Preface RECOMMENDED READING This user’s guide describes how to utilize the HV7351 Ultrasound Tx Beamformer Evaluation Board. Another useful document is listed below. The following Microchip document is available and recommended as a supplemental reference resource. • HV7351 Data Sheet – “8-Channel ±70V 3A Programmable High Voltage Ultrasound Transmit Beamformer”...
The outputs can source and sink more than 3A to achieve fast output rise and fall times. The active discharge is also capable of sourcing and sinking 3A for a fast return to ground. The digital beamforming topology of the HV7351 will significantly reduce the number of I/O logic control lines to the transmitter.
ULTRASOUND TX BEAMFORMER EVALUATION BOARD USER’S GUIDE Chapter 2. Installation and Operation GETTING STARTED The HV7351 Ultrasound Tx Beamformer Evaluation Board is fully assembled and tested. The board requires external voltage sources. 2.1.1 Additional Tools Required for Operation • A DC power supply, a bench supply that can produce 3.3V, 5V, -5V, 12V, -12V, 70V and -70V •...
