Circuit Diagram
Working Explanation
MM5837 is connected with a capacitor at its output PIN 3. This Cx capacitor is responsible for the change in sound effects by varying its values from 0.1uF to 100uF. The output from MM5837 is amplified by TDA2822M which drives an 8Ω speaker. The volume of the circuit is adjusted using the 10KΩ variable resistor.
PIN Configuration MM5837
MM5837 is an 8 PIN dip package IC that has a uniform noise quality and noise amplitude.
| Pin Name | Description |
