PRODUCTION DATA
For smart drug delivery applications, a precise measurement of the dosage must be monitored. One very accurate architecture that is used is differential time of flight (TOF) using transducers. Many liquid flow sensor systems are higher attenuation compared to gas applications. In these high attenuation scenarios, a higher excitation voltage is used to significantly increase the signal to noise ratio (SNR). A bidirectional 2:1 multiplexer is used to switch the transmission and reception signals from the MCU to the transceivers without distortion.
Because the TMUX48xx can support signals beyond the supply, it is an excellent choice for handling this higher excitation voltage. The TMUX48xx can be used to switch up to -15V to 15V with a supply voltage from 1.8V to 5.5V, with an ultra-low on-resistance to minimize the impact on the signal quality. The supply can also be driven directly with a GPIO, allowing the user to put the device into ultra-low power mode. In this mode the TMUX48xx operates with powered-off protection, so any high voltage present on the inputs will not propagate to the outputs. This allows correct power up cycling and increases system robustness. Additionally, the TMUX48xx features excellent THD+N performance, so there is minimal impact to the signal quality through the switch.
