LS1240A LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
ELECTRONIC TONE RINGER WITH
BUILT-IN BRIDGE RECTIFIER
DESCRIPTION
The Contek LS1240A
designed to be as a telephone ringer . It can drive directly a
piezo-ceramic converter (buzzer). The output current
capacitity of Contek LS1240A is higher than Contek LS1240, For
driving a dynamic loudspeaker , Contek LS1240A needs only a
decoupling capacitor.
isamonolithic
integrated
circuit,
FEATURES
*Low current consumption, in order to allow the parallel
operation of 4 devices.
*Integrated rectifier bridge with zener diodes to protect
against over voltage.
*Little external circuitry.
*Tone and switching frequencies adjustable by external
components.
*Integrated voltage and current hysteresis.

No current limitation is provided on the output stage of ContekLS1240A,so a minimum load DC of 50 ohms is
adviced.
The two tone frequencies generated are switched by an 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 signal and the circuit is designed so that noise on the lin or variations of the ringing signal cannot affect
correct operation of the device.
