TDC1011PWR

The TDC1011PWR is a fully integrated Analog Front-End for ultrasonic sensing measurements of liquid level, fluid identification/concentration and proximity/distance applications. When paired with an MSP430/C2000 MCU, power, wireless and source code, TI provides the complete ultrasonic sensing solution. TI's Ultrasonic AFE offers programmability and flexibility to accommodate a wide-range of applications and end equipment. The TDC1011 can be configured for multiple transmit pulses and frequencies, gain and signal thresholds for use with a wide-range of transducer frequencies (31.25kHz to 4MHz) and Q-factors. Similarly, the programmability of the receive path allows ultrasonic waves to be detected over a wider range of distances/tank sizes and through various mediums. The low noise amplifiers and comparators provide extremely low jitter, enabling picosecond resolution and accuracy.
