The TDC1000 is a fully integrated analog front-end (AFE) for ultrasonic sensing
measurements of level, fluid identification/concentration, flow, and proximity/ distance
applications common in automotive, industrial, medical, and consumer markets. 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 TDC1000 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.
Selecting different modes of operation, the TDC1000 can be optimized for low power
consumption,
making it ideal for battery powered flow meters,
level instrumentation, and distance/proximity measurements. The low noise amplifiers and
comparators provide extremely low jitter, enabling picosecond resolution and accuracy for zero and
low flow measurements.
