Abstract:
Circuitry for ultrasound devices is described. A multi-level pulser is described, which can support time-domain and spatial apodization. The multi-level pulser may be controlled through a software-defined waveform generator. In response to the execution of a computer code, the waveform generator may access master segments from a memory, and generate a stream of packets directed to pulsing circuits. The stream of packets may be serialized. A plurality of decoding circuits may modulate the streams of packets to obtain spatial apodization.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising generating the series of data packets, encoding the series of data packets, and decoding the series of data packets prior to providing the series of data packets sequentially to the pulsing circuit.
