AS8413

AS8413 HIGH PERFORMANCE AUTOMOTIVE SONAR INTRUSION Data Sheet March 2001 High Performance Automotive Sonar Intrusion – Data Sheet AS8413 Key Features True sonar/pulse-echo operation Master/slave synchronization Wide dynamic range Programmable sensitivity levels Self-adaptive to vehicle interiors Self-adaptive to temperature and environmental changes High sensitivity to intrusion Immunity to false alarms Detection of sabotage attempts Compatible with standard 40 kHz ultrasonic transducers Specific for systems with multiple transducers No adjustments needed at factory or at field Few external components Time reference: external clock or oscillator based on crystal/ceramic resonator Built-in self-test Internal power-on-reset Advanced CMOS technology Low power consumption: 0.65 to 1.0 mA Operation between -40°C and +85 °C Available in 24-pin DIP and 24-pin SOIC package General Description The AS8413 is a signal processing IC designed to implement reliable, high-performance sonar intrusion detectors. It generates short 40 kHz bursts to feed an ultrasonic transducer. The resulting sonar waves are reflected on the vehicle interior and the echoes are received by another transducer. Inside the AS8413, the electrical signal is first submitted to an analog conditioning circuit, then it is digitized and processed by a DSP, whose output is analyzed by a discriminator based on fuzzy-logic techniques. Thus, true intrusion conditions can be discerne...
