These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
DESCRIPTION
The AFE5809 is a highly integrated Analog Front-End (AFE) solution specifically designed for ultrasound
systems in which high performance and small size are required. The AFE5809 integrates a complete time-gaincontrol (TGC) imaging path and a continuous wave Doppler (CWD) path. It also enables users to select one of
various power/noise combinations to optimize system performance. Therefore, the AFE5809 is a suitable
ultrasound analog front end solution not only for high-end systems, but also for portable ones.
The AFE5809 contains eight channels of voltage controlled amplifier (VCA), 14, and 12-bit Analog-to-Digital
Converter (ADC), and CW mixer. The VCA includes Low noise Amplifier(LNA), Voltage controlled
Attenuator(VCAT), Programmable Gain Amplifier(PGA), and Low-Pass Filter (LPF). The LNA gain is
programmable to support 250 mVPP to 1 VPP input signals. Programmable active termination is also supported by
the LNA. The ultra-low noise VCAT provides an attenuation control range of 40 dB and improves overall low gain
SNR which benefits harmonic imaging and near field imaging. The PGA provides gain options of 24 dB and 30
dB. Before the ADC, a LPF can be configured as 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz or 30 MHz to support ultrasound
applications with different frequencies. In addition, the signal chain of the AFE5809 can handle signal frequency
lower than 100 KHz, which enables the AFE5809 to be used in both sonar and medical applications. The highperformance 14 bit/65 MSPS ADC in the AFE5809 achieves 77 dBFS SNR. It ensures excellent SNR at low
chain gain. The ADC’s LVDS outputs enable flexible system integration desired for miniaturized systems.
The AFE5809 integrates a low power passive mixer and a low noise summing amplifier to accomplish on-chip
CWD beamformer. 16 selectable phase-delays can be applied to each analog input signal. Meanwhile a unique
3rd and 5th order harmonic suppression filter is implemented to enhance CW sensitivity.
AFE5809 also includes a digital in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) demodulator and a low-pass decimation filter. The
main purpose of the demodulation block is to reduce the LVDS data rate and improve overall system power
efficiency. The I/Q demodulator can accept ADC output with up to 65 MSPS sampling rate and 14 bit resolution.
For example, after digital demodulation and 4× decimation filtering, the data rate for either in-phase or
quadrature output is reduced to 16.25 MSPS and the data resolution is improved to 16bit consequently. Hence,
the overall LVDS trace reduction can be a factor of 2. This demodulator can be bypassed and powered down
completely if it is not needed.
The AFE5809 is available in a 15mm × 9mm, 135-pin BGA package and it is specified for operation from 0°C to
85°C.

In the 16X operation mode, the CW operation range is limited to 8MHz due to the 16X CLK. The maximum clock frequency for the 16X
CLK is 128MHz. In the 8X, 4X, and 1X modes, higher CW signal frequencies up to 15 MHz can be supported with small degradation in
performance, see application information: CW clock selection

The DC specifications refer to the condition where the LVDS outputs are not switching, but are permanently at a valid logic level 0 or 1
with 100Ω external termination.
Setup and hold time specifications take into account the effect of jitter on the output data and clock. These specifications also assume
that the data and clock paths are perfectly matched within the receiver. Any mismatch in these paths within the receiver would appear
as reduced timing margins

FCLK timing is the same as for the output data lines. It has the same relation to DCLK as the data pins. Setup and hold are the same
for the data and the frame clock.
Data valid is logic HIGH = +100 mV and logic LOW = -100 mV
Timing parameters are ensured by design and characterization; not production tested.
NOTE
The above timing data can be applied to 12-bit or 16-bit LVDS rates as well. For example,
the maximum LVDS output rate at 65MHz and 14-bit is equal to 910 MSPS, which is
approximately equivalent to the rate at 56 MHz and 16-bit.

LVDS Output Interface Description
AFE5809 has LVDS output interface which supports multiple output formats. The ADC resolutions can be
configured as 12bit or 14bit as shown in the LVDS timing diagrams Figure 61. The ADCs in the AFE5809 are
running at 14bit; 2 LSBs are removed when 12-bit output is selected; and two 0s are added at LSBs when 16-bit
output is selected. Appropriate ADC resolutions can be selected for optimizing system performance-cost
effectiveness. When the devices run at 16bit mode, higher end FPGAs are required to process higher rate of
LVDS data. Corresponding register settings are listed in Table 1.

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Operation
Serial Register Write Description
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. All these pins have a pull-down
resistor to GND of 20kΩ . 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. If the word length exceeds a multiple of 24 bits, the excess bits
are ignored. Data can be loaded in multiple of 24-bit 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 the SCLK
frequency from 20 MHz down to low speeds (few Hertz) and even with non-50% duty cycle SCLK. The data is
divided into two main portions: a register address (8 bits) and the data itself (16 bits), to load on the addressed
register. When writing to a register with unused bits, these should be set to 0. Figure 62 illustrates this process.

Serial Register Readout
The device includes an option where the contents of the internal registers can be read back. This may be useful
as a diagnostic test to verify the serial interface communication between the external controller and the AFE.
First, the <REGISTER READOUT ENABLE> bit (Reg0[1]) needs to be set to '1'. Then user should initiate a
serial interface cycle specifying the address of the register (A7-A0) whose content has to be read. The data bits
are "don’t care". The device will output the contents (D15-D0) of the selected register on the SDOUT pin.
SDOUT has a typical delay, t8, of 20nS from the falling edge of the SCLK. For lower speed SCLK, SDOUT can
be latched on the rising edge of SCLK. For higher speed SCLK,e.g. the SCLK period lesser than 60nS, it is
better to latch the SDOUT at the next falling edge of SCLK. The following timing diagram shows this operation
(the time specifications follow the same information provided. In the readout mode, users still can access the
<REGISTER READOUT ENABLE> through SDATA/SCLK/SEN. To enable serial register writes, set the
<REGISTER READOUT ENABLE> bit back to '0'.

ADC and VCA Register Description
A reset process is required at the AFE5809 initialization stage. Initialization can be done in one of two ways:
1. Through a hardware reset, by applying a positive pulse in the RESET pin
2. 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).
After reset, all ADC and VCA registers are set to '0', that is default setting. During register programming, all
unlisted register bits need to be set as '0'.
Note some demodulator registers are set as '1' after reset. During register programming, all unlisted register bits
need to be set as '0'. In addtion, the demodulator registers can be reset when 0x16[0] is set as '0'. Thus it is
required to reconfigure the demodulator registers after toggling the 0x16[0] from '1' to '0'.

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
ADC_OUTPUT_FORMAT: Address: 4[3]
The ADC output, by default, is in 2’s-complement mode. Programming the ADC_OUTPUT_FORMAT bit to 1
inverts the MSB, and the output becomes straight-offset binary mode. When the demodulation feature is
enabled, only 2's complement format can be selected.
ADC Reference Mode: Address 1[13] & 3[15]
The following shows the regester settings for the ADC internal reference mode and external reference mode.
• 0x1[13] 0x3[15]=00: ADC internal reference mode, VREF_IN floating (pin M3)
• 0x1[13] 0x3[15]=01: N/A
• 0x1[13] 0x3[15]=10: N/A
• 0x1[13] 0x3[15]=11: ADC external eference mode, VREF_IN=1.4V (pin M3)
DIGITAL_GAIN_ENABLE: Address: 3[12]
Setting this bit to 1 applies to each channel i the corresponding gain given by DIGTAL_GAIN_CHi <15:11>. The
gain is given as 0dB + 0.2dB × DIGTAL_GAIN_CHi<15:11>. For instance, if DIGTAL_GAIN_CH5<15:11> = 3,
channel 5 is increased by 0.6dB gain. DIGTAL_GAIN_CHi <15:11> = 31 produces the same effect as
DIGTAL_GAIN_CHi <15:11> = 30, setting the gain of channel i to 6dB.

These digital HPF registers (one for the first four channels and one for the second group of four channels)
describe the setting of K. The digital high pass filter can be used to suppress low frequency noise which
commonly exists in ultrasound echo signals. The digital filter can significantly benefit near field recovery time due
to T/R switch low frequency response. Table 3 shows the cut-off frequency vs K.

LOW_FREQUENCY_NOISE_SUPPRESSION: Address: 1[11]
The low-frequency noise suppression mode is especially 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 AFE5809 to approximately Fs/2, thereby moving the noise floor around dc to a much lower value. Register bit
1[11] is used for enabling or disabling this feature. When this feature is enabled, power consumption of the
device will be increased slightly by approximate 1mW/CH.
LVDS_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 1X (LVDS_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
CHANNEL_OFFSET_SUBSTRACTION_ENABLE: Address: 3[8]
Setting this bit to 1 enables the subtraction of the value on the corresponding OFFSET_CHx<9:0> (offset for
channel i) from the ADC output. The number is specified in 2s-complement format. For example,
OFFSET_CHx<9:0> = 11 1000 0000 means subtract –128. For OFFSET_CHx<9:0> = 00 0111 1111 the effect is
to subtract 127. In effect, both addition and subtraction can be performed. Note that the offset is applied before
the digital gain (see DIGITAL_GAIN_ENABLE). The whole data path is 2s-complement throughout internally, with
digital gain being the last step. Only when ADC_OUTPUT_FORMAT = 1 (straight binary output format) is the 2scomplement word translated into offset binary at the end.
SERIALIZED_DATA_RATE: Address: 3[14:13]
Please see Table 1 for detail description.
TEST_PATTERN_MODES: Address: 2[15:13]
The AFE5809 can output a variety of test patterns on the LVDS outputs. These test patterns replace the normal
ADC data output. The device may also be made to output 6 preset patterns:
1. Ramp: Setting Register 2[15:13]=111causes all the channels to output a repeating full-scale ramp pattern.
The ramp increments from zero code to full-scale code in steps of 1LSB every clock cycle. After hitting the
full-scale code, it returns back to zero code and ramps again.
2. Zeros: The device can be programmed to output all zeros by setting Register 2[15:13]=110;
3. Ones: The device can be programmed to output all 1s by setting Register 2[15:13]=100;
4. Deskew Patten: When 2[15:13]= 010; this mode replaces the 14-bit ADC output with the 01010101010101

word.
5. Sync Pattern: When 2[15:13]= 001, the normal ADC output is replaced by a fixed 11111110000000 word.
6. Toggle: When 2[15:13]=101, the normal ADC output is alternating between 1's and 0's. The start state of
ADC word can be either 1's or 0's.
7. Custom Pattern: It can be enabled when 2[15:13]= 011;. Users can write the required VALUE into register
bits <CUSTOM PATTERN> which is Register 5[13:0]. Then the device will output VALUE at its outputs,
about 3 to 4 ADC clock cycles after the 24th rising edge of SCLK. So, the time taken to write one value is 24
SCLK clock cycles + 4 ADC clock cycles. To change the customer pattern value, users can repeat writing
Register 5[13:0] with a new value. Due to the speed limit of SPI, the refresh rate of the custom pattern may
not be high. For example, 128 points custom pattern will take approximately 128 x (24 SCLK clock cycles + 4
ADC clock cycles).
NOTE
only one of the above patterns can be active at any given instant.
SYNC_PATTERN: Address: 10[8]
By enabling this bit, all channels' test pattern outputs are synchronized. When 10[8] is set as 1, the ramp
patterns of all 8 channels start simultaneously.

LNA Input Impedances Configuration (Active Termination Programmability)
Different LNA input impedances can be configured through the register 52[4:0]. By enabling and disabling the
feedback resistors between LNA outputs and ACTx pins, LNA input impedance is adjustable accordingly. Table 5
describes the relationship between LNA gain and 52[4:0] settings. The input impedance settings are the same for
both TGC and CW paths.
The AFE5809 also has 4 preset active termination impedances as described in 52[7:6]. An internal decoder is
used to select appropriate resistors corresponding to different LNA gain.

Programmable Phase Delay for CW Mixer
Accurate CW beamforming is achieved through adjusting the phase delay of each channel. In the AFE5809, 16
different phase delays can be applied to each LNA output; and it meets the standard requirement of typical
1
λ
ultrasound beamformer, that is 16 beamformer resolution. Table 6 describes the relationship between the

SLOS738C – SEPTEMBER 2012 – REVISED JANUARY 2013
SPI Interface for Demodulator
Demodulator is enabled after software or hardware reset. It can be disabled by setting the LSB of register 0x16
as '1'. This is done using the ADC SPI interface, that is SPI_DIG_EN=1. The demodulator SPI interface is
independent from the ADC/VCA SPI interface as shown in Figure 66:
Figure 66. SPI Interface in the AFE5809
To access the specific demodulator registers:
1. SPI_DIG_EN pin is required to be set as '0' during SPI transactions to demodulator registers. Meanwhile
ADC SEN needs to be set as '0' during demodulator SPI programming.
2. SPI register address is 8 bits and is made of 2 sub-chip select bits and 6 register address bits. SPI register
data is 16bits.
Table 10. Register Address Bit Description
Bit7
Bit6
Bit 5:0
SCID1_SEL
SCID0_SEL
Register Address <5:0>
3. SCID0_SEL enables configuration of channels 1-4. 'SCID1_SEL' enables configuration of channels 5-7.
When performing Demodulator SPI write transactions, these SCID bits can be individually or mutually used
with a specific register address.
4. Register configuration is normally shared by both subchips (both 'SCID' bits should be set as '1'). An
exception to this rule would be the DC OFFSET registers (0x14-0x17) for which specific channel access is
expected.

Named as A, B, C, D
5. Demodulator register readout follows the following procedures:
– Write '1' to register 0x0[1]; pin SPI_DIG_EN should be '0' while writing. This is the readout enable register
for demodulator.
– Write '1' to register 0x0[1], pin SPI_DIG_EN should be '1' while writing.This is the readout enable register
for ADC and VCA.
– Set SPI_DIG_EN as '0' and write anything to the register whose stored data needs to be known. Device
finds the address of the register and sends its stored data at the SDOUT pin serially.
NOTE
After enabling the register 0x0[1] REGISTER_READOUT_ENABLE, data can't be
written to the register (whose data needs to be known) but stored data would come
serially at the SDOUT pin.
– To disable the register readout, first write '0' to register 0x0[1] while SPI_DIG_EN is '1'; then write '0' to
register 0x0[1] while SPI_DIG_EN is '0'.

1. Serializer Configuration:
– Serialization Factor 0x03[14:13]: It can be set using demodulator register SERZ_FACTOR. Default
serialization factor for the demodulator is 16x. However, the actual LVDS clock speed can be set by the
serialization factor in the ADC SPI interface as well; the ADC serialization factor is adjusted to 14x by
default. Therefore, it is necessary to sync these two settings when demodulator is enabled, that is set the
ADC register 0x03[14:13]=01.
– Output Resolution 0x03[11:9]: In the default setting, it is 14 bit. The demodulator output resolution
depends on the decimation factor. 16 bit resolution can be used when higher decimation factor is
selected.
2. Channel Selection:
– Using register MODULATE_BYPASS 0x0A[14], channel output mode can be selected as IQ modulated or
single channel I or Q output.
– Channel output is also selected using registers OUTPUT_CHANNEL_SEL 0x0A[11]&
FULL_LVDS_MODE 0x0A[9] and decimation factor.
– Each of two demodulator sub-chips in a device has 4 channels named as A, B, C, D. After decimation,
the LVDS FCLK rate keeps the same as the ADC sampling rate. Considering the reduced data amount,
zeros will be appended after I and Q data and ensure the LVDS data rate matches the LVDS clock rate.
For detailed information about channel multiplexing, see Table 13. In the table, A.I refers to CHA In-phase

output, and A.Q refers to CHA Quadrature output.
3. Output Mode:
– Using register OUT_MODE, ramp pattern and custom pattern can be enabled.
– Custom Pattern: In case of custom pattern, custom pattern value can be set using register
CUSTOM_PATTERN. Please Note: LSB always comes out first no matter 0x04[4]=0 or 1, that is
MSB_FIRST= 0 or 1.
– Ramp Pattern: Demodulator generated ramp pattern includes information of chip_id as well. 8 MSB (that
is Data[15..8]) bits are ramp pattern. Next 5 bits (that is Data[3..7]) gives value of chip ID. Data[2]
corresponds to sub-chip ID, 0 or 1; Data[1:0] are filled with zeros.

Decimation block can be bypassed using register DEC_BYPASS.
Decimation Factor: This can be set using "Decimation Factor (M)" parameter of profile vector. Alternatively it
can be set using registers MANUAL_DEC_FACTOR_EN and MANUAL_DEC_FACTOR.
Filter Coefficients: Filter coefficients should be written to coefficient RAM (check Coefficient RAM section
above). Format of filter coefficient is 2’s compliment. Its address pointer should be given in profile vector or
alternatively registers MANUAL_COEFF_START_EN and MANUAL_COEFF_START_ADDR can be used.
Filter Digital Gain: Decimation block takes 14 bit input data and 14 bit input coefficients and gives 36 bit
output internally. While implementing this FIR filter, after multiplication and addition, the 36 bit internal filter
output should be scaled approximately to make final demod output as 16 bit, that is applying digital gain or
attenuation. Filter gain or attenuation depends on two parameters: Decimation Shift Scale and Gain
Compensation factor.
Decimation Shift Scale can be chosen using register DEC_SHIFT_SCALE. Gain Compensation factor can be
given to "Gain Compensation Factor (G)" parameter of Profile Vector; or can be given using registers
DEC_SHIFT_FORCE_EN and DEC_SHIFT_FORCE.
The internal 36 bit filter output is right shifted by N bits, where N equals to
– 20-G when Dec_Shift_Scale=0.
– 20-G-2 when Dec_Shift_Scale=1.
The minimal gain occurs when G=0 and DEC_SHIFT_SCALE=0. The total scaling range can be a factor of
29, that is ~54 dB.

saturation.
C is 7 bit signed value for DC offset control.
The controlling values fit into one 16bit register. This test pattern shall allow testing of demodulation,
decimation filter, DC removal, gain control, and so on.
2. Coefficient output test mode:
– The Input to the decimating filter can be replaced with a sequence of "one impulse" and "zero" samples,
where "one impulse(that is 0x4000)" is followed by (16 x M) "zeros (that is 0 × 0000)".

Profile RAM and Coefficient RAM
Writing data to Profile RAM and Coefficient RAM is similar to registers. Both RAMs do not get reset after
resetting the device. RAM does not have default values, so it is necessary to write required values to RAM. RAM
address values needs to be given to pointer register that points to the location wherever data needs to be written.
Since both RAMs are part of Demodulator, SPI_DIG_EN should be low while writing.
It is recommended to program the RAMs before configuring other registers.

• Since Decimation block uses 16 x M tap FIR filter and filter coefficients are symmetric, only half (that is 8 x M)
filter coefficients are necessary to be stored (M is the decimation factor). Each 8 coefficient block that is
written to the memory represents a single phase of a polyphase filter. Therefore; the relation between the
filter coefficients Cn and their index (i,j) in the coefficients memory is given by:
n = M x (1 + I) − (1 + j)

where I is the index in the coefficients block, from 0 to 7, and j is the block index, from 0 to (M-1) .

• Coefficient start address can be given using "Pointer to Coeff Memory (P)" parameter of profile RAM.
Alternatively start address can be given using register MANUAL_COEFF_START_ADDR. (While using this
register, register enable bit MANUAL_COEFF_START_EN should be set to '1').
Register Readout
While reading data from Demodulator registers Procedure:
• Write '1' to register 0x0[1]; pin SPI_DIG_EN should be '0' while writing, that is it is the readout enable register
for demodulator.
• Write '1' to register 0x0[1]; pin SPI_DIG_EN should be '1' while writing, that is it is the readout enable register
for VCA and ADC.
• Put SPI_DIG_EN 'low' and write anything to the register whose stored data needs to be known. Device finds
the address of the register and sends its stored data at the SDOUT pin serially. Note: After enabling the
register 0x0[1] REGISTER_READOUT_ENABLE, register data can not be written to the register, whose data
needs to be known. The stored data would come serially at the SDOUT pin.
• To disable the register readout, first write '0' to register 0x0[1] while SPI_DIG_EN is high; then write '0' to
register 0x0[1] while SPI_DIG_EN is low.
LVDS Serialization Factor
Default serialization factor for the demodulator is 16×. However, the actual LVDS clock speed is set by the
serialization factor in the ADC SPI interface and is adjusted to 14× serialization by default. It is therefore
necessary to sync these two settings when demodulator is enabled. When using the default demodulator
serialization factor, register 0x03[14:13] in the ADC SPI interface should be set to '01'. For RF mode (passing 14
bits only), demodulator serialization factor can be changed to 14x by setting demodulator register 0xC3[14:13] to
'10'.

THEORY OF OPERATION
AFE5809 OVERVIEW
The AFE5809 is a highly integrated Analog Front-End (AFE) solution specifically designed for ultrasound
systems in which high performance and small size are required. The AFE5809 integrates a complete time-gaincontrol (TGC) imaging path and a continuous wave Doppler (CWD) path. It also enables users to select one of
various power/noise combinations to optimize system performance. The AFE5809 contains eight channels; each
channels includes a Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA), a Voltage Controlled Attenuator (VCAT), a Programmable Gain
Amplifier (PGA), a Low-pass Filter (LPF), a 14-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), a digital I/Q demodulator,
and a CW mixer.
Multiple features in the AFE5809 are suitable for ultrasound applications, such as active termination, individual
channel control, fast power up/down response, programmable clamp voltage control, fast and consistent
overload recovery, and so on. Therefore, the AFE5809 brings premium image quality to ultraportable, handheld
systems all the way up to high-end ultrasound systems.
In addition, the signal chain of the AFE5809 can handle signal frequency as low as 50KHz and as high as 30
MHz. This enables the AFE5809 to be used in both sonar and medical applications.
The simplified function block diagram is shown in Figure 71.

LOW-NOISE AMPLIFIER (LNA)
In many high-gain systems, a low noise amplifier is critical to achieve overall performance. Using a new
proprietary architecture, the LNA in the AFE5809 delivers exceptional low-noise performance, while operating on
a low quiescent current compared to CMOS-based architectures with similar noise performance. The LNA
performs single-ended input to differential output voltage conversion. It is configurable for a programmable gain
of 24, 18. 12 dB and its input-referred noise is only 0.63, 0.70, 0.9nV/√Hz respectively. Programmable gain
settings result in a flexible linear input range up to 1 Vpp, realizing high signal handling capability demanded by
new transducer technologies. Larger input signal can be accepted by the LNA; however the signal can be
distorted since it exceeds the LNA’s linear operation region. Combining the low noise and high input range, a
wide input dynamic range is achieved consequently for supporting the high demands from various ultrasound
imaging modes.
The LNA input is internally biased at approximately +2.4 V; the signal source should be ac-coupled to the LNA
input by an adequately-sized capacitor, e.g. ≥ 0.1µF. To achieve low DC offset drift, the AFE5809 incorporates a
DC offset correction circuit for each amplifier stage. To improve the overload recovery, an integrator circuit is
used to extract the DC component of the LNA output and then fed back to the LNA’s complementary input for DC
offset correction. This DC offset correction circuit has a high-pass response and can be treated as a high-pass
filter. The effective corner frequency is determined by the capacitor CBYPASS connected at INM. With larger
capacitors, the corner frequency is lower. For stable operation at the highest HP filer cut-off frequency, a ≥ 15 nF

capacitor can be selected. This corner frequency scales almost linearly with the value of the CBYPASS. For
example, 15 nF gives a corner frequency of approximately 100 kHz, while 47 nF can give an effective corner
frequency of 33 KHz. The DC offset correction circuit can also be disabled/enabled through register 52[12]. A
large capacitor like 1 µF can be used for setting low corner frequency (<2 KHz) of the LNA DC offset correction
circuit. Figure 60 shows the frequency responses for low frequency applicaitons.
The AFE5809 can be terminated passively or actively. Active termination is preferred in ultrasound application for
reducing reflection from mismatches and achieving better axial resolution without degrading noise figure too
much. Active termination values can be preset to 50, 100, 200, 400 Ω; other values also can be programmed by
users through register 52[4:0]. A feedback capacitor is required between ACTx and the signal source as
Figure 72 shows. On the active termination path, a clamping circuit is also used to create a low impedance path
when overload signal is seen by the AFE5809. The clamp circuit limits large input signals at the LNA inputs and
improves the overload recovery performance of the AFE5809. The clamp level can be set to 350mVpp, 600
mVpp, 1.15 Vpp automatically depending on the LNA gain settings when register 52[10:9]=0. Other clamp
voltages, such as 1.15 Vpp, 0.6 Vpp, and 1.5 Vpp, are also achievable by setting register 52[10:9]. This clamping
circuit is also designed to obtain good pulse inversion performance and reduce the impact from asymmetric
inputs.

average gain loss in dB (refer to Figure 3) is constant for each equal increment of the control voltage (VCNTL) as
shown in Figure 73. A differential control structure is used to reduce common mode noise. A simplified attenuator
structure is shown in the following Figure 73 and Figure 74.
The attenuator is essentially a variable voltage divider that consists of the series input resistor (RS) and seven
shunt FETs placed in parallel and controlled by sequentially activated clipping amplifiers (A1 through A7). VCNTL
is the effective difference between VCNTLP and VCNTLM. Each clipping amplifier can be understood as a
specialized voltage comparator with a soft transfer characteristic and well-controlled output limit voltage.
Reference voltages V1 through V7 are equally spaced over the 0V to 1.5Vcontrol voltage range. As the control
voltage increases through the input range of each clipping amplifier, the amplifier output rises from a voltage
where the FET is nearly OFF to VHIGH where the FET is completely ON. As each FET approaches its ON state
and the control voltage continues to rise, the next clipping amplifier/FET combination takes over for the next
portion of the piecewise-linear attenuation characteristic. Thus, low control voltages have most of the FETs
turned OFF, producing minimum signal attenuation. Similarly, high control voltages turn the FETs ON, leading to
maximum signal attenuation. Therefore, each FET acts to decrease the shunt resistance of the voltage divider
formed by Rs and the parallel FET network.

Additionally, a digitally controlled TGC mode is implemented to achieve better phase-noise performance in the
AFE5809. The attenuator can be controlled digitally instead of the analog control voltage VCNTL. This mode can
be set by the register bit 59[7]. The variable voltage divider is implemented as a fixed series resistance and FET
as the shunt resistance. Each FET can be turned ON by connecting the switches SW1-7. Turning on each of the
switches can give approximately 6 dB of attenuation. This can be controlled by the register bits 59[6:4]. This
digital control feature can eliminate the noise from the VCNTL circuit and ensure the better SNR and phase noise
for the TGC path.

The voltage controlled attenuator’s noise follows a monotonic relationship to the attenuation coefficient. AAt
higher attenuation, the input-referred noise is higher and vice-versa. The attenuator’s noise is then amplified by
the PGA and becomes the noise floor at ADC input. In the attenuator’s high attenuation operating range, that is
VCNTL is high, the attenuator’s input noise may exceed the LNA output noise; the attenuator then becomes the
dominant noise source for the following PGA stage and ADC. Therefore, the attenuator noise should be
minimized compared to the LNA output noise. The AFE5809 attenuator is designed for achieving very low noise
even at high attenuation (low channel gain) and realizing better SNR in near field. The input referred noise for
different attenuations is listed in Table 23:

PROGRAMMABLE GAIN AMPLIFIER (PGA)
After the voltage controlled attenuator, a programmable gain amplifier can be configured as 24dB or 30dB with a
constant input referred noise of 1.75 nV/rtHz. The PGA structure consists of a differential voltage-to-current
converter with programmable gain, clamping circuits, a transimpedance amplifier with a programmable low-pass
filter, and a DC offset correction circuit. Its simplified block diagram is shown in Figure 75.

Low input noise is always preferred in a PGA and its noise contribution should not degrade the ADC SNR too
much after the attenuator. At the minimum attenuation (used for small input signals), the LNA noise dominates; at
the maximum attenuation (large input signals), the PGA and ADC noise dominates. Thus 24 dB gain of PGA
achieves better SNR as long as the amplified signals can exceed the noise floor of the ADC.
The PGA clamping circuit can be enabled (register 51) to improve the overload recovery performance of the
AFE. If we measure the standard deviation of the output just after overload, for 0.5 V VCNTL, it is about 3.2 LSBs
in normal case, i.e the output is stable in about 1 clock cycle after overload. With the clamp disabled, the value
approaches 4 LSBs meaning a longer time duration before the output stabilizes; however, with the clamp
enabled, there will be degradation in HD3 for PGA output levels > -2dBFS. For example, for a –2 dBFS output
level, the HD3 degrades by approximately 3dB. In order to maximize the output dynamic range, the maximum
PGA output level can be above 2Vpp even with the clamp circuit enabled; the ADC in the AFE5809 has excellent
overload recovery performance to detect small signals right after the overload.
NOTE
In the low power and medium power modes, PGA_CLAMP is disabled for saving power if

The AFE5809 integrates an anti-aliasing filter in the form of a programmable low-pass filter (LPF) in the
transimpedance amplifier. The LPF is designed as a differential, active, 3rd order filter with Butterworth
characteristics and a typical 18dB per octave roll-off. Programmable through the serial interface, the –1 dB
frequency corner can be set to one of 10MHz, 15MHz, 20MHz, and 30MHz. The filter bandwidth is set for all
channels simultaneously.
A selectable DC offset correction circuit is implemented in the PGA as well. This correction circuit is similar to the
one used in the LNA. It extracts the DC component of the PGA outputs and feeds back to the PGA
complimentary inputs for DC offset correction. This DC offset correction circuit also has a high-pass response
with a cut-off frequency of 80 KHz.
ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER
The analog-to-digital converter (ADC) of the AFE5809 employs a pipelined converter architecture that consists of
a combination of multi-bit and single-bit internal stages. Each stage feeds its data into the digital error correction
logic, ensuring excellent differential linearity and no missing codes at the 14-bit level. The 14 bits given out by
each channel are serialized and sent out on a single pair of pins in LVDS format. All eight channels of the
AFE5809 operate from a common input clock (CLKP/M). The sampling clocks for each of the eight channels are
generated from the input clock using a carefully matched clock buffer tree. The 14x clock required for the

serializer is generated internally from the CLKP/M pins. A 7x and a 1x clock are also given out in LVDS format,
along with the data, to enable easy data capture. The AFE5809 operates from internally-generated reference
voltages that are trimmed to improve the gain matching across devices. The nominal values of REFP and REFM
are 1.5 V and 0.5 V, respectively. Alternately, the device also supports an external reference mode that can be
enabled using the serial interface.
Using serialized LVDS transmission has multiple advantages, such as a reduced number of output pins (saving
routing space on the board), reduced power consumption, and reduced effects of digital noise coupling to the
analog circuit inside the AFE5809.
CONTINUOUS-WAVE (CW) BEAMFORMER
Continuous-wave Doppler is a key function in mid-end to high-end ultrasound systems. Compared to the TGC
mode, the CW path needs to handle high dynamic range along with strict phase noise performance. CW
beamforming is often implemented in analog domain due to the mentioned strict requirements. Multiple
beamforming methods are being implemented in ultrasound systems, including passive delay line, active mixer,
and passive mixer. Among all of them, the passive mixer approach achieves optimized power and noise. It
satisfies the CW processing requirements, such as wide dynamic range, low phase noise, accurate gain and
phase matching.
A simplified CW path block diagram and an In-phase or Quadrature (I/Q) channel block diagram are illustrated
below respectively. Each CW channel includes a LNA, a voltage-to-current converter, a switch-based mixer, a
shared summing amplifier with a low-pass filter, and clocking circuits.
NOTE
The local oscillator inputs of the passive mixer are cos(ωt) for I-CH and sin(ωt) for Q-CH
respectively. Depending on users' CW Doppler complex FFT processing, swapping I/Q
channels in FPGA or DSP may be needed in order to get correct blood flow directions.
All blocks include well-matched in-phase and quadrature channels to achieve good image frequency rejection as
well as beamforming accuracy. As a result, the image rejection ratio from an I/Q channel is better than -46 dBc
which is desired in ultrasound systems.

The CW mixer in the AFE5809 is passive and switch based; passive mixer adds less noise than active mixers. It
achieves good performance at low power. Figure 78 and the equations describe the principles of mixer operation,
where Vi(t), Vo(t) and LO(t) are input, output and local oscillator (LO) signals for a mixer respectively. The LO(t)
is square-wave based and includes odd harmonic components as shown in Equation 4:

From the above equations, the 3rd and 5th order harmonics from the LO can interface with the 3rd and 5th order
harmonic signals in the Vi(t); or the noise around the 3rd and 5th order harmonics in the Vi(t). Therefore. the
mixer’s performance is degraded. In order to eliminate this side effect due to the square-wave demodulation, a
proprietary harmonic suppression circuit is implemented in the AFE5809. The 3rd and 5th harmonic components
from the LO can be suppressed by over 12 dB. Thus the LNA output noise around the 3rd and 5th order
harmonic bands will not be down-converted to base band. Hence, better noise figure is achieved. The conversion
loss of the mixer is about -4 dB which is derived from
20log10

The mixed current outputs of the 8 channels are summed together internally. An internal low noise operational
amplifier is used to convert the summed current to a voltage output. The internal summing amplifier is designed
to accomplish low power consumption, low noise, and ease of use. CW outputs from multiple AFE5809s can be
further combined on system board to implement a CW beamformer with more than 8 channels. More detail
information can be found in the application information section.
Multiple clock options are supported in the AFE5809 CW path. Two CW clock inputs are required: N × ƒcw clock
and 1 × ƒcw clock, where ƒcw is the CW transmitting frequency and N could be 16, 8, 4, or 1. Users have the
flexibility to select the most convenient system clock solution for the AFE5809. In the 16 × ƒcw and 8 × ƒcw
modes, the 3rd and 5th harmonic suppression feature can be supported. Thus the 16 × ƒcw and 8 × ƒcw modes
achieves better performance than the 4 × ƒcw and 1 × ƒcw modes
16 × ƒcw Mode
The 16 × ƒcw mode achieves the best phase accuracy compared to other modes. It is the default mode for CW
operation. In this mode, 16 × ƒcw and 1 × ƒcw clocks are required. 16×fcw generates LO signals with 16 accurate
phases. Multiple AFE5809s can be synchronized by the 1 × ƒcw , that is LO signals in multiple AFEs can have
the same starting phase. The phase noise spec is critical only for 16X clock. 1X clock is for synchronization only
and doesn’t require low phase noise. Please see the phase noise requirement in the section of application
information.
The top level clock distribution diagram is shown in the below Figure 79. Each mixer's clock is distributed through
a 16 × 8 cross-point switch. The inputs of the cross-point switch are 16 different phases of the 1x clock. It is
recommended to align the rising edges of the 1 x ƒcw and 16 x ƒcw clocks.
The cross-point switch distributes the clocks with appropriate phase delay to each mixer. For example, Vi(t) is a
1
received signal with a delay of 16

, a delayed LO(t) should be applied to the mixer in order to compensate for

Good phase accuracy and matching are also maintained. Quadature clock generator is used to create in-phase
and quadrature clocks with exact 90° phase difference. The only difference between 8 × ƒcw and 4 × ƒcw modes
is the accessibility of the 3rd and 5th harmonic suppression filter. In the 8 × ƒcw mode, the suppression filter can

be supported. In both modes, 16
phase delay resolution is achieved by weighting the in-phase and quadrature

paths correspondingly. For example, if a delay of
or 22.5° is targeted, the weighting coefficients should
follow the below equations, assuming Iin and Qin are sin(ω0t) and cos(ω0t) respectively:

Therefore, after I/Q mixers, phase delay in the received signals is compensated. The mixers’ outputs from all
channels are aligned and added linearly to improve the signal to noise ratio. It is preferred to have the 4 × ƒcw or
8 × ƒcw and 1 × ƒcw clocks aligned both at the rising edge.

DIGITAL I/Q DEMODULATOR
AFE5809 also includes a digital in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) demodulator and a low-pass decimation filter. The
main purpose of the demodulation block is to reduce the LVDS data rate and improve overall system power
efficiency. The I/Q demodulator accepts ADC output with up to 65MSPS sampling rate and 14 bit resolution. For
example, after digital demodulation and 4× decimation filtering, the data rate for either in-phase or quadrature
output is reduced to 16.25MSPS, and the data resolution is improved to 16 bit consequently. Hence, the overall
LVDS trace reduction can be a factor of 2. This demodulator can be bypassed and powered down completely if it
is not needed.
The digital demodulator block given in AFE5809 is designed to do down-conversion followed by decimation. The
top level block is divided into two exactly similar blocks: 1. Subchip0 2. Subchip1. Both sub-chips share 4
channels each that is sub-chip0 (ADC.1, ADC.2, ADC.3 and ADC.4) and sub-chip1 (ADC.5, ADC.6, ADC.7 and
ADC.8).

out I phase and Q phase respectively. cos(ωt) and -sin(ωt) are 14-bit wide plus a sign bit. ω = 2πf, f can be
set with resolution Fs /216, where Fs is the ADC sampling frequency.
NOTE
The digital demodulator is based on a conventional down converter, that is, -sin(ω0t) is
used for Q phase.
3. Decimator Block has two functions, Decimation Filter and Down Sampler. Decimation Filter is a variable
coefficient symmetric FIR filter and it's coefficients can be given using Coefficient RAM. Number of taps of
FIR filter is 16 x decimation factor (M). For decimation factor of M, 8M coefficients have to be stored in
Coefficient Bank. Each coefficient is 14 bit wide. Down-sampler gives out 1 sample followed by M-1 samples
zeros.

A typical application circuit diagram is listed in Figure 92. The configuration for each block is discussed below.
LNA CONFIGURATION
LNA Input Coupling and Decoupling
The LNA closed-loop architecture is internally compensated for maximum stability without the need of external
compensation components. The LNA inputs are biased at 2.4 V and AC coupling is required. A typical input
configuration is shown in Figure 93. CIN is the input AC coupling capacitor. CACT is a part of the active termination
feedback path. Even if the active termination is not used, the CACT is required for the clamp functionality.
Recommended values for CACT is ≥ 1 µF and CIN is ≥ 0.1 µF. A pair of clamping diodes is commonly placed
between the T/R switch and the LNA input. Schottky diodes with suitable forward drop voltage (e.g. the
BAT754/54 series, the BAS40 series, the MMBD7000 series, or similar) can be considered depending on the
transducer echo amplitude.

This architecture minimizes any loading of the signal source that may lead to a frequency-dependent voltage
divider. The closed-loop design yields low offsets and offset drift. CBYPASS (≥ 0.015 µF) is used to set the highpass filter cut-off frequency and decouple the complimentary input. Its cut-off frequency is inversely proportional
to the CBYPASS value, The HPF cut-off frequency can be adjusted through the register 59[3:2] a Table 24 lists.
Low frequency signals at T/R switch output, such as signals with slow ringing, can be filtered out. In addition, the
HPF can minimize system noise from DC-DC converters, pulse repetition frequency (PRF) trigger, and frame
clock. Most ultrasound systems’ signal processing unit includes digital high-pass filters or band-pass filters
(BPFs) in FPGAs or ASICs. Further noise suppression can be achieved in these blocks. In addition, a digital HPF
is available in the AFE5809 ADC. If low frequency signal detection is desired in some applications, the LNA HPF
can be disabled.

CM_BYP and VHIGH pins, which generate internal reference voltages, need to be decoupled with ≥1µF
capacitors. Bigger bypassing capacitors (>2.2µF) may be beneficial if low frequency noise exists in system.
LNA Noise Contribution
The noise spec is critical for LNA and it determines the dynamic range of entire system. The LNA of the
AFE5809 achieves low power and an exceptionally low-noise voltage of 0.63 nV/√Hz, and a low current noise of
2.7 pA/√Hz.
Typical ultrasonic transducer’s impedance Rs varies from tens of ohms to several hundreds of ohms. Voltage
noise is the dominant noise in most cases; however, the LNA current noise flowing through the source
impedance (Rs) generates additional voltage noise.

The AFE5809 achieves low noise figure (NF) over a wide range of source resistances as shown in Figure 33,
Figure 34, andFigure 35.
Active Termination
In ultrasound applications, signal reflection exists due to long cables between transducer and system. The
reflection results in extra ringing added to echo signals in PW mode. Since the axial resolution depends on echo
signal length, such ringing effect can degrade the axial resolution. Hence, either passive termination or active
termination, is preferred if good axial resolution is desired. Figure 94 shows three termination configurations:

Under the no termination configuration, the input impedance of the AFE5809 is about 6 KΩ (8 K//20pF) at 1 MHz.
Passive termination requires external termination resistor Rt, which contributes to additional thermal noise.
The LNA supports active termination with programmable values, as shown in Figure 95 .

Figure 95. Active Termination Implementation
The AFE5809 has four pre-settings 50,100, 200 and 400Ω which are configurable through the registers. Other
termination values can be realized by setting the termination switches shown in Figure 95. Register [52] is used
to enable these switches. The input impedance of the LNA under the active termination configuration
approximately follows:
ZIN =
Rf

Table 5 lists the LNA RINs under different LNA gains. System designers can achieve fine tuning for different
probes.
The equivalent input impedance is given by Equation 9 where RIN (8K) and CIN (20pF) are the input resistance
and capacitance of the LNA.
ZIN =
Rf
/ /CIN / /RIN

(9)
Therefore, the ZIN is frequency dependent and it decreases as frequency increases shown in Figure 11. Since 2
MHz to 10 MHz is the most commonly used frequency range in medical ultrasound, this rolling-off effect doesn’t
impact system performance greatly. Active termination can be applied to both CW and TGC modes. Since each
ultrasound system includes multiple transducers with different impedances, the flexibility of impedance
configuration is a great plus.
Figure 33, Figure 34, andFigure 35 shows the NF under different termination configurations. It indicates that no
termination achieves the best noise figure; active termination adds less noise than passive termination. Thus
termination topology should be carefully selected based on each use scenario in ultrasound.

LNA Gain Switch Response
The LNA gain is programmable through SPI. The gain switching time depends on the SPI speed as well as the
LNA gain response time. During the switching, glitches might occur and they can appear as artifacts in images.
In addtion, the signal chain needs about 14 us to settle after the LNA gain change. Thus LNA gain switching may
not be preferred when switching time or settling time for the signal chain is limited.
VOLTAGE-CONTROLLED-ATTENUATOR
The attenuator in the AFE5809 is controlled by a pair of differential control inputs, the VCNTLM,P pins. The
differential control voltage spans from 0V to 1.5V. This control voltage varies the attenuation of the attenuator
based on its linear-in-dB characteristic. Its maximum attenuation (minimum channel gain) appears at VCNTLPVCNTLM= 1.5V, and minimum attenuation (maximum channel gain) occurs at VCNTLP - VCNTLM= 0. The typical gain
range is 40dB and remains constant, independent of the PGA setting.
When only single-ended VCNTL signal is available, this 1.5Vpp signal can be applied on the VCNTLP pin with the
VCNTLM pin connected to ground; As the below figures show, TGC gain curve is inversely proportional to the
VCNTLP-VCNTLM.

As discussed in the theory of operation, the attenuator architecture uses seven attenuator segments that are
equally spaced in order to approximate the linear-in-dB gain-control slope. This approximation results in a
monotonic slope; the gain ripple is typically less than ±0.5dB.
The control voltage input (VCNTLM,P pins) represents a high-impedance input. The VCNTLM,P pins of multiple
AFE5809 devices can be connected in parallel with no significant loading effects. When the voltage level (VCNTLPVCNTLM) is above 1.5 V or below 0 V, the attenuator continues to operate at its maximum attenuation level or
minimum attenuation level respectively. It is recommended to limit the voltage from -0.3 V to 2 V.
When the AFE5809 operates in CW mode, the attenuator stage remains connected to the LNA outputs.
Therefore, it is recommended to power down the VCA using the PDN_VCA register bit. In this case, VCNTLPVCNTLM voltage does not matter.
The AFE5809 gain-control input has a –3dB bandwidth of approximately 800KHz. This wide bandwidth, although
useful in many applications (e.g. fast VCNTL response), can also allow high-frequency noise to modulate the gain
control input and finally affect the Doppler performance. In practice, this modulation can be avoided by additional
external filtering (RVCNTL and CVCNTL) at VCNTLM,P pins as Figure 91 shows. However, the external filter's cutoff
frequency cannot be kept too low as this results in low gain response time. Without external filtering, the gain
control response time is typically less than 1 μs to settle within 10% of the final signal level of 1VPP (–6dBFS)
output as indicated in Figure 52 and Figure 53.
Typical VCNTLM,P signals are generated by an 8bit to 12bit 10MSPS digital to analog converter (DAC) and a
differential operation amplifier. TI’s DACs, such as TLV5626 and DAC7821/11 (10MSPS/12bit), could be used to
generate TGC control waveforms. Differential amplifiers with output common mode voltage control (that is,
THS4130 and OPA1632) can connect the DAC to the VCNTLM/P pins. The buffer amplifier can also be configured
as an active filter to suppress low frequency noise. The VCNTLM/P circuit shall achieve low noise in order to
prevent the VCNTLM/P noise being modulated to RF signals. It is recommended that VCNTLM/P noise is below 25
nV/rtHz at 1KHz and 5 nV/rtHz at 50 KHz. More information can be found in the literatures SLOS318F and
SBAA150. The VCNTL vs Gain curves can be found in Figure 3. The below table also shows the absolute gain vs.
VCNTL, which may help program DAC correspondingly.
In PW Doppler and color Doppler modes, VCNTL noise should be minimized to achieve the best close-in phase
noise and SNR. Digital VCNTL feature is implemented to address this need in the AFE5809. In the digital VCNTL
mode, no external VCNTL is needed.

CW OPERATION
CW Summing Amplifier
In order to simplify CW system design, a summing amplifier is implemented in the AFE5809 to sum and convert
8-channel mixer current outputs to a differential voltage output. Low noise and low power are achieved in the
summing amplifier while maintaining the full dynamic range required in CW operation.
This summing amplifier has 5 internal gain adjustment resistors which can provide 32 different gain settings
(register 54[4:0], Figure 95 and Table 6). System designers can easily adjust the CW path gain depending on
signal strength and transducer sensitivity. For any other gain values, an external resistor option is supported. The
gain of the summation amplifier is determined by the ratio between the 500Ω resistors after LNA and the internal
or external resistor network REXT/INT. Thus the matching between these resistors plays a more important role than
absolute resistor values. Better than 1% matching is achieved on chip. Due to process variation, the absolute
resistor tolerance could be higher. If external resistors are used, the gain error between I/Q channels or among
multiple AFEs may increase. It is recommended to use internal resistors to set the gain in order to achieve better
gain matching (across channels and multiple AFEs). With the external capacitor CEXT , this summing amplifier
has 1st order LPF response to remove high frequency components from the mixers, such as 2f0±fd. Its cut-off
frequency is determined by:
fHP =
1
2pRINT/EXT CEXT
(10)
Note that when different gain is configured through register 54[4:0], the LPF response varies as well.

Multiple AFE5809s are usually utilized in parallel to expand CW beamformer channel count. These AFE5809
CW's voltage outputs can be summed and filtered externally further to achieve desired gain and filter response.
AC coupling capacitors CAC are required to block DC component of the CW carrier signal. CAC can vary from 1
µF to 10s μF depending on the desired low frequency Doppler signal from slow blood flow. Multiple AFE5809s’
I/Q outputs can be summed together with a low noise external differential amplifiers before 16, 18-bit differential

NOTE
The local oscillator inputs of the passive mixer are cos(ωt) for I-CH and sin(ωt) for Q-CH
respectively. Depending on users' CW Doppler complex FFT processing, swapping I/Q
channels in FPGA or DSP may be needed in order to get correct blood flow directions.
CW Clock Selection
The AFE5809 can accept differential LVDS, LVPECL, and other differential clock inputs as well as single-ended
CMOS clock. An internally generated VCM of 2.5V is applied to CW clock inputs, that is CLKP_16X/ CLKM_16X
and CLKP_1X/ CLKM_1X. Since this 2.5 V VCM is different from the one used in standard LVDS or LVPECL
clocks, AC coupling is required between clock drivers and the AFE5809 CW clock inputs. When CMOS clock is
used, CLKM_1X and CLKM_16X should be tied to ground. Common clock configurations are illustrated in
Figure 100. Appropriate termination is recommended to achieve good signal integrity.

The combination of the clock noise and the CW path noise can degrade the CW performance. The internal
clocking circuit is designed for achieving excellent phase noise required by CW operation. The phase noise of
the AFE5809 CW path is better than 155dBc/Hz at 1KHz offset. Consequently the phase noise of the mixer clock
inputs needs to be better than 155 dBc/Hz.

SLOS738C – SEPTEMBER 2012 – REVISED JANUARY 2013

In the 16/8/4×fcw operations modes, low phase noise clock is required for 16, 8, 4 × ƒcw clocks (that is
CLKP_16X/ CLKM_16X pins) in order to maintain good CW phase noise performance. The 1 × ƒcw clock (that is
CLKP_1X/ CLKM_1X pins) is only used to synchronize the multiple AFE5809 chips and is not used for
demodulation. Thus 1×fcw clock’s phase noise is not a concern. However, in the 1 × ƒcw operation mode, low
phase noise clocks are required for both CLKP_16X/ CLKM_16X and CLKP_1X/ CLKM_1X pins since both of
them are used for mixer demodulation. In general, higher slew rate clock has lower phase noise; thus, clocks
with high amplitude and fast slew rate are preferred in CW operation. In the CMOS clock mode, 5 V CMOS clock
can achieve the highest slew rate.
Clock phase noise can be improved by a divider as long as the divider’s phase noise is lower than the target
phase noise. The phase noise of a divided clock can be improved approximately by a factor of 20logN dB where
N is the dividing factor of 16, 8, or 4. If the target phase noise of mixer LO clock 1×fcw is 160dBc/Hz at 1KHz off
carrier, the 16×fcw clock phase noise should be better than 160-20log16=136dBc/Hz. TI’s jitter cleaners
LMK048X/CDCM7005/CDCE72010 exceed this requirement and can be selected for the AFE5809. In the 4X/1X
modes, higher quality input clocks are expected to achieve the same performance since N is smaller. Thus the
16X mode is a preferred mode since it reduces the phase noise requirement for system clock design. In addition,
the phase delay accuracy is specified by the internal clock divider and distribution circuit. Note in the 16X
operation mode, the CW operation range is limited to 8 MHz due to the 16X CLK. The maximum clock frequency
for the 16X CLK is 128 MHz. In the 8X, 4X, and 1X modes, higher CW signal frequencies up to 15 MHz can be
supported with small degradation in performance, e.g. the phase noise is degraded by 9 dB at 15 MHz,
compared to 2 MHz.
As the channel number in a system increases, clock distribution becomes more complex. It is not preferred to
use one clock driver output to drive multiple AFEs since the clock buffer’s load capacitance increases by a factor
of N. As a result, the falling and rising time of a clock signal is degraded. A typical clock arrangement for multiple
AFE5809s is illustrated in Figure 101. Each clock buffer output drives one AFE5809 in order to achieve the best
signal integrity and fastest slew rate, that is better phase noise performance. When clock phase noise is not a
concern, e.g. the 1 × ƒcw clock in the 16, 8, 4 × ƒcw operation modes, one clock driver output may excite more
than one AFE5809s. Nevertheless, special considerations should be applied in such a clock distribution network
design. In typical ultrasound systems, it is preferred that all clocks are generated from a same clock source, such
as 16 × ƒcw , 1 × ƒcw clocks, audio ADC clocks, RF ADC clock, pulse repetition frequency signal, frame clock
and so on. By doing this, interference due to clock asynchronization can be minimized

CW Supporting Circuits
As a general practice in CW circuit design, in-phase and quadrature channels should be strictly symmetrical by
using well matched layout and high accuracy components.
In systems, additional high-pass wall filters (20 Hz to 500 Hz) and low-pass audio filters (10 KHz to 100 KHz)
with multiple poles are usually needed. Since CW Doppler signal ranges from 20 Hz to 20 KHz, noise under this
range is critical. Consequently low noise audio operational amplifiers are suitable to build these active filters for
CW post-processing, that is OPA1632 or OPA2211. More filter design techniques can be found from www.ti.com.
The TI active filter design tool http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/filter-designer.html
The filtered audio CW I/Q signals are sampled by audio ADCs and processed by DSP or PC. Although CW
signal frequency is from 20 Hz to 20 KHz, higher sampling rate ADCs are still preferred for further decimation
and SNR enhancement. Due to the large dynamic range of CW signals, high resolution ADCs (≥ 16bit) are
required, such as ADS8413 (2MSPS, 16it, 92dBFS SNR) and ADS8472 (1MSPS/16bit/95dBFS SNR). ADCs for
in-phase and quadature-phase channels must be strictly matched, not only amplitude matching but also phase
matching, in order to achieve the best I/Q matching,. In addition, the in-phase and quadrature ADC channels
must be sampled simultaneously.
LOW FREQUENCY SUPPORT
In addition, the signal chain of the AFE5809 can handle signal frequency lower than 100 KHz, which enables the
AFE5809 to be used in both sonar and medical applicaitons. The PGA intergrator has to be turned off in order to
enable the low frequency support. Meanwhile, a large capacitor like 1 µF can be used for setting low corner
frequency of the LNA DC offset correction circuit as shown in Figure 72. AFE5809's low frequency response can
be found in Figure 60.

ADC OPERATION
ADC Clock Configurations
To ensure that the aperture delay and jitter are the same for all channels, the AFE5809 uses a clock tree
network to generate individual sampling clocks for each channel. The clock, for all the 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 is given by the aperture jitter
number of the same table.

Figure 102. ADC Clock Distribution Network
The AFE5809 ADC clock input can be driven by differential clocks (sine wave, LVPECL or LVDS) or singled
clocks (LVCMOS) similar to CW clocks as shown in Figure 100. In the single-end case, it is recommended that
the use of low jitter square signals (LVCMOS levels, 1.8V amplitude). See TI document SLYT075 for further
details on the theory.
The jitter cleaner CDCM7005 or CDCE72010 is suitable to generate the AFE5809’s ADC clock and ensure the
performance for the14bit ADC with 77dBFS SNR. A clock distribution network is shown in Figure 102.
ADC Reference Circuit
The ADC’s voltage reference can be generated internally or provided externally. When the internal reference
mode is selected, the REFP/M becomes output pins and should be floated. When 3[15] =1 and 1[13]=1, the
device is configured to operate in the external reference mode in which the VREF_IN pin should be driven with a
1.4 V reference voltage and REFP/M must be left open. Since the input impedance of the VREF_IN is high, no
special drive capability is required for the 1.4 V voltage reference

SLOS738C – SEPTEMBER 2012 – REVISED JANUARY 2013
The digital beam-forming algorithm in an ultrasound system relies on gain matching across all receiver channels.
A typical system would have about 12 octal AFEs on the board. In such a case, it is critical to ensure that the
gain is matched, essentially requiring the reference voltages seen by all the AFEs to be the same. Matching
references within the eight channels of a chip is done by using a single internal reference voltage buffer.
Trimming the reference voltages on each chip during production ensures that the reference voltages are wellmatched across different chips. When the external reference mode is used, a solid reference plane on a printed
circuit board can ensure minimal voltage variation across devices. More information on voltage reference design
can be found in the document SLYT339.
The dominant gain variation in the AFE5809 comes from the VCA gain variation. The gain variation contributed
by the ADC reference circuit is much smaller than the VCA gain variation. Hence, in most systems, using the
ADC internal reference mode is sufficient to maintain good gain matching among multiple AFE5809s. In addition,
the internal reference circuit without any external components achieves satisfactory thermal noise and phase
noise performance.”
POWER MANAGEMENT
Power/Performance Optimization
The AFE5809 has options to adjust power consumption and meet different noise performances. This feature
would be useful for portable systems operated by batteries when low power is more desired. Please refer to
characteristics information listed in the table of electrical characteristics as well as the typical characteristic plots.
Power Management Priority
Power management plays a critical role to extend battery life and ensure long operation time. The AFE5809 has
fast and flexible power down/up control which can maximize battery life. The AFE5809 can be powered down/up
through external pins or internal registers. Table 26 indicates the affected circuit blocks and priorities when the
power management is invoked. The higher priority controls can overwrite the lower priority controls.
In the device, all the power down controls are logically ORed to generate final power down for different blocks.
The higher priority controls can cover the lower priority controls.
The digital demoduator also has 4 power down controls, PWRDWN_VCA_BYPASS, PWRDWN_ADC_BYPASS,
PWRDWN_DIG_BYPASS, and PWRDWN_LVDS_BYPASS. Their priority is lower the controls listed inTable 26.

Partial Power-Up/Down Mode
The partial power up/down mode is also called as fast power up/down mode. In this mode, most amplifiers in the
signal path are powered down, while the internal reference circuits remain active as well as the LVDS clock
circuit, that is the LVDS circuit still generates its frame and bit clocks.

SLOS738C – SEPTEMBER 2012 – REVISED JANUARY 2013

The partial power down function allows the AFE5809 to be wake up from a low-power state quickly. This
configuration ensures that the external capacitors are discharged slowly; thus a minimum wake-up time is
needed as long as the charges on those capacitors are restored. The VCA wake-up response is typically about 2
μs or 1% of the power down duration whichever is larger. The longest wake-up time depends on the capacitors
connected at INP and INM, as the wake-up time is the time required to recharge the caps to the desired
operating voltages. For 0.1 μF at INP and 15 nF at INM can give a wake-up time of 2.5 ms. For larger capacitors
this time will be longer. The ADC wake-up time is about 1 μs. Thus the AFE5809 wake-up time is more
dependent on the VCA wake-up time. This also assumes that the ADC clock has been running for at least 50 µs
before normal operating mode resumes. The power-down time is instantaneous, less than 1 µs.
This fast wake-up response is desired for portable ultrasound applications in which the power saving is critical.
The pulse repetition frequency of a ultrasound system could vary from 50KHz to 500 Hz, while the imaging depth
(that is the active period for a receive path) varies from 10 μs to hundreds of us. The power saving can be pretty
significant when a system’s PRF is low. In some cases, only the VCA would be powered down while the ADC
keeps running normally to ensure minimal impact to FPGAs.
In the partial power-down mode, the AFE5809 typically dissipates only 26mW/ch, representing an 80% power
reduction compared to the normal operating mode. This mode can be set using either pins (PDN_VCA and
PDN_ADC) or register bits (VCA_PARTIAL_PDN and ADC_PARTIAL_PDN).
Complete Power-Down Mode
To achieve the lowest power dissipation of 0.7 mW/CH, the AFE5809 can be placed into a complete power-down
mode. This mode is controlled through the registers ADC_COMPLETE_PDN, VCA_COMPLETE_PDN or
PDN_GLOBAL pin. In the complete power-down mode, all circuits including reference circuits within the
AFE5809 are powered down; and the capacitors connected to the AFE5809 are discharged. The wake-up time
depends on the time needed to recharge these capacitors. The wake-up time depends on the time that the
AFE5809 spends in shutdown mode. 0.1 μF at INP and 15 nF at INM can give a wake-up time close to 2.5 ms
Power Saving in CW Mode
Usually only half the number of channels in a system are active in the CW mode. Thus the individual channel
control through ADC_PDN_CH <7:0> and VCA_PDN_CH <7:0> can power down unused channels and save
power consumption greatly. Under the default register setting in the CW mode, the voltage controlled attenuator,
PGA, and ADC are still active. During the debug phase, both the PW and CW paths can be running
simultaneously. In real operation, these blocks need to be powered down manually.
TEST MODES
The AFE5809 includes multiple test modes to accelerate system development. The ADC test modes have been
discussed in the register description section.
The VCA has a test mode in which the CH7 and CH8 PGA outputs can be brought to the CW pins. By monitoring
these PGA outputs, the functionality of VCA operation can be verified. The PGA outputs are connected to the
virtual ground pins of the summing amplifier (CW_IP_AMPINM/P, CW_QP_AMPINM/P) through 5KΩ resistors.
The PGA outputs can be monitored at the summing amplifier outputs when the LPF capacitors CEXT are
removed. Please note that the signals at the summing amplifier outputs are attenuated due to the 5 KΩ resistors.
The attenuation coefficient is RINT/EXT/5 KΩ
If users would like to check the PGA outputs without removing CEXT, an alternative way is to measure the PGA
outputs directly at the CW_IP_AMPINM/P and CW_QP_AMPINM/P when the CW summing amplifier is powered
down
Some registers are related to this test mode. PGA Test Mode Enable: Reg59[9]; Buffer Amplifier Power Down
Reg59[8]; and Buffer Amplifier Gain Control Reg54[4:0]. Based on the buffer amplifier configuration, the registers
can be set in different ways:

POWER SUPPLY, GROUNDING AND BYPASSING
In a mixed-signal system design, power supply and grounding design plays a significant role. The AFE5809
distinguishes between two different grounds: AVSS(Analog Ground) and DVSS(digital ground). In most cases, it
should be adequate to lay out the printed circuit board (PCB) to use a single ground plane for the AFE5809.
Care should be taken that this ground plane is properly partitioned between various sections within the system to
minimize interactions between analog and digital circuitry. Alternatively, the digital (DVDD) supply set consisting
of the DVDD and DVSS pins can be placed on separate power and ground planes. For this configuration, the
AVSS and DVSS grounds should be tied together at the power connector in a star layout. In addition, optical
isolator or digital isolators, such as ISO7240, can separate the analog portion from the digital portion completely.
Consequently they prevent digital noise to contaminate the analog portion. Table 26 lists the related circuit blocks
for each power supply.

All bypassing and power supplies for the AFE5809 should be referenced to their corresponding ground planes.
All supply pins should be bypassed with 0.1 µF ceramic chip capacitors (size 0603 or smaller). In order to
minimize the lead and trace inductance, the capacitors should be located as close to the supply pins as possible.
Where double-sided component mounting is allowed, these capacitors are best placed directly under the
package. In addition, larger bipolar decoupling capacitors 2.2 µF to 10 µF, effective at lower frequencies) may
also be used on the main supply pins. These components can be placed on the PCB in proximity (< 0.5 in or
12.7 mm) to the AFE5809 itself.

The AFE5809 has a number of reference supplies needed to be bypassed, such CM_BYP, VHIGH, and
VREF_IN. These pins should be bypassed with at least 1µF; higher value capacitors can be used for better lowfrequency noise suppression. For best results, choose low-inductance ceramic chip capacitors (size 0402, > 1
µF) and place them as close as possible to the device pins.
High-speed mixed signal devices are sensitive to various types of noise coupling. One primary source of noise is
the switching noise from the serializer and the output buffer/drivers. For the AFE5809, care has been taken to
ensure that the interaction between the analog and digital supplies within the device is kept to a minimal amount.
The extent of noise coupled and transmitted from the digital and analog sections depends on the effective
inductances of each of the supply and ground connections. Smaller effective inductance of the supply and
ground pins leads to improved noise suppression. For this reason, multiple pins are used to connect each supply
and ground sets. It is important to maintain low inductance properties throughout the design of the PCB layout by
use of proper planes and layer thickness.
BOARD LAYOUT
Proper grounding and bypassing, short lead length, and the use of ground and power-supply planes are
particularly important for high-frequency designs. Achieving optimum performance with a high-performance
device such as the AFE5809 requires careful attention to the PCB layout to minimize the effects of board
parasitics and optimize component placement. A multilayer PCB usually ensures best results and allows
convenient component placement. In order to maintain proper LVDS timing, all LVDS traces should follow a
controlled impedance design. In addition, all LVDS trace lengths should be equal and symmetrical; it is
recommended to keep trace length variations less than 150mil (0.150 in or 3.81 mm).
To avoid noise coupling through supply pins, it is recommended to keep sensitive input pins, such as
INM, INP, ACT pins aways from the AVDD 3.3 V and AVDD_5V planes. For example, either the traces or
vias connected to these pins should not be routed across the AVDD 3.3 V and AVDD_5V planes. In
addition, appropriate delay matching should be considered for the CW clock path, especially in systems with high
channel count. For example, if clock delay is half of the 16x clock period, a phase error of 22.5°C could exist.
Thus the timing delay difference among channels contributes to the beamformer accuracy.

MicroStar BGA Packaging Reference Guide (SSYZ015B), which can be downloaded from www.ti.com.
