DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The RE46C100 horn driver provides the circuitry
necessary to drive a three-terminal self-oscillating
piezoelectric horn. It can also drive a two-terminal
piezoelectric horn with the FEED pin used as a signal
input. The horn driver provides a push-pull circuit to
drive the horn, as shown in the
Typical Application
circuit.
In a self-oscillating application, the FEED pin is
connected to the feedback pin of the piezoelectric horn
through a resistor. To drive a two-terminal piezoelectric
horn with an external signal, the FEED pin should be
used as the external signal input. The horn is enabled
when HRNEN is driven to a logic high and is silenced
when HRNEN is driven to a logic low. The horn output
can be modulated using the HRNEN input.
