Getting started with the STEVAL-IME011V2 evaluation board
based on the STHV748S ultrasound pulser
Introduction
The STEVAL-IME011V2 evaluation board is designed around the STHV748S 4-channel 5-level high
voltage pulser, a state-of-the-art device designed for ultrasound imaging applications.
This board facilitates evaluation of the ultrasound pulser IC thanks also a new graphical user interface.
Once configured, the output waveforms can be displayed directly on an oscilloscope by connecting the
probe to the relative BNCs.

Page 9: Figure 5: Solution 1 With Stm32 Direct Memory Access (Dma) Peripheral
UM2163 Hardware layout and configuration Once the information is received, the channel states are converted into 16-bit words for the GPIO peripheral and they are stored in the embedded Flash, with the timing information. After programming, the PC is no longer required, so the board becomes a stand-alone device. -
Page 10: Stored Patterns
Hardware layout and configuration UM2163 • to adapt the timing to the pattern needs, dummy instructions are inserted in the assembly code. To avoid wasting time to load each word from memory, the word is inserted as a literal in the assembly instruction itself, which means that a 32-bit instruction is needed instead of an equivalent 16-bit;... -

Page 20: Operating Supply Conditions
Hardware layout and configuration UM2163 The main issues in this PCB design are the capacitance values necessary to ensure good filtering and the effective decoupling between the low voltage inputs (IN1, IN2, IN3, IN4 and EN for each channel) and the HV switching signals (XDCR, HVOUT, etc.), which is ensured by the implemented layer separation. -
