3 Flowmeter

In flowmeters, the TMUX9832 can be used to streamline measurement of fluid dynamics. By allowing the processing of several transducer pairs at once, using a multiplexer improves responsiveness and precision of flow measurements. Using a multiplexer, more transducer elements can be added while not over-inflating the need for extra signal processing elements. This enables a more holistic view of the flow measurements, allowing for more noise to be filtered out. Alternatively, using multiplexers can also reduce the number of transducers needed allowing for the transducer elements (often piezo electric) to share inputs to the signal processing stages. Overall, a multiplexer is a great way to enhance accuracy, efficiency and flexibility within a flowmeter system.
