The circuit given below is a modified version of the Melody Generator Circuit, whose
link is given above. In the previous circuit you had to keep the switch manually
pressed for making the IC play the full music.
Here if once the push button is pressed Capacitor C1 is charged and the transistor
Q2 will keep the IC playing the music till it ends. The time for the IC to play depends
on discharging time of C1 which can be set by R1. Set R1 to select your time,
whether full tone or a part in one press. Transistor Q2 drives the speaker. Pin 1 of
UM66 is connected to the base of Transistor Q1 (BC548), so as to amplify the signal
to drive the 8 Ohms speaker (K1).
UM66 IC
UM66 IC
The IC UM66 is a melody generator CMOS IC and can be found in sound generating
objects like doorbells, musical toys for kids, telephones, intruder alarms and so on.
The IC has 3 pins with terminals GND (1), Vcc (2) & Melody Output (3). The tones
are generated by the corresponding electrical signals at Pin 3. The IC works on a
supply voltage range of (1.5-4.5) Volts. This IC can be used in small circuits as it
consumes very less power. The IC will reset after a tone is played, and will start
playing from the beginning. All you have to do is reset the IC using Switch S1. The
IC does not require any new components to generate the audio signals. IC has a
beat & tone generator that is already built inside. The time base for it is an in-built
oscillator.
The tone generator produces a particular frequency, that is the oscillator frequency
factor. The beat generator has 15 different beats, out of which four of them can be
selected. The tone is generated using a 62 notes ROM. Out of this 4 bits control the
scale code and 2 bits are used for the rhythm code.
Different tones are available with different versions of the IC. Some common tones
are “Jingle all the way”, “Santa Claus is coming to town”, and “Christmas song”.
