Depend on the driving signal, the buzzer divide into self drive and external
drive. However inner circuit/ no circuit, DC/ AC, and active/ passive
are all mean the same.
The design of the self drive buzzer is to set the circuit inside the
buzzer and just offer the direct current to work. The inner circuit has
the designed frequency and voltage for the buzzer to generate sound, therefore
the frequency of the self drive buzzer is fixed. However the frequency
is still different from each buzzer, normally is 2300Hz, the acceptable
range is +/-300Hz.
However, the external drive buzzer needs to be drove by the signal of
1/2 square wave V 0-p (Magnetic type), or square wave V p-p (Piezo buzzer)
It is convenient to use a self drive buzzer, but the disadvantages are
the higher cost, the higher defective rate and the unchangeable frequency.
