Beschreibung

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 <5mm) for transmit and the point-of-load LV for the AFEs & FPGA from a 5V USB Type-C™ input. This design enables low-noise (<10mV ripple) efficient rails and better thermal performance (< 10°C temp rise) achieving system efficiency ~80%, receive data SNR > 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.
