DESCRIPTION
The AFE5801 is an analog front end, targeting
applications where the power and level of integration
are critical. The device contains eight variable-gain
amplifiers (VGA), each followed by a high-speed (up
to 65MSPS) ADC, for a total of eight ADCs per
device.
Each of the eight differential inputs is buffered,
accepts up to 2Vpp maximum input swing, and is
followed by a VGA with a gain range from –5dB to
31dB. The VGA gain is digitally controlled, and the
gain curves versus time can be stored in memory
integrated within the device using the serial interface.
A selectable clamping and antialias low-pass filter
(with 3dB attenuation at 7.5, 10, or 14MHz) is also
integrated between VGA and ADC, for every channel.
The VGA/antialias filter outputs are differential
(limited to 2Vpp) and drive the onboard 12bit,
65MSPS ADC. The ADC also scales down its power
consumption should a lower sampling rate be
selected. The ADC outputs are serialized in LVDS
streams, which further minimizes power and board
area.
The AFE5801 is available in a 64-pin QFN package
(9mm × 9mm) and is specified over the full industrial
temperature range (–40°C to 85°C).

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AFE5801 is a very low-power CMOS monolithic analog front end which includes an eight-channel
variable-gain amplifier (VGA) followed by an eight-channel, 12bit, high-speed pipeline analog-to-digital convereter
(ADC) based on switched-capacitor architecture.
Each of the eight VGA differential inputs is buffered and accepts a maximum swing of 2Vpp centered at a dc
level (VCM) of about 1.6V.
Each VGA has a gain range from –5dB to 31dB, and the gain is digitally controlled, with a resolution of 0.125dB.
Using the serial interface, the gain curves (common to all VGAs) versus time can be stored in the memory
integrated within the device.
A hardware sync input pin is available (SYNC). When a pulse is applied to this pin, all the VGAs in the device
start stepping through the selected time-gain curve at the same clock cycle. This sync can also be initiated by
software using the serial interface.
A selectable anti-alias low-pass filter (AAF) with 3dB attenuation at 7.5MHz, 10MHz, or 14MHz is also integrated,
together with clamping (which can be disabled).
The VGA/AAF can output 2Vpp differential swing without degradation in the specified linearity and can drive an
onboard 12bit ADC. After the input signals are captured by the sample-and-hold circuit, at the rising edge of the
clock, the samples are sequentially converted by a series of low-resolution stages. The outputs of the stages are
combined in a digital correction logic block to form the final 12bit word with a latency of 11 clock cycles, without
taking into account the delays introduced by the optional digital signal-processing functions. These functions are,
in this order, offset correction, channel averaging, digital gain, and high-pass filtering (see General-Purpose
Register Map for more details). The 12bit words of each channel are serialized and output as LVDS levels. For
slower operation speeds, the AFE5801 offers the possibility of multiplexing up to two input channels into one
LVDS output stream, reducing even further the power consumption and routing area. In addition to the data
streams, a bit clock and frame clock are also output. The frame clock is aligned with the 12bit word boundary.
Notice that for the correct operation of the device (see the Serial Interface section), a positive pulse must be
applied to the RESET pin. This sets the internal control registers to zero. There is, nevertheless, no need for any
type of power-up sequencing.
INPUT CONFIGURATION
The analog input for the AFE5801, Figure 34, consists of a differential analog buffer which has inputs biased to
1.6V (usually refered as common-mode voltage, VCM). The biasing is done with two internal resistors of 5kΩ. For
proper operation, the input signal should be either ac-coupled or have a commn-mode value equal to VCM. In the
case of ac coupling, the external input capacitors form a high-pass filter with the internal bias resistors (5kΩ), so,
the value of the capacitors should allow the lowest frequency of interest to pass with minimum attenuation. For
the typical frequencies used in ultrasound (>1MHz) a value of 10nF or bigger is recommended. If dc coupling is
preferred, the user can tap the VCM output pins to set the common-mode level of the input signal. The VCM output
should be connected to high-input-impedance circuits, as its driving capability is limited. Regardless of the
choosen input configuration, a capacitor of 100nF should be connected on each VCM input to AVSS.
For proper operation, the input signal should be in the recommended input range. The maximum input swing is
limited to 2Vpp before saturation/distortion fo the input stage occurs. As the input common mode (VCM) is about
1.6V, each input of the buffer should stay between 1.1V and 2.1V.

Figure 34. Common-Mode Biasing of Input Pins
The maximum input swing is limited to 2Vpp before distortion/saturation of the input stage occurs. As the input dc
level (VCM) is about 1.6V, this means that each input of the VGA typically stays between 1.1V and 2.1V.
To drive the AFE5801 with a single-ended signal, the signal should be connected to one of the inputs (INiP, in
principle, to keep the polarity) and the other connected to AVSS through a 100nF capacitor. In fact, all the
AFE5801 inputs that must be connected to ground can be shorted together and connected to ground through a
single 100nF capacitor. The input is limited to 1Vpp (from 1.1V to 2.1V) and the performance is similar to that of
the AFE5851. Every channel on the AFE5851 is similar to a channel on the AFE5801 where the other input has
been shorted internally to VCM. See the AFE5851 16 Channel Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA) With Octal High
Speed ADC data sheet (SLOS574) for more information.
SERIAL INTERFACE
Register Initialization
After power up, the internal registers must be initialized to the default value (zero). Initialization can be done in
one of two ways:
• Through a hardware reset, by applying a positive pulse in the RESET pin
• Through a software reset, using the serial interface, by setting the SOFTWARE RESET bit to high. Setting
this bit initializes the internal registers to the respective default values (all zeros) and then self-resets the
SOFTWARE RESET bit to low. In this case, the RESET pin can stay low (inactive).
It is important to notice that after power up and before the device is reset to its default state, the power
consumption could be up to 2× the specified maximum, due to the unknown setting of the internal registers. In
order to prevent the initial increased power consumption, a potential solution is to connect the RESET pin to
either 1.8V or 3.3V supply with a 10kΩ resistor, so that the device is reset while powering up. For the reset to
take effect, the power must be up on DVDD18. Notice that there is no damage to the part by applying voltage
to the RESET pin while the device power is off.
Notice also that the reset only affects the digital registers, putting the part in its default state. It does not act
as a power down and as such, everything internal just keeps running. As the internal registers change their
values, the effects on the data propagate through the pipe. At the same time, there may be some glitches on
the output due to the transition of the registers values if any of the output controlling modes, for instance,
change. As the reset is level-sensitive and asynchronous with the input clock, it should be inactive in order to
write into the internal registers. Although it takes only 10ns after the reset rising edge to change the registers,
the output data may take, in the worst case, up to 20 clock cycles to be considered stable. Notice that the
output clocks (data and frame) are independent of the RESET and tight to the input clock, avoiding any loss
of synchronization.

Figure 35. Reset Timing
Programming of different modes can be done through the serial interface formed by pins SEN (serial interface
enable), SCLK (serial interface clock), SDATA (serial interface data) and RESET. SCLK and SDATA have a
100kΩ pulldown resistor to ground, and SEN has a 100kΩ pullup resistor to DVDD18. Serial shift of bits into the
device is enabled when SEN is low. Serial data SDATA is latched at every rising edge of SCLK when SEN is
active (low). The serial data is loaded into the register at every 24th SCLK rising edge when SEN is low. In case
the word length exceeds a multiple of 24 bits, the excess bits are ignored. Data can be loaded in multiples of
24bit words within a single active SEN pulse (there is an internal counter that counts groups of 24 clocks after
the falling edge of SEN). The interface can work with SCLK frequency from 20MHz down to very low speeds (a
few Hertz) and even with a non-50% duty-cycle SCLK.
The data is divided in two main portions: a register address (8 bits) and the data itself, to load on the addressed
register (16 bits). When writing to a register with unused bits, these should be set to 0. Also, when writing, the
SDOUT signal outputs zeros. The following timing diagram illustrates this process.

GENERAL-PURPOSE REGISTER MAP
The internal registers can be divided in two groups, a group of registers to control all the general functions and
settings of the device, and a bank of registers to control the TGC/gain curves operation. Those two sets of
registers overlap in all the address space, except for the address 0, which holds the control of the register bank.
One of the bits of this register, TGC_REG_WREN (see following table) is used to access one set of registers or
the other. Its default value is zero and gives access to the general-purpose registers (which are also by default
zero). The TGC control registers (described after the general-purpose registers) can be accessed by writing 1 to
TGC_REG_WREN.
The following table describes the function of the registers when TGC_REGISTER_WREN = 0 (default). The
address format is address[bit of the register].

GENERAL-PURPOSE REGISTER DESCRIPTION
AVERAGING_ENABLE
Address: 2[11]
When set to 1, two samples, corresponding to two consecutive channels, are averaged (channel 1 with 2, 3
with 4, 5 with 6, and 7 with 8). If both channels receive the same input, the net effect is an improvement in
SNR. The averaging is performed as:
• Channel 1 + channel 2 comes out on channel 3.
• Channel 3 + channel 4 comes out on channel 4.
• Channel 5 + channel 6 comes out on channel 5.
• Channel 7 + channel 8 comes out on channel 6.
DFS
Address: 4[3]
DFS stands for data format select. The ADC output, by default, is in 2s-complement mode. Programming the
DFS bit to 1 inverts the MSB, and the output becomes straight-offset binary mode.
DIGITAL_GAIN_ENABLE
Address: 3[12]
Setting this bit to 1 applies to each channel i the corresponding gain given by DIG_GAINi<15:11>. The gain
is given as 0dB + 0.2dB × DIG_GAINi<15:11>. For instance, if DIG_GAIN5<15:11> = 3, channel 5 is
increased by 0.6dB gain. DIG_GAINi<15:11> = 31 produces the same effect as DIG_GAINi<15:11> = 30,
setting the gain of channel i to 6dB.
DIGITAL_HIGH_PASS_FILTER_ENABLE and DIGITAL_HIGH_PASS_FILTER_CORNER_FREQ
DIGITAL_HIGH_PASS_FILTER_ENABLE (channels 1–4): Address: 21[0]
DIGITAL_HIGH_PASS_FILTER_ENABLE (channels 5–8): Address: 33[0]
DIGITAL_HIGH_PASS_FILTER_CORNER_FREQ (channels 1–4): Address: 21[4:1]
DIGITAL_HIGH_PASS_FILTER_CORNER_FREQ (channels 5–8): Address: 33[4:1]
This group of four registers controls the characteristics of a digital high-pass transfer function applied to the
output data, following the formula: y(n) = 2k/(2k + 1) [x(n) – x(n – 1) + y(n – 1)]. The
DIGITAL_HIGH_PASS_FILTER_CORNER_FREQ registers (one for the first four channels and one for the
second group of four channels) describe the setting of k.
EXTERNAL_REFERENCE
Address: 1[13]
The internal reference mode (default) uses approximately 3mW more power on AVDD (which is already
included in all the specification tables). The AFE5801 can operate in external reference mode by
programming EXTERNAL_REFERENCE to 1. In this mode, the VREF_IN pin should be driven with 1.4V.
Due to the high input impedace of this pin, no special drive capabilities are required. For the same reason,
no decoupling on VREF_IN is needed, although depending on the noise on the 1.4V signal, some filtering
may be required. Nevertheless, when using the internal reference, there is no need to decouple VREF_IN.
The advantage of using the external reference mode is that multiple AFE5801 units can be made to operate
with the same external reference, thereby improving parameters such as gain matching across devices.
FILTER_BW
Address: 7[3:2]
This bit sets the 3dB attenuation frequency for the antialiasing filter (AAF).
GLOBAL_PDN
Address: 1[0]
The global PDN bit is ORed with the signal in the external PDN pin (59). Therefore, a 1 on this bit shuts the
device down completely.

INTERNAL_AC_COUPLING
Address: 7[1]
This bit controls an internal high-pass filter (Figure 34), set between the input buffer and the VCA. This filter
removes the input offset to avoid its amplification by the TGC. An alternative method is to remove the offset
effect on the digital domain, either on the device following the ADC or at the ADC output, by using the
DIGITAL HIGH PASS FILTER registers described previously.
LOW_FREQUENCY_NOISE_SUPPRESSION
Address: 1[11]
The low-frequency noise-suppression mode is specifically useful in applications where good noise
performance is desired in the frequency band of 0MHz to 1MHz (around dc). Setting this mode shifts the
low-frequency noise of the ADC in the AFE5801 to approximately fS/2, thereby reducing the noise floor
around dc to a much lower value.
OUTPUT_DISABLE
Address: 1[1]
A 1 on this bit sets all the LVDS outputs into the high-impedance state.
OUTPUT_RATE_2X
Address: 1[14]
The output data always uses a DDR format, with valid/different bits on the positive as well as the negative
edges of the LVDS bit clock, DCLK. The output rate is set by default to 1× (OUTPUT_RATE_2X = 0), where
each ADC has one LVDS stream associated with it. If the sampling rate is low enough, two ADCs can share
one LVDS stream, in this way lowering the power consumption devoted to the interface. The unused outputs
will output zero. To avoid consumption from those outputs, no termination should be connected to them. The
distribution on the used output pairs is done in the following way:
• Channel 1 and channel 2 come out on channel 3. Channel 1 comes out first.
• Channel 3 and channel 4 come out on channel 4. Channel 3 comes out first.
• Channel 5 and channel 6 come out on channel 5. Channel 5 comes out first.
• Channel 7 and channel 8 come out on channel 6. Channel 7 comes out first.

PATTERN_MODES and CUSTOM_PATTERN
PATTERN_MODES: Address: 2[15:13]
CUSTOM_PATTERN: Address: 5[13:0]
The AFE5801 can output a variety of test patterns on the LVDS outputs. These test patterns replace the
normal ADC data output and help on debugging and synchronization, with the device reading the output of
the ADC.
• PATTERN_MODE equal to 000 is the default and disables this test mode, i.e., the output data is the
same as the ADC data.
• PATTERN_MODE equal to 001 (SYNC mode) replaces the normal ADC word by a fixed 1111 1100 0000
word.
• PATTERN_MODE equal to 010 sets the DESKEW mode, where the 12-bit ADC output D<11:0> is
replaced with the 0101 0101 0101 word, which creates a continuous stream of 1s and 0s in the data line.
• PATTERN_MODE equal to 011 outputs a constant code set by the bits in CUSTOM_PATTERN<13:0>.
Depending on the value of SERIALIZED_DATA_RATE (see following) the output bits conform to the
following rules:
– In the default case, where SERIALIZED_DATA_RATE is 00, for 12-bit ADC data at the output, the
CUSTOM_PATTERN<13:2> bits are used, replacing the sampled data. These bits are still controlled
by the LSB-first and MSB-first modes in the same way as normal ADC data are.
– For SERIALIZED_DATA_RATE = 01, 10-bit output mode is selected, and the
CUSTOM_PATTERN<13:4> bits are used.
– For SERIALIZED_DATA_RATE = 10, 16-bit output mode is selected. In this case, the
CUSTOM_PATTERN<13:0> bits are used for the first 14 most-significant bits, and two 0s take the
place of the LSBs.
– For SERIALIZED_DATA_RATE = 11, 14-bit mode is selected, and the CUSTOM_PATTERN<13:0>
bits take the place of the output word.
• PATTERN_MODE equal to 100 makes the output always 1, whereas setting it to 110 makes the output
always 0.
• PATTERN_MODE equal to 101 makes the output of the device toggle between two consecutive codes.
On the nth sample clock, the data is 0000 0000 0000, and on the following one (nth + 1), it is
1111 1111 1111.
• PATTERN_MODE equal to 111 causes all the channels to output a repeating full-scale ramp pattern. The
ramp increments from zero code to full-scale code in steps of 1 LSB every clock cycle. After hitting the
full-scale code, it returns back to the zero code and ramps again.
PDN_CHANNEL<7:0>
Address: 1[9:2]
Each bit controls the power down of a channel (buffer, VCA, and ADC). For example, PDN_CHANNEL<0>
powers down channel 1 and the corresponding LVDS pair becomes high-impedance. DCLK and FCLK are
not powered down. They become active if terminated with 100Ω.
PDN_LVDS
Address: 2[10:3]
PDN_LVDS<7:0> selects which LVDS pairs become inactive (zero output current, i.e., high-impedance
state). The frame and clock LVDS streams are powered down only when OUTPUT_DISABLE and/or
GLOBAL_PDN is set.
REGISTER_OFFSET_SUBTRACTION_ENABLE
Address: 3[8]
Setting this bit to 1 enables the substraction of the value on the corresponding OFFSET_CHi<9:2> (offset for
channel i) from the ADC output. The number is specified in 2s-complement format. For example,

OFFSET_CHi<9:2> = 0100 0000 means substract –128. For OFFSET_CHi<9:2> = 0111 1111 the effect is to
substract 127. In effect, both addition and subtraction can be performed. Note that the the offset is applied
before the digital gain (see DIGITAL_GAIN_ENABLE). The whole data path is 2s-complement throughout
internally. Only when DFS = 1 (straight binary output format) is the 2s-complement word translated into offset
binary at the end.
REGISTER_READOUT_ENABLE
Address: 0[1]
The device includes an option where the contents of the internal registers can be read back. This may be
useful as a diagnostic to verify the serial interface communication between the external controller and the
AFE. First, the <REGISTER READOUT ENABLE> bit must be set to 1. Then user should initiate a serial
interface cycle specifying the address of the register (A7–A0) whose content is to be read. The data bits are
don't care. The device outputs the contents (D15–D0) of the selected register on the SDOUT pin. The
external controller can latch the contents at the rising edge of SCLK. To enable serial register writes, set the
<REGISTER READOUT ENABLE> bit back to 0. The following timing diagram shows this operation (the time
specifications follow the same information provided on the table for a serial interface register write):

SERIALIZED_DATA_RATE
Address: 3[14:13]
These two bits control the length of the data word, i.e., the number of DCLKs per FCLK period. It is possible,
for instance, to output a 16bit data stream even with a 12bit ADC. In this case, the 4 LSBs are padded with
0s. The pass from higher resolution to lower serialization is not supported, however. I.e, it is not possible to
select a 10bit stream with a 12bit ADC.
TGC_REGISTER_WREN
Address: 0[2]
Set this bit to 1 to access the TGC table and 0 (default after reset) to access the general-purpose register
table. The same address may point, this way, to one bank of registers (general purpose) or to the other
(TGC control). Nevertheless, observe that register 0 of the general-purpose registers is always accessible,
regardless of the value of TGC_REGISTER_WREN. The TGC table starts at address 1.

The TGC operation is described in the VGA/TGC Operation section that follows. This section describes the TGC

Each of these 9 bit registers (148 of them) stores the time to stay at a given gain setting, during the gain
ramp. The most significant bit of each register (REG_VALUE<8>) denotes either increment or decrement
gain from current gain value. The other 8 bits (REG_VALUE<7:0>) denote the time (a multiple of 8 × Tclk;
Tclk being the channel sampling clock, i.e., double the period of the device input clock) for the change of the
gain from the CURRENT_GAIN to CURRENT_GAIN ±1dB (depending on the REG_VALUE<8>). The fastest
ramp (shortest time) for this 1dB gain change is set by REG_VALUE<7:0> equal to 0x00 and it is 8 × Tclk.
The slowest ramp (longest time) for this 1dB gain change is set by REG_VALUE<7:0> equal to 0xFF, and it
is 255 × 8 × Tclk (see VGA operation – described later).
START_INDEX

This 8 bit register specifies/points to the first REG_VALUE register of the TGC curve (i.e., where the curve
starts) and can have values ranging from 1 to 148 (in decimal).
STOP_INDEX
Address: 0x96[7:0]
This 8 bit register specifies/points to the last REG_VALUE register of the TGC curve (i.e., where the curve

VGA/TGC OPERATION
The gain variation of the variable gain amplifier (VGA) versus time is called the TGC function and on the
AFE5801 is controlled digitally. The gain is implemented by a switched network where the switches controlling
the gain are synchronized with the ADC sampling instant to minimize glitches on the output data. The gain
setting depends on the mode of operation selected by the user. There are 3 possible modes of operation:
non-uniform gain, uniform gain, and static mode. The following sections describe each in detail.

Non-Uniform Gain Increment Mode
In the non-uniform gain increment mode, the user sets an arbitrary shape for the gain versus time curve. For a
given time/sampling instant, the digital gain setting is obtained from an internal memory of 148 positions/registers
(named REG_VALUEs), each 9 bits wide, loaded by the user through the serial port (see Serial Interface
section). Addresses 1 to 148 can be used to access these registers, while TGC_REGISTER_WREN = 1.
As explained above, the most significant bit of each register (REG_VALUE<8>) denotes either increment or
decrement gain from current gain value. The other 8 bits (REG_VALUE<7:0>) denote the time (a multiple of 8 ×
Tclk, being Tclk the sampling clock) for the change of the gain from the CURRENT_GAIN to CURRENT_GAIN
±1dB (depending on the REG_VALUE<8>). The fastest ramp (shortest time) for this 1dB gain change is set by
REG_VALUE<7:0> equal to 0x00 and it is 8 × Tclk. The slowest ramp (longest time) for this 1dB gain change is
set by REG_VALUE<7:0> equal to 0xFF and it is 255 × 8 × Tclk.
INTERP_ENABLE sets the way the gain is increased/decreased. By default the gain ramp is implemented in
steps of 1dB (INTERP_ENABLE equal to 0). If INTERP_ENABLE is equal to 1, the actual 1dB gain step is
implemented in 8 steps of 0.125dB.
The 148 REG_VALUE registers can be used to store either a single curve or multiple TGC curves. The
START_INDEX register points to the REG_VALUE register where the TGC curve starts and the STOP_INDEX
register points to the REG_VALUE register where the TGC curve stops. Using the START_INDEX and
STOP_INDEX registers the desired TGC curves can be chosen.

SLOS591D – SEPTEMBER 2008 – REVISED MAY 2010
As shown in Figure 38, a pulse high signal on the SYNC pin will set the starting gain value of the TGC curve to
the START_GAIN register value, and it will initiate the progression through the different REG_VALUEs, starting
at START_INDEX. Observe that there is no option to delay the start of gain stepping after the SYNC pulse is
received. Then, the progression continues until either the STOP_INDEX is reached or maximum/minimum gain is
exceeded. After that, the last valid value of gain is held for an extra given number of clocks set by the register
HOLD_GAIN_TIME.
After the elapsing of clocks mentioned by the HOLD_GAIN_TIME register, the TGC starts to step down (or up) to
the START_GAIN in steps of 1dB every Tclk (channel sampling clock) in preparation for the next TGC profile.
The TGC will start updating/following the REG_VALUEs again after a new high pulse on the SYNC pin is given.
The SYNC signal is latched by the rising edge of the channel sampling clock. In other words, the gain increments
at the rising edge of the channel sampling clock. Setup time with rising edge is 7ns, and hold time 4ns.
Soft Synchronization
The TGC can run periodically following a given TGC curve but without the need for a high pulse signal in the
SYNC pin. This is done by setting SOFT_SYNC bit to 1. Once this bit is set, the sequence of events is the same
as with the hardwired SYNC pulse. The TGC curve updates from START_INDEX to STOP_INDEX. After
reaching STOP_INDEX or the maximum/minimum gain, the STOP_GAIN value is held for HOLD_VALUE_TIME
and then the gain ramps up or down to START_GAIN. After this the TGC update starts again automatically and
repeats all these steps periodically till the SOFT_SYNC bit becomes zero.
The SYNC process through register write occurs at the serial clock edge where the register is written. If serial
clock and sample clock (channel sampling clock) are synchronous then the described relation in the hardwired
SYNC section will hold and the SYNC bit is latched by the rising edge of the channel sampling clock, respecting
a setup time with rising edge of 7ns and hold time of 4ns. If sample clock and serial clock are not synchronous
then this relationship does not apply and a clock uncertainty of ±1 sample will apply in respect to the nearest
sample clock rising edge.
Example 1: In the following example of non-uniform gain mode, all the 148 registers are loaded. Nevertheless,
the start address for the TGC is set in START_INDEX to 2 and the stop address (STOP_INDEX) to 7. The
START_GAIN is set to 6 and HOLD_GAIN_TIME is 4.
With a high pulse on the SYNC pin the gain starts from 1dB (START_GAIN = 0x06). 1dB to 2dB ramp is done in
120Tclks, using eight 0.125dB steps (as INTERP_ENABLE is set to 1), each 15Tclks long. The ramp from 2dB to
3dB is done in 64Tclks, also in 0.125dB steps. The ramp from 3dB to 4dB is done in 40 Tclks. Decrement from
4dB to 3dB in 64Tclks. Gain increment from 3dB to 4dB in 56 Tclks and from 4dB to 4.875dB in 80 Tclks.
Observe that in the case where INTERP_ENABLE = 1, STOP_GAIN = START_GAIN + (STOP_INDEX –
START_INDEX) – ( 2 × Number of decrements) + 0.875dB. In the case where INTERP_ENABLE = 0,
STOP_GAIN = START_GAIN + (STOP_INDEX – START_INDEX) – ( 2 × Number of Decrements). This is due to
the fact that the interpolation engine keeps the gain increasing or decreasing when INTERP_ENABLE = 1, while
the gain is frozen when INTERP_ENABLE = 0.

Uniform Gain Increment Mode
By setting UNIFORM_GAIN_MODE to 1, the TGC engine can also be configured for a uniform increment gain
ramp mode where the gain is ramped up from the START_GAIN value to the STOP_GAIN with a slope set by
the UNIFORM_GAIN_SLOPE register. Note: STOP_GAIN is not a programmable register, but just an internally
computed value from START_GAIN, UNIFORM_GAIN_SLOPE, START_INDEX and STOP_INDEX.
If INTERP_ENABLE = 1, UNIFORM_GAIN_SLOPE sets the number of Tclk (channel sampling clock) at a given
gain before incrementing or decrementing 0.125dB. If INTERP_ENABLE = 0, this register sets the number of 8 ×
Tclk (eight sampling periods) at a given gain before incrementing or decrementing 1dB. Observe that in both
cases the time it takes to step by 1dB is the same. In INTERP_ENABLE = 0 the gain is stationary at the same
setting for the given time, whereas in the other case the gain increments in fine gain steps of 0.125dB to cover
that 1dB step
When
INTERP_ENABLE
is
zero,
the
STOP_GAIN
is
computed
as
START_GAIN
+
(STOP_INDEX-START_INDEX). Nevertheless, when INTERP_ENABLE = 1, the STOP_GAIN is equal to
START_GAIN + (STOP_INDEX - START_INDEX) + 0.875dB. This is basically due to the fact that the
interpolation engine keeps the gain increasing on the second case, while, as explained above, is frozen on the
first case. Observe that START_INDEX and STOP_INDEX are not used in this case as pointers to the
REG_VALUEs table. Instead, only the difference between the two is important to compute STOP_GAIN. As
such, START_INDEX can be set to zero and STOP_INDEX will store STOP_GAIN – START_GAIN. Observe
that only positive slope ramps are possible.
Example 1: setting START_GAIN = 0x2 (–3dB), START_INDEX = 0x00, STOP_INDEX = 0x06,
INTERP_ENABLE = 0 and UNIFORM_GAIN_SLOPE = 0x8, will set the gain at –3dB for 8 × 8 × Tclk, then to
–2dB for another 64 Tclk, and so on, through –1, 0, 1, 2 and 3. After spending 64 × Tclk in 3dB, the gain will stay
at that gain setting for HOLD_GAIN_TIME and start stepping down back to START_GAIN, with 1dB per Tclk.
Example 2: for the same settings, START_GAIN = 0x2 (–3dB), START_INDEX = 0x00, STOP_INDEX = 0x06,
and UNIFORM_GAIN_SLOPE = 0x8, if we set INTERP_ENABLE = 1, the gain will start at –3dB for 8Tclk, then
–2.875dB for another 8Tclk, then –2.750dB and so on, till 3dB. At this point, while in example 1, with
INTERP_ENABLE = 0 the gain would be frozen for another 64 Tclk, in this example, the gain will continue to
increase with 0.125dB steps every 8Tclk till 3.875dB is reached. There will stay for another 8Tclk before starting
to wait for HOLD_GAIN_TIME and start stepping down.
Example 3: for START_GAIN = 0x2 (–3dB) , START_INDEX = 0x00, STOP_INDEX = 0x00, INTERP_ENABLE =
1 and UNIFORM_GAIN_SLOPE = 0x1, the gain will step through –3dB, –2.875, –2.75, –2.625, –2.5, –2.375,
–2.25 and –2.125, staying at each of these 8 values 1 clock cycle (8 total). Then it will wait for
HOLD_GAIN_TIME in –2.125dB and then it will start stepping down back to –3dB.
Example 4: same settings as example 3, but with INTERP_ENABLE = 0, would simply set the VGA gain to –3dB
for 8 clock cycles and then the logic would wait for HOLD_GAIN_TIME.
Static PGA Mode
The 3rd mode of operation is actually a mode where the TGC engine is disabled by writing 1 into the
STATIC_PGA bit. This enables the use of a fixed gain mode where the gain is obtained by the sum of a coarse
and a fine gain. Coarse gain can be set from –5 to 31dB, in 1dB steps, by the register COARSE_GAIN (6 bit
word from 0x00 to 0x24). Setting a value bigger than 0x24 on the COARSE_GAIN register is the same as setting
0x24. The fine gain can be set in steps of 0.125dB resolution, from 0dB to 0.875dB by the FINE_GAIN register (3
bit word with range from 0x00 to 0x07). Observe that the maximum gain, when both registers are set to their
maximum gains, is actually 31.875dB.

ANTI-ALIAS FILTER (AAF)
The AFE5801 integrates a selectable third-order low-pass filter for each of the eight channels. The cutoff
frequency can be set for all the channels simultaneously through the serial interface (see FILTER_BW register, in
the General Purpose Register table) between 3 possible settings: 7.5, 10 and 14MHz. Figure 18 shows the
frequency response for each of these settings. The filter characteristics are set by passive components which are
subject to variations over process and temperature. A typical variation of ±5% on the frequency characteristics is
expected.
CLAMPING CIRCUIT AND OVERLOAD RECOVERY
The AFE5801 is designed in particular for ultrasound applications where the front-end device is required to
recover very quickly from an overload condition. Such overload can either be the result of a transmit pulse
feed-through or a strong echo, which can cause overload of the VGA and ADC.
Enabled by default, the AFE5801 includes a clamping circuit to further optimize the overload recovery behavior of
the complete channel (see Figure 34). The circuit can be disabled by writing a 1 in the bit 14 of the address 70
(decimal) of the General Purpose Register Map. The clamp is set to limit the signal at 3dB above the full scale of
the ADC (2Vpp).
CLOCK INPUTS
The eight channels on the device operate from a single clock input. To ensure that the aperture delay and jitter
are the same for all channels, the AFE5801 uses a clock tree network to generate individual sampling clocks to
each channel. The clock lines for all channels are matched from the source point to the sampling circuit of each
of the eight internal ADCs. The variation on this delay is described in the Aperture Delay parameter of the Output
Interface Timing. Its variation over time is described in the Aperture Jitter number of the same table.
The AFE5801 clock input can be driven differentially (sine wave, LVPECL or LVDS) or single-ended (LVCMOS).
The clock input of the device has an internal buffer/clock amplifier (see Figure 39) which is enabled or disabled
automatically depending on the type of clock provided (autodetect feature). When enabled, the device will
consume 6mW more power from the AVDD18 supply rail, but it will also accept differential or single ended inputs
of smaller swing.

Figure 39. Internal Clock Buffer for Differential Clock Mode
If the preferred clocking scheme for the device is single-ended, CLKINM pin should be connected to ground, i.e.,
shorted directly to AVSS (see Figure 41). In this case, the autodetect feature will shut down the internal clock
buffer and the device will go into single-ended clock input automatically. The user should connect the
single-ended clock source directly (no decoupling) to CLKINP pin, which would be the only device clock input. In
that case, it is recommended the use of low jitter square signals (LVCMOS levels, 1.8V amplitude) to drive the
ADC (see SLYT075 for further details on the theory).

For single ended sinusoidal clocks or for differential clocks (differential sinewave, LVPECL, LVDS…), the clock
amplifier should be enabled. For that, the connection scheme of Figure 40 should be used. The common-mode
voltage of the clock source should match one of the clock inputs of the AFE5801 (VCM) which is set internally
using 5kΩ resistors, as shown in Figure 39. The easiest way to ensure this is to AC couple the inputs as shown
in Figure 40. The same scheme applies to the case where the clock is single ended but its amplitude is small or
its edges are not sharp (for instance, with a sinusoidal single-ended clock). In this case, the input clock signal
can be connected with a capacitor to CLKINP (as in Figure 40) and the CLKINM should be connected to ground
also through a capacitor, i.e., AC coupled to AVSS.

DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The conversion results from all eight ADCs are serialized and output using one LVDS data pair per ADC, at 12
times the device input clock rate. Besides that, two more LVDS pairs are used to facilitate the interface to the
circuit reading the ADC output. For one side, a reference frame LVDS signal running at the input clock rate
indicates the beginning and end of the sample word. On top of that, the device outputs a reference clock running
at 6 times the input clock rate, with rise and fall times aligned with the individual bits. See the Output Interface
Timing section for a description of the timing diagram as well as details on the timing margins.
Figure 43 represents the device LVDS output circuit. Observe that for an LVDS output high (OUTP = 1.375V,
OUTM = 1.025V) the high switches would be closed and the low switches would be open. For LVDS output low
(OUTP = 1.025V, OUTM = 1.375V) the low switches would be closed and the high left open. As the high and low
switches have a nominal RON of 50Ω ±10%, notice that the output impedance will be nominally 100Ω in any of
those two configurations (high or low switches closed).

POWER SUPPLIES
The use of low noise power supplies with adequate decoupling is recommended, being the linear supplies the
first choice vs switched ones, which tend to generate more noise components that can be coupled to the
AFE5801.
There is no need of any type of power-up sequencing, although a positive pulse must be applied to the Reset pin
once the power supplies are considered stable (see Serial Interface Section)
There are several types of powerdown modes. On the standby mode all circuits but the reference generator are
powered-down. This enables for a fast recovery from power down to full operation. On the full power down mode,
all the blocks are powered down (except some digital circuits). The power savings are bigger but the power-up
will also be slower (see specification tables for more details). The device includes also the possibility of powering
down pairs of channels (corresponding to the same ADC) through the use of PDN_Channel<7:0> and powering
down the LVDS outputs by using PDN_LVDS.
Finally, notice that the metallic heat sink under the package is also connected to analog ground.
LAYOUT INFORMATION
The evaluation board represents a good guideline of how to layout the board to obtain the maximum
performance out of the AFE5801. General design rules as the use of multilayer boards, single ground plane for
both, analog and digital ADC ground connections, and local decoupling ceramic chip capacitors should be
applied. The input traces should be isolated from any external source of interference or noise, including the
digital outputs as well as the clock traces. Clock should also be isolated from other signals although the low
frequencies of the input signal relaxes the jitter requirements.
In order to maintain proper LVDS timing, all LVDS traces should follow a controlled impedance design (for
example, 100Ω differential). In addition, all LVDS trace lengths should be equal and symmetrical. It is
recommended to keep trace length variations less than 150mil (0.150in or 3.81mm).
It is necessary to solder the exposed pad at the bottom of the package to a ground plane for best thermal
performance. For detailed information, see application notes QFN Layout Guidelines (SLOA122A) and QFN/SON
PCB Attachment (SLUA271A).

DEFINITION OF SPECIFICATIONS
Analog Bandwidth – The analog input frequency at which the power of the fundamental is reduced by 3 dB with
respect to the low frequency value.
Aperture Delay –The delay in time between the rising or the falling edge of the input sampling clock (depending
on the channel) and the actual time at which the sampling occurs. This delay will be different across channels.
The maximum variation is specified as aperture delay variation (channel-channel).
Aperture Uncertainty (Jitter) – The sample-to-sample variation in aperture delay.
Clock Pulse Width/Duty Cycle – The duty cycle of a clock signal is the ratio of the time the clock signal remains
at a logic high (clock pulse width) to the period of the clock signal. Duty cycle is typically expressed as a
percentage. A perfect differential sine-wave clock results in a 50% duty cycle.
Maximum Conversion Rate – The maximum sampling rate at which certified operation is given. All parametric
testing is performed at this sampling rate unless otherwise noted.
Minimum Conversion Rate – The minimum sampling rate at which the ADC functions.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) – An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions at analog input values spaced exactly
1 LSB apart. The DNL is the deviation of any single step from this ideal value, measured in units of LSBs.
Integral Nonlinearity (INL) – The INL is the deviation of the ADC's transfer function from a best fit line
determined by a least squares curve fit of that transfer function, measured in units of LSBs.
Gain Error – The difference between the actual gain of a channel & its ideal (theoretical) gain, i.e., the error in
the absolute gain of the channel.
Gain Matching – The gain difference between two channels with same theoretical gain setting. For perfect
matching, the difference should be zero. On the context of this device, the gain matching is obtained in two
different ways:
1. The values on the specification table represent the expected gain matching between any two channels on
the system. The gain is measured on every channel of every device, for a given gain setting, at any
temperature. The difference between the maximum recorded gain and the minimum recorded gain
represents the gain matching at that given gain setting. The same is done for every gain setting and the
maximum difference for any gain setting is presented on the table.
2. The gain matching histogram represents the channel to channel matching inside the same device, i.e., the
maximum expected gain difference between any two channels of the same device, or in other words, the
peak-to-peak variation of absolute gains across all channels in the device. At a given gain setting for all the
channels of a given device (at one temperature assumed common to the whole device), the difference
between the channel with maximum gain and the channel with minimum gain represents one count. The
same thing is done for all the devices and for 3 temperatures (–40C, 25C and 85C). Every measurement of a
device at one given temperature represents one count.
Offset Error – The offset error is the difference, given in mV, between the ADC's actual average idle-channel
output code and the ideal average idle-channel output code.
Temperature Drift – The temperature drift coefficient (with respect to gain error and offset error) specifies the
change per degree Celsius of the parameter from TMIN to TMAX. It is calculated by dividing the maximum deviation
of the parameter across the TMIN to TMAX range by the difference TMAX – TMIN.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio – SNR is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS) to the noise floor power (PN),
excluding the power at DC and the first nine harmonics.
P
SNR + 10Log10 S
PN
(1)
SNR is either given in units of dBc (dB to carrier) when the absolute power of the fundamental is used as the
reference, or dBFS (dB to full scale) when the power of the fundamental is extrapolated to the full-scale
converter range.
Signal-to-Noise and Distortion (SINAD) – SINAD is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS) to the power
of all the other spectral components including noise (PN) and distortion (PD), but excluding dc.

Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) – The ENOB is a measure the performance of a converter as compared to
the theoretical limit based on quantization noise.

Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) – SFDR is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS) to the highest
FFT bin, harmonic or not, excluding DC. SFDR is typically given in units of dBc (dB to carrier).
Second Harmonic Distortion (HD2) – HD2 is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS) to the second
harmonic, typically given in units of dBc (dB to carrier).
Third Harmonic Distortion (HD3) –HD3 is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS) to the third harmonic,
typically given in units of dBc (dB to carrier).
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) – THD is the ratio of the power of the fundamental (PS) to the power of the
first nine harmonics (PD).

voltage. In this datasheet, if ΔVSUP represents the change in supply voltage and ΔVOUT is the resultant change
of the ADC output code (referred to the input), then:
