ELM701
Solid State Mouse
Description
Features
The ELM701 is a fun circuit for creating mouse-
• Low power CMOS design
like noises. Its very low current consumption makes
it an ideal candidate for battery-powered toys and
novelty items.
• Wide supply range - 3.0 to 5.5 volt operation
• Low power mode between chirps saves batteries
• Pseudo-random intervals for more realistic sounds
All of the logic required for circuit operation is
contained within this 8 pin integrated circuit.
Normally only a battery, a piezo element, and a
single resistor are all that are needed for a complete
circuit, although an on/off switch may be desireable.
• Push-pull piezo drive eliminates the need for an
external capacitor while providing high volume
• Only one external resistor required
The ELM701 uses pseudo-random number
generators to produce from one to four ‘chirps’ at
random intervals of up to about eight seconds. This
makes the noises seem more like a real (but fairly
active) rodent. Between these series of chirps, the
circuit reverts to low power mode in order to
conserve battery energy.
