摘要： The present invention provides a semiconductor device of the SOI-LDMOS type in which the field plate is divided into a plurality of electrically isolated sub-field plates. At least two of the divided sub-field plates are connected to external circuits for reading their respective output voltages. By connecting a first external circuit and a second external circuit having specific components, one is configured for determining an instantaneous output voltage and the other is configured for determining a change in output voltage as a function of time. Power is disconnected from the semiconductor device if either the instantaneous voltage or the derivative of voltage over time exceeds an established value.

摘要： A capacitive ultrasound transducer capable of operation in collapsed mode either with a reduced bias voltage, or with no bias voltage, is provided. The transducer includes a substrate that is contoured so that a middle region of the flexible membrane is collapsed against the substrate in the absence of a bias voltage. A non-collapsible gap may exists between the substrate and peripheral regions of the flexible membrane. The contour of the substrate may be such as to strain the flexible membrane past the point of collapse, or to mechanically interfere with the flexible membrane. The substrate may include a further membrane disposed beneath the flexible membrane, the further membrane being contoured so that the flexible membrane is collapsed against it. The substrate may a support disposed beneath the further membrane to deflect a corresponding portion of the further membrane upward toward the flexible membrane. The support may be a post. The transducer may be operated in collapse mode with an improved efficiency (k2eff) as compared to otherwise similar conventional transducers exhibiting comparably uncontoured substrates. A related medical imaging system is provided, which may include an array of such transducers disposed on a common substrate. A method of operating such a transducer is provided that includes operating the transducer in the collapse mode in the absence of a bias voltage.

摘要： A circuit and method for controlling a switch include a level shifter that controls a dynamic, bi-directional high voltage analog switch. The level shifter generally includes transistors, input terminals, a voltage source, a high negative voltage source, and a diode. The configuration of the level shifter, inter alia, allows the switch to be kept ON without a current/signal, prevents dissipation of transistors of the level shifter, and provides constant gate-to-source voltage on the switch transistors for improved linearity.

摘要： A transducer array of micromachined ultrasonic transducer elements is connected to a microbeamformer. Driver circuits of the microbeamformer have a first output coupled to a first electrode of a respective transducer element and a second output coupled to a second electrode of the respective transducer element. The driver circuits apply first and second time varying voltage signals to the electrodes, with one voltage signal being time inverted relative to the other. The peak-to-peak voltage applied to the transducer element is 1.75 to 2.0 times the peak-to-peak voltage of either the first or the second time varying voltage signal.
