Here, I am going to discuss a very common circuit

which is being used in every home and offices that

is Electronics Door Bell. Although nowadays a
variety of electronics door bell are available in the
market but here I am going to make a door bell
using a commonly available 555 Timer IC. 555
timer IC is a multipurpose IC and have a variety of
configurations. In this project I will 555 as a
monostable and astable vibrator. By selecting an
appropriate value of resistors and capacitors we
can get the desirable frequency and time delays.

Description.
The main part of this doorbell circuit are two 555 timer ICs.When some one
presses switch S1 momentarily ,the loud speaker sounds a bell tone as long as the
time period of the monostable multivibrator built around IC1.
When the switch S1 pressed, IC1 is triggered at its pin 2 and output pin 3 goes
high for a time period previously set by the values of POT R4 and POT R5.When
the output ofIC1 goes high it resets IC2 and it starts to oscillate to make a bell
sound through the speaker.The IC2 is configured as an astable multivibrator
whose oscillation frequency can be varied with the help of POT R5.By adjusting
the values of R4 & R5, modifications on the tone are possible.
