16-channel five-level transmitter

TX7516 is a highly integrated, high-performance

transmitter solution for ultrasound imaging system. The device has total 16 pulser circuits,

16 transmit/receive switches (referred as T/R or TR switches), and supports on-chip

beamformer (TxBF). The device also integrates on-chip floating power supplies that reduce

the number of required high voltage power supplies.

TX7516 has a pulser

circuit that generates five-level high voltage pulses (up to ±100 V) that is used to excite

multiple channels of an ultrasound transducer. The device supports total 16 outputs. The

maximum output current is 2 A.

Device can be used as a transmitter solution for many applications like ultrasound imaging,

non-destructive testing, SONAR, LIDAR, marine navigation system, brain imaging systems and

so on.
