c Now-a-days everything in this world is getting wireless. Infrared rays¶ transmission

is one of the most important ways of wireless communication.

c According to the infrared communication, for a distance of about 1 m from a

communication object the communication can be performed without performing
connection via a cable, and the like, which is convenient for use, and which provides an
advantage that the communication can be realized with a simple constitution as
compared with the communication using radio waves.

c From such advantage, the infrared communication is preferably applied to small

apparatuses such as a note type personal computer and a portable information terminal.

c Using this circuit, audio musical notes can be generated and can be heard up to a
distance of 10 meters.
c The receiver can be placed at a maximum distance of 1 meter from the transmitter
without any considerable noise interference.
c However the communication distance can be improved by using Far IR LEDs. The
range of communication can be increased to about 250 meters by using Far IR LEDs.
cThis project emphasizes the way by which music is generated and driven by IR rays
and gives an explanation to the one of the methods of receiving IR rays without
considerable noise interference.

cThe main idea behind the project is to generate musical notes by infrared
radiations.
cThe infrared radiations are transmitted and received by IR LEDs and
phototransistor respectively.
cThis project emphasizes the way by which music is generated and driven by
IR rays .
c This circuit uses a popular melody generator IC UM66 that can continuously
generate musical notes.
cThe melody produced is heard through the receiver¶s loudspeaker.
cFor maximum sound transmission the IR LEDs should be oriented towards
IR phototransistor.
cIt can be used in wireless music systems , mobile gadgets and cc cameras.

c This is the simplest ever musical calling bell

that can be easily built. It uses the musical 3 pin
IC UM66 and a popularly known Transistor
BC548b.
c Here the musical IC UM66 generates the
music when it receives supply and drives a
small speaker through a class c amplifier using
PIN 1 OUTPUT
PIN 2 +Vcc silicon transistor BC548b.
PIN 3 -Vcc
c The UM66 series are CMOS IC¶s designed
for using in calling bell, phone and toys.
c It has a built in ROM programmed for
playing music. The device has very low power
consumption.

cThe melody will be available at pin3 of
UM66 and here it is amplified by using
Q1 to drive t he speaker.

cResistor R1 limits the base current of Q1

within the safe values. Capacitor C1 is meant
for noise suppression.
c The volume of the sound of this circuit is so
much that it can be used as a calling bell.
cIn this circuit please don't give the supply
beyond 3 volt without modification as the IC
may got damaged.
cThe circuit should not be run in Rechargeable
battery also if the Speaker resistance is less
than 8 Ohm and may burn the Transistor.
 w%

cNever connect the IC in reverse supply connection
cPower supply must be between 1.5V & 4.5V .
cDo not exceed 4.5 V.
cSpeaker can be driven with external NPN transistor.
cMelody begins from the first note if power is reseted.
cAssemble the circuit on a good quality common board.
cIf transistor HE8050S is not available use any NPN transistor like
BC548 or 2N2222.

% c The IR music transmitter works off a 9V
battery.

c This figure shows the circuit of the IR music

transmitter. It uses popular melody generator IC UM-
66 (IC1) that can continuously generate musical
tones. The output of IC1 is fed to the IR driver stage
(built across the transistors T1 and T2) to get the
maximum range.

c Here the red LED (LED1) flickers according to

the musical tones generated by UM66 IC, indicating
modulation. IR LED2 and LED3 are infrared
transmitting LEDs.

c For maximum sound transmission these should

be oriented towards IR phototransistorL14F1 (T3).
w% 
c The IR music receiver uses popular op-amp IC

µA741 and audio-frequency amplifier IC LM386

along with phototransistor L14F1 and some discrete
components (Fig. 2).
c The melody generated by IC UM66 is transmitted
through IR LEDs, received by phototransistor T3 and
fed to pin 2 of IC µA741 (IC2). Its gain can be varied
using pot meter VR1. The output of IC µA741 is fed
to IC LM386 (IC3) via capacitor C5 and pot meter
VR2.The melody produced is heard through the
receiver¶s loudspeaker.
c Pot meter VR2 is used to control the volume of
loudspeaker LS1 (8-ohm, 1W).
