DESCRIPTION

The TX517 is a fully integrated, dual channel, high

voltage Transmitter. It is specifically designed for

demanding medical Ultrasound applications that

require a Multi-level high-voltage pulse pattern. The

output stages are designed to deliver typically ±2.5A

peak output currents, with 200Vpp swings.

The TX517 is a complete transmitter solution with

low-voltage input logic, level translators, gate drivers

and P-channel and N-Channel MOSFETs for each

channel.

The TX517 also incorporates a CW output stage.

The TX517 is available in a BGA package that is

Lead-Free (RoHS compliant) and Green. It is

specified for operation from 0°C to 85°C.

17 Level Pulser Chip:

The chip consists of two 5-level channels to form a

single 17-level transmitter cell when used in

conjunction with a transformer. It is designed to drive

the transducer not only at various output levels, but also to modulate the width of the output pulses to

obtain the added flexibility of pulse-width-modulation

spectral shaping.
