Overview

The SRM400 is an ultrasonic sensor ranging module designed for proximity detection and distance measurement within a 25cm to 150cm range. It integrates a high-gain amplifier, a band-pass filter, and an adjustable system clock to simplify the implementation of ultrasonic pulse-echo systems.

Why Choose This Part

The module features an integrated variable RC oscillator and system clock, allowing for fine-tuned timing control without external clock sources. Its bi-directional I/O pin simplifies the interface requirements, while the built-in band-pass filter ensures high noise immunity in cluttered environments.

Applications

Car Reversing Systems
Provides short-range obstacle detection and proximity alerts for automotive parking assistance.
Industrial Tank Level Sensing
Monitoring liquid or solid levels in small containers where a 1.5-meter maximum range is sufficient.
Robotic Navigation
Used as a collision avoidance sensor for small-scale autonomous mobile robots in indoor environments.
Presence Detection
Detecting the arrival of objects or people in automated kiosks and industrial workstations.

Getting Started

To use the SRM400, provide a stable DC supply between 6V and 10V and interface the bi-directional I/O pin to a microcontroller to trigger the transducer and measure the echo return time. Ensure the RC oscillator is calibrated to match the resonant frequency of your specific 40kHz ultrasonic transducer for optimal sensitivity.
