(author), Verweij, M.D. (author), de Jong, N. (author), Pertijs, M.A.P. (author)In this letter, a compact high-voltage (HV) transmit circuit for dense 2-D transducer arrays used in 3-D ultrasonic imaging systems is presented. Stringent area requirements are addressed by a unipolar pulser with embedded transmit/receive switch. Combined with a capacitive HV level shifter, it forms the ultrasonic HV...journal article 2022

van Willigen, D.M. (author), Kang, E. (author), Janjic, Jovana (author), Noothout, E.C. (author), Chang, Z.Y. (author), Verweij, M.D. (author), de Jong, N. (author), Pertijs, M.A.P. (author)This article presents an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) designed for intra-vascular ultrasound imaging that interfaces 64 piezoelectric transducer elements to an imaging system using a single micro-coaxial cable. Thus, it allows a single-element transducer to be replaced by a transducer array to enable 3-D imaging. The 1.5-mm...journal article 2021
