DETECT A PHONE CALL

This circuit use to detect a phone call in the cell phone. With 1.5V operating p
ower supply, it using a coil sensor (L1) that can detect the field emitted by th
e phone receiver during an incoming call and will drive the flashing LED. The de
vice must be placed a few centimeters from the cellular phone depend on the coil
sensitivity.
Parts:
R1—————————————————100K 1/4W resistor
R2—————————————————3K9 1/4W resistor
R3—————————————————1M 1/4W resistor
C1,C2———————————————–100nF 63V polyester capacitor
C3—————————————————220uF 25V electrolytic capacitor
D1—————————————————LED 10mm ultra bright
D2—————————————————1N5819 40V 1A schottky barrier diode
Q1—————————————————BC547 45V 100mA NPN transistor
IC1—————————————————7555 CMOS timer IC
L1—————————————————-Coil sensor
B1—————————————————-1.5V battery
When a cell phone ringing, the signal detected by the sensor coil is amplified b
y transistor Q1 and drives the monostable input pin of 555 timer IC. The IC’s outp
ut is doubled by C2 and D2 in order to drive the ultra high LED at a suitable pe
ak voltage. The current consumption on standby mode is less than 200uA. L1 can b
e made by winding 150 to 150 turn of 0.2mm, enameled wire on a 5 cm diameter for
mer. Remove it from the former and wind with insulting tape. It can be also repl
ace with a commercial 10mH miniature inductor, but with lower sensitivity. Use C
MOS IC timer, only these device can safely operate at 1.5V supply or less.
