It contains eight channels of a variable gain amplifier (VGA) with a low noise preamplifier (LNA); an antialiasing filter (AAF); a 14-bit, 10 MSPS to 50 MSPS analog-todigital converter (ADC); and an I/Q demodulator with programmable phase rotation. Each channel features a variable gain range of 42 dB, a fully differential signal path, an active input preamplifier termination, a maximum gain of up to 52 dB, and an ADC with a conversion rate of up to 50 MSPS. The channel is optimized for dynamic performance and low power in applications where a small package size is critical. The LNA has a single-ended-to-differential gain that is selectable through the SPI. The LNA input noise is typically 0.75 nV/√Hz at a gain of 21.3 dB, and the combined input-referred noise of the entire channel is 0.85 nV/√Hz at maximum gain. Assuming a 15 MHz noise bandwidth (NBW) and a 21.3 dB LNA gain, the input SNR is roughly 92 dB. In CW Doppler mode, each LNA output drives an I/Q demodulator. Each demodulator has independently programmable phase rotation through the SPI with 16 phase settings. The ADC automatically multiplies the sample rate clock for the appropriate LVDS serial data rate. A data clock (DCO±) for capturing data on the output and a frame clock (FCO±) trigger for signaling a new output byte are provided. Powering down individual channels is supported to increase battery life for portable applications. A standby mode option allows quick power-up for power cycling. In CW Doppler operation, the VGA, AAF, and ADC are powered down. The power of the TGC path scales with selectable ADC speed power modes. The ADC contains several features designed to maximize flexibility and minimize system cost, such as a programmable clock, data alignment, and programmable digital test pattern generation. The digital test patterns include built-in fixed patterns, built-in pseudorandom patterns, and custom user-defined test patterns entered via the serial port interface. Fabricated in an advanced CMOS process, the AD9277 is available in a 16 mm × 16 mm, RoHS compliant, 100-lead TQFP. It is specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. The AD9277 requires a LVPECL-/CMOS-/LVDS-compatible sample rate clock for full performance operation. No external reference or driver components are required for many applications.

Equivalent GPOx Output Circuit Rev. 0 | Page 20 of 48 AD9277 THEORY OF OPERATION Most modern ultrasound machines use digital beamforming. In this technique, the signal is converted to digital format immediately following the TGC amplifier, and then beamforming is accomplished digitally. ULTRASOUND The primary application for the AD9277 is medical ultrasound. Figure 45 shows a simplified block diagram of an ultrasound system. A critical function of an ultrasound system is the time gain control (TGC) compensation for physiological signal attenuation. Because the attenuation of ultrasound signals is exponential with respect to distance (time), a linear-in-dB VGA is the optimal solution. The ADC resolution of 14 bits with up to 50 MSPS sampling satisfies the requirements of both general-purpose and high end systems. Power conservation and low cost are two of the most important factors in low end and portable ultrasound machines, and the AD9277 is designed to meet these criteria. Key requirements in an ultrasound signal chain are very low noise, active input termination, fast overload recovery, low power, and differential drive to an ADC. Because ultrasound machines use beamforming techniques requiring large binary-weighted numbers of channels (for example, 32 to 512), using the lowest power at the lowest possible noise is of chief importance.

Simplified Block Diagram of a Single Channel CFB CHANNEL OVERVIEW VO+ Each channel contains both a TGC signal path and a CW Doppler signal path. Common to both signal paths, the LNA provides useradjustable input impedance termination. The CW Doppler path includes an I/Q demodulator. The TGC path includes a differential X-AMP® VGA, an antialiasing filter, and an ADC. Figure 46 shows a simplified block diagram with external components. RFB1 RFB2 VO– LOSW-x LO-x VCM T/R SWITCH The signal path is fully differential throughout to maximize signal swing and reduce even-order distortion; however, the LNA is designed to be driven from a single-ended signal source. LI-x CSH A simplified schematic of the LNA is shown in Figure 47. LI-x is capacitively coupled to the source. An on-chip bias generator establishes dc input bias voltages of around 0.9 V and centers the output common-mode levels at 1.5 V (AVDD2 divided by 2). A capacitor, CLG, of the same value as the input coupling capacitor, CS, is connected from the LG-x pin to ground. It is highly recommended that the LG-x pins form a Kelvin type connection to the input or probe connection ground. Simply connecting the LG-x pin to ground near the device can allow differences in potential to be amplified through the LNA. This generally shows up as a dc offset voltage that can vary from channel to channel and part to part, depending on the application and the layout of the PCB. LG-x CS Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) TRANSDUCER CLG 08181-041 Good noise performance relies on a proprietary ultralow noise LNA at the beginning of the signal chain, which minimizes the noise contribution in the following VGA. Active impedance control optimizes noise performance for applications that benefit from input impedance matching. VCM Figure 47. Simplified LNA Schematic The LNA supports differential output voltages as high as 4.4 V p-p with positive and negative excursions of ±1.1 V from a commonmode voltage of 1.5 V. The LNA differential gain sets the maximum input signal before saturation. One of three gains is set through the SPI. The corresponding full-scale input for the gain settings of 15.6 dB, 17.9 dB, and 21.3 dB is 733 mV p-p, 550 mV p-p, and 367 mV p-p, respectively. Overload protection ensures quick recovery time from large input voltages. Because the inputs are capacitively coupled to a bias voltage near midsupply, very large inputs can be handled without interacting with the ESD protection. Rev. 0 | Page 22 of 48 AD9277 The LNA consists of a single-ended voltage gain amplifier with differential outputs and the negative output externally available. For example, with a fixed gain of 8× (17.9 dB), an active input termination is synthesized by connecting a feedback resistor between the negative output pin, LO-x, and the positive input pin, LI-x. This well-known technique is used for interfacing multiple probe impedances to a single system. The input resistance is shown in Equation 1. R IN = R FB (1 + A 2) Because the amplifier has a gain of 8× from its input to its differential output, it is important to note that the gain A/2 is the gain from Pin LI-x to Pin LO-x and that it is 6 dB less than the gain of the amplifier, or 11.9 dB (4×). The input resistance is reduced by an internal bias resistor of 15 kΩ in parallel with the source resistance connected to Pin LI-x, with Pin LG-x ac grounded. Equation 2 can be used to calculate the required RFB for a desired RIN, even for higher values of RIN. R IN RS = 500Ω, RFB = 2kΩ RS = 200Ω, RFB = 800Ω 100 (2) For example, to set RIN to 200 Ω, the value of RFB must be 1000 Ω. If the simplified equation (Equation 2) is used to calculate RIN, the value is 188 Ω, resulting in a gain error of less than 0.6 dB. Some factors, such as the presence of a dynamic source resistance, may influence the absolute gain accuracy more significantly. At higher frequencies, the input capacitance of the LNA must be considered. The user must determine the level of matching accuracy and adjust RFB accordingly. RS = 100Ω, RFB = 400Ω, CSH = 20pF RS = 50Ω, RFB = 200Ω, CSH = 70pF 10 100k 1M 10M FREQUENCY (Hz) 100M Figure 48. RIN vs. Frequency for Various Values of RFB (Effects of RS and CSH Are Also Shown) (1) where: A/2 is the single-ended gain or the gain from the LI-x inputs to the LO-x outputs. RFB is the resulting impedance of the RFB1 and RFB2 combination (see Figure 47). R = FB || 15 k Ω (1 + 3) 1k 08181-042 Active Impedance Matching The bandwidth (BW) of the LNA is greater than 100 MHz. Ultimately, the BW of the LNA limits the accuracy of the synthesized RIN. For RIN = RS up to about 200 Ω, the best match is between 100 kHz and 10 MHz, where the lower frequency limit is determined by the size of the ac coupling capacitors, and the upper limit is determined by the LNA BW. Furthermore, the input capacitance and RS limit the BW at higher frequencies. Figure 48 shows RIN vs. frequency for various values of RFB. INPUT RESISTANCE (Ω) Low value feedback resistors and the current-driving capability of the output stage allow the LNA to achieve a low inputreferred noise voltage of 0.75 nV/√Hz (at a gain of 21.3 dB). This is achieved with a current consumption of only 27 mA per channel (80 mW). On-chip resistor matching results in precise single-ended gains, which are critical for accurate impedance control. The use of a fully differential topology and negative feedback minimizes distortion. Low second-order harmonic distortion is particularly important in second harmonic ultrasound imaging applications. Differential signaling enables smaller swings at each output, further reducing third-order harmonic distortion. Note that at the lowest value of RIN (50 Ω), RIN peaks at frequencies greater than 10 MHz. This is due to the BW roll-off of the LNA, as mentioned previously. However, as can be seen for larger RIN values, parasitic capacitance starts rolling off the signal BW before the LNA can produce peaking. CSH further degrades the match; therefore, CSH should not be used for values of RIN that are greater than 100 Ω. Table 7 lists the recommended values for RFB and CSH in terms of RIN. CFB is needed in series with RFB because the dc levels at Pin LO-x and Pin LI-x are unequal. Table 7.

The short-circuit noise voltage for the LNA is 0.75 nV/√Hz at a gain of 21.3 dB, including the VGA noise at a VGA postamp gain of 27 dB. These measurements, which were taken without a feedback resistor, provide the basis for calculating the input noise and noise figure (NF) performance of the configurations shown in Figure 49. + 12.0 10.5 VOUT – NOISE FIGURE (dB) 9.0 RESISTIVE TERMINATION RS LI-x RIN + RS VOUT – RESISTIVE TERMINATION 7.5 6.0 4.5 3.0 LI-x 1.5 IN RS 0 + ACTIVE TERMINATION UNTERMINATED ACTIVE IMPEDANCE MATCH RFB R VOUT 10 – 1 + A/2 1k Figure 50.

Figure 49. Input Configurations 8 The main purpose of input impedance matching is to improve the transient response of the system. With resistive termination, the input noise increases due to the thermal noise of the matching resistor and the increased contribution of the LNA’s input voltage noise generator. With active impedance matching, however, the contributions of both are smaller (by a factor of 1/(1 + LNA gain)) than they would be for resistive termination.

Both the LNA and VGA have built-in overdrive protection and quickly recover after an overload event. Each channel of the AD9277 includes an I/Q demodulator. Each demodulator has an individual programmable phase shifter. The I/Q demodulator is ideal for phased array beamforming applications in medical ultrasound. Each channel can be programmed for 16 delay states (360°/16 or 22.5°/step), selectable via the SPI port. The part has a RESET input used to synchronize the LO dividers of each channel. If multiple AD9277s are used, a common RESET across the array ensures synchronized phase for all channels. Internal to the AD9277, the individual channel I and Q outputs are current summed. If multiple AD9277s are used, the I and Q outputs from each AD9277 can be current summed and converted to a voltage using an external transimpedance amplifier. Input Overload Protection As with any amplifier, voltage clamping prior to the inputs is highly recommended if the application is subject to high transient voltages. Figure 52 shows a simplified ultrasound transducer interface. A common transducer element serves the dual functions of transmitting and receiving ultrasound energy. During the transmitting phase, high voltage pulses are applied to the ceramic elements. A typical transmit/receive (T/R) switch can consist of four high voltage diodes in a bridge configuration. Although the diodes ideally block transmit pulses from the sensitive receiver input, diode characteristics are not ideal, and the resulting leakage transients imposed on the LI-x inputs can be problematic. Because ultrasound is a pulse system and time-of-flight is used to determine depth, quick recovery from input overloads is essential. Overload can occur in the preamplifier and in the VGA. Immediately following a transmit pulse, the typical VGA gains are low, and the LNA is subject to overload from T/R switch leakage. With increasing gain, the VGA can become overloaded due to strong echoes that occur near field echoes and acoustically dense materials, such as bone. Figure 52 illustrates an external overload protection scheme. A pair of back-to-back signal diodes should be in place prior to the ac coupling capacitors. Keep in mind that all diodes are prone to exhibiting some amount of shot noise. Many types of diodes are available for achieving the desired noise performance. The configuration shown in Figure 52 tends to add 2 nV/√Hz of input-referred noise. Decreasing the 5 kΩ resistor and increasing the 2 kΩ resistor may improve noise contribution, depending on the application. With the diodes shown in Figure 52, clamping levels of ±0.5 V or less significantly enhance the overload performance of the system. +5V Tx DRIVER 5kΩ HV 10nF Quadrature Generation The internal 0° and 90° LO phases are digitally generated by a divide-by-4 logic circuit. The divider is dc-coupled and inherently broadband; the maximum LO frequency is limited only by its switching speed. The duty cycle of the quadrature LO signals is intrinsically 50% and is unaffected by the asymmetry of the externally connected 4LO input. Furthermore, the divider is implemented such that the 4LO signal reclocks the final flipflops that generate the internal LO signals and thereby minimizes noise introduced by the divide circuitry. For optimum performance, the 4LO input is driven differentially, as done on the AD9277 evaluation board. The common-mode voltage on each pin is approximately 1.2 V with the nominal 3 V supply. It is important to ensure that the LO source has very low phase noise (jitter), fast slew rate, and adequate input level to obtain optimum performance of the CW signal chain. Beamforming applications require a precise channel-to-channel phase relationship for coherence among multiple channels. A RESET pin is provided to synchronize the LO divider circuits in different AD9277s when they are used in arrays. The RESET pin resets the dividers to a known state after power is applied to multiple AD9277s. Accurate channel-to-channel phase matching can only be achieved via a common pulse on the RESET pin when using more than one AD9277. AD9277 LNA 10nF TRANSDUCER –5V 08181-046 5kΩ 2kΩ Figure 52. Input Overload Protection Rev. 0 | Page 25 of 48 AD9277 I/Q Demodulator and Phase Shifter Dynamic Range and Noise The I/Q demodulators consist of double-balanced passive mixers. The RF input signals are converted into currents by transconductance stages that have a maximum differential input signal capability matching the LNA output full scale. These currents are then presented to the mixers, which convert them to baseband (RF − LO) and twice RF (RF + LO). The signals are phase shifted according to the codes programmed into the SPI latch (see Table 8). The phase shift function is an integral part of the overall circuit. The phase shift listed in Column 1 of Table 8 is defined as being between the baseband I or Q channel outputs. As an example, for a common signal applied to a pair of RF inputs to an AD9277, the baseband outputs are in phase for matching phase codes. However, if the phase code for Channel 1 is 0000 and that of Channel 2 is 0001, then Channel 2 leads Channel 1 by 22.5°. Figure 53 is an interconnection block diagram of all eight channels of the AD9277. More channels are easily added to the summation (up to 32 when using an AD8021 as the summation amplifier) by wire-OR connecting the outputs as shown. In beamforming applications, the I and Q outputs of a number of receiver channels are summed. The dynamic range of the system increases by the factor 10 log10(N), where N is the number of channels (assuming random uncorrelated noise). The noise in the 8-channel example of Figure 53 is increased by 9 dB, whereas the signal quadruples (18 dB), yielding an aggregate SNR improvement of (18 − 9) = 9 dB. Table 8.

To determine the output-referred noise, it is important to know the active low-pass filter (LPF) values, RFILT and CFILT, shown in Figure 53. Typical filter values for a single channel are 2 kΩ for RFILT and 0.8 nF for CFILT; these values implement a 100 kHz single-pole LPF. In the case where eight channels are summed, RFILT and CFILT are 250 Ω and 6.4 nF. If the RF and LO are offset by 10 kHz, the demodulated signal is 10 kHz and is passed by the LPF. The single-channel mixing gain from the RF input to the AD8021 output (for example, I1´, Q1´) is approximately the LNA gain for RFILT and CFILT of 2 kΩ and 0.8 nF. This gain can be increased by increasing the filter resistor while maintaining the corner frequency. The factor limiting the magnitude of the gain is the output swing and drive capability of the op amp selected for the I-to-V converter, in this example, the AD8021. Because any amplifier has limited drive capability, there is a finite number of channels that can be summed. The channel-summing limit relates directly to the current drive capability of the amplifier used to implement the active lowpass filter and current-to-voltage converter. The maximum sum, when the AD8021 is used, is 32 channels of the AD9277; that is, four AD9277s (4 × 8 = 32 channels) can be summed in one AD8021.

Typical Connection Interface for I/Q Outputs in CW Mode Phase Compensation and Analog Beamforming Beamforming, as applied to medical ultrasound, is defined as the phase alignment and summation of signals generated from a common source but received at different times by a multielement ultrasound transducer. Beamforming has two functions: it imparts directivity to the transducer, enhancing its gain, and it defines a focal point within the body from which the location of the returning echo is derived. The primary application for the AD9277 I/Q demodulators is in analog beamforming circuits for ultrasound CW Doppler. Modern ultrasound machines used for medical applications employ an array of receivers for beamforming, with typical CW Doppler array sizes of up to 64 receiver channels that are phase shifted and summed together to extract coherent information. When used in multiples, the desired signals from each of the channels can be summed to yield a larger signal (increased by a factor N, where N is the number of channels), whereas the noise is increased by the square root of the number of channels. This technique enhances the signal-to-noise performance of the machine. The critical elements in a beamformer design are the means to align the incoming signals in the time domain and the means to sum the individual signals into a composite whole. In traditional analog beamformers incorporating Doppler, a V-to-I converter per channel and a crosspoint switch precede passive delay lines used as a combined phase shifter and summing circuit. The system operates at the carrier frequency (RF) through the delay line, which also sums the signals from the various channels, and then the combined signal is downconverted by an I/Q demodulator. The dynamic range of the demodulator can limit the achievable dynamic range. The resultant I and Q signals are filtered and then sampled by two high resolution analog-to-digital converters. The sampled signals are processed to extract the relevant Doppler information. Alternatively, the RF signal can be processed by downconversion on each channel individually, phase shifting the downconverted signal and then combining all channels. Because the dynamic range expansion from beamforming occurs after demodulation, the demodulator dynamic range has little effect on the output dynamic range. The AD9277 implements this architecture. The downconversion is done by an I/Q demodulator on each channel, and the summed current output is the same as in the delay line approach. The subsequent filters after the I-to-V conversion and the ADCs are similar. Rev. 0 | Page 27 of 48 AD9277 For CW Doppler operation, the AD9277 integrates the LNA, phase shifter, frequency conversion, and I/Q demodulation into a single package and directly yields the baseband signal. Figure 54 is a simplified diagram showing the concept for four channels. The ultrasound wave (US wave) is received by four transducer elements, TE1 through TE4, in an ultrasound probe and generates signals E1 through E4. In this example, the phase at TE1 leads the phase at TE2 by 45°. The RESET mechanism also allows the measurement of nonmixing gain from the RF input to the output. The rising edge of the active high RESET pulse can occur at any time; however, the duration should be ≥ 20 ns minimum. When the RESET pulse transitions from high to low, the LO dividers are reactivated on the next rising edge of the 4LO clock. To guarantee synchronous operation of multiple AD9277s, the RESET pulse must go low on all devices before the next rising edge of the 4LO clock. In a real application, the phase difference depends on the element spacing, wavelength (λ), speed of sound, angle of incidence, and other factors. In Figure 54, the signals E1 through E4 are amplified by the low noise amplifiers. For optimum signal-to-noise performance, the output of the LNA is applied directly to the input of the demodulators. To sum the signals E1 through E4, E2 is shifted 45° relative to E1 by setting the phase code in Channel 2 to 0010, E3 is shifted 90° (0100), and E4 is shifted 135° (0110). The phase-aligned current signals at the output of the AD9277 are summed in an I-to-V converter to provide the combined output signal with a theoretical improvement in dynamic range of 6 dB for the four channels. Therefore, it is best to have the RESET pulse go low on the falling edge of the 4LO clock; at the very least, the tSETUP should be ≥ 5 ns. An optimal timing setup is for the RESET pulse to go high on a 4LO falling edge and to go low on a 4LO falling edge; this gives 15 ns of setup time even at a 4LO frequency of 32 MHz (8 MHz internal LO). Check the synchronization of multiple AD9277s using the following procedure: 2. CW Application Information The RESET pin is used to synchronize the LO dividers when using multiple AD9277s. Because they are driven by the same internal LO, the channels in any AD9277 are inherently synchronous. However, when multiple AD9277s are used, it is possible for their dividers to wake up in different phase states. The function of the RESET pin is to phase align all the LO signals in multiple AD9277s. 3. 4. 5. The 4LO divider of each AD9277 can be initiated in one of four possible states: 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° relative to other AD9277s. The internally generated I/Q signals of each AD9277 LO are always at a 90° angle relative to each other, but a phase shift can occur during power-up between the dividers of multiple AD9277s used in a common array.

Set the phase code of all AD9277 channels to the same logic state, for example, 0000. Apply the same test signal to all devices to generate a sine wave in the baseband output and measure the output of one channel per device. Apply a RESET pulse to all AD9277s. Because all the phase codes of the AD9277s should be the same, the combined signal of multiple devices should be N times greater than a single channel. If the combined signal is less than N times one channel, one or more of the LO phases of the individual AD9277s is in error. E4 S1 THROUGH S4 ARE NOW IN PHASE S1 S2 S3 S4 Figure 54.

AD9277 TGC OPERATION The TGC signal path is fully differential throughout to maximize signal swing and reduce even-order distortion; however, the LNAs are designed to be driven from a single-ended signal source. Gain values are referenced from the single-ended LNA input to the differential ADC input. A simple exercise in understanding the maximum and minimum gain requirements is shown in Figure 55. The maximum gain required is determined by (ADC Noise Floor/LNA Input Noise Floor) + Margin = 20 log(224/3.9) + 11 dB = 46 dB The minimum gain required is determined by (ADC Input FS/LNA Input FS) + Margin = 20 log(2/0.55) − 10 dB = 3 dB Therefore, 42 dB of gain range for a 14-bit, 50 MSPS ADC with 15 MHz of bandwidth should suffice in achieving the dynamic range required for most of today’s ultrasound systems. The system gain is distributed as listed in Table 9. VGAIN (V) = (GAIN+) – (GAIN−) (3) Gain (dB) = 28.5 dB/V × VGAIN + ICPT (4) where ICPT is the intercept point of the TGC gain. In its default condition, the LNA has a gain of 21.3 dB (12×), and the VGA postamp gain is 24 dB if the voltage on the GAIN+ pin is 0 V and the voltage on the GAIN− pin is 0.8 V (42 dB attenuation). This results in a total gain (or ICPT) of 3.6 dB through the TGC path if the LNA input is unmatched, or a total gain of −2.4 dB if the LNA is matched to 50 Ω (RFB = 350 Ω). However, if the voltage on the GAIN+ pin is 1.6 V and the voltage on the GAIN− pin is 0.8 V (0 dB attenuation), the VGA gain is 24 dB. This results in a total gain of 45 dB through the TGC path if the LNA input is unmatched or in a total gain of 39 dB if the LNA input is matched. Each LNA output is dc-coupled to a VGA input. The VGA consists of an attenuator with a range of −42 dB to 0 dB followed by an amplifier with 21 dB/24 dB/27 dB/30 dB of gain. The X-AMP gain interpolation technique results in low gain error and uniform bandwidth, and differential signal paths minimize distortion. Table 9.

The higher the TGC (LNA + VGA) gain, the lower the output SNR. As the postamp gain is increased, the input-referred noise is reduced. At low gains, the VGA should limit the system noise performance (SNR); at high gains, the noise is defined by the source and the LNA. The maximum voltage swing is bound by the full-scale peak-to-peak ADC input voltage (2 V p-p). Both the LNA and VGA have full-scale limitations within each section of the TGC path. These limitations are dependent on the gain setting of each function block and on the voltage applied to the GAIN+ and GAIN− pins. The LNA has three limitations, or full-scale settings, that can be applied through the SPI.

However, as the postamp gain options are increased, the input-referred noise is reduced and the SNR is degraded. Similarly, the VGA has four postamp gain settings that can be applied through the SPI. The voltage applied to the GAIN± pins determines which amplifier (the LNA or VGA) saturates first. The maximum signal input level that can be applied as a function of voltage on the GAIN± pins for the selectable gain options of the SPI is shown in Figure 56 to Figure 58. INPUT FULL-SCALE (V p-p) Table 10 demonstrates the sensitivity and dynamic range trade-offs that can be achieved relative to various LNA and VGA gain settings. Figure 56.

With overlapping bias currents, signals from successive taps merge to provide a smooth attenuation range from −42 dB to 0 dB. This circuit technique results in linear-in-dB gain law conformance and low distortion levels—only deviating ±0.5 dB or less from the ideal. The gain slope is monotonic with respect to the control voltage and is stable with variations in process, temperature, and supply. Figure 57.

VGAIN varies the gain of all VGAs through the interpolator by selecting the appropriate input stages connected to the input attenuator. For GAIN− at 0.8 V, the nominal GAIN+ range for 28.5 dB/V is 0 V to 1.6 V, with the best gain linearity from about 0.16 V to 1.44 V, where the error is typically less than ±0.5 dB. For GAIN+ voltages greater than 1.44 V and less than 0.16 V, the error increases. The value of GAIN+ can exceed the supply voltage by 1 V without gain foldover. Figure 58.

GAIN INTERPOLATOR + POSTAMP The GAIN+ and GAIN− pins can be interfaced in one of two ways. Using a single-ended method, a Kelvin type of connection to ground can be used, as shown in Figure 60. For driving multiple devices, it is preferable to use a differential method, as shown in Figure 61. In either method, the GAIN+ and GAIN− pins should be dc-coupled and driven to accommodate a 1.6 V full-scale input. gm VIP 3.5dB – POSTAMP 08181-053 VIN 100Ω GAIN+ 0.01µF Figure 59.

The resulting total gain range is 42 dB, which allows for range loss at the endpoints. The effective input resistance per side is 180 Ω nominally for a total differential resistance of 360 Ω. The ladder is driven by a fully differential input signal from the LNA. LNA outputs are dc-coupled to avoid external decoupling capacitors. The common-mode voltage of the attenuator and the VGA is controlled by an amplifier that uses the same midsupply voltage derived in the LNA, permitting dc coupling of the LNA to the VGA without introducing large offsets due to commonmode differences. However, any offset from the LNA becomes amplified as the gain increases, producing an exponentially increasing VGA output offset.

Differential GAIN+, GAIN− Pin Configuration VGA Noise In a typical application, a VGA compresses a wide dynamic range input signal to within the input span of an ADC. The input-referred noise of the LNA limits the minimum resolvable input signal, whereas the output-referred noise, which depends primarily on the VGA, limits the maximum instantaneous dynamic range that can be processed at any one particular gain control voltage. This latter limit is set in accordance with the total noise floor of the ADC. Output-referred noise as a function of GAIN+ is shown in Figure 11, Figure 12, and Figure 14 for the short-circuit input conditions. The input noise voltage is simply equal to the output noise divided by the measured gain at each point in the control range. The output-referred noise is a flat 60 nV/√Hz (postamp gain = 24 dB) over most of the gain range because it is dominated by the fixed output-referred noise of the VGA. At the high end of the gain control range, the noise of the LNA and of the source prevails. The input-referred noise reaches its minimum value near the maximum gain control voltage, where the inputreferred contribution of the VGA is miniscule. At lower gains, the input-referred noise and, therefore, the noise figure, increase as the gain decreases. The instantaneous dynamic range of the system is not lost, however, because the input capacity increases as the input-referred noise increases. The contribution of the ADC noise floor has the same dependence. The important relationship is the magnitude of the VGA output noise floor relative to that of the ADC. Gain control noise is a concern in very low noise applications. Thermal noise in the gain control interface can modulate the channel gain. The resultant noise is proportional to the output signal level and is usually evident only when a large signal is present. The gain interface includes an on-chip noise filter, which significantly reduces this effect at frequencies above 5 MHz. Care should be taken to minimize noise impinging at the GAIN± inputs. An external RC filter can be used to remove VGAIN source noise. The filter bandwidth should be sufficient to accommodate the desired control bandwidth. Antialiasing Filter (AAF) The filter that the signal reaches prior to the ADC is used to reject dc signals and to band limit the signal for antialiasing. Figure 62 shows the architecture of the filter. The antialiasing filter is a combination of a single-pole highpass filter and a second-order low-pass filter. The high-pass filter can be configured at a ratio of the low-pass filter cutoff. This is selectable through the SPI. The filter uses on-chip tuning to trim the capacitors and, in turn, to set the desired cutoff frequency and reduce variations. The default −3 dB low-pass filter cutoff is 1/3 or 1/4.5 the ADC sample clock rate. The cutoff can be scaled to 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 times this frequency through the SPI. The cutoff tolerance is maintained from 8 MHz to 18 MHz. 4kΩ C 30C 30C C = 0.8pF TO 5.1pF n = 0 TO 7 4kΩ 2kΩ 10kΩ/n 4C 2kΩ 4kΩ C 4kΩ 08181-056 AVDD2 499Ω Figure 62. Simplified Antialiasing Filter Schematic Tuning is normally off to avoid changing the capacitor settings during critical times. The tuning circuit is enabled and disabled through the SPI. Initializing the tuning of the filter must be performed after initial power-up and after reprogramming the filter cutoff scaling or ADC sample rate. Occasional retuning during an idle time is recommended to compensate for temperature drift. A total of eight SPI-programmable settings allows the user to vary the high-pass filter cutoff frequency as a function of the low-pass cutoff frequency. Two examples are shown in Table 11: one is for an 8 MHz low-pass cutoff frequency, and the other is for an 18 MHz low-pass cutoff frequency. In both cases, as the ratio decreases, the amount of rejection on the low-end frequencies increases. Therefore, making the entire AAF frequency pass band narrow can reduce low frequency noise or maximize dynamic range for harmonic processing. Table 11.

Rev. 0 | Page 32 of 48 AD9277 ADC 3.3V 50Ω * VFAC3 OUT The AD9277 uses a pipelined ADC architecture. The quantized output from each stage is combined into a 14-bit result in the digital correction logic. The pipelined architecture permits the first stage to operate on a new input sample and the remaining stages to operate on preceding samples. Sampling occurs on the rising edge of the clock. CLOCK INPUT CONSIDERATIONS For optimum performance, the AD9277 sample clock inputs (CLK+ and CLK−) should be clocked with a differential signal. This signal is typically ac-coupled into the CLK+ and CLK− pins via a transformer or capacitors. These pins are biased internally and require no additional bias. Figure 63 shows the preferred method for clocking the AD9277. A low jitter clock source, such as the Valpey Fisher oscillator VFAC3-BHL−50 MHz, is converted from single-ended to differential using an RF transformer. The back-to-back Schottky diodes across the secondary transformer limit clock excursions into the AD9277 to approximately 0.8 V p-p differential. This helps to prevent the large voltage swings of the clock from feeding through to other portions of the AD9277, and it preserves the fast rise and fall times of the signal, which are critical to low jitter performance. 0.1µF CLK+ CLK 0.1µF 100Ω LVDS DRIVER ADC 0.1µF CLK– 08181-059 CLK *50Ω RESISTOR IS OPTIONAL. Figure 65. Differential LVDS Sample Clock In some applications, it is acceptable to drive the sample clock inputs with a single-ended CMOS signal. In such applications, CLK+ should be driven directly from a CMOS gate, and the CLK− pin should be bypassed to ground with a 0.1 μF capacitor in parallel with a 39 kΩ resistor (see Figure 66). Although the CLK+ input circuit supply is AVDD1 (1.8 V), this input is designed to withstand input voltages of up to 3.3 V, making the selection of the drive logic voltage very flexible. 3.3V VFAC3 OUT AD951x FAMILY 0.1µF CLK 50Ω * CMOS DRIVER OPTIONAL 0.1µF 100Ω CLK+ ADC CLK 0.1µF CLK– 0.1µF 39kΩ 08181-060 The output staging block aligns the data, corrects errors, and passes the data to the output buffers.

As a result, these ADCs may be sensitive to the clock duty cycle. Commonly, a 5% tolerance is required on the clock duty cycle to maintain dynamic performance characteristics. The AD9277 contains a duty cycle stabilizer (DCS) that retimes the nonsampling edge, providing an internal clock signal with a nominal 50% duty cycle. This allows a wide range of clock input duty cycles without affecting the performance of the AD9277. When the DCS is on, noise and distortion performance are nearly flat for a wide range of duty cycles. However, some applications may require the DCS function to be off. If so, keep in mind that the dynamic range performance can be affected when operated in this mode. See Table 18 for more details on using this feature. Rev. 0 | Page 33 of 48 AD9277 300 CURRENT (mA) 250 Clock Jitter Considerations High speed, high resolution ADCs are sensitive to the quality of the clock input.

Ideal SNR vs. Input Frequency and Jitter Power Dissipation and Power-Down Mode As shown in Figure 69 and Figure 70, the power dissipated by the AD9277 is proportional to its sample rate.

It is also recommended that the LNA offset be adjusted using Register 0x10 (see Table 18) when the LNA bias setting is low. 08181-062 SNR (dB) 50 215 110 30 40 Figure 69.

Power supplies for clock drivers should be separated from the ADC output driver supplies to avoid modulating the clock signal with digital noise. Low jitter, crystal-controlled oscillators make the best clock sources, such as the Valpey Fisher VFAC3 series. If the clock is generated from another type of source (by gating, dividing, or other methods), it should be retimed by the original clock during the last step. 130 IAVDD1 08181-063 The duty cycle stabilizer uses a delay-locked loop (DLL) to create the nonsampling edge. As a result, any changes to the sampling frequency require approximately eight clock cycles to allow the DLL to acquire and lock to the new rate. Figure 71. AVDD2 Current at Different LNA Bias Settings, fSAMPLE = 50 MSPS Rev. 0 | Page 34 of 48 AD9277 By asserting the STBY pin high, the AD9277 is placed into a standby mode. In this state, the device typically dissipates 200 mW. During standby, the entire part is powered down except for the internal references. The LVDS output drivers are placed into a high impedance state. This mode is well suited for applications that require power savings because it allows the device to be powered down when not in use and then quickly powered up. The time to power the device back up is also greatly reduced. The AD9277 returns to normal operating mode when the STBY pin is pulled low. This pin is both 1.8 V and 3.3 V tolerant. In power-down mode, low power dissipation is achieved by shutting down the reference, reference buffer, PLL, and biasing networks. The decoupling capacitors on VREF are discharged when entering power-down mode and must be recharged when returning to normal operation. As a result, the wake-up time is related to the time spent in the power-down mode: shorter cycles result in proportionally shorter wake-up times. To restore the device to full operation, approximately 0.5 ms is required when using the recommended 1 μF and 0.1 μF decoupling capacitors on the VREF pin and the 0.01 μF decoupling capacitors on the GAIN± pins. Most of this time is dependent on the gain decoupling: higher value decoupling capacitors on the GAIN± pins result in longer wake-up times. A number of other power-down options are available when using the SPI port interface. The user can individually power down each channel or put the entire device into standby mode. This allows the user to keep the internal PLL powered up when fast wake-up times are required. The wake-up time is slightly dependent on gain. To achieve a 1 μs wake-up time when the device is in standby mode, 0.8 V must be applied to the GAIN± pins. See Table 18 for more details on using these features. DIGITAL OUTPUTS AND TIMING The AD9277 differential outputs conform to the ANSI-644 LVDS standard on default power-up. This can be changed to a low power, reduced signal option similar to the IEEE 1596.3 standard via the SPI, using Register 0x14, Bit 6. This LVDS standard can further reduce the overall power dissipation of the device by approximately 36 mW. The LVDS driver current is derived on chip and sets the output current at each output equal to a nominal 3.5 mA. A 100 Ω differential termination resistor placed at the LVDS receiver inputs results in a nominal 350 mV swing at the receiver. The AD9277 LVDS outputs facilitate interfacing with LVDS receivers in custom ASICs and FPGAs that have LVDS capability for superior switching performance in noisy environments. Single point-to-point network topologies are recommended with a 100 Ω termination resistor placed as close to the receiver as possible. No far-end receiver termination and poor differential trace routing may result in timing errors. It is recommended that the trace length be no longer than 24 inches and that the differential output traces be kept close together and at equal lengths. An example of the FCO, DCO, and data stream with proper trace length and position is shown in Figure 72. CH1 500mV/DIV = DCO CH2 500mV/DIV = DATA CH3 500mV/DIV = FCO 5.0ns/DIV 08181-066 By asserting the PDWN pin high, the AD9277 is placed into power-down mode. In this state, the device typically dissipates 5 mW. During power-down, the LVDS output drivers are placed into a high impedance state. The AD9277 returns to normal operating mode when the PDWN pin is pulled low. This pin is both 1.8 V and 3.3 V tolerant. Figure 72. LVDS Output Timing Example in ANSI-644 Mode (Default) An example of the LVDS output using the ANSI-644 standard (default) data eye and a time interval error (TIE) jitter histogram with trace lengths less than 24 inches on regular FR-4 material is shown in Figure 73. Figure 74 shows an example of the trace lengths exceeding 24 inches on regular FR-4 material. Notice that the TIE jitter histogram reflects the decrease of the data eye opening as the edge deviates from the ideal position; therefore, the user must determine whether the waveforms meet the timing budget of the design when the trace lengths exceed 24 inches. Additional SPI options allow the user to further increase the internal termination (and therefore increase the current) of all eight outputs in order to drive longer trace lengths (see Figure 75). Even though this produces sharper rise and fall times on the data edges, is less prone to bit errors, and improves frequency distribution (see Figure 75), the power dissipation of the DRVDD supply increases when this option is used. In cases that require increased driver strength to the DCO± and FCO± outputs because of load mismatch, the user can double the drive strength by setting Bit 0 in Register 0x15. Note that this feature cannot be used with Bits[5:4] in Register 0x15 because these bits take precedence over this feature. See Table 18 for more details.

DCO± is used to clock the output data and is equal to six times the sampling clock rate. Data is clocked out of the AD9277 and must be captured on the rising and falling edges of DCO±, which supports double data rate (DDR) capturing. The frame clock output (FCO±) is used to signal the start of a new output byte and is equal to the sampling clock rate. See the timing diagram shown in Figure 2 for more information.

The data rate for each serial stream is equal to 14 bits times the sample clock rate, with a maximum of 700 Mbps (14 bits × 50 MSPS = 700 Mbps). The lowest typical conversion rate is 10 MSPS, but the PLL can be set up for encode rates as low as 5 MSPS via the SPI if lower sample rates are required for a specific application. See Table 18 for details on enabling this feature. When using the SPI, all of the data outputs can also be inverted from their nominal state by setting Bit 2 in the output mode register (Address 0x14). This is not to be confused with inverting the serial stream to an LSB first mode. In default mode, as shown in Figure 2, the MSB is represented first in the data output serial stream. However, this order can be inverted so that the LSB is represented first in the data output serial stream (see Figure 3). There are 14 digital output test pattern options available that can be initiated through the SPI. This feature is useful when validating receiver capture and timing. Refer to Table 13 for the output bit sequencing options available. Some test patterns have two serial sequential words and can be alternated in various ways, depending on the test pattern chosen. Note that some patterns may not adhere to the data format select option. In addition, custom user-defined test patterns can be assigned in the user pattern registers (Address 0x19 through Address 0x1C). All test mode options except PN sequence short and PN sequence long can support 8- to 14-bit word lengths in order to verify data capture to the receiver. The PN sequence short pattern produces a pseudorandom bit sequence that repeats itself every 29 − 1 bits, or 511 bits. A description of the PN sequence short and how it is generated can be found in Section 5.1 of the ITU-T O.150 (05/96) standard. The only difference is that the starting value is a specific value instead of all 1s (see Table 14 for the initial values). Rev. 0 | Page 37 of 48 AD9277 Table 13.

SDIO Pin This pin is required to operate the SPI. It has an internal 30 kΩ pull-down resistor that pulls this pin low and is only 1.8 V tolerant. If applications require that this pin be driven from a 3.3 V logic level, insert a 1 kΩ resistor in series with this pin to limit the current. SCLK Pin This pin is required to operate the SPI port interface. It has an internal 30 kΩ pull-down resistor that pulls this pin low and is both 1.8 V and 3.3 V tolerant. CSB Pin This pin is required to operate the SPI port interface. It has an internal 70 kΩ pull-up resistor that pulls this pin high and is both 1.8 V and 3.3 V tolerant. A stable and accurate 0.5 V voltage reference is built into the AD9277. This is gained up internally by a factor of 2, setting VREF to 1.0 V, which results in a full-scale differential input span of 2.0 V p-p for the ADC. VREF is set internally by default, but the VREF pin can be driven externally with a 1.0 V reference to achieve more accuracy. However, the AD9277 does not support ADC full-scale ranges below 2.0 V p-p. When applying the decoupling capacitors to the VREF pin, use ceramic, low ESR capacitors. These capacitors should be close to the reference pin and on the same layer of the PCB as the AD9277. The VREF pin should have both a 0.1 μF capacitor and a 1 μF capacitor connected in parallel to the analog ground. These capacitor values are recommended for the ADC to properly settle and acquire the next valid sample. The reference settings can be selected using the SPI. The settings allow two options: using the internal reference or using an external reference. The internal reference option is the default setting and has a resulting differential span of 2 V p-p.

The SPI offers the user added flexibility and customization, depending on the application. Addresses are accessed via the serial port and can be written to or read from via the port. Memory is organized into bytes that can be further divided into fields, as documented in the Memory Map section. Detailed operational information can be found in the Analog Devices, Inc., AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI. Table 16. Serial Port Pins Pin SCLK SDIO CSB Three pins define the serial port interface, or SPI: SCLK, SDIO, and CSB (see Table 16). The SCLK (serial clock) pin is used to synchronize the read and write data presented to the device. The SDIO (serial data input/output) pin is a dual-purpose pin that allows data to be sent to and read from the internal memory map registers of the device. The CSB (chip select bar) pin is an active low control that enables or disables the read and write cycles. tDS tS tHIGH Function Serial clock. Serial shift clock input. SCLK is used to synchronize serial interface reads and writes. Serial data input/output. Dual-purpose pin that typically serves as an input or an output, depending on the instruction sent and the relative position in the timing frame. Chip select bar (active low). This control gates the read and write cycles. The falling edge of CSB in conjunction with the rising edge of SCLK determines the start of the framing sequence. During an instruction phase, a 16-bit instruction is transmitted, followed by one or more data bytes, which is determined by Bit Field W0 and Bit Field W1. An example of the serial timing and its definitions can be found in Figure 76 and Table 17. tCLK tH tDH tLOW CSB DON’T CARE SDIO DON’T CARE DON’T CARE R/W W1 W0 A12 A11 A10 A9 A8 A7 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 DON’T CARE Figure 76.

If the instruction is a readback operation, performing a readback causes the serial data input/output (SDIO) pin to change direction from an input to an output at the appropriate point in the serial frame. HARDWARE INTERFACE The pins described in Table 16 constitute the physical interface between the user’s programming device and the serial port of the AD9277. The SCLK and CSB pins function as inputs when using the SPI. The SDIO pin is bidirectional, functioning as an input during write phases and as an output during readback. If multiple SDIO pins share a common connection, ensure that proper VOH levels are met. Figure 77 shows the number of SDIO pins that can be connected together and the resulting VOH level, assuming the same load for each AD9277. 1.800 1.795 1.790 1.785 1.780 1.775 1.770 1.765 1.760 1.755 1.750 1.745 1.740 1.735 1.730 1.725 1.720 1.715 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 NUMBER OF SDIO PINS CONNECTED TOGETHER 100 08181-071 In addition to the operation modes, the SPI port can be configured to operate in different manners. For applications that do not require a control port, the CSB line can be tied and held high. This places the remainder of the SPI pins in their secondary mode (see the AN-877 Application Note). CSB can also be tied low to enable 2-wire mode. When CSB is tied low, SCLK and SDIO are the only pins required for communication. Although the device is synchronized during power-up, caution must be exercised when using 2-wire mode to ensure that the serial port remains synchronized with the CSB line. When operating in 2-wire mode, it is recommended that a 1-, 2-, or 3-byte transfer be used exclusively. Without an active CSB line, streaming mode can be entered but not exited. Data can be sent in MSB first mode or LSB first mode. MSB first mode is the default at power-up and can be changed by adjusting the configuration register. For more information about this and other features, see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI. VOH (V) During normal operation, CSB is used to signal to the device that SPI commands are to be received and processed. When CSB is brought low, the device processes SCLK and SDIO to execute instructions. Normally, CSB remains low until the communication cycle is complete. However, if connected to a slow device, CSB can be brought high between bytes, allowing older microcontrollers enough time to transfer data into shift registers. CSB can be stalled when transferring one, two, or three bytes of data. When W0 and W1 are set to 11, the device enters streaming mode and continues to process data, either reading or writing, until CSB is taken high to end the communication cycle. This allows complete memory transfers without the need for additional instructions. Regardless of the mode, if CSB is taken high in the middle of a byte transfer, the SPI state machine is reset and the device waits for a new instruction. Figure 77. SDIO Pin Loading This interface is flexible enough to be controlled by either serial PROMs or PIC microcontrollers, providing the user with an alternative method, other than a full SPI controller, for programming the device (see the AN-812 Application Note). Rev. 0 | Page 40 of 48 AD9277 MEMORY MAP READING THE MEMORY MAP TABLE Each row in the memory map register table has eight bit locations. The memory map is roughly divided into three sections: the chip configuration register map (Address 0x00 to Address 0x02), the device index and transfer register map (Address 0x04 to Address 0xFF), and the program register map (Address 0x08 to Address 0x2D). The leftmost column of the memory map indicates the register address, and the default value is shown in the second rightmost column. The Bit 7 (MSB) column is the start of the default hexadecimal value given. For example, Address 0x09, the clock register, has a default value of 0x01, meaning that Bit 7 = 0, Bit 6 = 0, Bit 5 = 0, Bit 4 = 0, Bit 3 = 0, Bit 2 = 0, Bit 1 = 0, and Bit 0 = 1, or 0000 0001 in binary. This setting is the default for the duty cycle stabilizer in the on condition. By writing a 0 to Bit 0 of this address, followed by 0x01 in Register 0xFF (the transfer bit), the duty cycle stabilizer is turned off. It is important to follow each writing sequence with a transfer bit to update the SPI registers. All registers except Register 0x00, Register 0x02, Register 0x04, Register 0x05, and Register 0xFF are buffered with a master slave latch and require writing to the transfer bit. For more information on this and other functions, consult the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI. RESERVED LOCATIONS Undefined memory locations should not be written to except when writing the default values suggested in this data sheet. Addresses that have values marked as 0 should be considered reserved and have a 0 written into their registers during power-up. DEFAULT VALUES After a reset, critical registers are automatically loaded with default values. These values are indicated in Table 18, where an X refers to an undefined feature. LOGIC LEVELS An explanation of various registers follows: “bit is set” is synonymous with “bit is set to Logic 1” or “writing Logic 1 for the bit.” Similarly, “bit is cleared” is synonymous with “bit is set to Logic 0” or “writing Logic 0 for the bit.” Rev. 0 | Page 41 of 48 AD9277 Table 18.

AD9277 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION POWER AND GROUND RECOMMENDATIONS When connecting power to the AD9277, it is recommended that two separate 1.8 V supplies be used: one for analog (AVDD) and one for digital (DRVDD). If only one 1.8 V supply is available, it should be routed to the AVDD1 pin first and then tapped off and isolated with a ferrite bead or a filter choke preceded by decoupling capacitors for the DRVDD pin. The user should employ several decoupling capacitors on all supplies to cover both high and low frequencies. Locate these capacitors close to the point of entry at the PCB level and close to the part, with minimal trace lengths. A single PCB ground plane should be sufficient when using the AD9277. With proper decoupling and smart partitioning of the analog, digital, and clock sections of the PCB, optimum performance can be easily achieved. EXPOSED PADDLE THERMAL HEAT SLUG RECOMMENDATIONS It is required that the exposed paddle on the underside of the device be connected to analog ground to achieve the best electrical and thermal performance of the AD9277. An exposed continuous copper plane on the PCB should mate to the AD9277 exposed paddle, Pin 0. The copper plane should have several vias to achieve the lowest possible resistive thermal path for heat dissipation to flow through the bottom of the PCB. These vias should be solder-filled or plugged with nonconductive epoxy. To maximize the coverage and adhesion between the device and the PCB, partition the continuous copper plane into several uniform sections by overlaying a silkscreen or solder mask on the PCB. This ensures several tie points between the AD9277 and the PCB during the reflow process, whereas using one continuous plane with no partitions guarantees only one tie point.
