TDC7200PW

Sensor And Detector Interfaces Overview

The TDC7200PW is a Time-to-Digital Converter manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for high-precision time interval measurements in Time-of-Flight applications. It is housed in a 14-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP). The device supports up to 16 channels of synchronous sampling and integrates digital signal processing capabilities to reduce external component requirements. It operates with a supply voltage range typically centered around 3.3V and communicates via an SPI interface. The chip provides nanosecond-level resolution, making it suitable for LIDAR, magnetostrictive sensors, and flow meters.

Sensor And Detector Interfaces Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PW' indicates the TSSOP-14 package variant when ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official datasheets or manufacturer documentation prior to procurement. Ensure compatibility with system voltage levels and SPI interface requirements.

Sensor And Detector Interfaces Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring precise time-of-flight calculations where multiple channels are needed. Compare against single-channel alternatives like the TDC7201 if channel count is not required. Evaluate power consumption and resolution needs against other TDC solutions in the market.

Sensor And Detector Interfaces Part Context

The TDC7200 series includes variants such as TDC7200PWR (Reel) and TDC7200PW (Tube). It is often paired with ultrasonic front-end amplifiers like the TDC1000 for complete sensing solutions. The EVM module allows evaluation of its performance before integration into final designs.

Sensor And Detector Interfaces Replacement Considerations

The TDC7201 is a single-channel alternative within the same family. For higher channel counts, consider the TDC-GPX series from other manufacturers. Verify pinout and register compatibility if substituting with similar TDC devices.
