Here is a circuit for an miniature IC organ using 3-volt AF amplifier IC TDA2822. Frequency of the AF sound generated depends on the capacitor between pin 1 and pin 7 of IC. When switch SW1 to SW10 are pressed, different audio tones are heard from the speaker. SW1 to SW10 are small push-to-on switches. Pin 2 of IC is connected to positive terminal of 3-volt battery. Two pen cells connected in series can be used to power this circuit. Satisfactory loud sound will obtained at 3-volt supply.
Note: Capacitors C6, C8, C9, C10, C11, C12 are parallel combination of two or three capacitors to obtained the odd values.
