4) After work
restore the equipment according to the above mentioned contents of momory if
3) After completion of work, put back the peripheral devices to the original condition.
Precaution for Monitor repairing
1) Subjecting the unit to sirong shocks may result in damage to the CRT or malfunction, therefore
care must be taken when transporting or installing the unit
@ DANGER @ High voltages are present inside the display chassis. Only experienced
Av technicians should touch internal parts.
@ DANGER @ — Theclectric charge has remained in CRT after the power switeh is tumed
off, Because the high voltage is usually used for CRT. So make the
AN clectric charge escape with a grounding stick which is connected to the
around ofthe chassis and through the resistance for high voltage (Approx.
1MQ) before removing the anode cap,
Some electric charge remain in CRT after escaping with a grounding
stick Do not touch the metallic part of the anode eap with bare hands
‘when detaching the anode cap directly
2) CRT with the deflecting yoke is already adjusted to the best condition. Do not touch the
deflecting voke and the magnet of the neck part.
3) Be sure to detach the metallic goods such as a wrist watch from your body before doing the
repair work.
To prevent the secondary damage and the electrical shock, the matters above should be taken into
careful considerationwv2-0220 Rev. 2
SECTION 2 PRECAUTIONS

Handling of S.M.D. PCBs
Iis an Aloka's policy that neither repair nor upgrade (improvement) of PCBs used for $.M.D. is
‘made in the field as a rule because of the following reasons:
[REMARKS] PCB does not need repairing or modifying in the field as a rule
‘When handling a PCB, do not ouch he JC unless is necessary.
IC soled with worker's hands may cause corrosion, Additionally, foreign patles suchas fine
solder dust could be the cause of short-circuited IC lead wires whose pitch is smaller dhan that of
the traitional ones
T@CAUTION® When handling # PCB, avoid touching the IC and connector i
' pins on the devices to prevent BSD Electro Static Discharge) 4
' damage 1
1 A service person should preferably wear an ESD wrist strap |
' correctly grounded when handling a PCB. _
Donot give excessively lar
‘When replacing the ROM (Read Only Memory) on the PCB, attempting to force the ROM into
its socket would cause the PCB to be subjected to an undue force, and the following faults may
1) Damage to PCB intermediate-layer patterns,
2) Peeling of chip devices (resistor, capacitor, diode, etc.)
3) Damage to a junction between electrode and internal element of chip devices,
4) Peeling of pattems (especially those for mounting the parts) together with chip devices since
those patterns are rather fragile compared with PCBs used before no
3) Damage to parts on the reverse side in the case of PCBs of both-side mounting type.
rand
Also, a PCB mounted improperly or a warped PCB mounted as its may cause the chip devices to
came off and the fine pattrns to be cut
additionally, reuse of chip devices (including resistors, capacitors, diodes. cc. is strictly
inhibited because of the following reason: Since the chip devices are lacking in lead wires, such
as those found inthe traditional component parts, heat given to the PCB willbe directly conducted
to the inside of chip devices. As a result, a thermal stress will ccur due toa difference in thermal
‘expansion coefficient between each chip device and PCB, giving rise ofthe possibility of cracks
inside of or on the surface of chip devices or the possibilty of thermal breaking (internal burning).
‘Very thn wiring pattems require extreme-care in handing ofthe PCB
Be sure to observe the precautions mentioned above also to prevent the secondary accidents.31

TXIRX Unit
‘The T>Rx unit provides functions to generate transmission pulses, conduct analog
processing of received echoes, and transfer ultrasound image data to the DIU
‘The transmission pulses are converted to high-voltage in the driver circuit that drives the
oscillator and are then supplied to the selected probe,
The transmission voltage is detected by the transmission power supply voltage monitoring
circuit on the TX/PRE AMP board and this data is sent to the system control unit. The
system control unit immediately stops transmission if it receives abnormal transmission power
supply data
The electronic scanning probe has a maximum of 120 Tx/Rec lines, allowing it to
simultancously drive upto 32 transducers. Up to 32 of the 120 T/Rx lines can be selected
by the selector circuit, which comprises 16 HVSs (8-channct High Voltage Analog Switches)
The received echoes are received by the transducers that transmitted and are amplified in
the pre-amp circuit, The received echoes ae analog processed afler received dynamic
focussing, then A/D converted and transferred to the DIU.
With an electronic probe, phase compensation is conducted inthe matrix switch and delay
line because the phases ofthe echoes received by the multiple transducers are displaced from
cach other.

44-3 DIU Unit
‘The DIU uses a high-speed X-Y system,
The ultrasound image data received from the T3/RX unit as digital signal is sent
for pre-processing, Pre-processing involves input selection of the ultrasound image data sent
from the Ts/Rx unit and optional Doppler unit, addition of M, D-mode physiological signals
(the physiological signal unit is optional), frame correlation, and storing in frame memory
Post-processing involves the interpolation and correlation of the B-mode image in the TV
horizontal sean direction, addition of gray-scale bar, characters, eraphics and B-mode
physiological signals, and output to the D/A conversion circuit. In addition, the DIU unit
supplies the ultrasound image data for ABC (Auto B-Gain Control)

The Doppler unit comprises DOP ASP (Analog Signal Processor), DOP DSP (Digital Signal
Processor), and AUDIO V/O units
Transmission in PW mode is made by TX/PRE AMP when an electronic scanning probe is
used or by MAIN AMP when a mechanical scanner probe is used. Transmission in CW mode
is made by CW CONNCETOR board. The CW mode is available only when an
independent or mechanical scanner probe is usod (restrictions apply according to the probe
used),
The transmission voltage monitoring cireuit forthe CW mode is mounted on the MECH.

SECTION 4 Principle of System Operation
‘When the PW mode is selected at the mechanical scanner, the Doppler received signal
passes through the PRE AMP circuit on MECH PROBE SELECTOR and is output to RX
FOCUS. The MECH PROBE SELECTOR board switches between the Doppler signal
from the electronic scanning probe and the Doppler signal from the mechanical scanner probe
and sends the signal to DOP ASP.
‘When the CW mode is selected at the mechanical scanner, the Doppler reccived signal
passes through MECH PROBE SELECTOR and IND PROBE CONNECTOR, and is
amplified by the PRE AMP circuit on CW CONNECTOR before being sent to DOP ASP.
DOP ASP conducts Quairature detection on the received signal, then converts it to base=
band frequency and filters it before A/D conversion, DOP DSP conducts frequency
analysis on the signal using FFT (Fast Fourier Transformation) and sends it to DIU,

This board generates the control signals for the GEU unit, generates the memory write control
signals for the DIU unit, and opens the bus between the CPU BUS and the GEU BUS and
PANEL BUS,
1) CPUBUS WINDOW
Controls opening between the CPU BUS and the GEU BUS and PANEL BUS.
2) PROBE CONNECTOR DETECTOR
Detects whether a probe is connected and outputs this data to the CPU BUS. The 5-bit
data has 2 bits for linear/convex probes, 2 bits for mechanical scanner probes, and 1 bit
for the independent probe. The corresponding data bit becomes LOW when a probe is
connected.
3) FRAME RATE CALCULATOR
‘The frame interval is counted from tho 100 1 sec clock signal by a 16-bit counter and the
result is output to the CPU BUS. When the count is complete, the IRQY signal is output
to apply an interrupt to the CPU. The CPU calculates the frame rate from the counted
data.
4) HEART RATE CALUCULATOR
Each time the optional physiological signal unit inputs the RY signal, the IROY signal is
output to apply an interrupt to the CPU, ‘The CPU calculates the heart rate from the
data,

SECTION 4 Principle of System Operation
4-5-6, DIU
‘The DIU (Digital Imaging Unit) fetches ultrasound wave digital data coming from the
GEU in synchronized with the DIU clock, writing ultrasound wave data to the display memory
in XY writing method, then reading out the ultrasound wave data in synchronized with the TV
signal. After this, gradation conversion of display data, addition of gray scale bar and other
post processing are executed by this block.
In the writing system, ultrasound wave scanning data are thought of as scanning line
vectors, and from the starting point indicated by the vector (XO, YO) and the time it takes to
pass the boundary (X), (Y), one scanning line can freely be written to main memory.
Also, through the dynamic focus area signal (DFAREA), multi-level dynamic focused
ultrasound wave data ean be written to memory.
‘The boundary passing signal (INCX, INCY) is detected by the XY Boundary Calculator
from the boundary passing time (X), (Y) in I pixel units. If the boundary passing signal is
detected, data are written to the line buffer the following system is used to determine if the
signal is INCX or INCY by the scanning address and register setting.
(a) XY Sampling Writing System (X and Y System)
In this system, writing to the line buffer is done each time either INCX or INCY is
generated. This system is used forall scanning lines.
(b) X Sampling, Y Sampling Writing System (X or Y System)
In this write system, the line buffer write area (X system) is set when INCX is
‘generated and the line buffer write area (Y system) is set when INCY is generated.
Data are written to the area specified in the X system cach time INCX is generated,
while writing is not performed when INCY is generated. INCY information is held until
INCX js generated, thon writing of both is done simultancously. For this reason, the
number of times INCY is generated must be fewer than the times INCX is generated.
‘Accordingly, the area which can be specified in the X system is limited to 45° or more left
and right. In the same way, the area which can be specified in the Y system is limited to
45° or less left and right.
Also, the area setting is stored in XO and YO (16-bit) in the parameter table.
‘The boundary pass signal (INCX, INCY) is written to the line buffer simultaneously
withthe ultrasound wave data, and is used to increment the main memory write address.
ABC (Auto B-gain Control)
This block generates “B_GAIN’ signal, which controls the gain for B-mode, referring
ultrasound brightness data in the image memory and the Gain Level setting by operation
panel. Then B_GAIN signal is sent to MAIN AMP board, and controls the gain of reciving
signal. In case ABC off, B_GAIN becomes the signal referring B GAIN knob setting.
PRE PROCESS
This block is a circuit that executes various types of processing of ultrasound image
data sent and received at the GEU for writing to MEMORY.
Line Correlation
Applies line correlation for black and white B image data.1ne-0220
SECTION 4 Principle of System Operation
Test Pattern Generation
Generates the various types of test pattern.
US Erase
Erase a part of or all the ultrasound image data.
Erased image data are written to image memory as "0" or "I" level
‘This function differs from echo erase, memory erase and erase in the point of
synchronization with writing of ultrasound image data,
M SMOOTH
In order to reduce the scatter from interlacing, an arithmetic mean of 2 pixels in the
depth direction of ultrasound M and D image data is taken, Furthermore, this
function goes OFF automatically in the case of ultrasound B image data
Echo Erase
In order to make physiological signals easy to see, the bottom portion of ultrasound M
image data is erased. The crased portion of ultrasound image data is written to image
memory as "0" level. This differs from USERASE and ERASE in the point that itis
executed when ultrasound image data are stored in image memory
Memory Erase
In order not to display unnecessary data when changing modes, etc,
all of the image memory is erased. The erased portion of ultrasound image data is
written to image memory as "0" level
Except in the point that Erase is executed in screen units, which image memory is
configured into this function is the same as Echo Erase,
t a portion or
Black and White Frame Correlation
Correlation between two frames is executed in order to reduce noise.
CPU Access:
‘When making a histogram, etc. of ultrasound image data, the CPU can access image
memory. Access by the CPU is limited to times when the ultrasound image is frozen.
4-43wno-0220
SECTION 4 Principle of System Operation
MEMORY
This block is capable of storing cnough ultrasound image data for two screens after they
have been processed by the pre process block.
Scanning conversion in the DIU is executed during writing to or reading from this block.
Main memory is used as M and D image display memory during real operation and as
frame memory for frame correlation. During B image display and when the image is
frozen, CINE memory is used as display memory.
Memory Configuration
2 X 2 pixels is the smallest configuration element and 2 sereens of $12 x $12
pixel 8 bit ultrasound image data are stored,
Black and White Main Memory
bits 0-5: Black and White Image Data
bit 6 Organism signal for M and D
bit 7 Syne. Mark for M and D organisms,
Write/Read Speed
Writing to or reading from RAM is carried out by RMW at 320 nsee/l pixel.
However, by shifting the access eycle one half period, apparently, RMW is done at
160 nsec/1 pixel. On the other hand, reading from the SAM block is by serial Read
at 160 nsee/l pixel. By doing 2 pixels simultaneously, apparently, serial read can be
done at 80 nsec! pixel
Erase
Using the Dual-port RAM flash vite function, the image memory can be erased.
Erasing is executed by flash write at 160 nsec/l Row, but when 4 chips are working
simultaneously, erasing can be done at high speed, with one 512 512 pixel screen
erased in approx. 45 psec. Furthermore, since it is not dependent on ultrasound
image data write operations, it differs from USERASE, ECHO ERASE and Memory
Erase
POST PROCESS
This block carries out various types of processing of ultrasound image data read from
image memory.
H Interpolation
Spaces between lines of ultrasound B image data are interpolated in the TV H
direction. The area which can be intcrpolated is from 1~11 pixels, and selection of
the numberof pixels to be interpolated is set by the rezister.
Ordinarily, the lina interpolation method is used. For black and white and
