Automotive Horn System is a standalone module which is controlled by Microcontroller by generating switching frequencies that can be calibrated. The following are the preconditions for Horn Operation:
- Engine ON (System is in HORN State): The system will generate selected duty cycle at PWM pin where Horn is connected.
- Engine OFF: (System is in Calibration State): The switching frequency or Duty cycle can be increased or decreased by 5% through two calibration switches w.r.t default value ie. 30%
- Increase/Decrease of switching frequency using two switches (GPIO Input):
- After powering up the system, the system will start with factory calibrated PWM of 30% duty cycle.
- The switching frequency can be increased or decreased using two switches.
- Thermal and safety feature: In horn state, system will check the temperature value using analog input to avoid thermal breakdown of Horn system as per below conditions:
- If temperature is higher than 500 and less than 1000 decimal value, then system will switch to 10% duty cycle on PWM output to avoid thermal breakdown of the circuit.
- If temperature is higher than 1000 decimal value, the system must switch OFF the PWM output to zero.
- Under normal conditions i.e. temperature value less than equal to 500, system will operate as it is and must generate calibrated PWM output.
