2.1 Probe Selection Board
By connecting two 156-pin probe sockets to two probes at one time, the
probe selecting board can select one as current operating probe .It can
receive 24-channel high voltage drive signal and sent them to operating
probe element, at the same time it can also sent echo signal form operating
probe to preamplifier board.
2.2 Preamplifier Board (DRV Board)
This board consists of a 24-channel high-voltage transmitting drive signals generating

circuit and a 24-channel preamplifier, which will generate high-voltage transmitting drive
signals and amplify the echo signals sent from the probe select board.
P/N: 4720-0012-01A

2.3 Front-End Board (BFM Board)
To receive echo signals from the preamplifier board, to process for focusing and
aperture control, and to generate receiving beam signals. Processed through dynamic
filtering, TGC (Time Gain Compensation) control, logarithm compression, detection and
edge enhancement, the receiving beam signals become video echo signals and send
them to the DSC board.
Transmitting excitation pulse signals are generated by the front-end board and sent to
the preamplifier board.
2.4 DSC Board
The DSC board is composed of three circuits: DSC (Digital Scan Converter), Main
Controller and Auxiliary Controller.

The DSC completes the conversion from ultrasonic scanning timing sequence to TV and
progressive scanning display timing sequence, achieves ultrasonic image digital
processing such as frame correlation, interpolation and γ correction, and generates
composite video signal I and II.
The main controller receives operation commands from the keyboard and sends
corresponding control information according to the system current state. It also
generates various graphs and character data displayed on the screen and achieves all
the measurement and calculation functions.

The auxiliary controller is for image & data asynchronous communication via RS-232C
port, image storage and recalling.
2.5 Keyboard
There are 62 keys, 1 control knob (overall gain), 7 TGC control knobs and 1 trackball
mounted on the keyboard circuit board, which is the user’s console for selecting imaging
mode, imaging parameters, measurement and calculation functions, inputting
characters and adjusting TGC.
2.6 Monitor Board
To amplify the composite video signals sent from the DSC board and generate signals
that drive line and field scanning, and to generate the voltage required by the normal
operation of CRT electrodes.

3 System Operation Theory
3.1 Operation Theory
The operation principle diagram of the VISION 4000 is as shown in Fig. 1. The system
is chiefly composed of a probe select board, a preamplifier board, a front-end board, a
DSC board, a control panel and a monitor. On the probe switch board there are two
probe connectors (156-pin) for connecting two probes at the same time. There is an
RS232C port on the DSC board, which can be connected to a PC of 486 or above via a
socket on the rear panel. Thus an image displayed on the monitor can be sent to the PC
for display, storage or further processing.
The keys for operation modes on the panel can be set for scan modes (B, B/B, B/M or
M mode) and other operation conditions through the main controller. The main controller
will test whether the probe connected to the system exists, and it will set the parameters
such as scan depth, focus position, the relation between aperture size and depth,
repetition frequency of transmitting ultrasound pulse according to the code of the probe
connected.
Based on the probe code and the parameters from the main controller on the DSC
board (see Fig. 8) such as the transmitting trigger pulse, the transmitting focus position,
the transmitting excitation pulse, focus position and aperture, and scan line number sent
from FPGA2, FPGA1 on the front-end board (see Fig. 4) will determine the specific
element number (23 or 24 elements altogether) for ultrasonic reception and
transmission, and the transmitting pulse timing relation of elements (subject to the
parameters such as transmitting focus position). The transmitting circuit and receiving
pre-amplification will transform the transmitting trigger pulses from FPGA1 to
high-voltage transmitting signals, excite the elements to transmit ultrasound, and amplify
P/N: 4720-0012-01A
6
the echo signals reflected from the imaging target (e.g. human organ tissue) about
20dB.
The pre-amplified 23-channel or 24-channel echo signals go through the receiving focus
and aperture control circuit, compound into beam signals. Going through the main
amplifier for dynamic filtering, TGC control and logarithm compression, the signals will
be detected for its amplitude and preprocessed for its video (edge enhancement, etc.).
The video echo signals detected are sent to the first level A/D converter on the
DSC board, and converted to 8-bit digital signals. The 8-bit data stream acquired from
ultrasound scanning sequence converts to a 2D ultrasound image with line field
scanning that can be displayed on a monitor. It is the task of digital scan converter
(DSC).
On the main channel of DSC signals, the output of A/D converter is processed by frame
correlation and saved to the frame memory. In the meantime, the data read from the
frame memory in line field scanning timing sequence are processed by interpolation
(achieved in FPGA3), and then outputs a pixel signal at a rate of 12.5 MHz in TV line
field scanning sequence. After this signal is transformed (such as γ correction) with the
grayscale signal generated by FPGA3, in the signal composite circuit they synthesize
with characters generated by CPLD1, graph DOT signals (signal of characters and
graphs), composite synchronous signals and composite blanking signal into digital TV
signals and progressive scanning composite video signals. By way of the D/A converter,
they are converted to 1.2V-some analog TV signals and analog progressive scanning
signals, and sent to the rear panel and the progressive scanning monitor.
The digitized signals (after A/D conversion) of ultrasonic scanning can be displayed as a
real-time image on the monitor via the DSC, or stored in the CINE memory. After the
real-time image is frozen, the stored images (64 frames altogether) can be played back
in single frames or frame by frame continuously. The read-write address signals of the
frame memory are generated by FPGA2. CPLD1 generates timing sequence signals
related to TV scanning and progressive scanning. Based on the related signals of TV
scanning, FPGA2 in combination with some matched EPROM and Flash Memory, will
generate read-write addresses and read-write signals of the frame memory, addresses
and read-write signals of CINE memory, and provide timing sequence signals related to
P/N: 4720-0012-01A

ultrasonic scanning for FPGA1.

The digital TV signals outputted by the signal composite circuit can be displayed directly
on the monitor via D/A conversion. In the meantime, they are sent to CPLD2 and stored
in the transmitting image memory under the control of the auxiliary controller. As long as
the RS-232C interface of this system is connected to a PC (with related software), an
image (including characters) saved in the transmitting image memory can be sent to the
PC at its request. Images in the transmitting image memory can also be saved in the
image memory by pressing “STORE” key.
You can freeze a real-time ultrasonic image on the monitor by pressing FREEZE-KEY
on the keyboard panel or the footswitch. Various graphics measurement and edit of
characters on the screen can be operated at this time. The Cineloop can be done in
frozen state.

4 Composition Principle of the System
4.1 General information of the circuit boards
Beam Former (BFM)

The beam former board is as shown in Fig. 3. it receives 24-channel echo signals
(CH1-CH24) from the preamplifier board. Since there is symmetry in the delay inequality
of the 24-channel echo signals, the signals can be incorporated to 12-channel signals
(XX0-XX11) after being processed in the folding circuits (U12, U22 and U23). Through
buffering, focusing (U24~45) and aperture control, the signals are synthesized to radio
frequency receiving beam signals RF. The RF signals are processed by TGC
compensation and dynamic filter, and then compressed in logarithm (U53, U54).
Finally video echo signals DET are formed after detection (U56) and edge enhancement
control (U57) and sent to DSC board. On the beam former board, there is a FPGA1 chip
with 100,000-gate as a core control component of the beam former board. FPGA1 will
start achieving signal control (such as timing signals) based on probe codes, as well as
scan line numbers, focus positions, scan lines from the DSC board. Its major functions
are:
(1) To generate various control signals required by the front-end, such as edge
enhancement control signal ENHCON1-2, dynamic filter control signal FLT1-3;
(2) To generate 24-channel acoustic wave transmit drive signal CHX[24：1] after focus
processing;
(3) To generate control data of high-voltage switch.
The layout of the major components on the beam former board is as shown in Fig. 4.

Probe Board
P/N: 4720-0012-01A

The probe board includes two PCBs that are housed in one shield box. One of the
PCBs has two probe sockets and 48 DPDT relays. Two probes can be connected at the
same time. This PCB is called Probe Board 1 or Probe Select Board (PBCON). The
other PCB is mounted mainly with a transmit pulse drive circuit, a preamplifier and a
high-voltage switch. This PCB is called Probe Board 2 or Preamplifier Board (DRV
board). The block diagram of Probe Board is as shown in Fig. 5. On DRV board, the
transmit pulse signals CHX[24:1] sent by FPGA1 (U20) on BFM board go through
MOS Drive (U1-U12) and form transmit pulse drive signals CHXD[24:1]. This group
of signals are sent to high voltage transmit pulse generating circuit to generate high
voltage transmit pulse signals CX[24:1] with sufficient amplitude. The echo signals
received from the same working element are amplified by 24 preamplifiers (marked as
CH1-CH24) and then sent to the BFM board. The high voltage transmit pulse
generating circuit of the same channel and the preamplifier are installed on a
small circuit board, which is marked as U41-U64 (shown in Fig. 7).
On PR1 board, CX [24:1] are distributed to the current working element by the high
voltage switch. The maximum elements of all the probes are 96. Among the 96
elements (or 80 elements), only 24 elements are effective, i.e. they have high voltage
transmit pulse drive for transmitting acoustic waves. The 96 signals SW1-SW96
outputted by the high voltage switch are switched by 48 lock-mode DPDT relays and
then sent to two 156-pin probe sockets.
The component layout of Probe Board 1 and Probe Board 2 are as shown in Fig. 6 and
Fig.7.

The video echo signals DET sent from the BFM board are converted to 8-bit digital
signals ADC[7:0] by the A/D converter (D3) on the DSC board. ADC[7:0] are sent to
the frame correlation circuit for processing. The digital signal processing functions
including frame correlation calculation are done by a part FPGA3 (D45). Some major
functions that are done by FPGA2 and FPGA3 are: (1) frame correlation calculation; (2)
interpolation calculation; (3) γ correction; (4) generating read/write address for the frame
memory and the cineloop memory; (5) generating sampling pulse signal for variable
sampling frequency in accordance with the coordinate transform requirement; (6)
generating read/write signals and other control signals for frame memory; (7) providing
related time-sequence signals for the front-end circuit; (8) providing data exchange
channels with CPLD2; (9) displaying signal synthesis such as images, grayscale signals,
character and graph signals as well as composite synchronous signals, composite blank
signals.
The echo digital signals processed by frame correlation in FPGA3 are saved in the frame
memory (D42) and then cineloop memory (D37). In cineloop state, data are read from the
cineloop memory and then displayed. In live and freezing state, data are read from the
frame memory directly and displayed. In RECALL state, the displayed image information
is sent from the image memory (D7) via CPLD2 and then reach FPGA3 for display.
The echo digitals are read from the frame memory according to the line field scan display
timing sequence requirement. Then after interpolation calculation, the transform from
ultrasound scanning sequence to line field scan display format sequence will be
completed.
Another important circuit on the DSC board is the controller and the character-graph
generating circuit. The controller is composed of the main controller and the auxiliary
controller. The core part of the main controller is P87C52X2BA(D28), which consists
of P87C52X2BA, the program memory (D32), the data memory (D32) and the relative
circuits (D29，D9，D10，D19，D20，D34, etc.). The main controller mostly serves
for: (1) scanning the keyboard and generating corresponding control commands
according to the operating requirement and the current system state to ensure proper
functioning of the system as per operational requirements; (2) completing the calculation
required by all the calculation and measurement functions; (3) generating character and
graph data for the user interface; (4) managing TGC and overall gain knob, etc.
The auxiliary controller is composed of P87C52X2BA SCM (single chip microcomputer)

D39, CPLD (D27), image memory (D7), the memory for storing and transmitting image
data (D40) and the RS-232C level changeover circuit (D31). It provides an RS-232 port,
and the image storage function. It will transmit the data such as images, characters and
graphs displayed on the screen to the PC via the RS-232C port. In STORE state, the
displayed information such as images will be saved in the image memory.

A circuit consisting of CPLD1 (34) and two static RAMs (D34 and D39) will generate
various time-sequence signals required for line field scan (interlaced and progressive)
on one hand, and generate dot-matrix signals DOT for characters and graphs with the
assistance of the main controller on the other hand.
The digital composite video signals of interlaced and progressive scanning

sent from FPGA3 go through D/A converter (D44 and D12), then are outputted
to the monitor and the rear panel.
Monitor (MON) Board

The SSI-600 is configured with a 10-inch build-in monitor, which is composed of a
main circuit board, a deflection coil, a CRT type display tube and a small circuit board at
the end of the display tube. The power is supplied by the switch power board of the main
unit.
The fundamental principle is the same as that of a common B/W monitor. It main consists
of a video amplification channel (which is for amplifying the video signals from the main
unit to a certain range and adding to the kinescope to display a corresponding image),
the sync separating circuit (whose major function is to separate the inputted video signals
into line synchronous and field synchronous signals. The line and field scan circuits
receive line and field synchronous signals, and generate sawtooth current with a certain
frequency, sufficient amplitude and good linearity. The line and field deflection coils
receive sawtooth wave current from line and field sweep circuit respectively, control the
horizontal and vertical movement directions of the electronic beams in the display tube
and sweep the corresponding grating on the screen. The dynamic focusing circuit is for
improving the focus performance of image scan. The grating amplitude
automatic-correction circuit is for adjusting the grating amplitude change induced by
brightness and contrast change. The high-voltage coil is for generating voltage required
by video amplification circuit and line output circuit, and medium voltage and high voltage
required by display tube operation.

6 Malfunction Analysis
6.1 Common Malfunction Analysis of Front End Subsystem
The front end is composed of three boards: front end board (BFM Board), probe selection
board (PBCON), pre-amplifier board (DRV). The function of the BFM board is to receive
the control signals from the DSC, and to control transmitting and receiving of the system,
to generate transmitting drive pulse, and to incorporate, amplify and detect the echo
signal. Then send detected echo signals to DSC board. The function of PBCON board is
to connect the probes, switch the probe sockets and select the corresponding probe
array based on the command from DSC. The function of the pre-amplifier is to generate
high voltage required for transmitting, and to pre-amplify the echo signals.
The common failures of Front end board are as follows:
To cause power supply protection

The BFM board provides power through socket P1. The power supplies used on this
board are –12V, +12V, +5V. What’s more, the BFM board can transform –12V to
–6V, from +12V to +6V. At the same time, BFM board transmits –12V, +12V, +5V
to PBCON and DRV through XS4.
In addition, the system supplies the high voltage to the PBCON and DRV through P3
(6-hole socket) on DRV. The voltages are +100V, -100V, +80V.
When the power is in protecting situation (the LEDs on the keyboard are not on and the
ventilation fans are off), a diagnosis can be made following the steps below:
a) Turn off the power supply of the main unit and open the body case
b) Pull out P3 (6-pin socket) on the pre-amplification board and turn on the unit
c) If the system power resumes to work after the above steps, it means the probe
connector board or the pre-amplification board has some failures. Since these two
boards are housed in one metal box, dismantle the whole metal box and replace a new
one.
d) If the system still does not work orderly, power off the unit and pull out P2, then power
on again.
e) If the system power still does not work orderly, it means the cause of the failure lies in
other parts; if the power works again, then the cause of the failure may be in the
following parts: BFM, the PBCON board, the DRV board. The following steps can be
taken to further figure out the failure:
1) Turn off the unit
2) Disconnect the connector P3 (96-PIN) on BFM with DRV board.
3) Connect P1 and power on.
f) If the power recovers to work orderly, it means that the failure is caused by the DRV
P/N: 4720-0012-01A
35
board or the PBCON board. Then dismantle the metal board and replace it. If the unit
still cannot work orderly, it means that the power failure is caused by the BFM board.
Power supply is sent via XS2 on the DSC board. There are +12V, -12V and +5V. +5V
is also sent from the board to the keyboard board. It is very likely that current
protection is due to +5V current shortcut, which can be determined by measurement
with a multimeter.
Bad quality of imaging

Because the front end is directly related to quality of ultrasound images, if image quality
is not good, it may be caused by one of the three front-end boards. The bad quality of
images are illustrated as below:
a) Image dots become coarse

The possible cause of dots becoming coarse is the worsening performance of the
amplifier on the BFM board, or the resonance frequency shifts. Therefore, it may be
caused by the BFM board failure.
b) Image depth decreases

The possible causes to make the image depth decreasing are:
A certain level of amplification circuit is inefficient, imaging channels are decreasing, and
transmitting pulses are in disorder. If the image depth decreases, a little metal bar (e.g. a
small screwdriver) can be glided along the probe surface. Under the normal
circumstances, a tower shape bright bar with left-right symmetry will appear on the
screen and shift. If the tower shape is complete, only the display depth is a little smaller
than usual, one that means a certain level of amplification circuit on the BFM board is
damaged, or the transmitting pulses are abnormal (less than the normal quantity).
Therefore, the BFM board should be replaced. If one fixed part of the tower shape is lost,
it means that a certain part from the BFM board is damaged and it needs replacing. If the
tower shape is not complete, and the lost part changes according to the movement of the
tower shape, then it is the DRV or the PBCON board is damaged. At this moment, the
box where these two boards are housed should be taken out and replaced.
Abnormal conditions of imaging

When there is a problem with ultrasound system images, usually it is shown on the image.
The abnormality of images is as follows:
a) There are regular dark strips on the image
There are many reasons that cause the dark strips on the image. The main reasons
are the front end system (including BFM board, PBCON board, DRV board) is
damaged; or the probe itself is defective. There are some symptoms of the dark strips:
a dark strip on a fix position of the image; several dark strips repeatedly appear on the
image.
P/N: 4720-0012-01A
36
Because the probe is a kind of precise equipment, improper use may easily
lead to damage. Therefore, when a dark strip appears on the image, firstly
check the probe to see whether it is damaged. The method is very simple.
Connect another good probe (it can be a different model) to the system, if the
similar failure is still on the image, it means it is the system itself with some
trouble, otherwise the problem comes to the probe. If the system is in trouble,
it may be caused by the front end system. The DRV board of the front end
system and the relays on the PBCON board, the high voltage switch and the
pre-amplifier may cause such trouble. Therefore, the metal box housed with
these two boards should be replaced firstly.
b) Noise on the image
There are many reasons that cause noise on the image, e.g. electromagnetic
interference, power interference and interference from the system itself, etc. When
there is any interference appears on the image, remove the external interference
sources firstly. Only when there is no external interference can a further confirmation of
the system failure be made.
External electromagnetic interference can cause the whole screen (not limited to the
ultrasound imaging area) appears being disturbed. If the failure of the front end system
causes the interference, the interference will only appear on the ultrasound imaging
area. Therefore, whether the interference source is from external electromagnetic
interference can be distinguished.
External power interference may also cause noise on the ultrasound imaging areas. If
the outward power interference is detected, the system ground terminal should be
checked to see whether it is well grounded. In the meantime, keep away from the
power interference source.
If the noise is caused by system failure, the location of the noise can be identified roughly
according to the noise feature.
1) Noise appears in tower shape, and there are one or more tower shapes on the image.
It is usually the failure of the pre-amplifier of the DRV board, or high voltage switch or
relay on the PBCON board. The whole metal box should be replaced.
2) Noise appears irregular, and appears in the whole ultrasound imaging area. The BFM
board usually is damaged, and the board should be replaced.
3) Noise appears in irregular geometry figures, such as dark strips, light lines, black
blocks or bright blocks, etc. probably it is not caused by the front end part. Careful
inspection should be done to check whether the DSC board is damaged.
Besides the above listed failure symptoms, there may be other problems due to the
complicated features of the system. If any failure occurs, it is important to note down the
operating environment, operating status and the failure phenomenon. Then contact a
professional service person as soon as possible to troubleshoot the problem.

for service.
i) Failure: After turning on the unit, the display screen cannot display the characters after
system initialization in full. What shall be cleared cannot be cleared.
Cause: A problem with the main controller bus of the DSC board, which leads to

improper execution of initialization program. The DSC board should be replaced.
6.3 Malfunction Analysis of power
The power applies to SSI-600 is PA8101 with 110V/220V AC input. There are several
output voltages. They are: +5V, +12V, -12V, +100V, -100V, +80V, +12M, +12F.
When inspecting power failure, it should be inspected to see whether there is any
obvious damage or default parts firstly. Then inspect the fuses, the connection of
every group of power cords. The output cords of each group vary from colors.

Measure the output of each group to see if it is within the rating or not. If the output is
abnormal, then disconnect all other circuit. Connect the power board to the relevant load
circuit board. Then to measure the output if it is normal or not. If the output is abnormal, it
means that the power has some failure. Please record the measurement result of each
group of circuit and contact our company for further instruction.

7 Malfunction Analysis of Monitor Board
When the monitor display is abnormal, refer to other chapters of this manual to inspect
the whole unit. As for inspection of video output signals, if possible, connect the video
output of the main unit to an outward monitor to inspect whether the video output signals
are normal or not.
As for the monitor part failure, the diagnosis can be carried out based on the
following aspects (Note: Inspection should be done by technicians, because the
monitor parts contain some high voltage circuit.)
a) Observe the circuit board and other parts to see whether there is any abnormality,
burning, peculiar smell, etc.; and to see whether the down-leads or plugs are shed.
b) Power on and inspect the power input terminal P501, use multimeter to measure if the
input voltage of +12V is normal. If the voltage is abnormal, then pull out the terminal
and measure the terminal voltage without load. If the output still abnormal, it can be
basically judged as the power supply board failure.
c) When the power input and video output signals of the main unit are all normal, it can
be diagnosed primarily as a monitor board failure.
Caution: because hazardous voltages are present inside the monitor, all of
service should be perform by professional technicians.
Some common failures and relevant repair of monitor are illustrated below:
a) No display: adjust the brightness and contrast potentiometers on the front panel to see
if there is any change or if there is a scanning grating. If there is any grating, the
problem may usually lie in the video amplification channel; then observe if the filament
of the display tube is on or not. Furthermore to check if the power supply is normal or
not.
b) If the lines do not display synchronously, try to adjust potentiometer VR201 and VR202.
If they are still not synchronous, it means the circuit has some failure.
c) If the fields do not display synchronously, try to adjust potentiometer VR301. If they are
still not synchronous, it means the circuit has some failure.
d) If the brightness is abnormal, adjust the brightness potentiometer on the front panel, or
adjust the auxiliary brightness potentiometer VR601 on the main circuit board. If it still
has no change, the circuit is damaged.
e) If the contrast is abnormal, adjust the contrast knob on the front panel, or adjust the
auxiliary contrast potentiometer VR601 on the main circuit board. If it still has no
change, the circuit is damaged.
f) If the size of the displayed grating is abnormal, adjust the potentiometer VR303 to
change the image size in vertical direction. Adjust the magnetic core of coil L102, and
the image size in horizontal direction can be changed.
g) If the focusing is not clear, adjust VR104, and see whether there is any change in
image focusing.
If there is any abnormal on brightness, contract, focus, scanning grating, fine adjustment
can be done under the instruction of specialist. After the failure of the circuit board is

confirmed, if possible, repair can be done with reference to the instruction of the circuit
principle and diagrams. Otherwise, the unit should be sent to our company for service.
