The MAX14813 is a very high density, high-voltageultrasound transmitter (pulser) in a wafer-level package(WLP). It is particularly aimed to address ultrasoundimaging applications in which PCB space is a concern.It features eight 3-level channels operating from twoindependent pairs of HV supplies. Each channelcan transmit up to 170VP-P with up to 2.1A currentcapability. The current capability can be programmed downto 0.35A with 4 steps of programmability. It also featuresan integrated 1A active clamp (Return to Zero).The MAX14813 can also be configured as a quad 5-levels(2.1A) pulser plus quad active T/R switches.The MAX14813 features embedded digital resources(SRAM and state machine) that can be used to supporttransmit beamforming resulting in a dramatic saving ofthe number of interconnects and FPGA I/Os. The embeddeddigital resources are programmed through an highspeed serial interface and supports sophisticated transmittechniques likewise pulse width modulation for burstshapingand apodization for beam shaping.Alternatively, the device can be controlled in a conventionalmanner by an external digital source (FPGA or similar)through dedicated CMOS logic inputs.The MAX14813 features independent active T/R switches.The T/R switches can possibly be externally configured tosupport Receive Multiplexing in which a fewer number ofreceive than transmit channels are used.The MAX14813 is packaged into a 6.33mm x 6.65mmWLP, with a 12 x 13 ball grid array.ApplicationsUltrasound Medical ImagingUltrasound Industrial Applications (NDT)
