LS1240

LS1240A Electronic Two-Tone Ringer . . . . . LOW CURRENT CONSUMPTION, IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE PARALLEL OPERATION OF 4 DEVICES INTEGRATED RECTIFIER BRIDGE WITH ZENER DIODES TO PROTECT AGAINST OVERVOLTAGES LITTLE EXTERNAL CIRCUITRY TONE AND SWITCHING FREQUENCIES ADJUSTABLE BY EXTERNAL COMPONENTS INTEGRATED VOLTAGE AND CURRENT HYSTERESIS Minidip DESCRIPTION LS1240A is a monolithic integrated circuit designed to replace the mechanical bell in telephone sets in connection with an electro-acoustical converter. It can drive directly a piezoceramic converter (buzzer)or a dynamic loudspeaker. The output current capability of LS1240A is higher than standard ringer. For driving a dynamic loudspeaker LS1240A can simply use a decoupling capacitor, thus eliminating the usual transformer. No current limitation is provided on the output stage of LS1240A, so a minimum load DC of 50 Ω is adviced, in series with a proper capacitor. The two tone frequencies generated are switched by an internal oscillator in a fast sequence and made audible across an output amplifier in the loudspeaker, both tone frequencies and the switching frequency can be externally adjusted. PIN CONNECTION (top view) SO8 ORDERING NUMBERS Minidip LS1240A SO8 LS1240AD1 The supply voltage is obtained from the AC ring signal and the circuit is designed so that noise on the line or variations of the ringing signal cannot affect correct operation of the device.
