This reference design is built to power an ultrasonic smart probe with a one cell Li-ion battery. The input voltage is in the range of 3V to 5V since the Li-ion battery output voltage is in range of 2.7V to 4.2V with a general stop discharge under 3.0V. The Li-ion battery is charged by an external USB power supply once the voltage drops below 3.0V. The input voltage is in range of 3V to 5V. The power supply board powers the FPGA, transmitter, receiver, and other supporting circuits located in the main board. Figure 2-3 shows the system block diagram of the power supply board. Voltages of 2.5V, 1.0V, and 1.8V were used for the FPGA power supply. A ±5V and adjustable high-voltage was used for the transmitter. The voltages for the receiver circuit were 1.2V and 1.8V. The system also adds a hot-swap and supporting circuits for a power on and power off system. The BQ25790 was used to charge the Li-ion battery. The INA231 device was used to monitor the power and current of the associated subsystem. The LM3880 was used for the power sequence since the receiver has power on sequence requirements. The CDCE949 was used for synchronous with external system clock.
