PGA460: Ultrsonic Distance Measurement Resolution

Part Number: PGA460
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDC7201

Hi

In regard to ultrasonic distance resolution offered by TI. We have obtained two answers that apparently do no reconcile;

 

Questions are; 

  • Did we understand correct?
  • Is there a mistake in one of the answers?
  • Does TI have other ultrasonic solution(s)?
  • Is the limitation coming from the transducer? In that case do you have a recommendation for a high-resolution transducer?

Regards

Sam

  • Sam,

    Please note that the PGA460 can provide us with resolution of 1cm only.

    Please refer to my e2e answer in the RE: TDC7201: Range and Resolution: e2e.ti.com/.../2949535

    The minimum distance that can be measured using any Ultrasonic device is depended on the transducer that is used and its ringdown time.
    We do not have any list of transducer that has the lowest ringdown time.
