Speaker Circuit
The system unit has a 57.15 mm
(2-1/4
in.) audio speaker. The
speaker's control circuits and driver are
on
the system board. The
speaker connects through a 2-wire interface that attaches to a
3-pin connector
on
the system board.
The speaker drive circuit
is
capable of approximately
1/2
watt of
power. The control circuits allow the speaker to be driven three
different ways: 1.) a direct program control register bit may be
toggled to generate a pulse train; 2.) the output from Channel 2
of
the
timer/counter
may be programmed to generate a waveform
to the speaker; 3.) the clock input to the
timer/counter
can be
modulated with a program-controlled
I/O
register bit. All three
methods may
be
performed simultaneously.
