Piezo Speaker Output


Dave VanHorn says

Driving a piezo from a micro usually follows a pattern..

One lead grounded, one lead to the micro. Too soft.

Both leads to the micro, driven in opposition. Nice and loud.

Then the strange behaviour begins.

After a while, you notice the similarity in the schematic between a charge pump voltage doubler and your piezo element and port pins, and you realize that every time you flip the piezo, you are flirting with SCR Latchup or glitching your micro.

Then you drive it through a pair of HC inverters at least, and get "happy beeps"

Piezos are also used as pressure sensors +

miSim DE is an excellent, portable and powerful IDE for developing PIC applications.
The only consistant, simple to use yet powerful development environment. It simulates real-world devices via virtual component "plugins" (LED,LCD,key,motor,TV,etc) in real time, has a syntax highlighting editor, macro assembler and disassembler. Regular updates and third-party plugins keep this software ahead of any other PIC IDE.
