In our hands-on review of the Digilent chipKIT Uno32, we posed the question of what the lasting appeal might be for a 32-bit Arduino work-alike. We felt it needed some novel applications exploiting ...

Japan's Kyocera Corporation has combined a piezoelectric actuator with a special resin film to produce a proprietary, piezo film speaker that is considerably thinner and lighter than conventional ...

The thinner our devices become, the less room there is for speakers and other thicker components. Kyocera has a solution, however: it just modified its Smart Sonic Receiver conduction technology for ...

With its built-in boost converter, the PAM8907 piezoelectric sounder driver from Diodes is capable of driving a ceramic/piezo sounder with up to a 31-V PP output. The part maximizes sound pressure ...

Sporting a form-factor consistent with common piezo indicators, but generating roughly double the sound pressure, is how the company characterizes the KPI-800 family. The new 26-mm diameter by 22-mm ...
