Ding Dong Project

This circuit uses two 555 timer ICs to generate a "ding dong" sound. The first timer operates in astable mode at 1Hz to produce pulses. Its output is connected to the control pin of the second timer, modulating its frequency. Together they produce the "ding" and "dong" tones which are output to a speaker. The circuit allows tuning the tones through variable resistors. It can function as a doorbell circuit and with modifications, produce other sounds, though it is limited by the 9V power supply.

Ding Dong Bell Sound Generator Circuit Principle:
This circuit mainly consists of two 555 timer ICs. First timer IC is operated in astable
mode and the frequency of the second is modulated by the first timer. For that, output
pin of first IC is connected to the 5th pin of second IC. The first timer IC is operated at a
frequency of 1Hz.

Astable mode is a free running mode of the 555 timer IC. The 555 timer IC can be
operated at required frequency by tuning the RC circuit. In astable mode, no external
triggering is required. This has no stable state.

Circuit Components:

 Two 555 timer ICs – U1 and U2.


 Two Variable resistors – RV1 and RV2
 4 Capacitors – C1, C2, C3 and C4.
 2 Resistors – R1and R2

Ding Dong Bell Sound Generator Circuit Design:


The circuit consists of two 555 timer ICs arranged as shown in the circuit diagram. The
first timer IC is connected in astable mode to produce pulse of frequency 1Hz. The
4th and 8th pins are shorted and connected to the resistor of 2.2K whose other end is
connected to the pin of the timer IC. Sixth and seventh pins are connected to the
variable resistor. Sixth and second pins are shorted and connected to the ground of 9v
through a capacitor of 47uf. Fifth pin is connected to the ground through a capacitor of
0.01uf. First pin of the IC is connected to the ground.
The output pin of the first IC is connected to the control pin i.e. Fifth pin of the second
IC. The second IC is also operated in astable mode again. 4 th and 8th pins are shorted
and connected to resistor of 2.2 k ohms whose other end is connected to the seventh
pin of the IC. A variable resistor 100K is connected between sixth and seventh pins of
the IC. Sixth pin and second pin are shorted and connected to the ground through a
capacitor of 0.1uf. First pin is directly connected to the   ground of 9v.Output pin of the
IC is connected to the speaker through a capacitor of 1uf.

Ding Dong Sound Generator Circuit working:


 Initially power the circuit.
 The  “Ding Dong ” sound can be heard from the speaker.
 When the power is on the circuit is operated in the astable mode.
 As the voltage is applied to the timer, the capacitor starts charging through the
resistors R1 and R2.
 When it reaches 2/3 of VCC, it is detected by the sixth pin and seventh pin is
connected to the ground.
 Thus capacitor starts discharging, through the RV1 resistor.
 When voltage of 1/3 VCC is detected it again starts charging, thus this process
continuously produces the pulse of frequency 1Hz.
 This is applied to the second  timer through its control pin.
 Thus the frequency of the second timer is modulated and is applied to the speaker
through a capacitor.
 The external RC circuit decides the time delay with which the waveform should be
produced.
 Hence one can hear the “ding dong” sound produced.

Ding Dong Bell Sound Generator Circuit Applications:


 The circuit can be used as a door bell by connecting the supply to a switch.
 With some modifications it can be used to produce different sounds.

Ding Dong Bell Circuit Limitations:


 As the applied voltage is 9V, it cannot produce more sound.
