MB1040 High Performance Sonar Range Finder

Pin 1-BW-*Leave open or hold low for serial output on the TX output. When BW pin is held high the TX output sends a pulse (instead of serial data), suitable for low noise chaining. Pin 2-PW- This pin outputs a pulse width representation of range. The distance can be calculated using the scale factor of 147uS per inch. Pin 3-AN- Outputs analog voltage with a .
