RF Board
The RF board incorporates a variety of processing circuits for the LigaSure
generator, providing the key function of generating the output RF energy for all
operative modes. It also provides the main integration function for all sub-
assemblies interfaced within the LigaSure generator.
The following list identifies all the operative modes, process circuits, and
integration functions provided by the RF board assembly:
• Operative modes
