Telephone Tone Ringer with
Bridge Diode
The IN2418 is a monolithic integrated circuit telephone tone ringer
with bridge diode, when coupled with an appropriate transducer, it
replaces the electro-mechanical bell. The device is designed for use
with either a piezo transducer or an inexpensive transformer coupled
speaker to produce a pleasing tone composed of a high frequency (f
alternating with a low frequency (f

DESCRIPTION
The IN2418 tone ringer derives its power supply by rectifying the AC ringing signal. It uses this power to
activate two tone generators. The two tone frequencies generated are switched by 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.
The device can drive either directly a piezo ceramic converter (buzzer) or small loudspeaker. In case of
using a loud-speaker, a transformer is needed.
An internal shunt voltage regulator p rovides DC voltage to the outp ut stage, low frequency oscillator , and
high frequency oscillator. To protect the IC from telephone line transients, a zener Diode is included.
