Reference Designs

Significant technological advancements and high degree of integration in Medical imaging: especially hand-held ultrasound smart probes: are pushing engineers to come up with highly-efficient: noise immune power solutions in a small size. This reference design documents end to end power and data solution for our high performance 128-channel Tx/64-channel Rx ultrasound smart probe solution with TX7332 transmit chip and AFE5832LP receive chip. The power tree includes a single-stage transformer-less HV generation (up to +/- 80V & height 55dB and ultra-compact size (90mm x 45mm x 20mm). All power rails can be synchronized to an external clock using our integrated buffer-divider CDCE949. This design also supports 1S battery input with a normal ultrasound operation of up to 2 hours.
