Welcome to the Texas Instruments Semiconductors for Ultrasound product training module. This presentation will provide users with a brief overview of ultrasound system functions, how to optimize trade-offs between portability and image quality with application-specific analog products, how to improve image quality and make systems last longer with embedded processors. The performance of embedded processors will be demonstrated on basic ultrasound processing blocks. There will also be a discussion of how to optimize the power requirements of advanced ultrasound systems. And finally, tools to speed design time and to help the customer with component/processor selection will be reviewed.
