PGA450-Q1: reducing measurements blind spot limit

Part Number: PGA450-Q1

Hi,

 

we followed your advice and tested the pga450 with dual transducers functioning as a separate receiver\transmitter (our main goal is to decrease the minimum measurable distance to ~5cm)

we did reach a minimum of ~10cm in a test in which:

  • Configured 2 58kHz transducers to function as separate Rx\Tx.
  • Jumpers JP4 and JP3 are removed and jumper JP5 is installed.
  • Blanking timer is 0.
  • XFMR config is set to single-ended.
  • On firmware side :
    • EN_CTRL register value is changed from 0x85 to 0x82 to disable the decay monitoring function

and to enable bursts on OUTB in single-ended.

    • Cancel while loop to indicate saturation decay.

 

 

The thing is that I can still see saturation in the first ~15 fifo samples and I’m not sure it makes sense as in theory, saturation time should not exist on the receiver side. Am I wrong to assume that?

 

Thanks!

Guy
