RE46C108
Piezoelectric Horn Driver and Voltage Regulator
Product Specification
General Description
The RE46C108 is a piezoelectric horn driver with a
voltage regulator that can operate at 3.3V or 5V. It
is intended for applications requiring a 9V horn
driver with a low voltage logic supply. The horn
feedback control pin is designed for use with self-
oscillating piezoelectric horn but can also be used in
direct drive applications.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These
are stress ratings only and operation at these conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
This product utilizes CMOS technology with static protection; however proper ESD prevention procedures should be
used when handling this product. Damage can occur when exposed to extremely high static electrical charges

1/ The brown-out threshold voltage is the Vdd voltage at which the regulator will be disabled and Regout
will be pulled to Vss.
2/ In normal operation, the regulator will provide high-side current of up to 20mA, but current sinking
capability is typically under 1uA. The overvoltage clamp is intended to limit the voltage at Regout when it
is pulled up by an external source.
3/ The limits shown are 100% tested at 25C only. Test limits are guard-banded based on temperature
characterization to guarantee compliance at temperature extremes.
