RE46C104 

Piezoelectric Horn Driver and Voltage Converter

 

Product Specification 

 

 
General Description 

 
The RE46C104 is a piezoelectric horn driver with 
voltage converter to provide maximum audibility in 
low voltage applications. The feedback control pin is 
designed for use with self-oscillating piezoelectric 
horn but can also be used in direct drive 
applications.  The built-in charge pump voltage 
converter provides increased supply voltage for the 
horn drivers allowing outputs to swing from Vss to 2 
x Vdd.  A charge pump enable pin is provided to 
minimize supply current when not in use. 
 

 

 

 

 

Applications 

 
Smoke detectors 
CO Detectors 
Personal Security Products 
Electronic Toys

 

Features 
 

•  Low Quiescent Current  
•  Low Driver Ron  
•  Wide Operating Voltage Range 
•  Available in Standard Packaging or RoHS
