7.1 Overview

The TUSS4470 is a highly integrated driver and receiver IC designed especially for ultrasonic transducers operating between the range of 40 KHz to 1 MHz. The TUSS4470 integrates an H-bridge to drive the transducer directly. This is useful in applications where the receive transducer sensitivity is high and large driving voltage is not required to create sufficient sound pressure level and where short distance measurements are needed. The driver stage has flexible and configurable controls set through the SPI interface or through digital input pins that can be driven by an external MCU. The receive stage consists of a logarithmic amplifier receive chain. The logamp enables the TUSS4470 to have a wide dynamic input range. This enables applications where objects with different physical properties must be detected with the same sensor. A key advantage of the TUSS4470 is that it integrates a bandpass filter that can be tuned to the center frequency of the transducer. A demodulated analog output representing the receive echo, the zero crossing of the input signal, and a simple threshold crossing indicator enable a variety of end applications from complex object detection to simple presence detection.
