CHAPTER 9 BUZZER OUTPUT
9.1
Overview of Buzzer Output
The buzzer output can select from seven different output frequencies (square waves)
and can be used for applications such as sounding a buzzer to confirm key input. The
output pin also serves for remote-control transmission frequency output.
Buzzer Output Function
The buzzer output function outputs a signal (square wave) suitable for applications such as
sounding a buzzer to confirm an operation.
•
The buzzer output function can select the buzzer output frequency from among seven
different frequencies or disable output.
•
The timebase timer and watch prescaler supply four and three different frequency-divided
outputs as buzzer outputs, respectively.
Tip:
As the buzzer output uses a frequency-divided output of the timebase timer or watch
prescaler, clearing the clock supply source (timebase timer or watch prescaler) selected for
buzzer output affects the buzzer output function.
Check:
Since the timebase timer does not operate when the main clock stops oscillation (in subclock
mode), do not select any frequency-divided output of the main clock for buzzer output. If the
single-clock configuration has been selected by setting the option, do not select any
frequency-divided output of the watch prescaler.
Table 9.1-1 lists the seven output frequencies (square waves) that can be selected for the
buzzer output function.
