TUSS4470: Synchronize devices

Part Number: TUSS4470

Hi Team,

We would like to ask your help regarding our customer's inquiry below.

Multiple TUSS4470 devices can be easily synchronized due to the device’s ability to independently enable the receiver path regardless of the driver block’s state. This means the start of the pulse generator can be used as the sole time-of-flight origin reference for all devices.

How can this be done as I need 1 to send and 1 to receive giving the ToF between the two sensing points? 

Regards,

Danilo

  • Hello Danilo,

    Thank you for posting to the PS forum. We are currently out on holiday in the US, we will get a response back to you tomorrow when we return to office. We appreciate your patience!

  • Hello Danilo,

    In order to understand the customers question completely. Are the multiple TUSS4470 devices connected to the same MCU  as the device that would be generating the bursts or are they in different locations?

    If they are all connected to the same MCU then this should not be too hard to achieve but if they are in separate locations (one is 5 meters away ) it will take some additional efforts to calculate the ToF. Looking forward to your reply!

    Best,
