HOW TO MAKE THE UM66T MELODY GENERATOR CIRCUIT
The electronic circuits are used to get alarm sounds to attract human attention. From a long-time ago electric bell, alarm circuits, and buzzers were used to draw human attention and those devices are limited to one type of tone. Sometimes alarms are not appropriate to the installed location and the purpose in which it has been used. Presently circuits are used melody generators to make a suitable sound. The UM66T Integrated Circuit is a common melody generator. This Integrated Circuit is based on CMOS LSI design and its melody is stored in 62-note ROM (1) memory. (note: The IC ROM size is changed according to its manufacturer.)
According to manufacture, it has code variations such as UM66, FT66, and BT66. I am using FT66T19L for this demonstration. According to the table, it plays the For Elisa melody. You can select a suitable IC according to your requirements.
IC's suitable supply voltage is 1.5V to 3.3V. We need two numbers of 1.5V batteries are required to power up this ic. Pin number three is the melody output terminal and its output is limited to 2mA. This melody IC needs an amplifier stage If you need the speaker output. Diagram 1 is used for level hold mode for low power piezo. Diagram 2 is used for level hold mode for the speaker. The switch used in the diagram is normally an open switch (SPST-NO on-off switch) for level holding mode but I used push-button switch for my demonstration. Therefore the push-button is needed to hold on to play the melody. Then select switch according to your requirements.
