A High-Performance Time Domain Reflectometer
Posted : in News, Products 10 months, 1 week ago
In a previous article, we described an ultralow-cost time-domain reflectometer (TDR) that is used as a radar dipstick for fuel gauges in heavy equipment. Its 150-ps edges were better than good enough, and its rock-bottom BOM cost ($1.30 @ 100 pcs) made it possible for the whole gauge to retail for under $40. That performance is far from the limit for low-cost samplers, as we'll see.
