The MAX14815 is a highly integrated, octal 5-level, high-voltage ultrasound transmitter (pulser).
The pulser generates high-frequency HV bipolar pulses for driving piezoelectric transducers in ultrasound systems from two independent pairs of HV supplies. Each channel can transmit up to 200VPP with up to 2A current capability and features an integrated 2A active clamp (Return to Zero). The current capability can be programmed down to 0.4A. The pulser can be controlled using embedded digital resources (SRAM and state machine) that can be used to support transmit beamforming, resulting in dramatic savings in the number of interconnects and FPGA I/Os. The embedded digital resources are programmed via a high-speed serial interface and support sophisticated transmit techniques like PWM for burst shaping and apodization for beam shaping. Alternatively, the device can be controlled in a conventional manner by an external digital source (FPGA) through dedicated CMOS logic inputs. The MAX14815 also features eight independent low-noise, low-impedance active T/R switches. The T/R switches can be externally configured to support receive multiplexing in which a fewer number of receive channels than transmit channels are used. The MAX14815 is packaged in a 10mm x 10mm TQFN package.Applications
