Piezo vs LRA: How Linear Resonant Actuators Compare to Piezo Haptics

A linear resonant actuator (LRA) creates vibration by moving a spring-suspended magnetic mass with a voice coil. It was the industry's answer to the weaknesses of eccentric rotating mass (ERM) motors, and for years it was the most efficient haptic technology available. This article is part two of...

Boréas Technologies’ Piezo Driver IC vs Competitors’ Piezo IC - Haptic Technologies Showdown - part 3

Every piezo haptic driver does the same job: amplify the voltage from the power source and send waveforms to the actuator. They do not do it equally well. Most are built on audio amplifier architectures, which produce clean waveforms but draw a lot of power and generate heat, and that has held...
