2.2 Design Considerations

The power design for a handheld ultrasound equipment is complex and comes with a lot of system-level challenges. All these challenges come primarily due to the small size of the complete design. Achieving high efficiency in low-power rails with a fixed synchronize frequency operation is the key concern since losses in the form of heat increase the temperature of the board. Typically, there are no cooling mechanisms employed in the end equipment due to the compact portable nature. The following sections provide the key design considerations in the smart-probe power design.
