● When the buzzer sounds, an approx.
3.9kHz square signal is output from buzzer
output pin of the microcomputer. After
the amplitude of this signal has been set
to 12Vp-p by a transistor, it is applied to
the buzzer. The piezoelectric element in
the buzzer oscillates to generate the
buzzer’s sound.
