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.
  • HIGH SOUND OUTPUT BEEPER CIRCUIT
    I you need a real loud beeper, this circuit delivers about 110db (12 inches away) from a 9v battery using a single inexpensive C-MOS IC. An off-the-shelf piezoelectric beeping device is driven at resonance to insure maximum efficiency. By changing the control IC to a 74AC14, the same circuit can operate from 3v and 1.5v batteries. Published in Electronic Design, Aug 5, 1993
  • MACHINE POWER LOSS BEEPER
    For some medical equipment it is important for an operator when power is lost to the machine. The beeper is powered from a 9v battery and requires the machine to have a power switch with a third set of contacts.

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....

Electronic Canary Doorbell -  This circuit is a modified "Hartley Oscillator" with a couple extra parts.  T1, the LT700 (Tony van Roon's or equivalent, is a small center tapped (Tony van Roon's ct) audio transformer with an impedance of 1000 ohms at 1000 hertz.....  [Tony van Roon's circuit]
Electronic Chime -  Scroll Down to find this circuit.  This circuit simulates a chime similar to the sound many cars make when the keys are left in the ignition. The bottom two gates form a squarewave audio oscillator that drives the base of the 2N4401, turning it on and off at an audio rate. The top two gates produce a short low-going pulse about once per second.... (electronic design added 6/07)
Electronic Siren -  An electronic siren made from discrete components.  (schematic added 03/04/05)
Electronic Whistle -  Schematic only, no circuit description
Emergency Vehicle Car Siren -  This siren circuit simulates police, fire or other emergency sirens that produce an up and down wail.  (Circuit design added 08/08)
Fix Adds Door Chime Repeater -  05/13/99 EDN-Design Ideas  Electromechanical door chimes can enhance your home, but they are vulnerable to costly repair problems. A defective pushbutton switch or a careless visitor can maintain the chime in an energized state for a prolonged period, thereby damaging the chime. The circuit in Figure 1 prevents damage to the chime and improves the chime's effectivenessElectromechanical door chimes can enhance your home, but they are vulnerable to costly repair problems. A defective pushbutton switch or a careless visitor can maintain the chime in an energized state for a prolonged period, thereby damaging the chime. The circuit in Figure 1 prevents damage to the chime and improves the chime's effectiveness.... [Design Idea by Dennis Eichenberg, Parma Heights, OH]
Flip Flop Flashers Buzzers Etc -  Several circuits here.  The familiar astable flip-flop circuit is a handy configuration for making flashers or generating squarewaves. Here is a typical alternating LED flasher with the LEDs in the emitters instead of collectors as is normally done. The bias resistors are directly connected....(added 04/05/06)

Generating -5 Volts From a 9 Volt Battery -  A 555 timer can be used to generate a squarewave to produce a negative voltage relative to the negative battery terminal. When the timer output at pin 3 goes positive, the series 22 uF capacitor charges through the diode (D1) to about 8 volts. When the output switches to ground, the 22 uF cap discharges through the second diode (D2) and charges the 100 uF capacitor to a negative voltage. The negative voltage can rise over several cycles to about -7 volts but.... [Circuit designed by Bill Bowden]
Harvest energy using a piezoelectric buzzer -  20-Mar-08 Issue of EDN  You can harvest small amounts of mechanical energy using a piezoelectric buzzer to charge a supercapacitor.... [Design Idea by Carlos Cossio, Santander, Spain]
Hee Haw Siren -  Build the circuit and listen. Change the resistors and capacitors to get all sorts of different results.

Multi-Switch Doorbell with Indicators -  (electronic Circuit / Schematic added 10/04)
Novel Buzzer -  (diagram added12/09)
One IC 2 Tones Siren Double Tone Police Sound Single Tone Old Ambulance Sound -  This circuit is intended for children fun, and is suitable to be installed on bicycles, battery powered cars and motorcycles, but also in models and other games. With SW1 positioned as shown in the circuit diagram it reproduces the typical dual tone sound of Police....(added 9/04)
