Intro: Clap On Clap Off Switch
Clap On Clap off switch works as an automated switch that makes devices On and Off by making merely a clap sound or other similar pitch sound. It is based on 555
timer IC and electric condenser Mic, which is working as a sound sensor. Condenser Mic basically converts sound energy into electrical energy, that in turns used to
trigger 555 timer IC, through a Transistor. And triggering of 555 ic works as a Clock pulse for D-type flip-flop and would turn ON the LED, which will remain ON until the
next clock pulse means until the next Clap/sound. So this is the Clap Switch which will turn ON with first Clap and turn OFF with the second Clap. If we remove the D-
type Flip flop from the circuit, the LED will be turned OFF automatically after some time and this time will be 1.1xR1xC1 seconds, which I have explained in my previous
circuit of clap switch. You can see that circuit for detailed understanding of concepts.

Step 1: Circuit Diagram


The complete circuit diagram of clap on clap of switch is shown in the above figure. In this circuit, Electric Condenser Mic is used for sensing the sound while transistor is
used to trigger the 555 timer IC. The 555 timer IC further SET & RESET the D-type flip flop and D-type flip flop to remember the logic level (LED ON or OFF) until next
Clap/sound. I have wrote a tutorial with the detailed version of the explanation of clap on clap off circuit. You can read it to understand the detailed working of flip flops in
this circuit. As we are using the IC 555 in Monostable Mode, whose output has been used as a clock pulse for D-type Flip-flop IC. So the clock pulse will be HIGH for
1.1xR1xC1 seconds and then it would become LOW.
