CH201 Long-Range Sensor

InvenSense's Chirp’s MEMS-based ultrasonic technology leverages a time-of-flight (ToF) range sensor with a power-efficient digital signal processor (DSP) ASIC in a 3.5 mm x 3.5 mm package. The sensor handles a variety of ultrasonic signal-processing functions and algorithms, enabling customers flexible industrial design options for a broad range of use-case scenarios, including range-finding, presence and proximity sensing, object-detection and avoidance, and position-tracking.

Complementing Chirp’s miniature CH101 ultrasonic ToF sensor product, the CH201 provides accurate range measurements to targets at distances up to 5 m. Using ultrasonic measurements, the sensor works in any lighting conditions, from full sunlight to complete darkness, and provides millimeter-accurate range measurements independent of the target’s color and optical transparency. The sensor’s wide field-of-view (FoV) can be customized and enables simultaneous range measurements to multiple objects in the FoV.
