Introduction
The STEVAL-IME015V1 evaluation board is based on the STHV64SW high voltage switch matrix, designed for ultrasound
imaging applications.
The system can switch 64 independent high voltage channels through switch input and output connections on standard
2.54 mm headers, as well as through digital I/O’s. Each channel can be used as a switch for external transmitters or receivers,
or to directly drive transducers for low frequency applications.
A standard ultrasound probe connector can be soldered to the board to help evaluate the performance of the STHV64SW
device in your application.

1.1 Power supply
The STEVAL-IME015V1 board is powered through connector CN10:
• VDDP: 3.3V DC
• VPP: positive high voltage, 0 to +200V DC
• VNN: negative high voltage, 0 to -200V DC
• RGND: bleeding resistor ground
• GND: common ground
Table 1. Power related jumpers
Connector Description
CN12
RGND bleeding resistor ground is available on CN10 connector.
Default Setting.
RGND bleeding resistor ground is shorted at common ground at board level.
Do not connect any voltage on RGND CN10 connector.
1.2 STHV64SW switch block
The STHV64SW switch block is implemented with two power transistors and a bleeding resistor connected
between output OUT and RGND (a dedicated ground for resistors). All power supply nets are in common for each
switch.
