UTC LS1240A LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

ELECTRONIC TONE RINGER WITH

BUILT-IN BRIDGE RECTIFIER
DESCRIPTION
The UTC LS1240A is a monolithic integrated circuit,
designed to be as a telephone ringer. It can drive directly a
piezo-ceramic converter (buzzer). The output current capacity SOP-8
of UTC LS1240A is higher than UTC LS1240, For driving a
dynamic loudspeaker, UTC LS1240A needs only a
decoupling capacitor.

FEATURES
*Low current consumption, in order to allow the parallel
operation of 4 devices.
DIP-8
*Integrated rectifier bridge with zener diodes to protect
against over voltage.
*Little external circuitry.
*Tone and switching frequencies adjustable by external
components.
*Integrated voltage and current hysteresis.

No current limitation is provided on the output stage of UTC LS1240A, so a minimum load DC of 50 ohms is
advised.
The two tone frequencies generated are switched by an internal oscillator in a fast sequence and made audible
across an output amplifier in the loudspeaker, both tone frequencies and the switching frequency can be externally
adjusted. The signal and the circuit is designed so that noise on the line or variations of the ringing signal cannot
affect correct operation of the device.
