The IC LS1240A from SGS Thompson is specifically designed for generating a 2 tone ringtone generator circuit. Thus the IC specifically becomes suitable for landline telephones for producing the ringtones when a call is received. However with little modifications the IC can be easily utilized for normal applications, in circuits where a double tone alarm […]

2 Simple Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) Explained
The discussed Earth leakage circuit breaker diagrams will monitor the leakage current level of the earthing line of your house electrical sockets and will trip the appliances as soon a fault is detected. Here I have explained 2 designs, first using transistors only and the second using IC LM324. Introduction If anything goes wrong with […]
7 Interesting IC 555 Siren and Alarm Circuits
In this post I have explained how to use IC 555 to create 7 interesting siren and alarm sound effect generator circuits. The versatile astable multivbrator configuration of IC 555 allows us to implement it for making various types of sirens and alarm circuits. This becomes possible because an astable is basically a waveform generator, […]
Laser Activated GSM Call Alert Security Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple laser GSM call alert security circuit which immediately calls the master as soon as an intruder is detected through a laser beam interruption. The idea was requested by Mr. Roldan. Circuit Objectives and Requirements I am not an electronic engineer, but I can manage to troubleshoot minor […]
Security Alarm Circuit using RCWL-0516 Microwave Radar Sensor
This security alarm circuit using RCWL-0516 microwave radar motion sensor will detect any moving thing in the restricted area and turn ON an alarm sound. The RCWL-0516 is basically an advanced motion sensor using microwave radar signals. I have already discussed the working of RCWL-0516 elaborately, which you can read for more details. Circuit Description The […]
Flashlight Activated Burglar Alarm Circuit
This flashlight triggered burglar alarm circuit will instantly switch ON an alarm as soon as it detects light from the burglar’s torch or flashlight. Burglars and thieves normally set out to steal or rob during nights, when it is completely dark, and depend on a flashlight to investigate the area. Our circuit is setup and […]
