Transformerless-annunciator
This circuit does not require an output transformer or an output coupling capacitor; the annunciator can easily be turned on or off by a control input voltage driving a 10 MΩ input resistor, R3. For a smaller acoustic output, replace output transistor Q1 with a 100 Ω resistor while also raising the voice coil impedance to 100 Ω to prevent loading of the IC.
The described circuit operates without the need for an output transformer or coupling capacitor, which simplifies the design and potentially reduces costs and size. The control mechanism for the annunciator involves a control input voltage that activates a 10 MΩ input resistor, R3. This high resistance allows for minimal current draw from the control signal while still effectively switching the annunciator on or off.
In applications where a lower acoustic output is desired, the circuit can be adjusted by replacing the output transistor Q1 with a 100 Ω resistor. This modification not only reduces the output level but also necessitates an increase in the voice coil impedance to 100 Ω. This adjustment is crucial as it prevents loading of the integrated circuit (IC) that drives the annunciator. Loading the IC could lead to performance issues, such as distortion or reduced efficiency, thus maintaining a stable operation of the overall circuit.
The design may include additional components such as bypass capacitors to stabilize the power supply and filter out noise, ensuring that the control voltage remains clean and effective. Furthermore, the circuit layout should be carefully considered to minimize parasitic inductances and capacitances, which could affect the performance of the annunciator. Overall, this circuit provides a straightforward and efficient solution for driving an annunciator with customizable output levels while maintaining compatibility with integrated circuits.This circuit does not require an output transformer or an output coupling capacitor; the annunciator can easily be turned on or off by a control input voltage driving a 10Mohm input resistor, R3. For a smaller acoustic output, replace output transistor Ql, with a 100ohm resistor, while also raising the voice coil impedance to 100ohm, to prevent loading of the IC. 🔗 External reference
