Single IC Piezo Driver Circuit – LED Warning Indicator

Last Updated on December 31, 2018 by Swagatam Leave a Comment

The single IC piezo driver with LED explained here can be used as a warning indicator device in conjunction with some sensor for generating an audible as well as a visual indication.

How the Circuit Functions

  1. The circuit of this piezo cum LED driver, warning indicator circuit utilizes just a single chip RE46C101 from microchip, for implementing all the procedures.
  2. The chip has the feature of a built in piezo driver as well as a LED indicator circuit.
    The chip is operated using a single 9 volt PP3 cell, which is applied across its pins 2 and 5.
  3. The piezo driver output must be terminated to a three pin type piezo transducer and connected correctly as shown in the figure.
  4. The outer metal case of the piezo goes to the pin #6, the inner white portion which covers maximum surface goes to pin#7while the smallest section of the piezo at the center goes to pin#4 via R4.
  5. The IC will deliver a sharp, chilling frequency over the piezo producing an ear piercing warning sound.
  6. The audio is accompanied with a simultaneous LeD indication at pin #1 of the IC.
  7. The above execution takes place when a high logic supply is applied at pin #8 of the IC.
  8. This logic input may be derived from a sensor configuration for triggering this circuit.
  9. For example, this single IC piezo driver circuit may be used in conjunction with a smoke detector sensor, when a smoke or fire is detected by the sensor, it sends a high logic to pin #8 of the IC for enabling the required warning alert indications from the IC outputs.
