Description

The TIDA-00462 ultrasonic distance measurement reference design can measure the distance up to 99 inches with an accuracy of ±1.5 inches. The scope of this design is to give you a head-start in integrating our industrial ultra-low-power MCU: analog signal conditioning and power management technologies into  end-equipment systems. This design describes the principle of operation and basic design process for a low-cost distance-measuring system based on ultrasonic sound utilizing the MSP430 ultra-low power microcontroller. This design also addresses component selection: design theory and test results. All the relevant design files like schematics: BOM: layer plots: Altium files: Gerbers and MSP430 MCU firmware are provided.
