System Working Principle
The Probe Interface Board receives transmit excitation signals from the Digital Processing
Board and generates transmit high-voltage pulse through high-voltage drive circuit. The
high-voltage pulse then is sent to the working elements of the probe to generate
ultrasound through the Probe Interface Board. The echo from the ultrasound during
propagation in human body is received by the same group of working elements and
converted into feeble echo electric signals, which will be sent to the Order and
Amplification Board through pre-amplification. There are two probe connectors available
on the Probe Interface Board, to which two probes can be connected at the same time.
The T/R control FPGA on the Digital Processing Board yields transmit excitation signals of
the current transmission based on control signals. This group of signals is then sent to the
Probe Interface Board. The pre-amplified echo signals from the Probe Interface Board is
ordered, and sent to the Digital Processing Board after two-step TGC amplification.
The echo signals are converted into digital signals via ADC by the Digital Processing
Board, and further into digital image signals after a series of processing, including beam
focusing, aperture control, dynamic apodization and beam forming, dynamic filtering,
and sent to the Ultrasound Control Platform through the Digital Processing Board.
The Digital Processing Board on one hand transmits the digital image signals to the
Control Platform, on the other hand receives control information from the Control Platform

and generates corresponding control data to achieve control of the front end.
The Control Platform is the management center of the whole system control, which
receives operation commands from the control panel to manage the whole system control
in accordance with the current system state. The other functions the Control Platform
fulfills also include measurement and calculation, interface display and video processing,
management of patient data and images, control of storage, printing and communication.

The keyboard mainly includes a printed circuit board (PCB) key array. Two key contact
points that are directly formed by exposed copper with gold plating on the printed circuit,
and an LED on each key for backlight. The keyboard button silicon gel membrane covers
on the keyboard. When the key on the silicon gel membrane is pressed, the conductive
silicon under the keys will connect the two contact points on the PCB to complete the key
The Keyboard Interface Board is the primary connection of control knobs, TGC adjust
potentiometers, and the required control circuit for the control panel. The primary task of
the Keyboard Interface Board is to monitor all the actions on the receiving panel, converts
them into established protocols and sends them to the main unit. Meanwhile, it receives
various control signals from the main unit and controls the related circuits on the Keyboard

Interface Board.
The displacement signals directly outputted from the trackball are PS/2 protocol signals,
which will be combined with other signals to XS4 via XS8 plug on the Keyboard Interface
Board. XS4 plug is connected to the FEP board via a 34-core cable, and XS10 plug on the
FEP board is connected to the PS/2 port on the Industrial Control Board via another cable.
There are several control knobs and subsection gain controls on the keyboard. Configure

All the interfaces are connected to the FEP board through XS4 on the Interface Board,
and XS4 also provides the power supply for the keyboard board. The power input is +5V,
and the measuring point is +5V. All kinds of signals are connected to the corresponding
Because the working voltage of FPGA is +3.3V, the voltage converting circuit is configured
to convert the voltage from +5V to +3.3V required by the FPGA. The converting
The control knobs are placed on the keyboard panel. Using encoder OAK-700, 5 pairs of
orthogonal signals outputted from 5 encoders are connected to the FPGA for decoding.
The encoder actions are converted into enumerated data by using the FPGA built-in
decoder as an interface. The enumerated results are read in by the MCU, converted into
established protocols and sent to the main unit via the serial interface.
The subsection gain controls use sliding potentiometers, which are installed on the

interface board directly. The sliding end voltages of the 8 potentiometers are connected to
ADC0809 and converted into digital signals. Then the signals are read in by the MCU and
converted into established protocols and sent to the main unit via the serial interface.
ADC0809 is an 8-bit A/D converter with an 8-channel analog switch, which has a universal
microprocessor interface. The 8-channel analog switch selects any channel of input and
connects to the converter via a 3-bit address decoder. The time needed for each A/D
conversion is about 100us. FPGA generates control signals to control ADC0809 to convert
the voltage input of the 8-channel TGC alternatively and saves the decoded results in the
FPGA temporarily, which will be read in for comparison by the MCU if required.
On the other hand, various control orders are sent as per the established protocols to the
keyboard via the serial port, light control and button sound for example. The light control is
placed on the keyboard panel, with the control signals (high for off, low for on) from the
71st pin of the FPGA sent to the voltage regulation circuit to control the output voltage of
LM1084IS-ADJ, which will be transmitted to the LED on the keyboard panel via XS1 to

The primary functions of the Digital Processing Board (DPB) include transmitting and
receiving controls, A/D conversion, digital beam forming, dynamic filtering, tissue imaging
processing, digital scan conversion, system control, PCI bus interface and also circuit for
voltage transform. The DPB receives multi-channel analog ultrasound echo signals from
the front-end processing module, goes through A/D conversion, and forms a channel of
digital signals through digital beam-forming in combination with control signals from the
Control Interface Module. After signal processing such as dynamic filtering and tissue
imaging, these signals then will be sent to the DSC part and converted into corresponding
display frame shape. Finally, the image will be sent to the Control Interface Module frame

by frame. The Control Interface Module is a bridge between the Computer Module and the
Ultrasound Part. For the computer module at the upper level, it receives all kinds of data
from computer software via PCI bus, decomposes and distributes them to modules and
simultaneously yields control signals per requirements to control working of the whole
Ultrasound Part; for the Ultrasound Part at the lower level, it receives full frame image
signals from the DSC module and sends the image signals to the Computer Module via
PCI bus.
Based on Y_SYNC signals from the system control module and a series of parameters,
the T/R Control Module will configure the states of high voltage switch and folding matrix
switch at the front end according to related parameters when Y_SYNC is at low level.
When Y_SYNC signals turn high from low level, multi-channel transmit pulses are
outputted from FPGA and converted into high-voltage pulse excitation probe via the
high-voltage exciting circuit on the Probe Interface Board, thus to achieve an ultrasound
transmission. The ultrasonic signals reflected from tissues are amplified through the
pre-amplifier on the Probe Interface Board, and transmitted through two-level time gain
compensation amplification circuit on the Amplification Board, and the output echo signals
Having been sent to the Digital Processing Board, the multi-channel analog echo signals
are converted into multi-channel digital signals via A/D conversion, and sent to the

of ultrasound receiving.
linearity. Because the probes used for the system are broad-brand, center frequency of
transmit excitation signals will shift down as ultrasonic pulse transmits deeper. In order to
improve image quality, the near field receives high-frequency echoes only to improve
resolution, while the far field only receives low-frequency echoes to improve S/N ratio. A

The data going through dynamic filtering are sent to the Tissue Imaging Processing
Module, the functions of which are to optimize ultrasound images. The functions, including
enhancement and lateral filtering, significantly improve ultrasound image display quality,
which are conducive to better clinical diagnosis. There is an additional transmit voltage
control signal D/A output on the Dynamic Filter Module. The Dynamic Filter receives 8-bit
control information from the system Control Module and outputs it to the D/A part, sends to
the Power Module to control the transmit voltage outputted from the Power Module.
Meanwhile, Time Gain Compensation curve is sent out from the same module. After D/A
conversion and buffering, it is sent to the Amplification Board to control the corresponding
Having been processed by the Tissue Imaging Processing Module, the ultrasonic signals
are sent to the Digital Scan Conversion Module in the form of scanning lines. The Digital
Scan Conversion Module coverts the image signals in line form to images in the same
geometric shape of the actual ultrasound scanning range (e.g. sector image of the convex
probe, rectangular image of the linear probe), as per the current probe and other control
parameters. At the same time, the image will be processed with interpolation when
The system Control Module receives image signals from the Digital Scan Conversion
Module and buffers them before sending them to the PCI Interface Module frame by frame
at an appropriate time. Meanwhile, the system Control Module receives and processes
the control parameters from the PCI Interface Module and yields the overall control
signals for ultrasound scanning and distributes some of the parameters to the modules
The PCI Interface Module is an important bridge in the whole ultrasound system. It via the

information from the Digital Processing Board and sends them to the computer via the PCI
bus. The most important task of it is to receive image signals from the system Control
Module and send them to the computer via the PCI cable, and to obtain a real-time
ultrasound image in the computer. The ultrasound image will be displayed on the screen
The power supply changeover circuit transforms the inputted +5V voltage on the Power
Module into +3.3V and +2.5V for low-voltage parts like FPGA or SRAM on circuit boards.
Indicators for the major power supplies on the circuit boards are for indicating whether the
voltages are proper or not. If any of the indicators is off, please use a multimeter to
measure the corresponding measured points to verify if the voltage meets the rated
values.

System Working Principle
The Digital Processing Board (DPB) also works as the connection bridge for the whole
system. The Probe Interface Board is connected to the DPB via sockets XS4 and XS5;
The Order and Amplification Board is connected to the DPB via sockets XS2 and XS3; the
Industrial Control Board of the Computer Module is connected to PCI socket on the DPB
via PCI socket XS1; The Keyboard Board is connected to the DPB via a 34-core socket
XS8; the power from the system Power Module is inputted to the DPB via sockets XS11
and XS12 before it is distributed to other ultrasonic circuits. Some of the signals from the
keyboard send keyboard information to the Industrial Control Board via sockets XS9 and

System Working Principle
For the specific sockets, other circuit boards or modules, please refer to Fig. 2-1.
2.2.3.1 General
The Order and Amplification Board consists of the impedance transform circuit 3904, the
order folding matrix switch circuit MT8816 or CD22M3494, the two-step TGC amplification
circuit AD602, the drive and amplitude control circuit AD817 and the control signal
interface circuit SN74LVC245. The diagram for the Order and Amplification Board is
shown below in Fig. 2-8. After the echo signals are sent from the Pre-amplification Circuit
on the Probe Interface Board and before the signals enter the Folding Circuit, the emitter
made up of primary 3904 audion follows the circuit, in order to enhance loading capacity
of the Pre-amplification Circuit output, which also serves for impedance transform.

appearance is shown below in Fig. 2-9. The chip has 44 pins, which is very convenient for
connection. It can be connected with 16 inputs and 8 outputs, or 8 inputs and 16 inputs.
The input and output pins are controlled separately. AX0~3 control pins X0~15, and
AY0~2 control pins Y0~Y7. The DATA pin can be disconnected against access. When
DATA is “0”, the addressed switch is disconnected. When DATA is “1”, the addressed
switch is connected. The RESET signal can reset all the switches. When RESET is high,

System Working Principle
As the central element for each transmission varies with the difference in each line, the
task of order and folding is to link echoes of the Amplification Circuit corresponding to the
current transmitted central elements to the channel center, to link the echoes of the
the edge channel, and the rest may be deduced by analogy. The channels not to be
compounded are linked to pin XX12, which is linked to 0.1uF capacitance to ground.
Finally, the output signals from CD22M3494E-MQ or MT8816 chip are the channel echo
The output signals of the echo signals from the folding circuit are pre-amplified by the

z The gain dB value of each channel is in direct proportion to the control voltage;
z Each channel consists of a precise passive input attenuator and a fixed gain
amplifier (31dB);
Gain (dB)=32Vg+10
Vg (V)=CHI-CLO
If: CHI1=0V~1.35V
CHI2= 0.312V~1.35V
When CLO is about 0.625V, the gain that first-step AD602 acquires is about
–10dB~+31.07dB, and the gain that the second-step AD602 acquires is about
0~+31.07dB. The second control voltage works only if the gain in the first stage runs out.
Including pre-amplification, in theory the maximum gain of the entire channel can reach
82.14dB, and the gain variable range is -10dB~62.14dB. Due to the resistance between

The Probe Interface Board provides connectors between the transducers and the main
unit. Two probe connectors are available on the PIB of CTS-7700. Each connector has a
corresponding high-voltage switch, which is HV232 or like products from Hitachi. Each
PIB has a SIUI912x2 pre-amplification and high-voltage pulse drive thick- film circuit.
There are several power voltages on the PIB:+5, ±12V, high-voltage switch power over
±60V and +HV. +5V voltage is used for logical configuration of high voltage switch, ±
12V for SIUI912x2 T/R circuit, +HV for transmit high voltage, the value of which is variable
between 0V~60V and above. The main unit provide excitation high-voltage pulse to
piezoelectric crystal array of the probe via the high-voltage switch array on the PIB,
pre-amplifies the ultrasound from the probe, and sends it to the Order and Amplification
Board. Another function of the high-voltage switch is selection of the current working

each line transmission. When the corresponding data of this channel is “1”, the input of
this channel is connected to output. When the corresponding data of this channel is “0”,
The maximum clock setup of high-voltage switch is 5MHz, namely 200ns. The
high-voltage switch control data is 4 bits, namely D0~D3. DIN of the first high-voltage
switch in each group is linked to one of these bits. For example: D0 is linked to DIN of the
first high-voltage switch in the first group, D1 to DIN of the first high-voltage switch in the
second group, D2 to DIN of the first high-voltage switch in the third group, and D3 to DIN
of the first high-voltage switch in the fourth group. The parameters are outputted from the
DIN of Pin 16 of the first high-voltage switch in each group, and DOUT of Pin 20 serial
shifted to DIN of the next switch. The rest may be deduced by analogy. All the current
work state setups are completed via 32 shift clocks. What shall be closed are closed,

In the CTS-7700, the yield of transmit drive high-voltage pulse and the echo
pre-amplification are processed in the SIUI912x2 array. A piece of MOS field-effect tube in
each transmit circuit serves as a switch, with one end connected to transmit high voltage
and the drive pulse of which is 0~12V. This tube is ducted as drive pulse comes, and
forms high-voltage pulse, which will connect to probe elements via high-voltage switch.
The ultrasound received is also from the same path. The echo will have about 20dB
amplification in the pre-amplification Circuit SIUI912x2. Then the echo signals are sent to

System Working Principle
The CPU card provides two sets of standard fan sockets [FAN1 (CPU fan), FAN2
(Housing fan)]. Please pay attention to the following 3 points when using the fan sockets:
a) The current for the fan shall be less than 350mA (4.2W, 12V).
b) Ensure that the connection of the fan matches the fan socket. The power wire
(normally in red) is in the middle, and the others are ground wire (normally in black)
and fan rotation speed output pulse signal wire (in other color). Some fans do not
have rotation speed detection, but this wire has an output as high as 12V, which
might damage the CPU card, and this is not a standard connection wire. It is
c) The direction of the fan air current shall be adjusted to exhaust heat from the
cabinet.

3.1.4 Main Function and Potential Failure of Power Supply Module (ATX power
The main function of the power supply module is: to transform AC power input into
different DC powers required by the system. The system consists of computer part and
ultrasound part, both of which have their own special requirements, so the power supply is
also divided into ATX power supply and DC-DC power supply. ATX power supply is for the
computer part, one +12V DC power from ATX power supply is for DC-DC power, and the
DC-DC power is transformed to different voltages required by the ultrasound part and
supplied to it. The main output voltages from DC-DC power are: +5VD, +5VA, -5V, +12V,
If any failure occurs on this PCB, firstly check if voltage of each group is normal. If it is

conversion and processing of control panel signals, data transmission, image display
measurement & calculation function, storage function, etc. The computer module is the
running platform of the whole system, which is why ultrasound systems in this form being
called “PC based ultrasound system”. The generality of computer module enables easy
communication with peripheral devices like memory, monitor, printer, keyboard and
mouse. All these devices can be connected to universal ports on a computer. With control

measurement & calculation, storage and printing, are achieved conveniently. For the
If any failure occurs on this PCB, firstly verify if voltage of each group of power supply is
normal. If it is abnormal, check if the abnormal situation comes from power output or
loading (similar to Section 3.1.4). The following (but not limited to the following) failures
may be found:
b) The system can start up, but it restart and shut off after starting up;
d) The system can start up and enter Windows, but cannot enter ultrasound interface
Due to complexity of the system, certain failures might occur inevitably. Here is an
introduction to some troubleshooting methods and basic consideration, though they may
not cover all the problems. Whenever any failure occurs, it is important to record the
working environment, the working state and the problem of the system with failure. Then
follow the instruction in the manual to deal with the problem. If it does not work, to shoot
the problem as soon as possible, please contact SIUI service team immediately.
Generally, when such failure occurs, firstly check if the external power supply is normal,
the main power switch of the main unit is on, and the fuse in the main unit is normal. If the
power input requirement is AC220V(230V), then the input power voltage shall be AC220V
3-12
Troubleshooting
(230V)±10%; if the power input requirement is AC110V (120V), then the input power
voltage shall be AC110V (120V)±10%. Over high voltage may damage the system
(including fuse breakdown), over low voltage may not be sufficient to start up the system.
If the voltage and the fuse are in normal condition, and power supply main switch is on,
If the indicator is on, inspect if the sound “toot, toot” is heard after system powerup
for a while (the sound indicates that the Computer Main Board has passed
self-check and the system starts up properly). If the sound is heard, then go to the
next step for further inspection. If you cannot hear the sound, the problem may
come from the Computer Main Board (Industrial Control Board), or if you hear
continuous “toot, toot, toot…” sound, the problem may come from the memory
If any abnormal situation occurs, please check if the problem comes from ATX itself
or loading.
When it is not loaded, measure the ATX power supply port. Connect Pin14 PS-ON
to ground short circuit, and switch on the main power. The ATX power supply starts
to work. Test the voltage of each pin on the port, as shown in Table 2-17 and 2-18.
supply.
c) Check if each group of DC-DC output is normal. When doing this, because the
input of DC-DC power is from ATX power supply, it is necessary to ensure ATX
power supply works normally and all the wires are connected properly.
If any abnormal situation occurs, please check if the problem comes from DC-DC
itself or loading.
d) If all the voltages are normal, the failure might be in the Computer Main Board

Because ultrasound front-end has direct relation with ultrasound image quality of the
system, if image quality is lowered, it is probably resulted from ultrasound front-end. The
The main reason that image pixel getting coarse may be degraded performance of
the amplifier on the ultrasound front-end board. When such problem occurs, it may

surface of the probe to do the test. Under normal situation, a moving left-right
symmetric acute triangle will be shown on the screen. If the acute triangle is
complete except that the depth gets shallower, it may be due to lowered transmit
voltage, failure in a certain level of the amplification circuit on the front-end board,
or abnormal transmit pulse (less than normal pulse number). Check if the transmit
voltage is normal (over +60V) or not, so as to determine where the problem is: in
DC-DC board, PBSW Board, RVA Board or FEP Board; if a certain part in the acute
triangle is lost (black strip), the failure may come from some part of the front-end
board, including PBSW Board, RVA Board or FEP Board. In addition, the problem
in the probe is also possible. if there is any part missing in the acute triangle, and
the missing part varies as the acute triangle moves, the problem may be from RVA
Board.

There are many possible reasons that dark strips are found in the ultrasound image.
The main reasons are: failure in PBSW Board, RVA Board, FEP board or the probe.
There are a few situations that dark strips are found in the image: a black strip
appears at a fixed position in the image; several black strips appear repeatedly in
the image.
As the probe is a precision device, improper use might damage the probe.
Therefore, when black strips appear in the image, first of all please check if the
problem is due to probe damage. It is very easy to figure out. Connect another
good probe (It is not necessarily of the same model) to the system to see if there is
any similar problem in the image. If the problem is still there, the failure is from the
system; otherwise it is the probe problem. Please replace the probe. If the problem
high voltage switch of the PBSW board or the pre-amplifier in the front-end system
may result in such failure. Try to replace the PBSW Board first. If the problem still
exists, try to replace the RVA Board. If it does not work, further replace the FEP
Board.
There are many reasons that may cause noises in the image, for example: external
failure. Therefore, when interference is found in the screen, check if there is any
interference generally lead to interference in the whole screen (but not limited to
the ultrasound imaging area). Interference due to front-end system failure usually is
found in the ultrasound imaging area only. Based on this characteristic, we can

If the system failure is due to noise, the failure position can be determined roughly
1) If there is one or more noise(s) in acute triangle shape, usually the problem is in
