Sound detector-

As janhavi explains us basic idea of our project.

Basically,,,‘Sound Detector’ is a ckt which detects vibrations of the sound waves and
amplifies it to be heard distinctly by human ears.

As per the design of the sound detector circuit using IC 741 , it works efficiently within
the 6 meters limit around the vicinity where it is fixed. (for example in a corner of house)
.

As soon as a microphone incorporated in the project detects sound wave vibration, the
sound detector circuit using op-amp 741 produces beep sounds to alert people around
that area.

Lets move towards ckt diagram & simulation of project.

The circuit diagram of sound detector circuit using op-amp 741 is shown in this . The
heart of the circuit is op-amp 741 which is used in order to sense the vibrations of sound
waves condenser microphones.

The sensitivity of the condenser microphone is adjusted by the value of resistor R1 used
in the circuit. Once the microphone detects sound vibrations, it picks them up and
converts into electrical signals. The output of microphone is fed as input to the pin 2 of
IC1 via coupling capacitor C1. Then the signal undergoes amplification and it is
forwarded to IC2(IC 741C) which in this project serves as a comparator device.

The non-inverting pin 3 of IC2 receives input from amplified output signal of IC1 . In the
same way, an inverting pin 2 of IC2 fetches input signal from a reference voltage passed
via voltage controller VR2.

At the final stage, IC2 output is fed as triggering input pulse to Darlington pair transistors
T1 and T2. A piezo-buzzer which is connected at the end of transistor T2 i.e. at the
emitter terminal is that component responsible to produce beeping sound at the end of
operations followed throughout the entire circuit.
The fascinating fact about the project sound detector circuit using op-amp 741 is that it
can be designed within a small area on a PCB or Veroboard as well. To attain maximum
possible gain of IC1 and sensitivity of IC2, adjust the respective values of potentiometer
VR1 and VR2 .

During practical implementations of the project, if the beeping sound from piezo-buzzer
goes on and on and doesn’t stop, set the wiper of VR2 towards the ground line. For
faultless circuit, there are some some points which we have to take care.

Fix the piezo-buzzer at a place where people can hear and sensor at appropriate place
where you need continuous monitoring.

So as to extend the sensitivity of the microphone, connect it using two-core shielded


wire and enclose it in a small case.

To avoid noises from AC mains, battery supplies are highly recommended for this
particular project.

Simulation-
Now lets simulate our ckt which is sound detector using opamp714.
For simulation of ckt, we using Proteus Software because it provides much more libraries
of components.
This is design of ckt diagram for simulation including, Power supply of 9V and sound
detector ckt using op amp 741.
Lets simulate it by running simulation . check this is the output of Power supply which is 9V.
This 9V fed to the input of sound detector CKT.

And we get output by beeping of buzzer.


This is all about simulation.

So lets move towards PCB designing:

What is PCB?
A printed circuit board, or PCB, is used to mechanically support and electrically connect
electronic components using conductive pathways, tracks or signal traces etched from
copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate.
The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is very important in all electronic gadgets, which are used
either for domestic use, or for industrial purpose. PCB design services are used to design
the electronic circuits. Apart from electrically connecting, it also gives mechanical support to
the electrical components.

for designing PCB we used Easyeda software

there are some steps for PCB layout and design :

1. Create the Schematic


2. Create a Blank PCB Layout
3. Schematic Capture: Linking to Your PCB
4. Designing Your PCB Stackup
5. Defining Design Rules and DFM Requirements
6. Place Components
7. Insert Drill Holes
8. Route Traces
9. Add Labels and Identifiers
10. Generate Design Files

This figure shows the bottom view for Sound detector ckt &this is top view of out CKT.
It is all about CKT simulation and PCB desging, that is from my side.
