I have this little AtTiny45 which I'm loading a program with Arduino as ISP.

My goal to use this chip along with a op amp, a piezo buzzer and a press button, and have it automatically sleep between uses.

I intend to use 2 3V pill batteries in parallel (specifically CR2032 if this makes a difference) as the power source, so here are my two questions:

  • Can 2 3V pill batteries in parallel power a small application that will produce audible sound?
  • How long could these batteries last --based on constant use-- if someone used this item for an hour per day?

  • Thanks jsotola! I've updated the question to fit more the need as I was not as clear as necessary. It has a press button which will spark a sound for a short while then resume sleep.

  • Everything depends on used parts, and overall current consumption... For now it's just "it might or it might not" to almost every question you have

    Assuming 5mA when on, one hour a day; 2µA when sleeping the rest of the time; I get around 40 days of runtime. But you can probably have the MCU sleep in between task during that 1 hour of usage. You might have to find a way to turn of the opamp when it's not needed, to keep the sleep current as low as possible. I'm unsure how much current a piezo uses, but I don't think it's much.

  • I guess one could provide current to an opamp through a transistor?

  • @Gerben I followed the link very useful! Thank you
