SUMMARY

The component referred to as the 9300 in musical doorbell circuits is identified as a music integrated circuit (IC) that stores and plays songs, such as "Jingle Bells." Users have expressed difficulty in sourcing this specific IC, with alternatives like the UM66 being considered. Additionally, inexpensive musical doorbells available on platforms like eBay provide a practical solution, often containing similar music chips. The Picaxe 08M is also mentioned as a programmable option with built-in songs, requiring a programmer for customization.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of music integrated circuits (ICs)
  • Familiarity with the UM66 music IC
  • Basic knowledge of electronic components and circuits
  • Experience with programming microcontrollers, specifically the Picaxe 08M
NEXT STEPS

The text says it is a music IC. It stores the data for playing songs.

So, you push the button and it plays "Jingle Bells" or something like that.

Some of them have 20 songs in them and these play randomly.
 
9300 is a music IC ??

But the problem is that I am unable to find anything about this particular IC on net. Can anyone please help or is there any alternate IC ? What about UM66 ??


Would I be able to use it instead of that 9300 ??
 
None of the electronic parts suppliers I tried carry any music chips at all.

This might be explained if you look on Ebay for "Doorbells". You can buy musical door bells with a wireless connection between the push button and the music player, for as little as $2.

If you really wanted the chip, I guess you could just take one out of one of these cheap door bells. But why would you bother if you just wanted to make a door bell anyway?
Just use the one from Ebay.

I should mention that the Picaxe 08M has 4 songs built into it and you can program new songs.
However you would need a programmer to do this.

Doorbells that play music are actually more embarassing than anything. They play a song, but the song may be inappropriate for the visitors and you may have to apologise for it.

A chiming one that just gives two sounds of different pitch is a lot more classy.
