TI reference design TIDA-00322 is an automotive liquid level and fluid identification measurement system. It is based on the dual-channel TDC1000-Q1 ultrasonic AFE and the real-time microcontroller C2000.

An ultrasonic SoC contains Rx and Tx channels to interface with the ultrasonic transducer. The SoC uses time-of-flight to calculate level and is responsible for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves. 

Automotive battery power supply lines are prone to transients while running the system. Typical protections required are overvoltage, overload, reverse polarity, and jump start. During the life of a car, the alternator may be replaced with a non-OEM part. The after-market alternator may have different or no load dump protection, which could lead to damaging the electronic control unit (ECU).

Texas Instruments are giving you the power to electrify hybrid/electric and powertrain systems with the help of engine management, transmission, HEV/EV, powertrain sensors and power steering.
