I found an electronic buzzer I have. This one. http://www.designnotes.com/Merchant...uct_Code=SV2&Category_Code=bu&Product_Count=2
I attached a 6 volt DC source to it and heard a high pitch beep. Now this is exactly what I'm trying to make with my oscillator project. So I opened the thing up (obviously broke it in the process) and saw that all it has is a BJT, 2 resistors, and 2 diodes.
What the heck? How do you create oscillations with that? Is there some microscopic op amp or crystal oscillator embedded in it somewhere?
This just does not make sense. If anyone knows how such buzzers are made, I would really appreciate the help. No I don't have a schematic of it. Sadly.
