TDK’s SmartSonic™ MEMS Ultrasonic Time-of-Flight Sensors

  • PDF
  •                
TDK’s ultrasonic Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors integrate a MEMS PMUT (Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer) with an ultra-low power SoC (System on Chip) in a miniature reflowable package.
These sensor solutions are capable of ranging to targets of any composition up to 5 meters in any lighting condition, making them ideal for a variety of applications including: obstacle avoidance, presence detection, robotics, security & surveillance, AR/VR, drones, liquid level sensing, smart home/building, and general IoT.

End user products using TDK technology

Kaadas K9-F 3D Face Push-Pull WiFi smart door lock

Utilizing TDK's SmartSonic™ CH201 UltraSonic ToF Sensor

SmartSonic™ Ultrasonic Time-of-Flight Sensors are powering the auto-wake function in the Kaadas K9-F 3D Face Push-Pull WiFi smart door lock. The ultra-low-power of the CH201 greatly extends the battery life of the lock. Follow the below links for more information.
