Acoustic Tone indicator

With this circuit, we can have an acoustic clue, frequency 2kHz, when we have a short vibration at its input. It is constituted from a monostable multivibrator (with Schmitt trigger inputs), with a duration roughly 100ms, oscillator TTL, that oscillates at 2kHz and drives a loudspeaker or piezoelectric element. The square vibration that is applied at its input triggers the multivibrator, which in turn drives the oscillator and the loudspeaker. With switch S1, the polarity of the input vibration can be selected, whether it is positive or negative. The frequency of the oscillator can change by altering capacitor C4 or resistor R2, which also changes the frequency of sound heard from the loudspeaker. Additionally, TR1 is used to adjust the intensity of the tone in the loudspeaker. The power supply is +5V.

The circuit described operates as a sound generator triggered by a short vibration at the input. It employs a monostable multivibrator configuration using a Schmitt trigger, which ensures reliable switching characteristics and noise immunity. The output of the monostable multivibrator is connected to a TTL oscillator (IC2, 74121), which generates a square wave signal at a frequency of 2kHz.

The circuit begins when a short input pulse is applied, causing the monostable to produce a pulse of approximately 100ms. This pulse activates the oscillator, which then produces a continuous square wave output at the specified frequency. The loudspeaker or piezoelectric element (LSP) is driven by this oscillating signal, producing an audible sound.

The circuit design includes a switch (S1) that allows for the selection of the input polarity, providing flexibility in how the circuit responds to different types of input signals. The frequency of the generated sound can be adjusted by changing the values of capacitor C4 or resistor R2, which influences the timing characteristics of the oscillator.

The trimmer resistor (TR1) is used to fine-tune the output level of the loudspeaker, allowing for control over the volume of the sound produced. The power supply of +5V is sufficient for the operation of the TTL logic components and the sound output device.

In summary, this circuit serves as a basic sound generation system, responsive to input vibrations, and is configurable for various sound frequencies and output levels. This makes it suitable for applications requiring acoustic signaling or alerts based on mechanical vibrations.With this circuit, we can have a acoustic clue, frequency 2KHZ, when we have a short vibration in his entry. It is constituted from monostable multivibritor (with schmitt trigger inputs), with duration roughly 100msec, oscillator TTL, that oscillating in their 2KHZ and one rung of expense a loudspeaker or piezoelectric element.

The square vibration that is applied in his entry, trigger his multivibritor that with line drive the oscillator and his the loudspeaker. With switch S1, we can select the polarity of vibration of entry, if this is positive or negative. The frequency of oscillator can change, if we change the capacitor C4 or resistance R2, so that changes also the frequency of sound that we hear from the loudspeaker and with the TR1 we alter the intensity of him tone in the loudspeaker.
