Today, residential water meters are designed as smart, static devices with no moving parts. The most widely used technology for this purpose is the ultrasonic Time-of-Flight (ToF) method. ScioSense provides highly accurate AFE (analog front-end) integrated circuits that manage the entire measurement process.
Flow sensing converters drive the piezoelectric transducers, capture the received signals, amplify them if required, and perform the challenging time-of-flight measurement with picosecond-level resolution across multiple zero crossings of the received pulses. All of this is achieved with current consumption of only a few microamperes, enabling battery lifetimes of up to 20 years in metering applications.
With ScioSense TDC-GP22, TDC-GP30, and AS6031 devices, time intervals ranging from 10 µs to 500 µs can be measured with picosecond resolution. While the ultra-low current consumption ensures long battery life, the integrated CPU and firmware in the TDC-GP30 and AS6031 ICs significantly simplify the implementation of high-precision measurements for system designers.
Gas Meters
Ultrasonic gas meters have been on the market since the late 1980s and offer significant advantages over traditional diaphragm-based meters. These advantages include higher measurement accuracy, high performance across wide flow ranges, and long operational lifetime due to the absence of moving parts. In addition, ultrasonic gas meters stand out with their compact size and low noise levels.
Thanks to the AS6040 integrated circuit, time intervals between 10 µs and 500 µs can be measured with picosecond resolution. Its low power consumption enables battery-powered operation over many years, while the integrated CPU and firmware units allow easy integration into gas metering applications.
