Ultrasound transmit/receive switch — eight channels, 65 MHz bandwidth
The Maxim Integrated MAX4937CTN+ is an 8-channel transmit/receive switch purpose-built for ultrasound imaging front-ends. It handles the high-voltage transmit pulse and then switches to route the low-level echo signal to the receive chain, all within a 65 MHz -3dB bandwidth. The part operates from a single supply as low as 1.62 V up to 5.5 V, or from dual supplies spanning ±2.7 V to ±5.5 V, giving the system designer flexibility to match either the analog front-end rails or the digital controller I/O voltage.
