ABSTRACT
Thus communication can be performed with the minimum infrared output regardless of the
opposite apparatus. IR communication has here to fore been known in which infrared light is
used to perform communication among apparatuses. According to the IR communication, for a
distance of 1m from a communication object communication can be

performed without

performing connection via a cable and the like which is convenient for use and which provides
and advantage that the communication can be realized with a simple constitution as compared
with the communication using radio waves. From such advantage, IR communication is
preferable applied to small apparatuses such as a note type personal computer and a portable
information terminal. In this we illustrate process by which music can be transmitted through IR
rays.

IR Music Transmitter & Receiver

Using this circuit audio musical note can be generated and can be heard up to a distance of 10
meters. The receiver can be placed at a maximum distance of 1 meter from the transmitter
without any considerable noise interference. The circuits of transmitter and receiver are quite
simple and can be placed and carried anywhere easily. The small apparatus provided with the
infrared communication function in many case operated by a battery incorporated inside so
that it is convenient when a user carries it during movement, and it is preferable that power
consumption be minimized also to lengthen the continuous operation possible time of infrared
emission is optimized. Here there is no use of any modulation techniques when working with
infrared rays. Hence there is no necessity of carrier generation. The apparatus provided with a
conventional infrared communication function, and receiver designs much simpler. This
project emphasizes the way by which music is generated and driven by infrared rays and gives
an explanation to the one of the methods of receiving infrared rays without considerable noise
interference.

3.2 BLOCK DESCRIPTION


3.2.1 POWER SUPPLY
Almost all electronic equipment needs a circuit that converts AC voltage of main supply in to
DC voltage. Our IR music transmitter & receiver needs a fixed voltage regulator of 9v.
The first part of the power supply is a transformer which converts mains voltage to a low
AC voltage. Then it is followed by a rectifier, which converts the AC output of the transformer
to pulsating DC. It is followed by a filter, reduces the ripples in the pulsating DC. This output is
connected to a voltage regulation and we get a regulated voltage.

3.2.2 UM66 MELODY

UM66IC is a popular melody generator that can continuously generate musical tones. The output
of the IC is fed to the IR driver stage. The red LED(LED1) flickers according to the musical
tones generated by UM66IC,indicating modulation.
3.2.3 DRIVER STAGE
It Consist of two transistors(T1 BC547 & T2 SK100) to get the maximum range.
TRANSMITTING LED
IR LED2 & LED3 are infrared transmitting LEDs. For maximum sound transmission these
should be oriented towards IR phototransistor(T3 L14F1).

College of Engineering, Chengannur

IR Music Transmitter & Receiver

3.2.4 PHOTOTRANSISTOR
The transmitted infrared rays from the IR LEDs are received by the phototransistor(T3 L14F1) in
the receiver section. The received signals are fed to the popular op amp 741 IC.
3.2.5 AMPLIFIER
The 741 Op amp IC has two inputs to the amplifier, designated + and -. This is because the
741, like all the IC Op amps of this type, is in fact a differential amplifier. Thus, the output
voltage is determined by the difference between the two input voltages. The + or non-inverting
input, is grounded through a resistor. Its gain can be varied by using pot meter VR1. The output
of IC is fed to IC is fed to ICLM386 via capacitor C5 & pot meter VR2.
3.2.6 AUDIO FREQUENCY AMPLIFIER & LOUDSPEAKER
The LM386 is an integrated circuit containing a low voltage audio power amplifier. The IC
consists of an 8 pin dual in-line package and can output 0.25 to 1 watts of power depending on
the model using a 9-volt power supply. The primary advantages of the LM380 series ICs are
higher output power, very low distortion and low external parts count. The melody produced is
heard through the receivers loudspeaker(8 ohm,1W).

IR Music Transmitter & Receiver

4.1 IC UM66
This is the simplest ever musical calling bell that can be easily built. It is a 3 pin and generates
the music as an analog signal when it receives supply and drives a small speaker through a class
C amplifier using silicon transistor BC547. UM66 is a pleasing music generator IC works on a
supply voltage of 9V. The required 9V is supplied through Zener regulator. Its output is taken
from pin no:1 and is given to push pull amplifier to drive the low impedance loudspeaker. A
class A amplifier can be used before the push pull amplifier to decrease the noise.

Fig:4.1 Front view of UM66 IC


4.2 ZENER DIODE
A Zener diode is a type of diode that permits current in the forward direction like normal diode,
but also in the reverse direction if the voltage is larger than the breakdown voltage known as
Zener knee voltage or Zener voltage. The device was named after Clarence voltage who
discovered this electrical property. UM66IC has a voltage rating of 1.5V-3.4V. Beyond this
3.4V, IC gets damaged. So Zener diode act as a voltage stabilizer for UM66 IC.
4.3 TRANSISTOR
The transistor is a component with 3 wire coming out of it. They are Base(B),Emitter(E) and
Collector(C). Here two transistors are used. BC547(NPN transistor) is a BJT which amplifies the
analog signal provided by the UM66 IC. SK100/BD140(PNP transistor)

is a semi power

transistor which drives the IR rays according the amplitude of music signal.

4.4 LIGHT EMITTING DIODE LED


A LED is a semiconductor diode that emits light when an electric current is applied in the
forward direction of the device. The effect is a form of electroluminescence where the incoherent
and narrow spectrum light is emitted from the pn junction. The current through this LED is set to
a maximum value of 35mA which means bright red light. It is a sort of indicator as well as
voltage provider for the emitter circuit of SK100/BD140.
4.5 IR EMITTER AND PHOTOTRANSISTOR
An IR emitter is an LED made from gallium arsenide, which emits near IR energy at about
880nm. The IR phototransistor act as a transistor with the base voltage determined by the amount
of light hitting the transistor. Hence it act as a variable current source. Greater amount of IR light
cause greater current to flow through the Collector-Emitter leads.

IR Music Transmitter & Receiver

4.6 IC 741
A very typical commercial IC op-amp is the 741. Here its used as a inverting amplifier to
amplify the received audio signals.
4.7 LM386
The LM386 is a low power amplifier designed for use in low voltage consumer applications. The
IC consist of a 8 pin dual in- line package and can output 0.5W.The gain is internally set to 20to
keep external part count low, but the addition of an external resistor and capacitor between pins 1
and 8 will increase the gain to any value from 20 to 200.
4.8 RHEOSTAT
A rheostat is a two terminal variable resistor. Often these are designed to handle much higher
current and voltage. Here pot meter VR1 is used for varying the gain of the op amp and pot
meter VR2 is for controlling the volume of the loudspeaker.
4.9 CAPACITOR
Capacitors store electric charge and are used with resistors in timing circuits. They are also used
in filter circuits. Electrolytic capacitor C2 and C4 is used to filter out the ambient switching
transients from affecting the circuit. C3 is used to block the dc bias of the IR transistor reaching
op amp.
4.10 RESISTOR
Resistor is a two terminal electronic component that produces a voltage across its terminals that
is proportional to the electric current passing through it in accordance with ohms law. R1 sets
the safe operating bias current for the Zener and R2,R3 forms attenuator for the output of the
UM66 IC while applying this signal to the transistor. R10 to certain extent act as a stabilizing
negative feedback component and hence reduces the bias for the receiver transistor.

4.11 LOUDSPEAKER
A loudspeaker is an electro acoustical transducer that converts an electrical signal to sound. The
speaker pushes the air in accordance with the variations of the electrical signal and causes sound
waves to propagate. Here we used 8ohm and 1W loudspeaker LS1.

5.2 CIRCUIT DESIGN


The main circuit of the IR Music Transmitter & Receiver consists of various stages, i.e. the main
power supply unit, transmitter section and receiver section.Step-wise analysis and approach
made it easy to obtain, improve and rectify our mistakes in the designing process.
5.2.1POWER SUPPLY UNIT

The power supply unit consists of a step-down transformer, a rectifier (where we


preferred to use a bridge rectifier), a filter (capacitor filter), voltage regulators that provides
regulated input to next stages.

Design
Output requirement: to generate constant output voltage of 5V and output current of 1A.
1. Step-down transformer
A 230V primary to 9V secondary,1A step-down transformer is required.
2. IN4001 diodes for the bridge rectifier.
3. Voltage regulator 7809 for 9V voltage regulation.
4. Capacitors
Capacitors C2 and C3 are taken as 0.01uF to regulate the output without ripples.
The capacitor C2 can be avoided if the regulator is close to the main power supply.

6.4 PCB FABRICATION


A printed circuit board or PCB is used to mechanically connect electronic components
using conductive pathways, or traces, etched form copper sheets laminated onto a nonconductive substrate. A PCB populated with electronic components is a printed circuit assembly
(PCA), also known as printed circuit board assembly (PCBA).
The various stages of the PCB fabrication are
1. Patterning
2. Drilling
3. Soldering
Patterning (Etching)
The majority of the printed circuit boards today are made from purchased
laminated material with copper already applied to both sides. The unwanted copper is
removed by various methods leaving only the desired copper traces, this is called
subtractive. In an additive method, t races are electroplated onto a bare substrate using a
complex process with many steps. The advantage of additive method is less pollution of
the environment. The method chosen for PCB manufacture depends on the number of
boards to be produced.

Drilling
Holes through a PCB are typically drilled with small-diameter drill bits made of solid
coated tungsten carbide. Coated tungsten carbide is a recommended since many board
materials are very abrasive and drilling must be high RPM and high feed to be cost
effective. Drill bits must also remain sharp. Here we used a mechanical hand drill to drill
the printed circuit board.

Soldering
Soldering is process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and
pouring a filler metal into the joint, the filler metal having a relatively low melting point.
Soft soldering is characterized by the melting point of the filler material, which is below
22
College of Engineering, Chengannur

IR Music Transmitter & Receiver

400C. The filler metal used in the process is called solder. In a soldering process, heat
is applied to the parts to be joined, causing the solder to melt and be drawn into the joint
by capillary action and to bond to the materials to be joined by wetting action. After the
metal cools, the resulting joints are not as strong as the base metal, but have adequate
strength, electrical conductivity and water tightness for many uses.
PCB fabrication using Toner Transfer Method involves the following steps:

First clean the copper clad board thoroughly. Handle the board by edges only.

Place the PCB copper-side up on an ironing board.

Cut the transfer film to size so that its no longer than the board.

Carefully place the transfer film over the board so that the toner side faces the
copper clad.

Secure the film into place with some strips of masking tape, but dont tape over
the toner areas.

Place a small piece of cloth or several layers of paper towel over the PCB and
transfer film.

Let the iron warm up and then apply the iron to the board. Move the iron back and
forth in the slow in even strokes.

Apply steady and firm pressure for 15 to 20 seconds.

Wait 10 to 15 seconds and then gently lift the cloth.

Carefully peel back a small corner of the film to see if the toner has transferred to
the copper clad.

If the toner hasnt completely transferred to the copper, replace the film and apply
the iron for another 15 to 20 seconds.

Follow these steps to etch the board:

Pour the etchant normally ferric chloride, into the plastic tray carefully, avoiding
spills and splashes.

Dunk the board into the tray and continually rock it back and forth.

23
College of Engineering, Chengannur

IR Music Transmitter & Receiver

Keep the board in the solution for 10 to 30 minutes (depending on the type and
strength of the etchant) or until the etchant has removed all the excess copper.
Keep shaking the tray gently moving back and forth.

Use the plastic or wooden tongs to lift the board out of the tray from time to time
to check progress.

The etchant removes the copper, starting from the edges and areas close to resist. The
etchant has completed etching when no traces of exposed copper are visible. Now the
board is drilled and components placed on it.

LM386

LM386 Low Voltage Audio Power Amplifier

Literature Number: SNAS545A

LM386
Low Voltage Audio Power Amplifier
General Description

Features

The LM386 is a power amplifier designed for use in low voltage consumer applications. The gain is internally set to 20 to
keep external part count low, but the addition of an external
resistor and capacitor between pins 1 and 8 will increase the
gain to any value from 20 to 200.
The inputs are ground referenced while the output automatically biases to one-half the supply voltage. The quiescent
power drain is only 24 milliwatts when operating from a 6 volt
supply, making the LM386 ideal for battery operation.

Note 1: All voltages are measured with respect to the ground pin, unless otherwise specified.
Note 2: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical specifications under particular test conditions which guarantee specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the Operating Ratings. Specifications are not guaranteed for parameters where no limit is
given, however, the typical value is a good indication of device performance.
Note 3: For operation in ambient temperatures above 25C, the device must be derated based on a 150C maximum junction temperature and 1) a thermal resistance of 107C/W junction to ambient for the dual-in-line package and 2) a thermal resistance of 170C/W for the small outline package.

LM386

Application Hints
GAIN CONTROL

INPUT BIASING

To make the LM386 a more versatile amplifier, two pins (1


and 8) are provided for gain control. With pins 1 and 8 open
the 1.35 k resistor sets the gain at 20 (26 dB). If a capacitor
is put from pin 1 to 8, bypassing the 1.35 k resistor, the
gain will go up to 200 (46 dB). If a resistor is placed in series
with the capacitor, the gain can be set to any value from 20
to 200. Gain control can also be done by capacitively coupling a resistor (or FET) from pin 1 to ground.
Additional external components can be placed in parallel
with the internal feedback resistors to tailor the gain and frequency response for individual applications. For example,
we can compensate poor speaker bass response by frequency shaping the feedback path. This is done with a series
RC from pin 1 to 5 (paralleling the internal 15 k resistor).
For 6 dB effective bass boost: R . 15 k, the lowest value
for good stable operation is R = 10 k if pin 8 is open. If pins
1 and 8 are bypassed then R as low as 2 k can be used.
This restriction is because the amplifier is only compensated
for closed-loop gains greater than 9.

The schematic shows that both inputs are biased to ground


with a 50 k resistor. The base current of the input transistors is about 250 nA, so the inputs are at about 12.5 mV
when left open. If the dc source resistance driving the LM386
is higher than 250 k it will contribute very little additional
offset (about 2.5 mV at the input, 50 mV at the output). If the
dc source resistance is less than 10 k, then shorting the
unused input to ground will keep the offset low (about 2.5 mV
at the input, 50 mV at the output). For dc source resistances
between these values we can eliminate excess offset by putting a resistor from the unused input to ground, equal in
value to the dc source resistance. Of course all offset problems are eliminated if the input is capacitively coupled.
When using the LM386 with higher gains (bypassing the
1.35 k resistor between pins 1 and 8) it is necessary to bypass the unused input, preventing degradation of gain and
possible instabilities. This is done with a 0.1 F capacitor or
a short to ground depending on the dc source resistance on
the driven input.

LM741

LM741 Operational Amplifier

Literature Number: SNOSC25B

LM741
Operational Amplifier
General Description
The LM741 series are general purpose operational amplifiers which feature improved performance over industry standards like the LM709. They are direct, plug-in replacements
for the 709C, LM201, MC1439 and 748 in most applications.
The amplifiers offer many features which make their application nearly foolproof: overload protection on the input and

output, no latch-up when the common mode range is exceeded, as well as freedom from oscillations.
The LM741C is identical to the LM741/LM741A except that
the LM741C has their performance guaranteed over a 0C to
+70C temperature range, instead of 55C to +125C.

sold subject to TIs terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TIs standard
warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where
mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right,
or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a
warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual
property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied
by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive
business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional
restrictions.
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all
express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not
responsible or liable for any such statements.
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and
acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products
and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be
provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in
such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at
the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are
designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated
products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
