These small and strong materials offer a wide frequency range, suiting a variety of applications and specific design needs without sacrificing performance. Electronic engineers are no strangers to odd ...

There have been many different ideas presented for increasing the acoustic output of a piezo buzzer or ultrasonic transducer. Most of them involve rather complicated circuitry that drives up the total ...

Piezoelectric buzzers find wide use in embedded systems for audible-signal generation. You can drive a piezoelectric element directly from a microcontroller’s I/O pins, but the maximum voltage rating ...

Piezoelectricity was discovered by two French scientists’ brothers, Jacques and Pierre Curie, in 1880. They found out about piezoelectricity after first realizing that pressure applied to quartz or ...
