I want to use PWM on only one output pin

On second thought modulating a sine wave may not work depending on other things running in the system. The duty cycle update may be delayed which will destroy the modulation.

Yes it is compatible with S130. Use TIMER1 or TIMER2. You should not be allowed to use TIMER0 if SOFTDEVICE_PRESENT is defined.

I see in nrf_drv_config.h the following:

#define TIMER0_ENABLED 1

#define TIMER1_ENABLED 1

is this compatible with S130?

To have one pin instead of two, use APP_PWM_DEFAULT_CONFIG_1CH(period_in_us, pin) instead.

We have a PWM example in SDK 11 that uses the PWM library to change the duty cycle between 0 and 100 percent.

To generate different sounds through a buzzer you have to change the frequency of the signal to the buzzer. Either change the frequency of the PWM directly or modulate a sine wave and change the frequency of the sine wave. You cannot change the frequency of the PWM without reinitializing the PWM instance. I have not tried to modulate a sine wave with the PWM library, but I suspect that it is too slow. You may give it a try and see if it works.
