Module 2 System Hardware and Theory
The goal of the System Hardware and Theory Module is to provide
you with a solid grounding on the purpose of the EPIQ 5 & 7 system’s
different components and how they function together within the
system. The three major functional blocks in any ultrasound system
are:
Front End –Includes transducer analog signal processing
functions.
Back End –Includes user interface and system communication
with DICOM systems.
Power Systems –Generates, regulates and supplies the
required voltages to the various parts of the system. Many
power system components are distributed throughout the
system. For example, on the Channel Board which is part of
the front end contains a power regulator providing both AC
and DC voltages needed by the components on the board.
System Front End Components
This section covers system frontend topics for the EPIQ 5 and EPIQ 7.
Front end is a general term for the parts of the ultrasound system
that receive the reflections from acoustic energy that have been
transmitted into the body and perform the various signal processing
functions needed to produce an ultrasound image. The following are
some of the components and functions that are found in a typical
ultrasound system front end:
Transducers –Transmit focused acoustic energy and receive the
resultant reflections.
High voltage switches –Used for multiplexing (connects a
particular transducer element to a particular transmitter/receiver
pair)
High voltage transmitters –Transmit analog data from the
transducers.
You can use this margin
for taking notes.

Time Gain Control Amp (TGC) –A variable gain amplifier (VGA) is
used to compensate for image variations due to tissue depth.
Analog to Digital converter and noise filtering.
Digital Beamformers –Upconverts signals which increases
sample rates. The signals are stored in memory, apodized and
summed.
Beamformed Digital Signal Processing –The digital beamformed
signals received are processed into visual and audio outputs the
process of which depends on if the transducer is B-mode (2D),
Doppler, PWD or CWD.
The three major boards in the Philips EPIQ system’s front end are the
Acquisition Control Board (ACB), along with the Channel Board (CB)
and the Transducer Select Board (TSB).
Front End Block Diagram
The front end manages the input from the transducers, performs
Analog to Digital conversion, Digital to Analog conversion along with
many other signal processing functions.
Acquisition Control Board ACB
The ACB contains two Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA); Xenon
and Argon, that process the signal data from the digital beam-former.

These processing functions include reconstruction of the transmit
beam, quadrature bandpass filtering, frequency compounding, log
detection, sample rate conversion, phase detection, color
packetization and Doppler range gating.
Aquistion Control Board Block Diagram
The FPGAs are clocked at 80MHz which is supplied by the Channel
Board. There is also an on-board 80 MHz backup clock that
automatically takes over in the event the CB clock is not present.
The ACB receives the PCIe clock from the motherboard along with
control panel input/transducer receive data. It uses the PCIe bus to
pass information between the ACB and the motherboard.
The Argon FPGA controls the transmission sequence by sending the
Xmit Start signal to the CB. Argon also provides the master clock of
the I2C bus. The main function of the I2C bus in this system is ambient
temperature management. Ambient temperature is monitored near
all FPGAs, CPUs and the power regulator board. It communicates with
the four other PIC processors that monitor temperature located on
the following boards:

See the Temperature Control section for more information on this
topic.
The ACB also receives 12Vdc via the backplane and supplies 9Vdc to
the CB FPGAs.
Channel Board
The main function of the Channel Board (CB) is to transmit and
receive data from the transducers and perform Analog to Digital
Conversion (ADC) on the data received from the transducers along
with Digital to Analog Conversion (DAC) on signals going to the
transducers.
The 128-Channel Board (CB) transmits transducer data over 8 high
speed serial links to the ACB when it receives the Xmit Start signal
from the ACB.
The CB contains the digital beam-former FPGAs, Neon0 and Neon1,
the analog front end circuitry, 14-bit analog to digital converters on
each channel and high voltage regulation for the transmitters.

voltages from the Power Regulator Board (PRB) to control noise on
the high voltage lines. The voltages resident on the CB for the matrix
transmitters are XHV-, XHV+, XV-5, XV+11, and XV+3.3.
Discrete circuits (amplifiers) generate transmitter voltages up to 160V
(200V peak to peak). The low voltage portion of the transmitter
circuits and the receiver circuitry reside in the Chipper Application
Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC).
The CB provides the 160 MHz system master clock which generates all
system frequencies: 160, 480, 80, & 40MHz.
It also generates the TestRF signal sent to all channels for test
purposes using the I2C bus.
Transducer Select Board
The Transducer Select Board (TSB) switches input and output signals
from the four transducer connectors and one CW probe connector to
the 128-channel CB.
The selection of the transducers is handled by relays to maintain
electrical isolation of the transducers.
The only I2C communication occurs during system boot-up to detect
transducers connected to this board. If a change occurs in the
selected tranducer the transducer-select hardware will interrupt the
ACB.
This board provides a connection to each channel the test RF signal
for Resident Self Test (RST).
The EPIQ7 model has LED lighting at the connectors to enable
transducer connection in low light conditions.

Audio I/O Module
The Audio Input/Output Module (AIO) handles audio functions such
as CW and PW Doppler, microphone, physio beeps and PC generated
beeps. The audio processing such as volume control, filtering, mixing
and scaling occurs on the motherboard which delivers five different
audio streams. The AIO receives these via a USB bus from the
motherboard via the backplane.
