MD1715+TC8020 Demoboard
High Speed ±100V 3.2A Pulser
Features
General Description
Applications
The demoboard consists of one MD1715 in a 6x6mm 40-lead
QFN package driving 12 high voltage FETs in six TC8020s in
one 8x8mm 56-lead QFN package. The CPLD programmable
logic circuit 40MHz crystal oscillator generates accurate
timing high-speed waveforms on a separate CPL board. There
are multiple frequencie and waveform combinations that
can be selected as bipolar pulse waveforms. External clock
input can be used if the on board oscillator is disabled. The
external trigger input can be used to synchronize the output
waveforms. There are five push buttons for selecting the
demo waveform, frequency, phase, mode selection functions.
Color LEDs indicate the demo selection states. Jumpers on
board for select the SMA connector to the external loads or
the 220pF//1k on board dummy load.

LED Descriptions
LED
Description
PWR
Indicates the CPLD board VCC power is connected, LED on = Power on
ENA
Indicates the MD1715 VLL/EN input is High/Low, LED on = CHA or CHB or both ON
INV
Indicates the inverting or non-inverting mode
CHA
Indicates channel-A on/off
CHB
Indicates channel-B on/off
JTAG or Boundary Scan Mode
JTAG or Boundary Scan mode is an industry standard (IEEE
1149.1, or 1532) serial programming mode. External logic
from a cable, microprocessor, or other device is used to
drive the JTAG specific pins: Test Data Out (TDO), Test Data
Doc.# DSDB-MD1715DB2

In (TDI), Test Mode Select (TMS), and Test Clock (TCK).
This mode has gained popularity due to its standardization
and ability to program CPLD through the same four JTAG
pins. The data in this mode is loaded at one bit per TCK.

Testing MD1715DB2 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 TC8020’s
output impedance is about 8.0Ω.
It is important to have the protective Schottky diodes on the
MD1715 and the TC8020 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 MD1715 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 MD1715 is allowed to poweron 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 MD1715. It is usually 1.8, 2.5 or 3.3V
DC.
