Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use TDC7200 for ultrasonic sensing measurements?
Connect the ultrasonic sensor to the TDC7200. The TDC7200 is designed to interface directly with ultrasonic transducers. The ultrasonic sensor transmits a pulse of sound and then listens for the echo. When the sensor detects the echo, it generates a signal that the TDC7200 measures. The TDC7200 converts the time it took for the echo to return into a digital signal that can be read by a microcontroller. This time measurement can then be used to calculate distance, as the speed of sound is a constant under standard conditions. This data can then be used in various applications, like distance measurement, liquid level measurement, and object detection among others.
