AUTOMOTIVE AND HOUSEHOLD
SECURITY SIREN DRIVER
ISSUE 7 – JULY 2006
INTRODUCTION
The ZSD100 is a frequency swept alarm
signal generator designed specifically for
static and automotive security alarm
s y st e ms . On e Z SD 1 0 0 , t w o t i mi n g
capacitors, an in-expensive TO92 darlington,
piezo transducer and coupling transformer
is all that is necessary to produce an ear
piercing 120 dB alarm siren.
Including an audio frequency signal
generator, low frequency sweep generator,
disable circuitry and output driver stages,
the ZSD100 provides every function
necessary to produce a standard alarm
signal. Available in either an 8 pin DIL or SO
package the IC gives a low cost compact
solution to siren signal generation. The
device operates from supplies of 4V up to
18V and is ideal for security alarms in battery
powered applications, burglar alarms and
automotive anti theft systems.

ZSD100
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The audio signal of the ZSD100 is generated using a squarewave oscillator whose output is capable
of directly driving a wide range of output circuits. To produce a characteristic alarm siren sound, the
frequency of the audio oscillator is swept over a fixed 2:1 range by a second, low frequency oscillator.
The freqencies of both oscillators are controlled by R
T
(INT) and capacitors C
MOD
and C
OUT
.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
1.
R
T
Optional external resistor for improved frequency control. An external resistor
improves the control of both the modulating and output oscillators.
The R
T
pin is also used to power the device down. Either connecting R
T
to V
CC
or
an open circuit will result in the device being disabled.
Selection of modulation waveform is made using the SAW pin. An open circuit
produces a triangle wave, sawtooth is achieved by connecting SAW to the C
MOD
pin.
An external capacitor is used to program the low frequency modulating oscillator.
The value of C
MOD
recommended is between 0.1µF and 100µF.
