Description

The MA40S4R ultrasonic receiver utilizes a piezoelectric ceramic element housed within a funnel-shaped resonator and resin case. This design efficiently concentrates incoming ultrasonic waves from the air onto the active element, converting acoustic energy into an electrical signal. The high sound pressure level is a critical parameter, directly enabling longer detection distances and improved signal-to-noise ratios in applications like ultrasonic ranging.

Engineered for durability, the sensor operates across an industrial temperature range. Its open-type structure is optimized for indoor use where environmental protection from liquids is not required, allowing for maximum acoustic coupling with the air. The device is characterized for drive conditions up to 20Vp-p at 40kHz with a continuous square wave, providing clear specifications for circuit designers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage for the Murata MA40S4R receiver?

The MA40S4R is a passive piezoelectric receiver and does not have a supply voltage. It generates an output signal in response to incoming 40kHz sound waves. The datasheet specifies a maximum drive condition for characterization of 20Vp-p at 40kHz applied as a continuous square wave, but this refers to test conditions for the transmitter it is often paired with, not an input voltage for the receiver itself.

Can this sensor be used outdoors?

The MA40S4R features an open-type structure, which is specifically designed for indoor applications. It is not sealed against moisture or dust. For outdoor or harsh environments, a sealed or waterproof ultrasonic transducer variant from the MA40 series would be more appropriate.

How do I interface this ultrasonic receiver with a microcontroller?

The receiver's output is an analog AC signal corresponding to detected 40kHz sound pressure. Interface requires a signal conditioning circuit: typically, the receiver's output is fed into a high-gain amplifier stage, followed by a band-pass filter centered at 40kHz and a peak detector or comparator circuit to convert the signal into a digital pulse for a microcontroller's input pin. Proper impedance matching using the specified 2550pF capacitance is crucial for optimal sensitivity.

What is the typical pairing for this receiver?

The MA40S4R receiver is designed to be paired with an ultrasonic transmitter operating at the same 40kHz center frequency, such as the Murata MA40S4S transmitter. Using a matched pair from the same series ensures optimal acoustic coupling, sensitivity, and overall system performance for applications like ultrasonic ranging.
