MD1711 + TC6320 Demoboard
Five-Level, Dual Channel ±100V 2.0A RTZ Pulser
Features
General Description
►► Five-level, dual-channel ultrasound transmitter
►► MD1711 driving six TC6320 HV MOSFETs
►► Design for RTZ waveforms outputs
►► Low second harmonic distortion
►► Dual 0 to +/-100V peak to peak voltage supply
►► ±2.0 A source and sink current capability
►► SMA connectors for external clock and signals
►► 1.8 to 3.3V CMOS logic interface
The MD1711DB2 demoboard is as a five-level, dual-channel,
+/-100V, 2.0A, return-to-zero pulser. It can directly drive two
50 or 75Ω impedance transducers for 1.0MHz to 20MHz
medical ultrasound imaging or NDT applications.
The MD1711DB2 consists of one MD1711 in a 48-Lead LQFP
package driving six TC6320 complementary high voltage
MOSFET pairs in 8-Lead SOIC packages. The external logic
signal connector, J13, connects all the input control signals of
the MD1711 to the user’s logic control source via a short ribbon
cable. In typical two-, three- or five-level bipolar pulsing, PW or
CW waveforms can be generated by the proper input control
signal listed below. Jumpers are provided for the output, such
that it can drive either the on-board RC load 220pF capacitor
in parallel with a 1.0KΩ resistor or with an external load of
cable to the user’s ultrasound testing transducer.

Testing MD1711DB2 Ultrasound Pulser
Power supply voltages and current limit settings to start the
power-up sequence are listed above. Power-down is the reverse of the power-up sequence.
Use a high-impendence oscilloscope probe for all on-board
test points. There are two 5:1 voltage attenuators on-board
(R6 and R16 are 200Ω) that are designed to connect the
high voltage output J3 and J9 SMA connectors via a 50Ω
coaxial cable to the oscilloscope (50Ω input) directly. If one
needs to connect the J3 or J9 SMA connectors to a testing
transducer with a coaxial cable of 50/75Ω, in order to prevent circuit damage due to long cable line reflection, a proper in-series resistor of 40 to 67Ω revise-termination should
be considered on R6 or R16, with the impedance matching
the cable and transducer load impedances. The TC6320’s
output impedance is about 8.0Ω.
It is important to have the protective Schottky diodes on the
MD1711 and the TC6320 pulser circuit PCB on each voltage-rail, just like this demoboard. Only one set of diodes
is required per board if multiple pulser channels are on the
same PCB. The IC substrate of the MD1711 is internally connected to the AVSS pin. While powering up a multi-voltage
rail CMOS chip, one must usually turn one of the substrate
bias voltages first, in order to prevent CMOS latch-up. However, with the Schottky diodes on-board, specifically the D9,
D12 and D15 diodes, the MD1711 is allowed to power-on the
VCC +3.3V first, to establish the CPU and FPGA, etc. and
get the digital circuit working first, then power-on the AVSS/
DVSS, AVDD/DVDD and VPP/VNN, etc., with the inactive
input logic known-state.
If an external cable load is used, disconnect the on-board
load (220pF // 1.0KΩ) by removing both jumpers on J2 or J8
(1-3) & (2-4), then place one jumper at J2 or J8 (1-2) position. Any overloaded outputs, including shorter pulse duty
cycles, longer pulse durations or higher CW voltages (>12V)
could damage the IC or MOSFETs.
Use a ribbon cable to connect the input logic signal connector, J13. Ground pins 3, 5-23 of J13 on the digital logic
DGND of the signal generator side. Logic supply voltage VCC
must equal the VLL of MD1711. It is usually 1.8, 2.5 or 3.3V
DC.
