MAX14813EWX+

Specialized ICS Overview

The MAX14813EWX+ is a high-density, high-voltage ultrasound transmitter (pulser) housed in a 6.33mm x 6.65mm WLP package with a 12x13 ball grid array. It features eight 3-level channels operating from two independent HV supply pairs, delivering up to 170V P-P and 2.1A current capability per channel. The device integrates active T/R switches and embedded digital resources for transmit beamforming, including SRAM and a state machine. It supports direct control via CMOS logic inputs or high-speed serial interfaces.

Specialized ICS Feature Summary

• Eight-channel pulser configurable as octal 3-level or quad 5-level output
• Integrated low-power, low-noise active T/R switches
• Embedded digital resources for transmit beamforming (SRAM and state machine)
• Direct-drive architecture eliminating external floating power supplies

Specialized ICS Applications

• Ultrasound medical imaging systems
• Ultrasound industrial applications such as non-destructive testing (NDT)

Specialized ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EWX+' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm RoHS compliance status and exact packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with the required 156-WLP footprint during procurement planning.

Specialized ICS Selection Notes

Select this component for designs where PCB space is constrained due to its ultra-compact WLP form factor. Evaluate the need for embedded beamforming capabilities versus external FPGA control based on system complexity and synchronization requirements.

Specialized ICS Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX14813 series of ultrasound transmitters. It is designed to replace discrete pulser and switch solutions by integrating multiple functions into a single wafer-level package, simplifying layout and reducing interconnect count in high-channel-count arrays.
