FIGURE 15. Beamformer Output with Example 1A Parameters
Example 1B (Code Excitation with Pulse Width Adjust)
Example 1B is similar to example 1A, except that the Pulse Width Adjust feature is enabled for each Channel. Channels 0 to 7 of
the beamformer is programmed such that each P output fires 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/0 fine phase(s) later than the N output and its pulse
width is smaller than the N output by 2/4/6/8/10/12/14/0 fine delays, individually. All of the control steps are similar to example 1A
except for Step 2.
STEP 2.
Write the delay profile as well as Pulse Width Adjust information to each Channel. Here the Channel to Channel delay is the same
as in example 1A; however, the Pulse Width Adjust feature for all of the channels are enabled. The P outputs and N outputs are
never overlapped. See Figure 16.
CD = Coarse Delay, FD = Fine Delay, ND = No Delay.
