Texas Instruments BOOSTXL-PGA460 Evaluation Module (EVM)

Texas Instruments BOOSTXL-PGA460 Evaluation Module (EVM) allows users to evaluate the functionality of the PGA460-Q1 ultrasonic sensor-signal conditioner IC. The PGA460-Q1 is a fully integrated system-on-chip, analog front-end (AFE) device for ultrasonic sensing. The BOOSTXL-PGA460 includes one transformer-driven closed-top transducer and one direct-driven open-top transducer for comparison. In addition to evaluating the Texas Instruments PGA460-Q1 device, the other objective of this board is to display the ultrasonic echo profile and measurement results of either a transformer-driven closed-top transducer or a direct-driven open-top transducer when using the Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Features

  • Compatible with ultrasonic transducers operating at a center frequency between 30-80kHz and 180-480kHz
  • Able to generate maximum sound pressure level using either transformer driven and direct driven methods
  • Access to all communication interfaces offered by the PGA460-Q1, including USART, TCI, and one-wire UART
  • Swappable daughtercard allows custom driver-type and transducer combination pairs to be evaluated
  • A fully tested evaluation module includes GUI, quick start demo procedure, USB interface and firmware, and a detailed user's guide
