TI Introduces More Accurate Smart Water Sheet Chip Ultrasound Sensing Microcontrollers

Currently, the market is increasingly demanding more accurate water meters and remote meter readings, and new MCUs and reference designs can provide corresponding support to achieve efficient water resource management, accurate measurement, and timely billing.

Smarter and more precise flow sensing

Compared to competitor's devices, this technology can measure more accurately with a zero-drift average of 25 picoseconds or less and a standard deviation of 32 picoseconds or less, so that less than 1 liter/hour can be detected. The flow rate. In addition, the integrated MSP430FR6047 device can reduce the number of water meter system components by 50% and reduce power consumption by 25%. The meter can operate for 10 years or more without charging the battery.

The MSP430 Ultrasonic Sensor Design Center provides a comprehensive development ecosystem that developers can use to bring products to market within months. The design center provides tools for rapid development and flexible customization, including a software library, a graphical user interface (GUI), an evaluation module with metrology and digital signal processing (DSP) libraries.
