Buzzer Tone Output

A simple tone generator is implemented in the HT1670.

The tone generator can output a pair of differential driv-

ing signals on the BZ and BZ which are used to generate

a single tone.

By executing the TONE 4K and TONE 2K commands

there are two tone frequency outputs selectable that can

turn on the tone output. The TONE 4K and TONE 2K

commands set the tone frequency to 4kHz and 2kHz, re-

spectively. The tone output can be turned off by invoking

the TONE OFF command. The tone outputs, namely BZ

and BZ, are a pair of differential driving outputs used to

drive a piezo buzzer. Once the system is disabled or the

tone output is inhibited, the BZ and the BZ outputs will

remain at low level.

Command Format

The HT1670 can be configured by software setting.

There are two mode commands to configure the

HT1670 resource and to transfer the LCD display data.

The configuration mode of the HT1670 is called com-

mand mode, and its command mode ID is 100. The

command mode consists of a system configuration

command, a system frequency selection command, an

LCD configuration command, a tone frequency selec-

tion command, a bias current selection command, a

timer/WDT setting command, and an operating com-

mand. The data mode, on the other hand, includes

READ, WRITE, and READ-MODIFY-WRITE opera-

tions.

The following are the data mode ID and the command

mode ID:

If successive commands have been issued, the com-

mand mode ID can be omitted. While the system is op-

erating in the non-successive command or the

non-successive address data mode, the CS pin should

be set to

²1² and the previous operation mode will also

be reset. The CS pin returns to

²0², so a new operation

mode ID should be issued first.

If successive commands have been issued, the command mode ID can be omitted. While the system is operating in the

non-successive address data mode, the CS pin should be set 1 and the previous operation mode will also be reset. The

CS pin returns to 0, so a new operation mode ID should be issued first.
