Medical Ultrasound Switches and Pulsers

Designers of compact ultrasound systems must fit the large number of ultrasound transceivers required to produce a high quality image into the available small space. Current state-of-the-art systems commonly possess 128 or more of these transceivers, challenging designers to find high density, low power solutions. Analog Devices’ family of medical ultrasound switches and pulsers simplifies the design of these systems by integrating multiple high performance transmit/receive (Tx/Rx) in a single compact package. These switches are used to connect the system’s low noise amplifier (LNA) to the ultrasound transducer and protect the LNA input from the high voltage transmit signal.
