Abstract
An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus according to a present embodiment includes a transmission circuit, a reception circuit, a data processing circuit, an image generating circuit, a switching power supply circuit, and a control circuit. The switching power supply circuit is configured to generate a drive voltage for at least one of the transmission circuit, the reception circuit, the data processing circuit, and the image generating circuit. The control circuit is configured to control the transmission circuit to repeatedly transmit an ultrasonic pulse, and control a timing of a switching operation of the switching power supply circuit to synchronize the timing with a transmission timing or a reception timing of the ultrasonic pulse.
