Title:
SWITCH CIRCUIT, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/059600
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A spike voltage occurring during on/off switching in a switch setting period can be reduced in a switch circuit where an analog switch is connected to each of intersections of signal lines arranged in vertical and horizontal directions and where a multiple of switches are periodically turned on and off, in accordance with a predetermined schedule, to distribute analog signals between a multiple of input terminals and a multiple of output terminals. Switches, which are adjacent to each other in the order of performing on/off switching, of the multiple of switches are divided into a plurality of separate groups, and the timing of on/off switching is shifted among the groups. This can eliminates the concurrence of spikes during switching, thereby preventing the occurrence of large noise.
