MD1730
8-Channel Ultra-Low Phase Noise
Continuous Waveform Transmitter with Beamformer
Features
General Description
• 8-Channel Ultrasound Continuous Waveform
(CW) Transmitter with Integrated Beamformer
• CW Output ±1V to ±6Vp-p with Low RON
• -160 dbc/Hz Ultra-Low Phase Noise at 1 kHz
Offset and 5 MHz
• 8-Bit Programmable Per-Channel Beamforming
Phase Delay
• 8-Bit Programmable Dividers for CW Frequency
with Input Clock Frequency up to 250 Mhz
• Input Clock Compatible with LVDS/SSTL or
Single-Ended LVCMOS
• LVCMOS 2.5V Logic for the Control I/O pins
• Fast SPI Interface Supports up to 200 MHz
• SPI Interface Supports Daisy Chaining and
Broadcasting Mode
The MD1730 is an 8-channel ultra-low phase noise CW
transmitter with integrated beamformer. It is designed
for medical ultrasound imaging systems requiring
high-performance CW Doppler mode. The MD1730
has a dedicated signal path designed to minimize
phase noise to the output. In addition, it has a
high-speed SPI interface that enables CW
beamforming features. The outputs of the MD1730 can
swing up to ±6V and each output has a separate
programmable phase delay. Additionally, by
programming the internal frequency divider register,
the MD1730 can output different CW frequencies from
a single clock source. For instance, when the input
clock frequency is 160 MHz and the frequency divider
is set to 16, an output CW frequency of 5 MHz can be
obtained with a phase delay step size of 6.25 ns, which
translates to an angular resolution of 11.25 degrees.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
4.1
Operation Description
The MD1730 is an 8-channel ultra-low phase noise
monolithic CW transmitter. It consists of an SPI
interface to program internal phase delay registers and
frequency dividers to facilitate CW beamforming. It
supports differential LVDS/SSTL and single-ended
2.5V LVCMOS clock inputs. The MD1730's output path
is designed to provide ultra-low phase noise and can
swing up to ±6V. The following sections provide a
detailed overview of MD1730's feature set and
operation.
4.2
Using The Built-in Clock Buffers
The MD1730 has two built-in single ended clock output
buffers. The MD1730 can accept LVDS, SSTL25 and
LVCMOS 2.5V clock at its input and provide a
single-ended output buffered clock. The clock buffers
are independent of the chip's main EN pin and each
output clock buffer can be enabled or disabled
separately using the CBE0 or CBE1 pin. The maximum
clock frequency of the buffers is 250 MHz. The output
timing diagram for the clock buffers is shown in
Figure 4-5. As shown in the diagram CKB0 and CKB1,
clock outputs are only dependent on CBE0 and CBE1
respectively. This feature makes it convenient to drive
the TX pulser retiming clock input, such as the HV7321.
Using the built in clock buffers will save the cost of
additional buffers, reduce PCB area, simplify the
system clock distribution design and improve power
savings as well.

SPI Registers Description
REGISTER 4-1:
SPI CONTROL REGISTER DESCRIPTION
Data Bits
Description
W/R
The W/R is the read write control bit. When W/R = 1, the SPI writes the data provided at the
addressed register. When W/R = 0, the SPI reads the data stored from the appropriate register.
The read operation is disabled when SPIB = 1.
CWFD<7:0>
The CWFD<7:0> register stores the divisor value for setting the CW output frequency. The CW
output frequency is set by using the equation (fCW = fCLK/(2*CWFD)) except CWFD = 0. For
CWFD = 0 the CW output frequency is fCW = fCLK/2*512. The CW output frequency ranges from
(fCLK /512) ≤ fCW ≤ (fCLK /2). The register's initial value is 0.
PHDCH<7:0>
PHDCH<7:0> sets the phase delay for each individual channel. The equation for the output delay
time is PHD<7:0>/fCLK + 2/fCLK once TXRW goes high. The register initial value is 0. Refer to
Figure 4-4 for further details.
HIZCH
HIZCH bit enables the channel output when the corresponding bit is 0. The channel is disabled
and its’ output becomes high Z when the corresponding bit is 1. The default register value is 0.
Note:
CH denotes channel number 0 to 7.

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
The MD1730’s SPI is used to program the phase delay
and frequency divider registers. The SPI supports
writing at speed up to 200 MHz and the MSB is shifted
in first. SPI interface supports two operating modes:
daisy chain mode and broadcasting mode.
When SPIB = 0, the MD1730 is in daisy chain mode. In
this mode, it supports both read and write operations.
When SPIB = 1 the chip enters the “Broadcasting”
mode. In this mode, the SDI data shifts into the shift
register as well as to the SDO output. In this mode, the
user can write the same register of different daisy
chained chips with the same value in a single write
DS20005586B-page 16
transaction. However, when SPIB = 1 the read
operation is disabled. To verify the written data for each
chip, the user can revert SPIB = 0 and perform a
normal read operation.

for
the
The read operation starts with setting CSN to

The SCK clock is used to shift in the following
SDI data:
D12 = 0, W/R bit set equal to high for read
operation.
Once the complete data has been shifted in, the
CSN should be taken high to finish the writing
operation. The SDI data is latched into
channel-3’s phase delay register on the rising
edge of the CSN signal. CSN has to be kept high
for a minimum of 2-SCK cycles for the data to be
written into the appropriate register.
The MD1730 can also be used in the Broadcasting
mode to write several daisy chained chips with the
same data. The Broadcasting mode can be used to
reduce the time required to write the SPI if several
MD1730 chips need the same data. The following is a
1-byte writing example for the register at the address
location ADD = 0011b with data D<7:0> =01010101b
while the MD1730 is set to broadcasting mode.
SPI READ OPERATION EXAMPLES
The following is a 2-byte reading example from the
register at ADD = 0011b (Channel-3’s phase delay
register) when SPIB = TXRW = 0.
D<7:0> = 01010101b, data to be written into
channel-3’s phase delay register.
In the case of eight chips daisy chained together as
shown in Figure 4-3, there should be 13 x 8 = 104
cycles of SCK before the CSN is taken high.
1.

ADD<11:8> = 0011b, address for channel-3’s

The SDI data is shifted in at the rising edge of
SCK.
3.
4.
5.
Once the complete data has been shifted into
the SPI the CSN is taken high. While CSN is
high the MD1730 fetches the data located at
ADD<11:9> = 0011b and places it in its internal
shift register.
Once the complete data has been shifted in, the
CSN should be taken high to finish the reading
operation. While CSN is high the MD1730
fetches the data located at ADD<11:9> = 0011b
and places it in its internal shift register. CSN
has to be kept high for a minimum of 2-SCK
cycles for the data to be fetched and placed into
the internal shift register.
The CSN is taken low and during the next 13
SCK clock cycles, the fetched data in the
internal shift register is clocked out on the rising
edge of SCK from the SDO of the MD1730.
D<7:0> = 01010101, data to be written into the
channel-3’s phase delay register.
The SDI data is shifted in at the rising edge of
SCK.
In Broadcasting mode, the same set of data
shifted into the first chip’s SDI is sent to all the
MD1730 chips along the daisy chain. As shown
is Figure 4-3 when SPIB = 1 an internal switch
connects the SDI and SDO directly.
3.
Once the complete data has been shifted in, the
CSN should be taken high to finish the writing
operation. The SDI data is latched into each
chip’s channel-3 phase delay register on the
rising edge of the CSN signal. CSN has to be
kept high for a minimum of 2-SCK cycles for the
data to be written into the appropriate register.

TXRW high. The phase delay counter starts counting
down after a two CLK cycle latency. This is illustrated in
Figure 4-4 for channel 0 and channel 1. In channel 0’s
case, the phase delay starts counting down from 2 to 0
after the latency and once the delay reaches 0 on the
next rising edge of CLK, the positive output appears on
the pin CW0. Based on the value of the CWFD<7:0>
register, after 4-CLK cycles the CW0 output toggles to
the negative supply rail. Subsequently, after 4-CLK
cycles at the negative rail, the output switches back
again to the positive supply rail, completing one full CW
output wave cycle. This process continues until the
TXRW pin deasserts low, which shuts the transmission
off and forces the channel into a high impedance state.
This same procedure applies to channel 1, which is
also depicted in Figure 4-4.
CW0~7 Output Timing
The CW output waveform transmission timing is crucial
to an ultrasound imaging system. Any small timing
variations on the output can degrade the phase noise
performance. The MD1730’s internal circuitry is
designed to ensure ultra-low phase noise. Figure 4-4
shows an example of the output waveform timing
diagram. The chip is enabled by taking the EN pin high.
Then using the SPI, channel-0’s and channel-1’s phase
delay registers (PHD0<7:0> and PHD1<7:0>) are
programmed with delays of 2 and 3 respectively. The
rest of the channels are set to a high impedance state
by programming the HIZ<7:0> register with data
11111100b. Furthermore, the frequency divider
register (CWFD<7:0>) is set to 4. After completing the
SPI operation the transmission starts by asserting

MD1730 Working with Two HV7321
The diagrams shown in Figure 4-6 and Figure 4-7
illustrate the MD1730 driving two HV7321s.
11. Once the system is ready to perform CW
Doppler measurement, assert TXRW high to
start the CW transmission on the selected
channels.
When the HV7321 is operated in the specific mode,
CW MODE = 1, along with the MD1730, the following
steps should be taken to ensure the combination
settings work correctly:
6.
Apply all power supply rails to both chips and set
HV7321’s OEN = REN = PWS = 1 along with
MD1730’s EN = 1 to enable both chips. Set all
other control logic pins to zero.
7.
Adjust the VCW+ and VCW- power supplies to
the required peak-to-peak voltage levels for CW
output transmission. Please note that a higher
peak-to-peak transmission voltage will result in
the MD1730 dissipating more power. The power
dissipation on the MD1730 is proportional to the
square of the peak-to-peak voltage.
8.
Assert HV7321’s MODE pin high.
9.
Program the MD1730 with the desired CW
frequency divider and delay settings for CW
transmission.
10. To place a channel in receive mode, set the
corresponding pins SEL, NEG, POS = 011b on
the HV7321. To place a channel to CW Transmit
mode, set the corresponding pins SEL, NEG,
POS to any other combination other than 011b
on HV7321. This will put that channel of the
HV7321 high voltage Tx output in High Z mode,
but turn the channel’s CWSW on.
In the case user wants a channel not in High Z or CW
Transmit mode, then similarly, to set the channel of
HV7321 to High Z and also set the MD1730’s
corresponding bit in the HIZ register to 1.

MD1730 Working with Two HV7321 Pulsers Pinout and Package.
CW Transmission Clock
The input clock of the MD1730, used for CW
transmission, can be connected either differentially or
single-ended. Figure 4-8 shows the LVDS differential
implementation for the transmission clock. Here the
CLKP and the CLKN pins are directly driven by a LVDS
clock buffer. It is highly recommended that a
multiple-output LVDS clock buffer IC is used, such as
the SY89832U, and that a 100Ω termination resistor is
placed very close to the CLKP and CLKN pins. For
successful transmission of the LVDS signal over
differential traces, the following guidelines should be
followed while laying out the PCB board:
• To ensure minimal reflections and to maintain the
receiver’s common-mode noise rejection, keep
the differential traces as short as possible
between the clock buffer IC and the CLKP/CLKN
pins of the MD1730.
• To reduce skew, the electrical lengths between
differential LVDS traces should be identical. The
arrival of one differential signal before the other
will create a phase difference between the signal
pairs, which would create clock skew and impair
the system performance.
• Minimize the number of vias or other
DS20005586B-page 22

CWIN2
discontinuities in the signal path. To avoid
discontinuities, arcs or 45-degree traces are
recommended instead of 90-degree turns.
• Any parasitic loading, such as capacitance, must
be present in equal amounts on each differential
line.
Figure 4-9 illustrates the two cases for the MD1730
used in a single-ended configuration. In these cases,
one of the clock input pins, CLKP or CLKN, is
connected to the VLL/2 voltage level and bypassed to
ground with a 0.1 uF bypass capacitor. Each bypass
capacitor must be placed very close to the MD1730.
The other clock input pin connects to the main clock
line. The PCB traces on the clock line must be
designed for a 50Ω impedance with respect to the PCB
ground place. Also, the clock pin must be terminated
with a small 50Ω SMT resistor.
Generally, the LVCMOS input configuration provides
better CW phase noise performance due to its higher
amplitude swing as compared to the LVDS
configuration. However, if the user needs a very high
frequency clock transmission, such as 160 MHz240 MHz range for a higher phase delay resolution,
then LVDS should be used because it provides a better
PCB clock trace distribution.
