Introduction
Using this circuit, audio musical notes can be generated and can be heard up to
a distance of 10 meters. The receiver can be placed at a maximum distance of 1 meter
from the transmitter without any considerable noise interference. The circuits of
transmitter and receiver are quite simple and can be placed and carried any where
easily. The small apparatus provided with the infrared communication function is in
many cases operated by a battery incorporated inside so that it is convenient when a
user carries it during movement, and it is preferable that power consumption be
minimized also to lengthen the continuous operation possible time of IR emission is
optimized. Here there is no use of any modulation techniques when working with IR
rays. Hence there is no necessity of carrier generation. This makes the transmitter and
receiver designs much simpler. However the communication distance can be
improved by using Far IR LEDs. The range of communication can be increased to
about 250 meters by using far IR LEDs. In the apparatus provided with a conventional
infrared communication function, however, the infrared light with a constant intensity
is constantly radiated regardless of the communication distance. This project
emphasizes the way by which music is generated and driven by IR rays and gives an
explanation to the one of the methods of receiving IR rays without considerable noise
interference.

Fig 1.1 Transmitter Circuit
2. Circuit description
The circuit can be divided into two parts: IR music transmitter and receiver.
The IR music transmitter works off a 9V battery, while the IR music receiver works
off regulated 9V to 12V. Fig. 1.1 shows the circuit of the IR music transmitter. It uses
popular melody generator IC UM66 (IC1) that can continuously generate musical
tones. The output of IC1 is fed to the IR driver stage (built across the transistors T1
and T2) to get the maximum range. Here the red LED (LED1) flickers according to
the musical tones generated by UM66 IC, indicating modulation. IR LED2 and LED3
are infrared transmitting LEDs. For maximum sound transmission these should be
oriented towards IR phototransistor L14F1 (T3). The IR music receiver uses popular
op-amp IC μA741 and audio-frequency amplifier IC LM386 along with
phototransistor L14F1 and some discrete components. The melody generated by IC
UM66 is transmitted through IR LEDs, received by phototransistor T3 and fed to pin
2 of IC μA741 (IC2). Its gain can be varied using potential meter VR1. The output of
IC μA741 is fed to IC LM386 (IC3) via capacitor C5 and potential meter VR2.The
melody produced is heard through the receiver’s loudspeaker.
Potential meter VR2 is used to control the volume of loudspeaker LS1 (8-ohm, 1W).
Switching off the power supply stops melody generation.
3. Working
• The electrical signal from your music player is converted into an invisible
infrared light signal by the infrared light emitting diode (IR LED) in the transmitter
circuit.
• To transmit this over a longer distance, a brighter IR LED is needed or an
invisible light is to be focused using lens. The invisible infrared light signal must hit
the photo transistor in the receiver.
• The photo transistor in the receiver converts this invisible infrared light signal
into an electrical signal.
• Then, the amplifier in the receiver circuit takes this electrical signal and makes
it larger using energy from the battery.
• Finally, this larger electrical signal drives the speaker which turns electrical
energy into sound energy.
4.1.1 Uses
9v batteries are commonly used in smoke detectors, guitar effect units, pocket
radios, and radio-controlled vehicle controllers. They are also utilized as backup
power to keep the time in digital clocks and alarm clocks.
4.1.2 Connectors
PP3 actually refers to the type of connection or snap that is on top of the
battery . The PP3 connector (snap) consists of two connectors: one smaller circular
(male) and one larger, typically either hexagonal or octagonal (female). The
connectors on the battery are the same as on the connector itself -- the smaller one
connects to the larger one and vice versa. 6 AAAA batteries may be found inside
when the battery is open. By cutting the 6 metal strips inside found on the bottom and
top, you can use them in a device that uses AAAA batteries. However, not all
manufacturers use AAAA batteries (namely: Rayovac), but stack six small
rectangular batteries for the same effect.
Check each multimeter and 9 V battery by turning the knob of the multimeter
to the 20 V DC setting and touching the probes to the battery terminals. The
multimeter should read more than 8.7 V. If the multimeter reads less than 8.7 V, try a
second meter. If that still reads less than 8.7 V, try a new battery.
4.2 IC 741
4.2.1 Description
A very typical commercial IC op amp circuit is the 741. This IC has been
available for many years, and a number of variations have been developed to help
minimize the errors inherent in its construction and operation. Nevertheless, the
analysis we will perform here using the 741 will apply to any other IC op amp, if this
has been taken into account the actual parameters of the device you are actually using.
Therefore, 741 is used as our example IC op amp.
Above is a circuit using the 741 op amp IC, with the input and feedback resistors that
are required for this circuit to operate properly in an analog computer. Note that there
are actually two inputs to the amplifier, designated "+" and "-" in the figure. This is
because the 741, like all IC op amps of this type, is in fact a differential amplifier.
Thus, the output voltage is determined by the difference between the two input
voltages. The "+," or non-inverting input, is grounded through a resistor as shown.
Thus, its input voltage is always zero. The "-," or inverting input, is the one that is
actively used. Thus, we establish that the inverting input, which is also the junction of
the input and feedback resistors, must operate as a virtual ground in order to keep the
output voltage within bounds.
Now considering the actual voltage gain which can't possibly be infinite, and if it
isn't infinite, there must be some non-zero input voltage to produce a non-zero output
voltage. In fact, the typical open-loop voltage gain for the 741 is 200,000. This does
not mean that every such device has a gain of 200,000, however. It is guaranteed that
the commercial version (the 741C) will have a minimum gain of 20,000. The military
version is more stringently selected, and will have a minimum voltage gain of 50,000.
For the 741C, then, with a maximum output voltage of ±10 volts, the maximum
input voltage required at the inverting input can never be more than ±10/20,000 =
±0.0005 volt, or 0.5 millivolts. Typical measurement accuracy uses three significant
digits, so we would measure voltages from 0.00 volts to ±10.00 volts. The maximum
input voltage is more than an order of magnitude smaller than this, and hence is
insignificant in a typical analog computer.
But what about input bias current? Surely the IC requires at least some small
amount of input current? Well, yes, it does. The 741C requires a typical input bias
current of 80 nA (that's nanoAmperes, where 1 nA = 10-9 A). The maximum input
bias current for the 741C is 500 nA, or 0.5 µA.
This information is used to minimize the errors it could cause into insignificance
Well, let's consider the resistance that would be required for this current to cause a
significant voltage drop. If we keep the voltage error small enough, we can ignore it
as immeasurable. This means we must keep the values of Rin and Rf as small as
possible, consistent with proper operation of the circuit. At the same time, we cannot
make them too small, or the op amp itself will be overloaded. For proper operation,
the total load resistance at the 741 output should not be smaller than 2000 ohms, or
2k. This amounts to a maximum output current of 5 mA at 10 volts output.
This means that the output resistance of the op amp is not the desired zero ohms.
However, too much current can’t be drawn from the output, the use of heavy negative
feedback has an added benefit it makes the op amp behave as if it had zero output
resistance. That is, any internal resistance will simply mean that the op amp must
produce an internal voltage enough higher than the calculated value so that the final
output voltage will be the calculated value.
If we make our input and feedback resistors about 10k each then the current
demand on the output is only 1 mA at 10 volts, leaving plenty of capacity for
additional inputs. And the voltage caused by the input bias current won't exceed
10,000 × 0.5 × 10-6 = 0.005 volt. This is half of the least significant digit of our
measurement capability, which is not as good as expected, but will do. Also, this is
the absolute worst-case situation; most practical applications won't see an error this
big.
In addition, the input bias current applies equally to both inputs. This is the reason
for the resistor connecting the "+" input to ground. If this resistor is close in value to
the parallel combination of Rin and Rf, the same voltage error will be generated at the
two inputs, and will therefore be cancelled out, or very nearly. Thus, this problem can
be relegated to true insignificance by means of correct circuit design and careful
choice of component values.
The 741 does also have two error characteristics, called input offset voltage and
input offset current, which define the inherent errors which may exist between the two
inputs to the IC. However, the 741 also has the means for balancing these variations
out, so the actual errors are minimized or eliminated, thus once again removing them
from significance.
A problem with any op amp is a limited frequency response. The higher the gain of
the complete circuit, the lower the working frequency response. This is one reason an
overall gain of 20 is a practical limit. (Another reason is that the input and feedback
resistors become too different from each other.) Also, the standard 741 has a slew rate
of 0.5 v/µs. This means that the output voltage cannot change any faster than this. The
newer generation of op amps, such as the 741S, has a slew rate more like 5 v/µs, and
hence can operate over the entire audio range of frequencies without serious
problems.
4.3 Zener diode
4.3.1 Introduction
A Zener diode is a type of diode that permits current in the forward direction like a
normal diode, but also in the reverse direction if the voltage is larger than the
breakdown voltage known as "Zener knee voltage" or "Zener voltage". The device
was named after Clarence Zener, who discovered this electrical property.
A Zener diode exhibits almost the same properties, except the device is specially
designed so as to have a greatly reduced breakdown voltage, the so-called Zener
voltage. A Zener diode contains a heavily doped p-n junction allowing electrons to
tunnel from the valence band of the p-type material to the conduction band of the n-
type material. In the atomic scale, this tunneling corresponds to the transport of
valence band electrons into the empty conduction band states; as a result of the
reduced barrier between these bands and high electric fields that are induced due to
the relatively high levels of dopings on both sides. A reverse-biased Zener diode will
exhibit a controlled breakdown and allow the current to keep the voltage across the
Zener diode at the Zener voltage. For example, a diode with a Zener breakdown
voltage of 3.2 V will exhibit a voltage drop of 3.2 V if reverse bias voltage applied
across it is more than its Zener voltage. However, the current is not unlimited, so the
Zener diode is typically used to generate a reference voltage for an amplifier stage, or
as a voltage stabilizer for low-current applications.
The breakdown voltage can be controlled quite accurately in the doping process.
While tolerances within 0.05% are available, the most widely used tolerances are 5%
and 10%.
Another mechanism that produces a similar effect is the avalanche effect as in the
avalanche diode. The two types of diode are in fact constructed the same way and
both effects are present in diodes of this type. In silicon diodes up to about 5.6 volts,
the Zener effect is the predominant effect and shows a marked negative temperature
coefficient. Above 5.6 volts, the avalanche effect becomes predominant and exhibits a
positive temperature coefficient.
In a 5.6 V diode, the two effects occur together and their temperature coefficients
neatly cancel each other out, thus the 5.6 V diode is the component of choice in
temperature-critical applications.
Modern manufacturing techniques have produced devices with voltages lower than
5.6 V with negligible temperature coefficients, but as higher voltage devices are
encountered, the temperature coefficient rises dramatically. A 75 V diode has 10
times the coefficient of a 12 V diode. All such diodes, regardless of breakdown
voltage, are usually marketed under the umbrella term of "Zener diode".
4.3.3 Uses
Zener diodes are widely used to regulate the voltage across a circuit. When
connected in parallel with a variable voltage source so that it is reverse biased, a
Zener diode conducts when the voltage reaches the diode's reverse breakdown
voltage. From that point it keeps the voltage at that value.
Blue, green, and red LEDs; these can be combined to produce most perceptible colors,
including white. Infrared and ultraviolet (UVA) LEDs are also available.
.
4.4.1 Introduction
4.4.2 Uses
The infrared LED emitter is a high power (150 mW) infrared LED that is
commonly used in a wide variety of remote control and communications projects. It's
wide 60 degree beam width and high output power make it a great infrared
transmitter. Combined with the PNA4602M IR receiver and you have the makings for
a solid IR communications or control link (See the related products section for the
PNA4602).
4.5.2 Specifications
An infrared emitter is an LED made from gallium arsenide, which emits near-
infrared energy at about 880nm. The infrared phototransistor acts as a transistor with
the base voltage determined by the amount of light hitting the transistor. Hence it acts
as a variable current source. Greater amount of IR light cause greater currents to flow
through the collector-emitter leads.
4.6.2 Working
4.7.1 Introduction
The loudspeakers are almost always the limiting element on the fidelity of a
reproduced sound in either home or theater. The other stages in sound reproduction
are mostly electronic, and the electronic components are highly developed. The
loudspeaker involves electromechanical processes where the amplified audio signal
must move a cone or other mechanical device to produce sound like the original
sound wave. This process involves many difficulties, and usually is the most
imperfect of the steps in sound reproduction. Choose your speakers carefully. Some
basic ideas about speaker enclosures might help with perspective.
4.7.2 Construction
An enormous amount of engineering work has gone into the design of today's
dynamic loudspeaker. A light voice coil is mounted so that it can move freely inside
the magnetic field of a strong permanent magnet. The speaker cone is attached to the
voice coil and attached with a flexible mounting to the outer ring of the speaker
support. Because there is a definite "home" or equilibrium position for the speaker
cone and there is elasticity of the mounting structure, there is inevitably a free cone
resonant frequency like that of a mass on a spring. The frequency can be determined
by adjusting the mass and stiffness of the cone and voice coil, and it can be damped
and broadened by the nature of the construction, but that natural mechanical
frequency of vibration is always there and enhances the frequencies in the frequency
range near resonance. Part of the role of a good enclosure is to minimize the impact of
this resonant frequency.
4.8 LM386
The LM386 is a power amplifier designed for use in low voltage consumer
applications. The gain is internally set to 20 to keep external part count low, but the
addition of an external resistor and capacitor between pins 1 and 8 will increase the
gain to any value from 20 to 200. The inputs are ground referenced while the output
automatically biases to one-half the supply voltage. The quiescent power drain is only
24 mill watts when operating from a 6 volt supply, making the LM386 ideal for
battery operation.
4.8.2 Features
• Battery operation
4.8.3 Applications
• Intercoms
• TV sound systems
• Line drivers
• Ultrasonic drivers
• Power converters
4.8.4 IC LM 386
The LM386 IC is unique in that the gain can be modified by changing Resistor
R2 and Capacitor C2. This configuration will give us a gain of 20. By removing R2
and connecting C2 across pins 1 and 8, we can increase the gain to 200. It is important
to understand that increasing the gain does not increase the output power. The
increased gain is only used when a very low input signal is to be amplified. Our next
IC is the LM380 and it also comes in two flavors; LM380-8 and LM380 with output
powers of 700 mille-watts and 2 watts respectively. Figure depicts the LM380-8 and
Figure 3 depicts the LM380. The LM380-8 comes in an 8 pin package and its basic
circuit is virtually identical to the LM380 except for the different pin out. The LM380
comes in a 14 pin package and pins 3,4,5,10,11 and 13 are connected to ground to act
as a heat sink. Experience has shown the LM380 should be soldered directly to the
circuit board (no IC socket) if it is going to be operated at its full rated 2 watt output.
This IC can become quite warm and it’s important to get rid of excess heat through
the pins. The primary advantages of the LM380 series IC’s are higher output power,
very low distortion and low external parts count.
4.9.1 Introduction
This is the simplest ever musical calling bell that can be easily built. It uses the
musical 3 pin IC UM66 and a popularly known Transistor BC548b. The circuit can be
made even without soldering and the ideal for the first electronic project for newbie’s.
Here the musical IC UM66 generates the music when it receives supply and drives a
small speaker through a class c amplifier using silicon transistor BC548b.

The circuit should not be run in Rechargeable battery also if the Speaker resistance is
less than 8 Ohm and may burn the Transistor.
4.10 Rheostat
4.10.1 Introduction
The most common way to vary the resistance in a circuit is to use a variable
resistor or a rheostat. A rheostat is a two-terminal variable resistor. Often these are
designed to handle much higher voltage and current. Typically these are constructed
as a resistive wire wrapped to form a toroid coil with the wiper moving over the upper
surface of the toroid, sliding from one turn of the wire to the next. Sometimes a
rheostat is made from resistance wire wound on a heat-resisting cylinder with the
slider made from a number of metal fingers that grip lightly onto a small portion of
the turns of resistance wire. The 'fingers' can be moved along the coil of resistance
wire by a sliding knob thus changing the 'tapping' point. They are usually used as
variable resistors rather than variable potential dividers. Any three-terminal
potentiometer can be used as a two-terminal variable resistor, by not connecting to the
third terminal. It is common practice to connect the wiper terminal to the unused end
of the resistance track to reduce the amount of resistance variation caused by dirt on
the track.
Most rheostats are the wire-wound type that has a long length of conductive
wire coiled into a tight spiral. The linear type has a straight coil while the rotary type
has the coil curved into a torus to save space. The coil and contacts are sealed inside
the case to protect them from dirt which can cause an open circuit, and from moisture
which can cause a short circuit. Rheostats can be made from other materials such as
carbon disks, metal ribbons, and even certain fluids. As long as a material has a
significant resistance change over a short length, it can probably be used to make a
rheostat.
4.10.3 Working
The basic principle used by rheostats is Ohm's law, which state that current is
inversely proportional to resistance for a given voltage. This means the current
decreases as the resistance increases, or it increases as the resistance decreases.
Current enters the rheostat through one of its terminals, flows through the wire coil
and contact, and exits through the other terminal. Rheostats do not have polarity and
operate the same when the terminals are reversed. Three-terminal potentiometers can
be used as rheostats by connecting the unused third terminal to the contact terminal.
4.10.4 Applications
Some light dimmers use rheostats to limit the current passing through the light
bulbs in order to change their brightness. The greater the resistance of the rheostat, the
lower the brightness of the light bulbs. Some lights cannot use dimmers, such as
fluorescents and gas-discharge lamps. These lights have large resistance loads, called
ballasts that maintain a constant current through them. Rheostats have no effect on
their brightness and can even damage them.
Motor controller also uses rheostats to control the speed of a motor by limiting
the flow of current through them. They are used in many small appliances such as
blenders, mixers, fans, and power tools. Rheostats are also used as test instruments to
provide an accurate resistance value. While rheostats can be used to control electric
ovens and cook tops, thermostats are preferred because they have additional parts
which automatically adjust the current flow to maintain a constant temperature.
4.11 Transistor
4.11.1 Introduction
The transistor is a component with 3 electric wires coming out of it. They are named
B (base), C (collector), and E (emitter).
4.11.2 Working
• If one connects a tension source between the wires C and E, the transistor will
not let any current trough.
• But between B and E there is a shortcut. If one wants to make a given current
go through B and E, one must use a tension source and a resistor (fig. 2).
• If one sends a current of IB amperes between B and E, then the resistor will
allow a current of IC = ß . IB amperes pass between C et E (fig. 3). In this case,
ß is about 100.
The electronic diagrams corresponding to figures 1, 2 and 3 are figures 4, 5 and 6:
Note: For those who would like to try out these diagrams, one sole battery of 9 Volts
can replace the two batteries
4.12 Capacitors
4.12.1 Function
Capacitors store electric charge. They are used with resistors in timing circuits
because it takes time for a capacitor to fill with charge. They are used to smooth
varying DC supplies by acting as a reservoir of charge. They are also used in filter
circuits because capacitors easily pass AC (changing) signals but they block DC
(constant) signals.
4.12.2 Capacitance
This is a measure of a capacitor's ability to store charge. A large capacitance
means that more charge can be stored. Capacitance is measured in farads, symbol F.
However 1F is very large, so prefixes are used to show the smaller values.
Capacitor values can be very difficult to find because there are many types of
capacitor with different labeling systems!
There are many types of capacitor but they can be split into two groups, polarized
and unpolarized. Each group has its own circuit symbol.
Examples:
Fig 4.23 Schematic of Polarised and unpolarised Capacitors
+ -
Electrolytic capacitors are polarised and they must be connected the correct way
round, at least one of their leads will be marked + or -. They are not damaged by heat
when soldering.
There are two designs of electrolytic capacitors; axial where the leads are attached
to each end (220µF in picture) and radial where both leads are at the same end (10µF
in picture). Radial capacitors tend to be a little smaller and they stand upright on the
circuit board.
It is easy to find the value of electrolytic capacitors because they are clearly
printed with their capacitance and voltage rating. The voltage rating can be quite low
(6V for example) and it should always be checked when selecting an electrolytic
capacitor. If the project parts list does not specify a voltage, choose a capacitor with a
rating which is greater than the project's power supply voltage. 25V is a sensible
minimum most battery circuits.
Variable capacitors are mostly used in radio tuning circuits and they are sometimes
called 'tuning capacitors'. They have very small capacitance values, typically between
100pF and 500pF (100pF = 0.0001µF). The type illustrated usually has trimmers built
in (for making small adjustments - see below) as well as the main variable capacitor.
Many variable capacitors have very short spindles which are not suitable for the
standard knobs used for variable resistors and rotary switches. It would be wise to
check that a suitable knob is available before ordering a variable capacitor.
Variable capacitors are not normally used in timing circuits because their
capacitance is too small to be practical and the range of values available is very
limited. Instead timing circuits use a fixed capacitor and a variable resistor if it is
necessary to vary the time period.
Fig 4.25 Variable Capacitor Symbol
V = IR
Resistors are elements of electrical networks and electronic circuits and are
ubiquitous in most electronic equipment. Practical resistors can be made of various
compounds and films, as well as resistance wire (wire made of a high-resistivity alloy,
such as nickel/chrome).
The primary characteristics of a resistor are the resistance, the tolerance, maximum
working voltage and the power rating. Other characteristics include temperature
coefficient, noise, and inductance. Less well-known is critical resistance, the value
below which power dissipation limits the maximum permitted current flow, and above
which the limit is applied voltage. Critical resistance depends upon the materials
constituting the resistor as well as its physical dimensions; it's determined by design.
Resistors can be integrated into hybrid and printed circuits, as well as integrated
circuits. Size, and position of leads (or terminals) are relevant to equipment designers;
resistors must be physically large enough not to overheat when dissipating their
power.
5. Points of importance
• The speaker and resistance have no terminal polarity and connection can be
interchanged.
6. Modifications
The IC positive point should be biased with potential divider such that the
voltage at the positive in should not exceed 2.5 volt. For example it should be 68k and
10k and the terminal voltage will be 1.82 volt. Sometimes the IC is supplied only
through a very high value series resistance like 220k from 12 volt, but the output bias
current of the IC will not be sufficient then to drive and works as a signal and can
only be driven through preamplifier or using Darlington pair/Zhikli pair as buffer.
The speaker current can be limited using series resistance in blue line such that
the base current as well as collector current (i. e. Speaker current also). The formula is
R={(Vcc-Vee)-.05}*[ratio of potential divider if used]*b/Ispk. Ispk=Speaker Current,
b= hFE of the transistor
The current carrying capacity can be increased using Darlington pair with
Power transistor to increase volume.
7. Applications
The principle used in above circuits can be used in wireless music systems.
The speakers that we use today in our desktop computers can be made wireless by
using infrared ray transmission. This increases the portability of the audio systems
and in fact a desktop computer can be used as disc-man in our room.
7.3 CC Cameras
The RF-Link AVS-5811 5.8GHz wireless PAL video/audio sender consists of one
transmitter and one receiver. This device transmits wirelessly vivid video and hi-fi
stereo sound from a VCR, TV set, LD, DVD, and VCD, Satellite Receiver or cable set
top box to any TV or monitor. It can also be used in conjunction with a camcorder or
CCD camera and turns into a wireless security monitoring system. As to the
transmission capability, the signal can go up to 300 feet clear light-of-sight and even
penetrate wall. With the built-in IR remote extender, it allows the user to remotely
control the audio/video sources in the other rooms. In addition, four user selectable
channels allow multiple transmitters to multiple receivers operation in the same area.
All these advanced features will make your home life with amazing convenience and
joy.
• Avoid the interference from crowded 2.4GHz ISM band applications such as Video
Sender, 802.11b Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, Cordless Phone, Microwave Oven, etc.
• Transmitting and receiving of crisp video and hi-fi stereo even through walls.
• Long transmission range up to 300 feet clear line-of-sight. PAL video format.
7.5.1 Description
Easily change channels from any room in your home! The Wireless Remote
SENDER is the missing link in your home. Have you ever wished your infrared
remote control could transmit through walls? Now it can. Simply place the transmitter
in another room and place the receiver anywhere in the room where the equipment
you want to control is located. The transmitter receives the infrared (IR) signals from
your remote control and converts them into a radio frequency signal. This signal
penetrates walls and is picked up by the Receiver. The receiver then converts the
signal back into an IR signal and sends the command to the equipment being
controlled.
