It incorporates a bootstrapping technique to pass high-voltage pulses and a shunt branch for improved isolation. The differential T/R switch is designed to interface with bimorph electrodes although a singleended version can also interface with conventional PZT/CMUT transducers. Post-layout simulation results show that the switch circuit exhibits 64 Ω on-resistance and -62 dB off-isolation. A figure-of-merit is proposed to compare ultrasound T/R switches. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this differential switch is the first of its kind being reported for PMUT biomedical ultrasound systems. date: 2024-07-02 date_type: published publisher: IEEE official_url: https://doi.org/10.1109/ISCAS58744.2024.10558310 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2301759 doi: 10.1109/ISCAS58744.2024.10558310 isbn_13: 979-8-3503-3099-1 lyricists_name: Zhang, Yaohua lyricists_name: Jiang, Dai lyricists_name: Demosthenous, Andreas lyricists_id: YZHAJ10 lyricists_id: DJIAN68 lyricists_id: ACDEM08 actors_name: Zhang, Yaohua actors_id: YZHAJ10 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public pres_type: paper series: IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS) publication: Proceedings - IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems volume: 2024 place_of_pub: Singapore event_title: 2024 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS) event_dates: 19 May 2024 - 22 May 2024 issn: 2158-1525 book_title: Proceedings of the 2024 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS) citation: Zhang, Y; Jiang, D; Demosthenous, A; (2024) A Differential SPDT T/R Switch for PMUT Biomedical Ultrasound Systems.
