The AD9670 is designed for low cost, low power, small size, and
ease of use for medical ultrasound. It contains eight channels of a
variable gain amplifier (VGA) with a low noise preamplifier (LNA),
a CW harmonic rejection I/Q demodulator with programmable
phase rotation, an antialiasing filter (AAF), an analog-to-digital
converter (ADC), and a digital demodulator and decimator for
data processing and bandwidth reduction.
Each channel features a maximum gain of up to 52 dB, a fully
differential signal path, and an active input preamplifier termination.
The channel is optimized for high dynamic performance and
low power in applications where a small package size is critical.
The LNA has a single-ended-to-differential gain that is selectable
through the SPI. Assuming a 15 MHz noise bandwidth (NBW) and
a 21.6 dB LNA gain, the LNA input SNR is 94 dB. In CW Doppler
mode, each LNA output drives an I/Q demodulator that has independently programmable phase rotation with 16 phase settings.
Power-down of individual channels is supported to increase battery
life for portable applications. Standby mode allows quick powerup for power cycling. In CW Doppler operation, the VGA, AAF,
and ADC are powered down. The ADC contains several features
designed to maximize flexibility and minimize system cost, such as
a programmable clock, data alignment, and programmable digital
test pattern generation. The digital test patterns include built-in
fixed patterns, built-in pseudorandom patterns, and custom
user-defined test patterns entered via the serial port interface.
This product is protected by a U.S. patent.
