week 2

This is the website that related to my project.

On this website, tell us about the snore alarm that use the vibration to wake the sleeper.The vibration is provided by a small motor housed in a small 35mm film case, which can be placed under the sleepers mattress or pillow. This circuit has a level control and peak display indicator, a variable trigger threshold and trigger indication.

From left to right we have the input transducer, which is a small ecm microphone insert. A low pass filter and amplifier built around op-amp IC1, to filter out some high frequency noises. The amplified sound is then converted to DC by a precision rectifier formed by op-amp IC2. The DC component is then filtered again and must be present for a few seconds to activate the delay circuit. The delay circuit uses op-amp IC3 as a level shifter and compares the charge on capacitor C8 to its reference input set by the threshold control, VR2. Once the threshold is reached, this triggers the timer and motor drive. The delay for the motor to run is fixed, but can be made variable by using a potentiometer for R15.
