Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • Front Desk Service Beeper:  This device functions like a lobby desk service request bell.  A short beep is sounded whenever the large pushbutton on top of the device is pressed.  Once pressed, the device will not make another beep until at least 2 minutes of time has elapsed.  This prevents impatient customers from ringing the bell over and over.

Electronic Buzzer:  This very simple circuit just uses a couple of resistors, a capacitor and the easily available 555 timer IC. The 555 is setup as an astable multivibrator operating at a frequency of about 1kHz that produces a shrill noise when switched on. The frequency can be changed by varying the 10K resistor.   (added 6/06)

Electronic Canary (Doorbell):  This circuit is a modified "Hartley Oscillator" with a couple extra parts.  T1, the LT700 (or equivalent, is a small center tapped (ct) audio transformer with an impedance of 1000 ohms at 1000 hertz.  The secondary of this transformer has an impedance of 8 ohms.  Usually noted as 1K:8 ct.  I tried a couple other models like the red and green types (taken out of a $5 made-in-china am pocket radio) and they both work good.  You may have to adjust the caps to get the sound...

Piezo Device Generates Buzz Beep or Chime :  04/23/98 EDN-Design Ideas  /  (added 05/03) 04/23/98 EDN-Design Ideas / (added 11/05) [Note:  File contains multiple circuits scroll to find this circuit.]  Piezoelectric buzzers, such as the Murata (Smyrna, GA) PKB5-3A in Figure 1, make excellent alarms. They're compact, lightweight, efficient, and reliable. However, a piezo alarm is a dc device; it requires additional circuitry to operate from an ac source. The circuits in Figure 1 provide a simple and inexpensive way to obtain the dc drive. The W04G full-wave bridge rectifier produces a full-wave dc waveform from the 120V ac line. The 100 ohm resistor protects the circuit from surges when you first apply power. The 5.5V 1N4733 Zener diode protects the buzzer against high-voltage excursions. The 1-µF capacitor provides filtering for the buzzer....
