Abstract:
A system (204, 234, 236, 116, 616) and method (400, 500) for driving a vibrator (112) in an electronic device (102), as well as electronic device employing such a system or method, are disclosed. In one example embodiment, the system (204, 234, 236, 116, 616) for driving the vibrator (112) includes an integrated circuit (116, 616) having one or more input terminals (303, 304, 305, 306), one or more output terminals (336, 337), a vibrator driver amplifier circuit (330), and one or more additional circuit components (308, 310, 610). The system further includes at least one processing portion (234, 236) for providing one or more input signals (702, 801, 802, 902, 1002) to the one or more of the input terminals (303, 304, 305, 306). The system (204, 234, 236, 116, 616) is configurable such that one or more control signals (704, 810, 904, 1004) to be provided to the vibrator (112) will include one or more first signals (704, 810) if the vibrator (112) is a first vibrator device of a first type (114), and one or more second signals (904, 1004) if the vibrator is a second vibrator device of a second type (115) different from the first type.
