In contrast, a piezoelectric sounder (self drive type) consists of only a piezoelectric diaphragm with a feedback electrode. It is used in combination with an external drive circuit. The drive circuit for both of the above is a simple circuit consisting of one transistor and three resistors. When a DC voltage V is applied to the drive circuit, the oscillation conditions in the circuit are satisfied

in the vicinity of the resonant frequency. As a result, the piezoelectric diaphragm is driven at the oscillation frequency, causing it to emit a sound. Regarding the drive circuit for a piezoelectric sounder (self drive type), we set a standard circuit for each product. For details, please refer to our catalog. In contrast to an electromagnetic buzzer which is driven by a current flowing through a built-in electromagnet coil, a piezoelectric sound component is driven by a voltage applied to piezoelectric ceramic. Consequently, it features much lower current consumption than that of an electromagnetic buzzer. The current consumption (excluding that of the peripheral circuit) by a piezoelectric sounder (external drive type) can be calculated simply from the theoretical equation below. When the charging and discharging times of a piezoelectric sounder (external drive type) are significantly smaller than the length of one period of the input signal, the average value of the current which flows into the piezoelectric sounder (external drive type) during a half period can be calculated from the following equation. The average value of the current flowing through the piezoelectric sounder (external excited type), calculated using the above equation for each part No. , is shown in the table below. Provided that you use the product within the range of the maximum input voltage specified for each product, there is no need to take...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
