I am trying to design sensors for an ultrasonic flowmeter. The data sheet has a USS unit and generates a UUPS voltage. But I cannot find out what is the voltage. I need to know this before I can design any sensors.
Many thanks Richard

Hi Richard,
Actually, the actual voltage you will see will somewhat depend on the transducer rating and the PVCC voltage But in general, because the CH0_out and CH1_out are part of the PHY, which is powered from PVCC, if your PVCC = 3.3v, you should see approximately 3.3v output. Make sense?
Adding.. check the manufacturer's spec on the transducer's voltage rating and make sure it can tolerate this voltage.
Thanks Dennis. That sounds about right. As I normally work with drive voltages in the 10V + range, I hoped that the supply would have some voltage doubler and or +/- voltage drive. I will have to rig one up and see what it performs like.
