Abstract
In this paper a full high-voltage transmitting cir-
cuit aimed for capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers
(CMUTs) used in ultrasound medical applications is designed
and implemented in a 0.35 μm high-voltage CMOS process.
The CMUT is single-ended driven. The design is taped-out
and measurements are performed on the integrated circuit. The
transmitting circuit is reconfigurable externally making it able
to drive a wide variety of CMUTs. The transmitting circuit
can generate several pulse shapes, pulse voltages up to 100 V,
maximum pulse range of 50 V and frequencies up to 5 MHz.
The area occupied by the design is 0.938 mm
2
and the maximum
power consumption is 187.7 mW.
