AN-000260 1 SCOPE AND PURPOSE This document details the specification, programming, and operation of an EV_MOD_CH101-01-02 (also referred to as the EV_MOD_CH101 in the remainder of this document) ultrasonic sensor evaluation module. The module board incorporates a CH101 Ultrasonic Sensor device with an 45° field-of-view acoustic housing assembly, a capacitor and an FPC/FFC connector. This evaluation module can perform pitch-catch and pulse-echo range-finding at distances from 4 cm to 1.2m.
AN-000260 2 EV_MOD_CH101 EVALUATION MODULE BOARD PIN ASSIGNMENTS Table 1. EV_MOD_CH101 ZIF Connector Pin-Out NAME DESCRIPTION Interrupt output. Can be switched to input for triggering and calibration functions SCL Input. I C clock input. This pin must be pulled up to VDD externally. SDA Input/Output.
AN-000260 Each EV_MOD_CH101 requires its own PROG and INT lines, the remaining connections can be shared. Refer to the CH101 datasheet for additional information. Module connections using a flat flex cable (FFC) are shown in Figure 2-2. Figure 2-2. EV_MOD_CH101 Module Connection (EV_MOD_CH101 acoustic port is facing down) TABLE 2.
AN-000260 3 CONFIGURATION, PROGRAMMING, AND OPERATION Please refer to DS-000331 CH101 Datasheet for information on the device’s electrical characteristics.

AN-000260 4 MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS TABLE 4. GEOMETRIC DIMENSIONS FOR EV_MOD_CH101-01-02 DIMENSION EV_MOD_CH101-01-02 UNIT Acoustic port hole 0.75 Maximum width 8.15 Module height 5.05 The outer dimensions of the EV_MOD_CH101-01-02 assembly are shown in Figure 4-1. The acoustic port hole has a diameter of 0.75 mm and is in the center of the front face.
AN-000260 5 APPLICATIONS OBJECT DETECTION Detecting the presence of objects or people can be optimized via software by setting the sensor’s full-scale range (FSR). The user may set the maximum distance at which the sensor will detect an object. FSR values refer to the one-way distance to a detected object.
AN-000260 Beam Pattern Beam-pattern plots of the EV_MOD_CH101-01-02 with a 45° FoV acoustic housing module are shown in Figure 5-3. This beam- pattern was measured by placing a 1m flat target at a 30 cm distance from the EV_MOD_CH101 module and recording the ToF amplitude as the sensor is rotated 180°.
