This blog is for circuit hungry people. Those people that are interested in practical work rather than software. This blog is for Engineers and Technicians who chooses either Electrical, Electronic, Telecom as there field. From basics to High Level Projects circuit diagrams with details are given in this blog that not only helps in developing practical knowledge but also strong the theoretical knowledge of students.

Melody generator for greeting cards
This tiny circuit comprising of a single 3 terminal IC UM66 can be built small enough to be placed inside a greeting card and operated off a single 3V flat button cell.
There is not much to the circuit. The UM66 is connected to its supply and its output fed to a transistor for amplification. You can either use a 4ohm speaker or a " flat" piezoelectric tweeter like the one found in alarm wrist watches.
If you use the piezo, then it can be connected directly between the output pin 1 and ground pin 3 without the transistor.
The UM66 looks like a transistor with 3 terminals. It is a complete miniature tone generator with a ROM of 64 notes, oscillator and a preamplifier. When it first came into market, it was programmed for the "Jingle bells" tune. Now they come with a wide variety of different tunes.
