Piezo Haptics Blog
Piezoelectric actuators convert force applied on them to voltage, and voltage applied on their terminals to displacement. This behavior can be used to sense pressure applied by a user to a device, but also to provide haptic feedback. BOS1901 actuator...

Oscilloscopes are very useful instruments when building applications with the BOS1901. Probing the voltage generated on BOS1901 output can convey a lot of information when used properly. However, when connected incorrectly, bad things are bound to happen.
This application note explains how to properly connect and setup an oscilloscope to probe the BOS1901 high-voltage output signals and what to avoid.
Selecting the right piezo haptic solution can be tedious at times. The solution is composed of a piezo actuator and a piezo haptic driver (amplifier). Both are deeply connected and relies on each other to deliver the best tactile feedback....

We’ve talked a lot about the fact that piezo actuators offer better performance than eccentric rotating mass (ERM) and linear resonant actuators (LRA). If you are interested in learning more on how each technology differentiates itself, please read these three...
