processing IC, intended for automotive applications for
detecting intrusion into an ultrasound field where
automatic gain control (AGC) is not required or in
applications with a user sensitivity adjustment. The IC
was developed as an Application Configurable System
Cell (ACSC), either to be used as a stand alone circuit,
or as part of a larger custom circuit designed to suit
specific application requirements. The DA5546
contains all the circuit functions necessary to implement
an advanced low power, high sensitivity ultrasonic
movement detection system.
The synchronous demodulator system which monitors
both the magnitude and phase of the return signal gives
a significant improvement in sensitivity and noise
rejection compared to more basic systems. The logic
level alarm output of the DA5546 enables it to be part
of a microprocessor controlled security system. The
DA5546 is implemented in a 1.2um double poly double
metal CMOS process and runs from a single 5V supply
with a basic power consumption of 5mW (excluding
transmit sensor power). The device is available in a 20
pin SOIC package.

System Overview
The front-end bandpass filter removes out of band noise
and interference, particularly the effects of EMC, and
prevents amplifier overload.
The output of the
amplifier is fed to a synchronous demodulator. This
gives an output that is proportional to both the
amplitude
and
phase of the return signal giving a
significant increase in sensitivity, as the phase of the
return signal varies much more rapidly than the
amplitude when intrusions occur. An additional benefit
is the high degree of rejection of wideband noise since
only signals coherent with the transmitter excitation are
recognised.
The demodulator output is high-pass and low-pass
filtered and amplified to extract the Doppler tones
caused by moving object with velocities in the range of
0.1m/s to 2m/s. Further gain is applied to the signal
together with a second high-pass/low-pass filter, to
remove the effects of slow air movement caused by
convection currents inside the vehicle. The output of
the second filter is monitored by a window comparator
with +/-200mV thresholds: any Doppler tones larger
than this will cause the integration capacitor connected
to the CEV pin to be charged up. When this capacitor
is charged to 2.5V the alarm output pin ALR will go
high. If no Doppler tones are present then the
integration capacitor is discharged at a much slower
rate. With a capacitor of 47nF fitted between the CEV
pin and ground, Doppler tones must be present for a
least 400ms before the ALR output goes high.

Application Notes
A single 5 volt power supply is required. The resistor
connected between IBIAS and VDD is used to define
the internal operating bias currents. The chip alone
typically takes approximately 1mA without a transmit
head connected, and 2 - 3 mA with a typical transmit
head. The chip generates its own mid-rail reference
supply of 2.5V which is brought out at the A
GND
pin
for decoupling (mandatory). Most of the internal
analog circuitry is referenced to this voltage. The
operating current of the internal circuitry is set by the
resistor between the I
BIAS
pin and the 5 volt supply.
The DA5546 requires a 4MHz ceramic resonator which
may be of the two or three pin variety. If the resonator
has two pins (as shown) then the correct loading
capacitors must be connected as specified by the
resonator manufacturer. If a three pin resonator is used
then these capacitors are included internally and the
user simply needs to ground the centre pin.
The DA5546 must be used with 40kHz piezoelectric
heads. These are available from several manufacturers
in a wide variety of sizes and styles. In general the
smaller transducers have lower sensitivity. The DA5546
chip provides a differential output drive at the TXH &
TXL pins to drive the transmit head at 10 volts pk-pk.
The polarity of the transmit head is unimportant. If a
reduced output can be accepted, then the transmit head
may be connected between either TXH or TXL and 0
volts to reduce the power consumption.
The receive head should be connected with the case or
'low' side to RXL and the isolated or 'high' side to RXH.
Note that the RXL pin is connected to the A
GND
reference voltage internally and should
not
be
connected to 0V externally.

Application Notes (Continued)
The capacitor connected between pins CEV and ground
sets the integration time. A value of 47nF will give
approximately 400ms. Intrusions must persist for this
time before the ALR pin goes high.
Convection current effects cause air movement which
increase rapidly as the interior temperature of the car
rises. Opening the ventilation outlets on the dashboard
also increases these problems. The effect of air
movement is to create large Doppler signals in the 0 to
1 Hz frequency band, whereas signals caused by
intrusions are in the 10 to 170 Hz band. Since the air
movement effects occupy a different frequency band
than the wanted signals, they can be removed by
filtering. However, these signals can be very much
larger than the wanted signals (up to 50dB), so
discrimination is improved with a higher order filter.
In the diagrams below (Figures 2 & 3) various
configurations of air movement filter are shown :
- Figure 2 shows a simple 2nd order passive high-pass
filter with variable gain. This is necessary for correct
operation of the system as it provides good
discrimination between air movement and slow
moving objects. To increase the sensitivity, increase
the value of the 180kΩ resistor and decrease the value
of the parallel 4.7nF capacitor connected between FIN
and FOP. To decrease the upper Doppler limit,
increase both the series 15nF capacitor connected to
CAH and the parallel 4.7nF capacitor between FIN
and FOP. To increase the lower Doppler limit,
decrease the parallel 47nF capacitor between CAH
and CAL and decrease the series 100nF capacitor
connected to PSD.
For single vehicle type applications, a fixed gain may
be employed as the interior parameters of the
application will not change. In this case, the 20kΩ
variable resistor may be omitted and the other filter
components optimised.
- Figure 3 shows a 3rd order active filter with variable
gain using the uncommitted buffer op-amp available
at pins BIN and BOP. This will give improved
discrimination between air movement and slow
moving objects over the passive filters shown in
Figure 2. To decrease the upper Doppler limit,
increase both the series 15nF capacitor connected to
CAH and the parallel 2.2nF capacitor between FIN
and FOP. To increase the lower Doppler limit,
decrease the parallel 47nF capacitor between CAH
and CAL and decrease the two series 100nF
capacitors connected to PSD.
The ALR pin is the active high alarm output and is both
TTL and CMOS level compatible.
