Electronic – How to get higher frequency from DC power supply

frequencysound

I desoldered a component, HY-05 Electro-magnetic sound generator, from a broken motherboard. Its DCV is 3~8V, operating frequency 2400 plus or minus 200 Hz. I can get a small metallic sound with the operating voltage probably because the frequency is wrong. How can I adjust the frequency in the power supply of 50Hz? If the question is bizarre, it may be that the component is just broken.

Best Answer

According to the datasheet, you should give it a square wave with a duty cycle of 50% at a frequency of 2400 Hz with an amplitude of 5 V. You could make that with a 555 timer chip, 2 resistors, and 2 capacitors.
