Theory of Operation: BPAP Board

BPAP Board

The beam processor/acoustic processor (BPAP) board contains two processors. One of them controls beam-forming, line-to-line operation. The other handles the processing of scan conversion, color flow, and Doppler signals.

The BPAP board does the following:

Provides the interface between the PC and the TR boards

Provides the interface between the PC and the demodulator board

Receives control data sets from the PC, processes them for specific register values, and sends them to the TR boards

Houses the transesophageal echo cardiography (TEE) transducer interface circuitry (TEE motor control and temperature monitoring)

Houses the transducer ID circuitry

Detects the presence of standalone transducers

Houses electronic switching that allows selection of a single active transducer from the four that can be connected

Controls the high-voltage output from the system power supply

Omni TEE Circuitry

The Omni Probe control circuitry on the BPAP board supplies power to the TEE transducer's motor. It also measures the position of the angle-position sensor. The signal is digitized and sent to the APIO board for monitoring by the PC.

The beam processor circuitry monitors thermistors in the transducer and insures that high voltage is not applied to the transmitter unless the thermistor values are within limits.
