Features• Kit consists of three connected modules• Pulser module (STEVAL-IME014V1):

– 16-channel high voltage outputs– typical load connected on high voltage outputs (100 Ω / 300 pF); can be

easily removed– 16-channel low voltage outputs– no load on low voltage outputs– four preset programs and waveforms– USB interface to change programs and waveforms– button interface to control waveform generation– status LEDs

• Power supply module (STEVAL-IME014V1D):– four high voltage and one low voltage supply lines– all other necessary low voltage supplies generated on-board

• STM32 Nucleo microcontroller module:– STM32 microcontroller

• GUI to configure the kit• Kits can be chained in master/slave mode

DescriptionThe STEVAL-IME014V1B evaluation kit, based on the STHV1600 16-channel highvoltage pulser for ultrasound imaging applications, can be used to evaluate thecharacteristics and functionality of the HV pulser.

Four preset programs are available to test the pulser in typical conditions, and outputwaveforms can be displayed on an oscilloscope by connecting the scope probe tothe relative connectors.

A graphical user interface is available to help you change waveforms andconfigurations easily.
