metal object is brought close to the inductor, the amplitude of the voltage across the tank gradually begins to drop. When the envelope of the oscillation reaches a certain level,…
