\section{Introduction}
This document presents a technical analysis of the ultrasonic distance meter circuit which is based on an ATTiny2313 microcontroller, the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, and a boost converter (TPS613222A). The following sections include the test data, graphs, and a detailed write‑up of the circuit’s performance.

\section{Test Data}
The test data was collected under various conditions. Table~\ref{tab:data} summarizes key metrics such as measured distance, sensor response time, and voltage levels.

    };
\addlegendentry{VCC Variation}
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{center}

\section{Technical Analysis}
Based on the collected data and the circuit design, we perform the following analysis:

\subsection{Sensor Response}
The measured time delay \( T \) (in microseconds) is related to the distance \( d \) (in cm) by the equation:
$$
\Large d = \frac{T \times V_{sound}}{2 \times 10^4}
$$
where \( V_{sound} \) (in cm/s) is approximately 34300 cm/s. For example, substituting \(T = 580\,\mu s\) gives:
$$
\Large d = \frac{580 \times 34300}{2 \times 10^4} \approx 99.37 \text{ cm}
$$

\subsection{Power Supply Stability}
The boost converter (TPS613222A) maintains a stable output, as shown by the slight variation in VCC from 5.0V to 5.1V. This minor ripple is within acceptable limits for the ATTiny2313.

\subsection{Overall System Behavior}
The linear relationship between the time delay and the measured distance confirms the expected behavior of the ultrasonic sensor. The circuit design provides reliable operation even with minimal voltage variation.

\section{Conclusion}
The technical analysis demonstrates that the ultrasonic distance meter circuit performs as expected. The sensor output correlates well with the theoretical predictions, and the boost converter ensures stable operation for the microcontroller. Further tests can be added to explore dynamic range and response times under varying environmental conditions.
