Hi,

Please help me to know ,

what is the power consumption in listen mode of the TUSS4470 Driver?

How to calculate the power consumption of that driver?

thank you

Mallikarjun,

When the TUSS4470 is in the active burst-listen mode, it draws approximately 11.5mA of current. The device offers a standby mode to reduce consumption to 1.5mA, and a sleep mode for 350uA. The differences between these modes is explained in section 7.4 Device Functional Modes of the datasheet.

You can use the TUSS Generation III EVM GUI software's built-in Power Budget Calculator to help you estimate the power consumption of the device when using the different power modes over time.

thank you Akeem.

Can you please give me the brief information of listen mode in TUSS4470

Mallikarjun,

The current consumption of the device is still 11.5mA in listen-only mode, regardless if you are bursting or not. The bulk of the power consumption of the device is based on the requirement's of the analog front end processing of the received echo data (which includes a low noise amplifier and logarithmic amplifier gain stages). The device always start-up in the active listen mode, so the default current consumption is 11.5mA.

Yes .

know I understand the concept.

Thank you

Akeem,

I am from the same team as Mallikarjun.

A follow up question on the listen mode. Is it necessary to provide VPWR/VDRV voltage if we intend to use only listen mode and never drive the transducer?

This would make our application simpler with only 3.3V provided for the whole circuit (controller + TUSS4470)

Thank you,

Chethan

Hi Chethan,

In short, yes, you can run the TUSS4470 exclusively from a 3.3V supply for a listen-only application.

However, instead of leaving VPWR/VDRV floating, I recommend that you tie your 3.3V signal to VDD, VPWR, and VDRV to ensure the driver block remains stable while inactive. This will avoid a potential device state where VDRV attempts regulate to VPWR (which may create internal switching noise if floating). Ideally, if VDRV is set to remain Hi-Z in software, this device state can be avoided, but best practice is to make VDD, VPWR, and VDRV common as a fail safe for listen only operation.
