4.1.1 Test Setup

Figure 24 shows the front and back images of the TIDA-010057 board. The EMI shield placed between the AFE and TIDA-010057 board will provide EMI reduction. The 2 connectors dock into the TX + RX board and the USB Type-C connector connects it to the PC or tablet. The TIDA-10057 reference design has been evaluated and characterized by using two boards. The first board is a passive connector board which docks on to the power board. The adapter board has connectors placed around it to connect to load when needed. Figure 25 and Figure 26 shows the top and bottom of the adapter board. Various signals are also taken out to pins as well to connect to MCU for I2C communication, providing clock for synchronization and so on.

The second board used for evaluation is TX+RX AFE board as discussed in Highly Integrated Signal chain Solutions TX7332 and AFE5832LP for Smart Ultrasound Proves application note. The complete system is powered through a Type-C connector with computer on the other side with required softwares installed.
