Description

GL6840A are monolithic integrated circuits designed to replace the mechanical bell in telephone sets, in connection with an electro acoustical converter. The GL6840A can drive either directly a piezo ceramic converter(buzzer) or a small loudspeaker. In this case a transformer is needed. The two tone frequencies generated are switched by an internal oscillator in a fast sequence and made audible across output amplifiers in the transducer, both tone frequencies and switching frequency can be externally adjusted.

The supply voltage ofGL6840A is obtained from the AC rings signal and the circuit is designed so that noise on the line or variations on the ringing signal cannot affect the correct operation of the devices.

The output bridge configuration of GL6840A allows to use a high impedance transducer with acoustical results much better than in a single ended configuration. The two outputs can also be connected independently to different converters or actuators(acoustical, opto and logic)
