Portable Ultrasound

As ultrasound moves out of the hospital and into the field, maintaining performance while being portable is an increasing challenge. Not only is it important to deliver performance for TX/RX beamforming, but also real time image processing and analytics , all in the lowest possible power to increase battery life. The traditional solutions of using multiple ASSP, ASIC and FPGAs required complex and bulky board layouts that consumed high power, resulting in power battery life. AMD Smarter Solutions integrate fabric acceleration for beamforming and output video encoding and dual core arms analytics all at much lower power.

The Zynq™ 7000 SoC enables highly integrated solutions resulting in lower BOM cost and power consumption. Zynq integrates of RX/TX beamforming, HMI touch screen controls, video analytics and graphical user interfaces; high resolution image processing; high speed connectivity; high performance video interface and storage connectivity; and video codecs to meet the needs of portable ultrasound.

AMD Smarter Solutions include the FPGAs and SoCs in addition to a suite of SmartCORE and LogiCORE™ IP that can be customized to optimally address your unique market requirements. AMD Vivado™ Design Suite with its tightly integrated development tool flow using Vivado High-Level Synthesis, and IP Integrator provide a faster, more flexible means to go to market with greatest differentiation, lower risk and cost of ownership than alternative ASIC and ASSP based solutions.

The architecture demonstrates how AMD SmartCORE™, LogiCORE and Partner Program Member IP can be parameterized and scaled to meet the needs of Portable Ultrasound.
