World’s Most Integrated High-Performance Ultrasound Pulse Controller
STHV748: 5-level, ±90 V, 2 A high-speed pulser with four independent channels
This monolithic, high-voltage, high-speed pulser generator features four independent channels. It is designed for medical ultrasound applications, but can also be used for other piezoelectric, capacitive or MEMS transducers. The device comprises a controller logic interface circuit, level translators, MOSFET gate drivers, noise blocking diodes and high-power P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs as output stage for each channel,clamping-to-ground circuitry, anti-leakage, antimemory effect block, thermal sensor and HV receiver switch (HVR_SW) which guarantees a strong decoupling during transmission phase.Moreover the STHV748 includes self biasing and thermal shutdown blocks .
Each channel can support up to five active output levels with two half bridges. The output stage of each channel is able to provide ±2 A peak output current. In order to reduce power dissipation during continuous wave mode, the peak current is limited to 0.6 A.
