Another general question on the use of the TDC1000.
If I need to drive my transducer harder ( higher voltage), do you have any app. notes on how to do this?
I would assume a transformer could boost the output, but I am still limited to the maximum power your device can drive.
I could include a FET between your part and the transformer and tie one side of the primary side to a higher voltage, this would allow me to boost the output even more.
Relative to the receiver, looks like input should be protected. This beacuse I will still have the receiver connected to transducer and it would see the higher "boosted" output.
Thinking a couple of signal diodes bk-bk , maybe bring in the signal through a resistive divider.
Any comments on this approach?
Thanks for your help.
