Simple Powerful Siren Circuit Schematic Diagram
Simple Electronic Applications 2 Comments »This circuit operates with 12V DC, with purpose to obtain more power than the siren circuit already and to avoid the use of ICs. With a simple and usual use parts, this device are easy to made and very portable. The complementary transistor pair (Q2, Q3) is wired as a high efficiency oscillator, directly driving the loudspeaker. Parts:
R1,R3——————————————1K 1/4W resistors
R2,R5——————————————10K 1/4W resistors
R4———————————————-220R 1/4W resistor
R6———————————————-220K 1/4W resistor
R7———————————————-22K 1/4W resistor
R8———————————————-100K 1/4W resistor
C1,C2——————————————22uF 25V electrolytic capacitors
C3———————————————10nF 63V polyester or ceramic capacitor
C4———————————————47uF 25V electrolytic capacitor
Q1,Q2—————————————-BC557 45V 100mA PNP transistors
Q3———————————————BC337 45V 800mA NPN transistor
SW1——————————————-SPST toggle or slide main switch
P1———————————————-SPST pushbutton switch
SPKR——————————————8ohm loudspeaker
B1———————————————12V battery
Q2 ensure a full charge of C2 when power is turned on. Pressing on P1, C2 gradually discharge trough R8. The circuit starts oscillating at low frequency that increase slowly until a high steady tone is reached and keep indefinitely. When P1 released, the output tone frequency decrease slowly as C2 is charged to the battery positive voltage through R6 and the base emitter junction of Q2. When C2 is fully charged, the circuit stop oscillating, reaching the stand-by status.
A good sized loud speaker will ensure a better and powerful output tone, maximum current at full output is about 200mA
