Description

This is a reference design that could be applied to windows, door entrances, and other points of entry. When a vibration caused by an outside force is detected, an alarm will sound to scare off intruders. This Window Alarm with Buzzer solution features the RL78/G10 general-purpose MCU's functions such as external interrupt, timer module, buzzer output controller, and watchdog timer. 

In a normal situation when there is no vibration to a window, the device will enter STOP mode. When vibration is detected, it will release from STOP mode and sound an alarm. With the RL78/G10 STOP mode function, power consumption is suppressed, allowing battery life to last longer. The Window Alarm with Buzzer can play a defensive and alarm role for ordinary house doors and windows, as well as large glass windows, glass cabinets and booths.
