Multi-Line Telephone Intercom (9x14)

Udgivelsesdato: Maj 03, 2019

Modern smart phones have become so ubiquitous these days that old analog phones are getting left in the dust. However, you may still have a few of these old phones hanging around your house collecting cobwebs or you may have seen some lingering on the shelves at your local thrift shop. Now’s your chance to put them to good use. In this video, Derek takes you back to a time when stretching a phone cord across the room was the norm by creating a 4-line telephone intercom system with basic ringing capability. The circuit surrounds a DTMF decoder IC which handles keypress detection, a simple AC inverter to handle the ringing and a current source which allows analog communication between multiple phones.
