AIM:
To implement sound level meter to
measure noise in dB by using Arduino UNO.
Project Objective:
100Ω
Specifications:
• Dimension: 6 x 3.4 mm
• Operating Voltage: 2V to 10V
• Current consumption: 0.5mA (max)
• S/N ratio : More than 62 dB
• Operating Frequency: 20Hz to
16,000Hz
• Impedance: <2.2kΩ
Applications:
• Noise detectors
• Voice control modules
• Sound recorders
LM386 Amplifier:
The pin 1 and pin 8 are used to set the gain of the Amplifier. If
there is nothing connected between these pins then the default
gain will be 20 dB, but we can connect a 10 uF capacitor across
it to get the maximum gain of the IC which is 200dB. The pin 7
is used to connect a filtering capacitor (0.1uf) for our amplifier
IC to avoid unnecessary oscillations. The amplified audio
signal can be obtained from the pin 5 which is connected to a 8-
ohm speaker through a filtering capacitor. The RC network with
0.05uF and 10k resistor is optional.
LM386 Audio amplifier features and specifications:
