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 10):
The method of  claim 5 , wherein the at least one pulser of the plurality of pulsers is configured to provide a bipolar waveform to at least one ultrasonic transducer of the plurality of ultrasonic transducers.
