Currently, the need for portable ultrasound systems is rapidly growing. Higher channel integration, along with small form factor, optimized layout for performance, reduced board size, cost and power consumption are some of the critical challenges faced in this domain while developing a system level design. With past products, TI has a reference design that demonstrates a 128-Ch transmit, 64-Ch receive design. The current reference design uses TX7332 (32 ch, 1.2A drive) as the transmitter and AFE5832LP (32-ch receiver). This application note illustrates the advantages of a next generation design that replaces TX7332 with TX7364 which is TI’s latest 64-Channel, 1A drive transmitter. The application note further highlights the advantages of TX7364 over TX7332 that leads to simpler layout, board size reduction, build cost without compromising on performance.
