Designing a Pulser with HV738
This demoboard data sheet describes how to use the
HV738DB1 to generate the basic high voltage pulse
waveform as an ultrasound transmitting pulser.
The HV738 circuit uses the DC coupling method in all
level translators. There are no external coupling capacitors
needed. The VPP and VNN rail voltages can be changed
rather quickly, compared to a high voltage capacitor gate
coupled driving pulser. This direct coupling topology of the
gate drivers not only saves two high voltage capacitors per
channel, but also makes the PCB layout easier.
The input stage of the HV738 has high-speed level
translators that are able to operate with logic signals of 1.2
to 5.0V and are optimized at 2.5 to 3.3V. In this demoboard,
the control logic signals are connected to a high-speed
ribbon cable connector. The control signal logic-high voltage
should be the same as the VCC voltage of the demoboard,
and the logic-low should be reference to GND.
The HV738DB1 output waveforms can be displayed by using
an oscilloscope probe directly connected to the test point
TX1~4 and GND. The soldering jumper can select whether
or not to connect the on-board equivalent-load, a 330pF,
200V capacitor, parallel with a 2.5kΩ, 1W resistor. Also, a
coaxial cable can be used to connect the user’s transducer
to easily drive and evaluate the HV738 transmitter pulser.
Typical Application Circuit
HV738 ±65V 0.75A
Ultrasound Pulser Demoboard
Introduction
The HV738 is a monolithic four channel, high speed, high
voltage, ultrasound transmitter pulser. This integrated, high
performance circuit is in a single 7x7mm, 48-lead QFN
package.
The HV738 can deliver up to ±0.75A source and sink
current to a capacitive transducer. It is designed for
medical ultrasound imaging and ultrasound material NDT
applications. It can also be used as a high voltage driver
for other piezoelectric or capacitive MEMS transducers, or
for ATE systems and pulse signal generators as a signal
source.
HV738’s circuitry consists of controller logic circuits, level
translators, gate driving buffers and a high current and
high voltage MOSFET output stage. The output stages of
each channel are designed to provide peak output currents
over ±1.1A for pulsing, when MC0 = 1 and MC1 = 1, with
up to ±65V swings. When in mode 1, all the output stages
drop the peak current to ±140mA for low-voltage CW mode
operation to save power. Two oating 8.0VDC power
supplies, referenced to VPP and VNN, supply the P- and N-type
power FET gate drivers. This pulser waveform’s frequency
upper limit is 20MHz depending on the load capacitance.
One HV738 can also be used as four damping circuits to
generate fast return-to-zero waveforms by working with
another HV738 as four pulsing circuits. It also has built-in
under-voltage and over-temperature protection functions.

The PCB Layout Techniques
The large thermal pad at the bottom of the HV738 package
is connected to the VSUB pins to ensure that it always has
the highest potential of the chip, in any condition. VSUB is
the connection of the IC’s substrate. PCB designers need to
pay attention to the connecting traces as the output TXP1~4,
TXN1~4 high-voltage and high-speed traces. In particular,
low capacitance to the ground plane and more trace spacing
need to be applied in this situation.
High-speed PCB trace design practices that are compatible
with about 50 to 100MHz operating speeds are used for the
demoboard PCB layout. The internal circuitry of the HV738
can operate at quite a high frequency, with the primary speed
limitation being load capacitance. Because of this high speed
and the high transient currents that result when driving
capacitive loads, the supply voltage bypass capacitors and
the driver to the FET’s gate-coupling capacitors should be
as close to the pins as possible. The VSS pin pads should
have low inductance feed-through connections that are
connected directly to a solid ground plane. The VDD, VPP, VPF,
VNF and VNN supplies can draw fast transient currents of up
to ±1.5A, so they should be provided with a low-impedance
bypass capacitor at the chip’s pins. A ceramic capacitor of
up to 0.22 to 1.0µF may be used. Minimize the trace length
to the ground plane, and insert a ferrite bead in the power
supply lead to the capacitor to prevent resonance in the
power supply lines. For applications that are sensitive to
jitter and noise and using multiple HV738 ICs, insert another
ferrite bead between VDD and decouple each chip supply
separately.
Pay particular attention to minimizing trace lengths and
using sufcient trace width to reduce inductance. Surface
mount components are highly recommended. Since the
output impedance of HV738’s high voltage power stages are
very low, in some cases it may be desirable to add a small
value resistor in series with the output TXP1~4 and TXN1~4
to obtain better waveform integrity at the load terminals.
This will, of course, reduce the output voltage slew rate at
the terminals of a capacitive load. Be aware of the parasitic
coupling from the outputs to the input signal terminals of
HV738. This feedback may cause oscillations or spurious
waveform shapes on the edges of signal transitions. Since
the input operates with signals down to 1.2V, even small
coupling voltages may cause problems. Use of a solid
ground plane and good power and signal layout practices
will prevent this problem. Also ensure that the circulating
ground return current from a capacitive load cannot react
with common inductance to create noise voltages in the
input logic circuitry.
Testing the Integrated Pulser
This HV738 pulser demoboard should be powered up with
multiple lab DC power supplies with current limiting functions.
The following power supply voltages and current limits have
been used in the testing: VPP = 0 to +65V 5.0mA, VNN = 0 to
-65V 5.0mA, VDD = +8.0V 10mA, (VPP - VPF) = +8.0V 10mA,
(VNF - VNN) = +8.0V 10mA. VCC = +2.5V 5.0mA for HV738 VLL
does not include the user’s logic circuits.
The power-up or down sequences of the voltage supply
ensure that the HV738 chip substrate VSUB is always at the
highest potential of all the voltages supplied to the IC.
The (VPP - VPF) and (VNF - VNN) are the two oating power
supplies. They are only 8.0V, but oating with VPP and VNN.
The oating voltages can be trimmed within the range of
+7.5 to +10V to match the rising and falling time of the output
pulses for the best HD2. Do not exceed the maximum voltage
of +10V. The VPP and VNN are the positive and negative high
voltages. They can be varied from 0 to +/-65V maximum.
Note when the VPP = VNN =0, the VPF and VNF in respect to the
ground voltage is -8.0V and +8.0V.
The on-board dummy load 330pF//2.5kΩ should be
connected to the high voltage pulser output through the
solder jumper when using an oscilloscope’s high impedance
probe to meet the typical loading conditions. To evaluate
different loading conditions, one may change the values of
RC within the current and power limit of the device.
In order to drive piezo transducers with a cable, one should
match the output load impendence properly to avoid cable
and transducer reections. A 70 to 75Ω coaxial cable is
recommended. The coaxial cable end should be soldered
to the TX1~4 and GND directly with very short leads. If a
user’s load is being used, the on board dummy load should
be disconnected by cutting the small shorting copper trace
in between the zero ohm resistors R7, R8, R9 or R10 pads.
They are shorted by factory default.
All the on-board test points are designed to work with the
high impedance probe of the oscilloscope. Some probes
may have limited input voltage. When using the probe
on these high voltage test-points, make sure that VPP/VNN
voltages do not exceed the probe limit. Using the high
impendence oscilloscope probe for the on-board test points,
it is important to have short ground leads to the circuit board
ground plane.
Precautions need to be applied to not overlap the logic-high
time periods of the control signals. Otherwise, permanent
damage to the device may occur when cross-conduction or
shoot-through current exceed the device’s maximum limits.
