TUSS44x0 EVM for Ultrasonic Sensors User's Guide
The TUSS44x0 Evaluation Module (EVM) lets users evaluate the functionality of Texas Instrument's
TUSS4440 and TUSS4470 ultrasonic sensor-signal conditioner and driver integrated circuits. The
TUSS4440 and TUSS4470 devices are highly integrated transducer drive analog front-end devices for
industrial ultrasonic applications. This user’s guide describes both the hardware platform containing a
sample TUSS4440 (BOOSTXL-TUSS4440) or TUSS4470 (BOOSTXL-TUSS4470) device, and the
graphical user interface (GUI) software used to configure and operate the device. This EVM can be used
to display the ultrasonic echo envelope and time-of-flight measurement results of the transducer when
used with the GUI.
