door bell

This circuit consists of two 555 ICs. IC1 is used functions as monostable and IC2 is wired as astable multivibrator. The loud speaker LS1 sounds a bell tone as long as the time period of the monostable multivibrator (IC1).

             The circuit is powered by a 9v battery. When switch S1 is pressed, IC1 is triggered at its pin 2 and output pin 3 goes high for a time period set using preset VR1 and capacitor C1. The high output if IC1 resets Ic2 and it starts oscillating to produce a bell tone through the loudspeaker. The frequency of oscillation of IC2 can be varied with the help of preset VR2, so various tones can be heard through loudspeaker LS1.
