General Description
The MD1715DB2 demoboard can drive two transducers as
a ve-level, two channel transmitter for ultrasound and other
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 ve 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.
