Abstract
An ultrasonic device includes: oscillation elements to generate ultrasonic waves toward a subject, and generate voltages according to ultrasonic waves reflected by the subject; a switch to select voltages generated by a predetermined number of oscillation elements, from among the generated voltages; and semiconductor devices. Each semiconductor device includes: a first terminal to receive a second predetermined number of voltages different from voltages received by other semiconductor devices, among the selected voltages; a first adder to add data based on the second predetermined number of voltages; a second terminal to receive an addition result of data by the first adder of each of the other semiconductor devices; a second adder to add the addition results of the data received by the first adder and the data received by the second terminal; and an image generator to generate image data based on the addition result of the second adder.
