Why did you design a specific CW half-bridge with current limited in 0.6A output current capability?

    Hi, Lee,

    The CW HB was implemented to keep low the power consumption during the CW operations [CW, PW Doppler and Color Flow]. The fact that we made up customizing the P/N Ch power FETs size [CW HB] allowed us to reduce the parasitic capacitances, hence to save powers during HV commutations.
