Theory of Operation
Operating System
The operating system used on the Host and the Signal and Image-Processing
(SIP) motherboards is Microsoft Windows XP Embedded (XP-E). The
embedded XP version allows customization of components and system
behavior. Much of the operating system is hidden from the user, as the
Philips applications use XP-E as a vehicle for implementing system behavior
through custom graphical user interfaces (GUI).
The operating system on the host is primarily used for system interaction
with the user or network and as an application platform for implementing the
iU22 operation and behavior.
The SIP operating system is configured for headless operation (no graphics
subsystem). The primary functions of the SIP operating system include:
Process estimate data to native format data (scan converted but not
scaled to display size)
Process estimate data flow components to sweeping display data and
digital Doppler audio
Process estimate data to M-mode sweeping display data
Implement the Cineloop function for save/recall/review
Ultrasound data (RF) is acquired from each transducer element and beam-
formed (summed) into a coherent data stream. This RF data stream is moved
over the RF bus between the Front-End Controller (FEC) and the Host
resident Dual Signal Conditioning (DSC) PCB.
The DSC processes the RF data to estimate space data, commonly referred to
as R-Theta data. This estimate data (2D, Doppler, and so on.) is sent to the
SIP Motherboard to be further processed into each final display data type
supported by the system (2D, 3D, 4D, Doppler, Audio, M-mode, and so on).
The SIP Motherboard stores these data types locally in the SIP hard drive
sub-system (Cineloop images).

Power Subsystem
Power enters the iU22 system via the AC receptacle, located on the AC Tray.
The AC Tray includes an EMI filter, circuit breaker, OEM isolation
transformer and OEM power relay. AC voltage is also routed to both custom
power supplies (Acquisition and Platform). The Power Subsystem is
controlled by the On/Standby switch, located next to the DVD drive. The
On/Standby switch, in conjunction with the Host Motherboard power control
circuitry generates a PS_ON# signal, which activates the two system power
supplies. The power supplies are interlocked, which controls voltage
application during power up.

The maximum duration of the mobile standby state is 4 hours. If the system
is unplugged for more than 4 hours and left in standby, a battery monitoring
circuit senses the battery discharge state and disconnects the battery from
the Platform Power Supply, preventing battery damage. By disconnecting
the battery, the Platform Power Supply can no longer supply +5STBY to
both motherboards, and the system enters a complete power-down state.
Subsequent iU22 power-up executes a cold boot cycle to obtain imaging
operation. Normally, if the system is still in a sus-pend state, the system will
boot much quicker as it is restoring the previous operating system state
saved in RAM. Typical boot times are greater than 2 minutes for a cold boot
and less than 35 seconds for a resume from standby.

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports on the back of the DVD drive are
powered by the system battery if the system is off (power switch is off and
the breaker is on). The USB ports are powered by power from the
motherboard. The four USB ports on the rear of the AVIO-RIP and the
USB port for the control panel are powered by system power. If system
power is on, the ports are powered. If the system is off or in standby mode,
there is no power to the USB ports.

Power enters the iE33 system via the AC receptacle, located on the
AC Tray. Power is routed through the circuit breaker, is filtered, and is sent
to the +12 VSB power supply. When the +12 VSB is within regulation, the
system awaits a signal from the operator to start system operation.
Pressing the On/Off switch activates a timer that holds the AC relay
closed for about 4 seconds.
Pressing the On/Off switch initiates a PS-ON_n signal at the Unified
Motherboard (UMB). The PS_ON_n signal is routed to the Acquisition
Power Distribution Board (APDB) where it initiates the startup logic
sequence.
The APDB also supplies +5 VSB originating from the +12 VSB on
the Battery Thermal Management (BTM) board to the AC Tray to light the
blue LED. After internal sequencing, the UMB sends a PS_ON_n signal to
the Signal and Power Distribution board (SPD). The SPD sends inhibit
signals to allow the Acquisition and Platform Power Supplies (APS and
PPS) to power-up their DC outputs. The SPD also sends a signal to hold the
AC relay closed after the initial 4-second delay.
After the AC relay is energized, the APS and PPS are turned on by a
signal from the APDB. As each power supply comes up, window
comparators monitor the individual voltages (+48 V, ±15 V, ±5.35 V, and
+3.65 V). If the voltages are within range, each power supply develops a
DC_OK signal.

Power enters the iE33 system via the AC receptacle, located on the

to the +12 VSB power supply. When the +12 VSB is within regulation, the
system awaits a signal from the operator to start system operation. Pressing
the On/Off switch activates a timer that holds the AC relay closed for about
4 seconds.
Once the Acquisition and Platform Power Supplies have charged their
internal high voltage bus, each send an AC_OK signal to the Power System
and Battery Controller (PSBC). The PSBC then sends a pulsed signal to the
UMB. (This pulsed signal replaces the momentary low-pulse signal sent
directly to the mother board from the On/Off switch).
After internal sequencing, the UMB motherboard sends a PS_ON_n
signal to the PSBC. The PSBC sends inhibit signals to allow the Acquisition
and Platform power supplies to power up their DC outputs. The PSBC also
sends a signal to hold the AC relay closed after the initial 4-second delay.
The power supplies then bring all buses up to the proper specifications
and send the DC_OK_OUT signal to the UMB. When the UMB receives
this signal, it initializes and bootup begins. The DC_OK_OUT signal is also
used to set the next On/Off switch closure as a shutdown command.
When the system starts from a standby state, AC power is applied to
the standby power supply in the AC Tray, however, the AC relay has
opened, removing power from the PPS and APS. This places the system in
the initial power-up sequence at the point when the +12 VSB powers up.

PCI Bus
The system platform PCI bus interface on the Host Motherboard provides
access to the AVIO, DSC, IPL, IEP, and the SIP Motherboards. It transfers
signal path data transactions, transducer tables, and other data. It also
transfers RF data from the DSC to the Host, estimate data from the DSC to
the SIP, Native Format and Native Format Cineloop image data (scan-
converted and post-processed) from the SIP to the Host memory, and image
import and export data from the Host.
The PCI bus is a segmented bus, meaning that separate portions of the bus
have different bus speeds.
The Host Motherboard accesses the DVD drive, modem, user interface,
VCR, and other digital video OEMs through several USB buses. The USB
connector on the back of the DVD drive is USB 2.0 standard. All others are
USB 1.0.
Provides a PCI-PCI bridge that connects the Host Motherboard IPL module
to the SIP Motherboard IPL module. Connects each motherboard to a 66-
MHz PCI bus segment.

RF Bus A/B
The RF Bus comprises two identical 28-bit bus structures (only 24 bits are
used). RF data is moved from the FEC to the DSC via this bus. There is no
handshake provided for data transfers.
Front-End Buses
FEP Bus
The FEP Bus is a static address, data, and control structure that provides
access to various resources on the AIM+, Channel Boards, and S/HSEL
modules. This is a 16-bit extension of the FEC local processor bus operating
at 40 MHz.
FEC Bus
The FEC Bus provides real-time access to the Nile ASICs on the Channel
Boards and the AIM+ for control and timing purposes. The bus architecture
is a static address and data with additional control signals for SDRAM
access and control. The clock rate is 40 MHz.

The SUM Bus structure is composed of two identical bus paths of four
segments, daisy-chained between the Channel Boards. Each Channel Board
sums its channels. It then sums its result with the sum of the previous
Channel Board and passes the result to the next Channel Board. Data ends
at the FEC. It can transport RF data at single or double rates. C
W RF Doppler data may be driven onto this bus by the AIM+. Clock rate is
32 or 64 MHz.
TIM Bus
Provides all PRI-PRI real-time control signals as required by the Nile ASIC
and the AIM+ CW Doppler processing module. The control signals include
transmit and receive coarse-delay control, high-voltage rail selection, PRI
reset, and skin-line identification. The clock rate is 32 MHz.
AIM Bus
This bus transports data from the FEC to the AIM+. It has a 5-bit command
bus and a 16-bit data bus. It is time-multiplexed between TGC control, HV
MUX programming data, transducer setup for certain transducers,
microbeamformer scanfile download (for some transducers). The clock rate
is 40 MHz.
Motor Bus
The Motor Bus is the transmission path for multi-phase DC motor control. It
includes four high-current motor drive signals and six encoder channels. This
bus is a subset of the interface to the Motor Controller PCB connector on the
FEC.

Preventative Maintenance
Introduction
System Maintenance
Fan/Air Filters The recommended interval for cleaning the filters is every 6
months, but periodic checks and cleaning should be done more often, if the
system is in a dusty environment. The customer can clean the filters.
NOTE On the power supply filter, the smaller end of the trapezoidal
shape goes toward the front of the system.
1. Check the brake pedal for smooth operation, and confirm that the
mechanism is functional
2. Check the caster swivel-lock pedal for smooth operation, and confirm
that the mechanism is functional.
3. Remove the mud plate enclosure.
Trackball The recommended interval for cleaning the control panel trackball is
every 12 months, but periodic checks and cleaning should be done more often, if
the system is in a dusty environment. Check the control panel trackball for smooth
operation. Clean the trackball and the contacts in the trackball reservoir if needed.
1. Press down on the black rubber portion of the retainer ring with your
thumb and index finger.
2. Turn the retainer ring counterclockwise to loosen the ring.
3. Unscrew the ring and remove it.
4. Remove the trackball from the reservoir.
Articulation
1. Check the monitor articulation mechanism for smooth operation.
2. Check that the monitor does not droop (tilt). Adjust the allen-head
screws at the tilt point.
3. Check that the monitor holds a stable vertical position (buoyancy)
during normal use. Adjust the tension on the jack screw at the
articulation joint.
4. Check the monitor swivel mechanism. Adjust the swivel nut at
the articulation arm swivel point.
1. The video monitor and the touch screen have plastic front surfaces.
The surface is resistant to fluids normally found in clinical
environments, such as ultrasound gel, alcohol, and disinfectants, but
fluids spilled on the screens should be wiped off with a soft cloth to
avoid forming spots on the display surface.
2. The video monitor and touch screen should be cleaned as necessary.
For routine cleaning, use only cleaners specifically designated for
LCD screens. Disinfectants may be used when necessary, but they
are, are not recommended for routine screen cleaning.
3. Clean dust from the monitor and touch screen surfaces with a micro-
fiber or lint-free soft cloth. (Micro-fiber is recommended.)
Note: • To avoid damage to the monitor screen and touch screen, do not
touch them with any sharp object such as pencils or calipers.
• Repeated use of common cleaners such as glass cleaner or
products containing alcohol may damage the monitor and touch-
screen surfaces and should not be used. Use cleaners specifically
designed for cleaning LCDs.
• Do not use paper towels to clean LCD surfaces; they may scratch
the surfaces. Use only a micro-fiber or other lint-free cloth.
Monitor Video Adjustments The Monitor control on the touch screen
allows you to adjust monitor brightness to compensate for changes in
ambient light. Use this control to temporarily change monitor brightness.

Exam display allows you to export images in different formats so they can
be viewed on a personal computer. Single-frame images are exported in
JPEG format, and Cineloop sequences are exported in AVI format. When
images are exported in a compressed format, the system adds a label to
each image to indicate that the image has been compressed. The label
“JPEG” is added to the left of the image number on all images exported
from the current exam. The compression factor for exported images is
selected in the setups.

Troubleshooting Procedure
Power Supplies
The Platform Power Supply requires the ACQ_DC_OK signal from the
Acquisition Power Supply to be 0 volts or less than 2.2 Vdc (logic low)
before it powers up. The Platform Power Supply remains off when
ACQ_DC_OK is between 2.2 Vdc and 6 Vdc. The signal is approximately
4 Vdc if the Acquisition Power Supply is connected and not in a
DC_OK_OUT state. This logic allows the Platform supply to power up with
or without the Acquisition Power Supply connected and yet stay shut down
if the Acquisition supply is connected and faulty.
Once powered up with valid output levels, the platform supply provides a
DC_OK_OUT signal to both motherboards, allowing each motherboard
BIOS to run and configure motherboard hardware.
Either motherboard can energize the supply, but either motherboard can
present an over-current load. A jumper (JP2) on the Power Distribution
Board (Platform Card Cage) during troubleshooting that can force the
PS_ON_n signal active. This is useful if one of the motherboards is
suspected of preventing the Platform Power Supply from powering up.
Any condition causing the power supplies to shut down (over-voltage or
over-current) requires the AC breaker to be turned off (or the power cord
disconnected) for a minimum of 1 minute. That allows capacitors within the
supply to drain, removing the internal fault latch voltage.
Perform the FEC configuration bypass procedure if you suspect that the
system did not boot up because the FEC local processor did not configure the
AVIO-CAD bridge for I2O messaging (no beeps from the Host
Motherboard during the bootup process).
Performing the FEC configuration bypass procedure
1. Power down the system by turning off the main breaker and wait
several seconds.
2. Turn the main breaker back on.
3. Using a nonconductive implement, press the push-button switch
located behind the small hole at the bottom of the AVIO-RIP
faceplate. This activates a hardware latch to disable the I2O
messaging unit and ensures the AVIO-CAD FEC PCI bridge responds
to PCI configuration cycles on the next power up, regardless of the
operational state of the FEC.
NOTE: Each power cycle resets the FEC configuration bypass latch, so the
above sequence must be repeated each time you want a power-up cycle
without FEC I2O messaging.
If the BIOS beep behavior changes, or if the boot sequence goes further,
refer to Use the FEC debug port to determine if the front end is faulty.

The FEC debug port may be used to determine the configuration of the front
end PCBs (including part numbers), the version number of front end ASICs,
and if there are faults in the Acquisition Subsystem. The detectable faults
include power monitor faults and hardware configuration errors. The port
also reports the checksums for the Channel Board flash. The system should
remain off until the proper setup has occurred.

On PCBs that have input and output airflow sensors (Channel Boards and
AIM+), if the difference between the two sensor readings is greater than
25°C (77°F), the temperatures are logged to the SystemMonitorLog every 10
seconds.
The rate of change from the previously logged temperature is also
monitored. If the last logged value is 50, and the rate of change is set at 5, the
temperature is logged in the SystemMonitorLog when the temperature is
45°C (113°F) or 55°C (131°F). The amount of time between logged values
depends only on how long it takes for the temperature to vary by the set
amount. It may be 2 minutes, 2 days, or longer.

Pressing and holding the On/Standby switch for more than 5 seconds,
anytime the system is operating or booting, forces an abnormal shutdown
sequence on the power sub-system and leaves the On/Standby LED in an
indeterminate state (usually ON). To preclude this from happening, use the
On/Standby switch as a momentary control (pressing it for no more than 1 or
2 seconds). If the system does not respond to this input, turn off the AC
breaker on the lower rear of the system for 1 minute and then back on again.
This ensures that the Host and SIP Motherboards are placed in the same
internal power state for proper power sequencing.
Also, wait at least 2 seconds after using the On/Standby switch to turn the
system off before turning it on again. Not doing so may result in the SIP
failing to initialize on bootup.
NOTE This issue is not a problem on systems with B.0 hardware and above.
