Overview

The TUSS4440 EVM is a collective of the BOOSTXL-TUSS4440 and MSP-EXP430F5529LP, which enables users to fully evaluate the TUSS4440 ultrasonic sensor signal conditioner and transformer driver. Transducer compatibility is expanded to open- or closed-top transducers operating between 30 to 500 kHz. The transducer drive stage consists of low-side complementary drivers that can be configured to drive an ultrasonic transducer through a step-up transformer. The device delivers constant current to the primary side of the transformer for efficiency. The drivers can be either controlled directly via MCU for complete customization of the burst signal or can be programmed via SPI with customizable burst length. The receive signal path includes a low-noise linear amplifier, a bandpass filter followed by a logarithmic gain amplifier for input dependent amplification. This allows for high sensitivity for weak signals and offers excellent input dynamic range over full signal range. The associated TUSS Generation III EVM GUI can be used to customize, configure, and control the ultrasonic setup, and monitor the performance of the resulting ultrasonic activity.  The BOOSTXL-TUSS4440 includes one transformer driven closed-top transducer.
