simple and cost-effective ding dong electronic doorbell circuit based on IC 8021-2

Electronic doorbell circuit using IC 8021 is simple and cost-effective ding dong electronic doorbell circuit is based on IC 8021-2. The IC 8021 has an in-built circuitry to produce ding dong sound each time its pin 3 is pulled low. The sound is stored in the IC 8021 as bits, as in a ROM. The sound output from the IC 8021 can’t however drive a speaker directly, as this puts strain on the device.

Therefore a complementary-pair, two-transistor amplifier is used to amplify the sound to a fair level of audiblity. You may either use a piezo tweeter or an 8-ohm, 500mW speaker at the output. This simple electronic doorbell has not been tested.

During the standby period, the IC 8021 consumes nominal current of a few microamperes only. Therefore switch S1 may be kept closed. Each time switch S2 is pressed, ding dong sound is produced twice. If you try to press switch S2 a second time when the first ding dong sound is still being produed, it has no effect whatever and the two ding-dong bell sounds will be invariably produced.
