Abstract

The invention discloses a front end device of a portable ultrasound system, which comprises an integrated analog front end, an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) controller, a transmitting drive circuit, an array element gating circuit and a transducer, wherein the transmitting drive circuit is used for receiving time sequence control signals of the FPGA controller and transmitting transmission signals to the transducer via the array element gating circuit, the transmitting drive circuit comprises a transmitted waveform generating circuit and a transmitting drive module, and the transmitted waveform generating circuit receives the time sequence control signals of the FPGA controller and transmits the signals to the transmitting drive module. The device adopts the transmitting drive module to avoid the charge/discharge circuit of an capacitor from passing a field effect pipe, so as to play a certain role of protecting the field effect pipe; the circuit of a TGC part is realized via the integrated analog front end, therefore, the volume of the system is greatly reduced, and portable equipment is easy to manufacture; the device has a power saving mode, thereby being low in power consumption.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic imaging, in particular to a front-end device of a portable ultrasonic system. Background technique [0002] The front-end device of an existing ultrasonic imaging system includes two parts: a transmitting part for emitting high-voltage pulses to excite a transducer to generate ultrasonic waves and a receiving part for receiving ultrasonic echo signals. Such as figure 1 As shown, Q is a switch tube, generally a MOS tube is used, and the on-off of Q is controlled by a control signal. When Q is turned on, a negative high-voltage pulse will be generated at point B, and this pulse will be loaded on both ends of the transducer to excite the probe to form ultrasonic waves. In the above circuit, the capacitor C is charged and then discharged, and the discharge circuit directly passes through Q, which has a great impact on the working efficiency and service life of the switching device. [0003] The ...
