Description
The MAX14808/MAX14809 octal three-level/quad fivelevel, high-voltage (HV) pulser devices generate highfrequency HV bipolar pulses (up to Q105V) from lowvoltage control logic inputs for driving piezoelectric transducers in ultrasound systems.
Features
- eight integrated transmit/receive (T/R) switches. The MAX14809 does not have the T/R switch function. The devices feature two modes of operation: an octal three-level pulser mode (with integrated active returnto-zero clamp) or a quad five-level pulser mode. In octal three-level pulser mode, each channel is controlled by two logic inputs (DINN_ /DINP_) and the active return to zero features half the current driving of the pulser 1A (typ). In quad five-level pulser mode, each channel is controlled.
