TDC1000-TDC7200 is an Ultrasonic Sensing Water Flow/Level/Concentration Evaluation Module

This post sponsored by Texas Instruments.

The TDC1000-TDC7200EVM is an evaluation module (EVM) that allows users to evaluate the operation and performance of the TDC1000 ultrasonic analog-front-end with TDC7200 time-to-digital converter.

The board can be used for many time-of-flight applications such as gas, water, and heat flow meter, fluid level detection, concentration and fluid identification, and proximity or distance measurements. The EVM allows for two ultrasonic transducer connections, and two RTD connections for temperature measurements. It uses the on-board MSP430F5528 to process data and a user-friendly GUI interface to display the data. TDC1000-TDC7200EVM is powered by USB. The TDC1000 analog-front-end (AFE) is an Integrated Circuit (IC) for Timeof-Flight (TOF) applications operating with ultrasound frequencies up to 4MHz.The TDC7200 is a Time to Digital Converter (TDC) that performs the function of a stopwatch and measures the elapsed time between up to five events. The TDC1000-TDC7200EVM evaluation kit comes with the following: on-board TDC7200 and TDC1000, on-board MPS430 microcontroller, and USB Mini-B to USB-A plug cable.
