BEAT_FREQUENCY_AUDIO_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/10 2:27:00 Author:May

Q1 is a fixed oscillator operating at 455 kHz. U1 is a mixer, with its own internal oscillator running at 455 kHz. FIL1 and FIL2 are Murata CSB455E filters or equivalent. D1 is a vat-actor diode (an IN4002 used as a varactor works well here). R6 controls the bias on D1. When R6 is varied, the oscillator fre-quency varies a few kHz. Audio beat note is taken, through RF filter L2 and C10, from pin 5 of U1.   (View)

SOUND_EFFECTS_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/10 2:19:00 Author:May

A variable clock-pulse generator is made up of two sections of IC1 (a 4069 CMOS hex inverter), R1, 51, and capacitors C1 through C6. By adjusting R1 and switching one of the capacitors into the circuit, the clock's pulse rate can be varied over a wide range.The TL507C converts analog signals-in this case the output of IC3, an LM386 audio amplifier-into digital signals. The conversion is accomplished using the single-slope method; it involves comparing an internally generated ramp signal to the analog input signal and a 200-mV reference voltage.The square-wave output from the a/d converter is fed to IC3 through a network consisting of R2, R3, and C7. Resistor R2 controls the amplitude of the pulses. Resistor R3 and capacitor C7 form a variable tone-control filter and a differentiator circuit that converts a square wave into a spiked waveform. That waveform is amplified by IC3, and the resulting output is fed back into the analog input of IC2, as well as to an 8-Ω speaker. By adjusting R1 and selecting one of the six capacitors with S1-thus varying the clock frequency-and by varying R2 and R3, you can produce many sounds.   (View)

SINGLE_CHIP_MELODY_GENERATOR

Published:2009/7/10 2:13:00 Author:May

This melody generator, based on a 4093 CM0S Schmitt trigger, can be used in alarms, doorbells, and cars (audible reverse gear or lights-on indicator).Three of the four NAND gates in the 4093 are connected in series by RC networks. Oscillation is affected by feedback of the output signal of N4 to the input of N2. The logic-high levels produced by the cascaded gates in the oscillator circuit are used to bias one of associated diodes D1, D2, or D3). The relevant diode connects one of the frequency-determining capacitors (C1 through C3) to tone oscillator N1. The audio signal available when S1 is pressed is applied to complementary transistor pair (T1/T2) that drives the loudspeaker. The frequency of the emitted tone can be adjusted to individual taste with preset P1.   (View)
