Sonar Ranging Module
SRM400
The SRM400 is a sonar ranging module
utilizing our new developed Sonar Ranging IC,
PW-0268, which can work with all our PT or
EP type transducers. SRM400 provides as a
shortcut to develop car reversing systems or
some other distance measurement systems for
design engineers who are not very familiar
with analog circuit and/or the operation of
ultrasonic transducers. By using this module
engineers can focus firstly on the other fields of
digital circuit and software designs as well as
some other mechanical issues. After first stage
then you can either design your own analog
circuit based on the module construction or
consult with factory for making your own
module for your special needs.
Features:

Band
Pass
Filter:
reduces
external component count,
Bi-direction I/O Pin: simplifies the control
function for transmitting a pulse and
receiving an echo
An adjustable System Clock: enables the
control of, the number of pulses transmitted,
the slope of the variable gain amplifier, and
the pulse repetition rate
