AFE5818
SBAS687B – FEBRUARY 2015 – REVISED AUGUST 2015

5 Description (continued)
The AFE5818 has a total of 16 channels, with each channel consisting of a voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA), a
simultaneous sampling 14-bit and 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and a continuous wave (CW) mixer.
The VCA includes a low-noise amplifier (LNA), a voltage-controlled attenuator (VCAT), a programmable gain
amplifier (PGA), and a low-pass filter (LPF). LNA gain is programmable and supports 250-mVPP to 1-VPP input
signals and programmable active termination. The ultra-low noise VCAT provides an attenuation control range of
40 dB and improves overall low-gain SNR, which benefits harmonic and near-field imaging. The PGA provides
gain options of 24 dB and 30 dB. In front of the ADC, an LPF can be configured at 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz,
30 MHz, 35 MHz, or 50 MHz to support ultrasound applications with different frequencies.
The AFE5818 also integrates a low-power passive mixer and a low-noise summing amplifier to create an on-chip
CWD beamformer. 16 selectable phase delays can be applied to each analog input signal. Furthermore, a
unique third- and fifth-order harmonic suppression filter is implemented to enhance CW sensitivity
The high-performance, 14-bit ADC achieves 75-dBFS SNR. This ADC ensures excellent SNR at low-chain gain.
The device can operate at maximum speeds of 65 MSPS and 80 MSPS, providing a 14-bit and a 12-bit output,
respectively.
The ADC low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) outputs enable a flexible system integration that is desirable
for miniaturized systems.
The AFE5818 also allows various power and noise combinations to be selected to optimize system performance.
Therefore, the AFE5818 is a suitable ultrasound AFE solution for both high-end and portable systems.
The AFE5818 is available in a 15-mm × 15-mm NFBGA-289 package (ZBV package, S-PBGA-N289) and are
specified for operation from –40°C to 85°C. The devices are also pin-to-pin compatible with the AFE5816 device
family.

The noise-correlation factor is defined as 10 × log10[Nc / (Nu + Nc)], where Nc is the correlated noise power in a single channel and Nu
is the uncorrelated noise power in a single channel. The noise-correlation factor measurement is described by the equation:
Nc / (Nu + Nc) = N_16CH / N_1CH / 240 – 1 / 15,
where N_16CH is the noise power of the summed 16 channels and N_1CH is the noise power of one channel.
Total device input impedance is given by the parallel combination of the mentioned active termination resistance and a passive
resistance of 15 kΩ.

All LVDS specifications are characterized but are not tested at production.
The specification for the minimum data valid window is larger than the sum of the minimum setup and hold times because there can be
a skew between the ideal transitions of the serial output data with respect to the transition of the bit clock. This skew can vary across
channels and across devices. A mechanism to correct this skew can therefore improve the setup and hold timing margins. For example,
the LVDS_DCLK_DELAY_PROG control can be used to shift the relative timing of the bit clock with respect to the data.
TX_TRIGD is the internally delayed version of TX_TRIG that gets latched on the rising edge of the ADC clock.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The AFE5818 is a highly-integrated, analog front-end (AFE) solution specifically designed for ultrasound systems
in which high performance and higher integration are required. The device integrates a complete time-gaincontrol (TGC) imaging path and a continuous wave Doppler (CWD) path. The device also enables users to select
from a variety of power and noise combinations to optimize system performance. The device contains 16
dedicated channels, each comprising a low-noise amplifier (LNA), voltage-controlled attenuator (VCAT),
programmable gain amplifier (PGA), low-pass filter (LPF), and either a 14-bit or 12-bit analog-to-digital converter
(ADC). At the output of the 16 ADCs is a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) serializer to transfer digital
data. In addition, the device also contains a continuous wave (CW) mixer. Multiple features in the device are
suitable for ultrasound applications (such as active termination, individual channel control, fast power-up and
power-down response, programmable clamp voltage control, fast and consistent overload recovery, and digital
processing). Therefore, this device brings premium image quality to ultra-portable, handheld systems all the way
up to high-end ultrasound systems. In addition, the signal chain of the device can handle signal frequencies as
low as 10 kHz and as high as 50 MHz. This broad analog frequency range enables the device to be used in both
sonar and medical applications. See the Functional Block Diagram section for a simplified function block
diagram.

9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 Low-Noise Amplifier
In many high-gain systems, a low-noise amplifier is critical to achieve overall performance. The device uses new
proprietary architecture and a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) input transistor to achieve exceptional low-noise
performance when operating on a low-quiescent current.
9.3.1.1 Input Signal Support
The LNA takes a single-ended input signal and converts it to a differential output signal that is configurable for
programmable gains of 24 dB, 18 dB, and 12 dB. The differential output signal has an input-referred noise of
0.63 nV/√Hz, 0.70 nV/√Hz, and 0.9 nV/√Hz, respectively, across the different gain modes. The LNA supports a
maximum linear differential output swing of 4 VPP across all gain settings. Therefore, depending on the LNA gain,
the maximum linear input swing support changes from 250 mVPP, 500 mVPP, and 1 VPP, for LNA gains of 24 dB,
18 dB, and 12 dB, respectively.
9.3.1.2 Input Circuit
The LNA input pin (INPx) is internally biased at approximately 2.2 V. AC couple the input signal to the INPx pin
with an adequately-sized capacitor, CIN. TI recommends using a 0.1-μF capacitor for CIN. Similarly, the active
termination pin is internally biased at 1.5 V. TI recommends connecting a 1-µF capacitor (CACT) from the active
termination pin (ACTx) to the INP capacitor, as shown in Figure 63.

9.3.1.3 LNA High-Pass Filter
To reject an unwanted low-frequency leakage signal from the transducer and to achieve low dc offset drift from
the device, the AFE5818 incorporates a dc offset correction circuit for each amplifier stage; see Figure 63. This
circuit extracts the low-frequency component from the LNA output, which is then fed back to the LNA
complementary input for low-frequency signal rejection. Afterwards, this feedback circuit functions as a high-pass
filter (HPF). The effective corner frequency of the HPF is determined by the CBYPASS capacitor connected at the
INMx pin of the device. The corner frequency is lower with larger CBYPASS capacitors. A large capacitor (such as
1 μF) can be used for setting the low corner frequency (< 2 kHz) of the LNA dc offset correction circuit. For
stable operation, the minimum value of the CBYPASS capacitor that is supported by device is 15 nF. To disable
this HPF, set the LNA_HPF_DIS register bit to 1. Note that disabling this HPF results in a large dc offset at the
device output. Also, for a given INMx capacitor, the corner frequency of the HPF can be programmed using the
LNA_HPF_PROG bit. Table 1 lists the HPF corner frequency for any arbitrary CBYPASS capacitor connected at the
INMx pin across various LNA_HPF_PROG bit settings.

The LNA HPF corner frequency can be reduced by 3X by setting the RED_LNA_HPF_3X (register 205, bit 8) bit
to 1. For instance, if the INMx capacitor is 15 nF, the LNA_HPF_PROG bits are set to 01, and
RED_LNA_HPF_3X is set to 1, then the LNA HPF corner frequency is given by 50 kHz / 3 = 16.6 kHz. Figure 28
and Figure 29 illustrate the low-frequency noise for various LNA_HPF_PROG, RED_LNA_HPF_3X, and INM
capacitor combinations.
9.3.1.4 LNA Input Impedance
In ultrasound applications, signal reflection exists as a result of long cables between the transducer and system.
This reflection results in extra ringing added to echo signals in PW mode. This ringing effect can degrade the
axial resolution, which depends on the echo signal length. Therefore, either passive termination or active
termination is preferred if good axial resolution is desired. Figure 64 shows three termination configurations: no
termination, active termination, and passive termination.

Under the no termination configuration, the input impedance of the device is approximately 6 kΩ (8 KΩ // 20 pF)
at 1 MHz. Passive termination requires an external termination resistor (Rt), which contributes to additional
thermal noise. The LNA supports active termination with programmable values, as shown in Figure 65.

The device has four pre-settings: 50 Ω, 100 Ω, 200 Ω, and 400 Ω, which are configurable through the registers.
Other termination values can be realized by setting the termination switches shown in Figure 65. The
ACT_TERM_IND_RES register (register 196, bits 4-0) is used to enable these switches. The input impedance of
the LNA under the active termination configuration approximately follows Equation 1:

/ /CIN / /RIN

where:
•
RIN (8 kΩ) and CIN (20 pF) are the input resistance and capacitance of the LNA, respectively.
(1)
Table 75 lists the LNA RINs under different LNA gains. System designers can achieve fine tuning for different
probes. Therefore, ZIN is frequency dependent and decreases as frequency increases; see Figure 9. This rollingoff effect does not greatly affect system performance because 2 MHz to 10 MHz is the most commonly-used
frequency range in medical ultrasound applications. Active termination can be applied to both CW and TGC
modes; however, resulting from NF concerns, CW mode can use no termination mode. The flexibility of the
impedance configuration is of great benefit because each ultrasound system includes multiple transducers with
different impedances.
Figure 36, Figure 37, Figure 38, Figure 39, and Figure 40 illustrate the noise frequency (NF) under different
termination configurations. All these NF plots indicate that no termination achieves the best noise figure.
However, active termination adds less noise than passive termination. Thus, termination topology must be
carefully selected based on each scenario in an ultrasound application.

9.3.1.5 LNA Gain Switch Response
The LNA gain is programmable through the LNA_GAIN_GBL (register 196, bits 14-13) SPI registers. The gain
switching time depends on the SPI speed as well as the LNA gain response time. During switching, glitches can
occur and sometimes appear as artifacts in images. In addition, the signal chain requires approximately 14 µs to
settle after the LNA gain change. Thus, the LNA gain switching may not be preferred when switching time or
settling time for the signal chain is limited. Note that a gain switch also changes the voltage level of clamping
diodes; therefore, the setting time of the clamp circuit must be considered.
9.3.1.6 LNA Noise Contribution
The noise specification is critical for the LNA and determines the dynamic range of the entire system. The device
LNA achieves low power, an exceptionally low-noise voltage of 0.63 nV/√Hz, and a low-current noise of
2.7 pA/√Hz.
Typical ultrasonic transducer 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. Total LNA noise can be computed with Equation 2.

LNA _ Noise total = VLNAnoise
+ R2s ´ ILNAnoise
(2)
The device achieves a low noise figure (NF) over a wide range of source resistances; see Figure 36, Figure 37,
Figure 38, Figure 39, and Figure 40.
9.3.1.7 LNA Overload Recovery
To avoid any image artifacts in an ultrasound system, the device must offer consistent and fast overload recovery
response. In order to achieve this response, a clamping circuit is used on the active termination path; see
Figure 63 to create a low-impedance path when an overload signal is detected by the device. The clamp circuit
limits large input signals at the LNA inputs and improves the overload recovery performance. The clamp level
can be automatically set to 350 mVPP, 600 mVPP, or 1.15 VPP, depending on the LNA gain settings when the
INPUT_CLAMP_LVL register (register 196, bits 10-9) is set to 00. Other clamp voltages (such as 1.15 VPP, 0.6
VPP, and 1.5 VPP) are also achievable by setting different combinations of the INPUT_CLAMP_LVL bits. This
clamping circuit is also designed to obtain good pulse inversion performance and reduce the affect of
asymmetrical inputs. For very large overload signals (> 6 dB of the linear input signal range), TI recommends
using back-to-back Schottky clamping diodes at the input to limit the amplitude of the input signal.
9.3.2 Voltage-Controlled Attenuator
The voltage-controlled attenuator is designed to have a linear-in-dB attenuation characteristic (that is, the
average attenuation in dB; see Figure 3) that is constant for each equal increment of the control voltage (VCNTL
= VCNTLP – VCNTLM). In the device, a differential control structure is used to reduce common-mode noise.
However, a single-ended control voltage is also supported. A simplified attenuator structure is illustrated in
Figure 66 and Figure 67 for analog and digital structures, respectively.

Figure 67. Simplified Voltage-Controlled Attenuator (Digital Structure)
The attenuator is essentially a variable voltage divider that consists of the series input resistor (RS) and seven
shunt field-effect transistors (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 0-V to 1.5-V control voltage range.
As 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 onstate and the control voltage continues to rise, the next clipping amplifier and 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 a
maximum signal attenuation. Therefore, each FET functions to decrease the shunt resistance of the voltage
divider formed by RS and the parallel FET network. Even though splitting the control voltage into seven segments
achieves the full attenuation through different setoff transistors, the gain curve across the VCNTL voltage slightly
deviates from the ideal dB-linear curve. The typical ripple is in the order of ±0.5 dB.
The typical gain range for this VCAT is approximately 40 dB, and this gain range is independent of the LNA and
PGA gain settings. The TGC gain curve is inversely proportional to the voltage difference between VCNTLP and
VCNTLM. The maximum attenuation (minimum channel gain) of the TGC gain curve appears at VCNTLP –
VCNTLM = 1.5 V, and minimum attenuation (maximum channel gain) of the TGC gain curve occurs at
VCNTLP – VCNTLM = 0 V.
The total channel gain for an 18-dB LNA gain and a 24-dB PGA gain setting, for different VCNTL values, is
illustrated in Figure 2.
When the device operates in CW mode, the attenuator stage remains connected to the LNA outputs. Therefore,
powering down the VCA is recommended using the PDWN_VCA_PGA (register 197, bit 12) register bit. In this
case, the VCNTLP and VCNTLM voltage does not matter.
9.3.2.1 Digital TGC
Additionally, a digitally-controlled TGC mode is implemented to achieve better phase-noise performance in the
device. The attenuator can be controlled digitally instead of by the analog control voltage, VCNTL. This mode
can be set by the EN_DIG_TGC (register 203, bit 7) register bit. The variable voltage divider is implemented as a
fixed series resistance and a FET is implemented as the shunt resistance. Each FET can be turned on by
connecting the SW[7:1] switches. Turning on each of these switches provides approximately 6 dB of attenuation.
This attenuation can be controlled by the DIG_TGC_ATTENUATION (register 203, bits 6-4) register bits. This
digital control feature can eliminate the noise from the VCNTL circuit and provide better SNR and phase noise for
the TGC path. This digital TGC can be used for PW Doppler or color Doppler modes to achieve better
performance than analog TGC.

9.3.2.2 Control Voltage Input
As previously mentioned, VCNTLP and VCNTLM can be driven by either a differential or a single-ended signal.
For single-ended operation, VCNTLM can be grounded and VCNTLP can be swept from 0 V to 1.5 V. The TGC
gain profile for the single-ended VCNTL is as shown in Figure 68a. For differentially driving VCNTL, VCNTLP
must always be kept higher than VCNTLM with a typical common-mode of 0.75 V, as shown in Figure 68b.

Figure 68. VCNTLP and VCNTLM Configurations
The VCNTL pins are high-impedance pins, and the VCNTL pins of multiple devices can be connected in parallel
with no significant loading effect. When the voltage level (VCNTLP, VCNTLM) is above 1.5 V or below 0 V, the
attenuator continues to operate at its maximum attenuation level or minimum attenuation level, respectively.
Limiting the voltage from –0.3 V to 2 V is recommended.
The VCNTL inputs have an approximate bandwidth of 800 kHz. This wide bandwidth, although useful in many
applications (such as 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 the VCNTLM and VCNTLP, pins as Figure 104 illustrates. However, the
external filter cutoff frequency cannot be kept too low, which results in a low gain response time. Without an
external filter on the VCNTLP, VCNTLM pins, the gain control response time typically requires less than 1 μs, as
indicated in Figure 54.

Figure 69. Allowed Noise on the VCNTL Signal Across Frequency and Different Channels
Typical VCNTLM and VCNTLP signals are generated by an 8-bit to 12-bit, 10-MSPS, digital-to-analog converter
(DAC) and a differential operation amplifier. TI’s DACs, such as the TLV5626, DAC7821. Differential amplifiers
with output common-mode voltage control (that is, the THS4130 and OPA1632) can connect the DAC to the
VCNTLM and VCNTLP pins. The buffer amplifier can also be configured as an active filter to suppress low
frequency noise. The VCNTLM and VCNTLP circuit achieve low noise in order to prevent the VCNTLM and
VCNTLP noise from being modulated to RF signals. VCNTLM and VCNTLP noise is recommended to be below
25 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz and 5 nV/√Hz at 50 kHz. For more information, see the THS413x data sheet and application
report Design for a Wideband Differential Transimpedance DAC Output (SBAA150).
9.3.2.3 Voltage Attenuator Noise
The voltage-controlled attenuator noise follows a monotonic relationship to the attenuation coefficient. At higher
attenuation the input-referred noise is higher, and vice-versa. The attenuator noise is then amplified by the PGA
and becomes the noise floor at the ADC input. In the high attenuation operating range of the attenuator (that is,
when VCNTL is high), the attenuator input noise can exceed the LNA output noise. The attenuator then becomes
the dominant noise source for the following PGA stage and ADC. Therefore, minimize the attenuator noise
compared to the LNA output noise. The device attenuator is designed for achieving very low noise even at high
attenuation (low channel gain) and realizing better SNR of near-field imaging in ultrasound systems. The inputreferred noise for different attenuations are listed in Table 2.

9.3.3 Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA)
After the voltage-controlled attenuator, a programmable gain amplifier can be configured as 24 dB or 30 dB with
a constant input-referred noise of 1.75 nV/√Hz. The PGA structure consists of a differential voltage-to-current
(V2I) converter with programmable gain, clamping circuits, a transimpedance amplifier (I2V) with a
programmable third-order low-pass filter, and a dc offset correction circuit. The simplified PGA block diagram is
shown in Figure 70.

9.3.3.1 PGA Clamp
The PGA consists of two clamp circuits, positioned as shown in Figure 70. These clamps limit the amplitude of
the overloaded signal and therefore provide better overload recovery performance.
An input-to-voltage (I2V) block in the PGA supports a maximum output swing of 2 VPP, which means that the
maximum allowed signal amplitude supported at the voltage-to-input (V2I) block input is 125 mVPP (for a PGA
gain = 24 dB) or 62.5 mVPP (for a PGA gain = 30 dB). If the input signal amplitude of the V2I bock is much higher
than the allowable range, then the V2I input can be clamped using a voltage clamp as shown in Figure 70. This
voltage clamp is disabled by default and can be enabled by using the V2I_CLAMP (register 205, bit 13) register
bit.
A current clamp is at the output of the V2I block, as shown in Figure 70, to further limit the overload signal
amplitude. This current clamp can be programmed through the PGA_CLAMP_DIS (register 195, bit 7) and
PGA_CLAMP_LVL (register 195, bit 6) register bits. Note that in low-power and medium-power modes, the
current clamp is disabled for power savings if PGA_CLAMP_DIS (register 195, bit 7) = 0. This current clamp
helps obtain a better overload recovery response. Without enabling this current clamp, at a 0.5-V VCNTL, the
device shows a standard deviation of 4 LSBs at the output signal immediately after the overload. However, with
the current clamp enabled, the standard deviation approaches 3.2 LSBs, meaning that the device requires less
time to reach stable output. Also note that when the PGA output levels are greater than –2 dBFS and the current
clamp is enabled, there is a degradation of approximately 3 dB to 5 dB in HD3 performance.
If the V2I block input is massively overloaded, the output of the I2V block can become saturated even if the
voltage and current clamp described previously is enabled. When the I2V block becomes saturated, higher-order
harmonics are generated that are aliased back to signal bandwidth after sampling. To avoid this undesirable V2I
output saturation, a current clamp can be programmed to –6 dBFs, using the PGA_CLAMP_HALF bit (register
205, bit 15).

9.3.3.2 Low-Pass Filter (LPF)
The current from the V2I is fed to a programmable transimpedance amplifier, which also functions as a low-pass
filter (LPF). The LPF is designed as a differential, active, third-order filter with Butterworth characteristics and a
typical 18-dB per octave roll-off. Programmable through the serial interface, the –1-dB frequency corner can be
set to 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz, 30 MHz, 35 MHz, or 50 MHz. The filter bandwidth is set for all channels
simultaneously. When very low bandwidth is desired (usually when suppressing higher order harmonics to a very
low value), a 5-MHz filtering mode can be enabled using the SUPRESS_HIGHER_HARMONICS (register 205,
bit 14) bit. However, enabling this mode can cause higher gain variation across devices when compared to other
filter corner modes.
9.3.3.3 High-Pass Filter (HPF)
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. This circuit extracts the dc component of the PGA outputs, which are fed back to the PGA
complimentary inputs for dc offset correction. This dc offset correction circuit also has a high-pass response with
a cutoff frequency of 80 kHz. This HPF is enabled by default and can be disabled by using the PGA_HPF_DIS
(register 195, bit 4) bit.
9.3.3.4 Noise
Low input noise is always preferred in a PGA and its noise contribution must not degrade the ADC SNR too
much after the attenuator. The PGA is designed as a 24-dB or 30-dB gain with a constant input-referred noise of
1.75 nV/√Hz. The LNA noise dominates at minimum attenuation (used for small input signals), and the PGA and
ADC noise dominate at maximum attenuation (large input signals). Thus, a 24-dB PGA gain achieves better SNR
as long as the amplified signals can exceed the noise floor of the ADC.
9.3.4 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
The device supports a high-performance, 14-bit ADC that achieves 72-dBFS SNR. This ADC ensures excellent
SNR at low-chain gain. The ADC can operate at maximum speeds of 65 MSPS and 80 MSPS, providing a 14-bit
and a 12-bit output, respectively. The low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) outputs of the ADC enable a
flexible system integration that is desirable for miniaturized systems. In the following sections, full description of
all inputs and outputs of the ADC with different configurations are provided along with suitable examples.
9.3.4.1 System Clock Input
The 16 channels on the device operate from a single clock input. To ensure that the aperture delay and jitter are
the same for all channels, the device uses a clock tree network to generate individual sampling clocks for each
channel. The clock lines for all channels are matched from the source point to the sampling circuit for each of the
16 internal ADCs. The delay variation is described by the aperture delay parameter of the Output Interface
Timing Characteristics table. Variation over time is described by the aperture jitter parameter of the Output
Interface Timing Characteristics table.
This system clock input can be driven differentially (sine wave, LVPECL, or LVDS) or single-ended (LVCMOS).
The device clock input has an internal buffer and clock amplifier (see Figure 71) which is enabled or disabled
automatically, depending on the type of clock provided (auto-detect feature).

If the preferred clocking scheme for the device is single-ended, connect the CLKM pin to ground (in other words,

internal clock buffer and the device automatically goes into a single-ended clock input. Connect the single-ended
clock source directly (without decoupling) to the CLKP pin, which is the only device clock input available because
CLKM is connected to ground. Therefore, TI recommends using low-jitter, square signals (LVCMOS levels, 1.8-V

details).

couple the clock input is as shown in Figure 73. This same scheme applies when the clock is single-ended but
the clock amplitude is either small or its edges are not sharp (for instance, with a sinusoidal single-ended clock).
In this case, the input clock signal can be connected with a capacitor to CLKP (as in Figure 73) and connect
CLKM to ground through a capacitor (that is, ac-coupled to AVSS).
If a transformer is used with the secondary coil floating (for instance, to convert from single-ended to differential),
the transformer can be connected directly to the clock inputs without requiring the 10-nF series capacitors.

point to the sampling circuit of each of the eight internal devices. The variation on this delay is described in the
Aperture Delay parameter of the Output Interface Timing Characteristics table. Variation is described by the
aperture jitter parameter of the Output Interface Timing Characteristics table.
The system clock input can be driven by differential clocks (sine wave, LVPECL, or LVDS) or single-ended
clocks (LVCMOS). In the single-ended case, TI recommends the use of low-jitter square signals (LVCMOS
levels, 1.8-V amplitude). See technical brief, Clocking High-Speed Data Converters, SLYT075 for further details
on the theory.
The jitter cleaners CDCM7005, CDCE72010, or LMK048X series are suitable to generate the system clock and
ensure high performance for the 14-bit device resolution. Figure 74 shows a clock distribution network.

9.3.4.3 LVDS Interface
The device supports an LVDS output interface in order to transfer device digital data serially to an FPGA. The
device has a total of 18 LVDS output lines. One of these pairs is a serial data clock, another pair is a data
framing clock, and the remaining 16 pairs are dedicated for data transfer. A graphical representation of the LVDS
output is shown in Figure 75.

9.3.4.3.1 LVDS Buffer
The equivalent circuit of each LVDS output buffer is shown in Figure 76. The buffer is designed for an output
impedance of 100 Ω (ROUT). The differential outputs can be terminated at the receiver end by a 100-Ω
termination. The buffer output impedance functions like a source-side series termination. By absorbing reflections
from the receiver end, the buffer output impedance helps improve signal integrity. Note that this internal
termination can neither be disabled nor its value changed.

9.3.4.3.2.2 2X Data Rate Mode
In 2X data rate mode, only half of the LVDS lines are used to transfer data. Thus, this mode is useful for saving
power when lower sampling frequency ranges permit. This mode is enabled with the LVDS_RATE_2X register bit
(register 1, bit 14). After enabling this mode, the digital data from two ADCs are transmitted with a single LVDS
lane. When compared to the 1X data rate mode, the 2X data rate mode serial clock frequency is doubled, but the
frame clock frequency remains the same (for the same serialization factor and ADC resolution).
When the frame clock is high, data on DOUT1 corresponds to channel 1, DOUT2 corresponds to channel 3, and
so forth. When the frame clock is low, DOUT1 transmits channel 2 data, DOUT2 transmits channel 4 data, and
so forth.
Figure 80 and Figure 81 show a timing diagram for the 14-bit and 12-bit 2X mode, respectively. Channel and
LVDS data line mapping for this mode are listed in Table 3. Note that idle LVDS lines are not powered down by
default. To save power, these lines can be powered down using the corresponding power-down bits
(PDN_LVDSx).

9.3.4.4.1.1 Manual Offset Correction
If the channel offset is known, the appropriate value can be written in the OFFSET_CHx register (bits 13-0, offset
for channel x). The offset value programmed in the OFFSET_CHx register (bits 13-0) subtracts out from the ADC
output. The offset of each of the 16 ADC output channels can be independently programmed. The same offset
value must be programmed into two adjacent offset registers. For instance, when programming the channel 1
offset value 0000011101, write the same offset value of 0000011101 in registers 13 (bits 9-0) and 14 (bits 9-0).

9.3.4.4.1.2 Auto Offset Correction Mode (Offset Correction using a Built-In Offset Calculation Function)
The auto offset calculation module can be used to calculate the channel offset that is then subtracted from the
ADC output. To enable the auto offset correction mode, set the OFFSET_REMOVAL_SELF bit to 1.
In auto offset correction mode the dc component of the ADC output (assumed to be the channel offset) is
estimated using a digital accumulator. The ADC output sample set used by the accumulator is determined by a
start time or first sample and number of samples to be used. Figure 83 illustrates the options available to
determine the accumulator sample set. A high pulse on the TX_TRIG pin or setting the
OFFSET_REMOVAL_START_MANUAL register can be used to determine the accumulator first sample. To set
the number of samples, the AUTO_OFFSET_REMOVAL_ACC_CYCLES register (bits 12-9) must be
programmed according to Table 4.
If a pulse on the TX_TRIG pin is used to set the first sample, additional flexibility in setting the first sample is
provided. A programmable delay between the TX_TRIG pulse and first sample can be set by writing to the
OFFSET_CORR_DELAY_FROM_TX_TRIG register.
The determined offset value can be read out channel wise. Set the channel number in the
AUTO_OFFSET_REMOVAL_VAL_RD_CH_SEL register and read the offset value for the corresponding channel
in the AUTO_OFFSET_REMOVAL_VAL_RD register.

9.3.4.4.2 Digital Average
The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the signal chain can be further improved by averaging two channels with the

described in Table 5.

NOTE
Idle LVDS lines are not powered down by default. To save power, these lines can be
powered down using corresponding power-down bits (PDN_LVDSx).
The serialization factor must be greater than the ADC resolution to obtain SNR
improvement after averaging in 12b resolution.
9.3.4.4.3 Digital Gain
To enable the digital gain block, set DIG_GAIN_EN (register 3, bit 12) to 1. When enabled, the gain value for
channel x (where x is from 1 to 16) can be set with the register bits for the corresponding channel (GAIN_CHx,
bits 15-11). Gain is given as [0 dB + 0.2 dB × GAIN CHx (bits 15-11)]. For instance, if GAIN_CH5 (bits 15-11) =
3, then channel 5 is increased by 0.6-dB gain. GAIN_CHx (bits 15-11) = 31 produces the same effect as
GAIN_CHx (bits 15-11) = 30, which sets the gain of channel x to 6 dB.

9.3.4.4.4 Digital HPF
To enable the digital high-pass filter (HPF) of channel 1 to 8 and 9 to 16, set the DIG_HPF_EN_CH1-8 (register
21, bit 0) and DIG_HPF_EN_CH9-16 (register 45, bit 0) register bits to 1, respectively.
The HPF_CORNER_CHxy register bits (where xy are 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, or 13-16) control the characteristics of a
digital high-pass transfer function applied to the output data, based on Equation 3. These bits correspond to bits
4-1 in registers 21, 33, 45, and 57, respectively (these register settings describe the value of K). The valid values
of K are 2 to 10. The digital HPF can be used to suppress low-frequency noise. Table 6 shows the cutoff
frequency versus K.

HPF output is mapped to ADC resolution bits either by truncation or a round-off operation. By default, the HPF
output is truncated to map to the ADC resolution. To enable the rounding operation to map the HPF output to the
ADC resolution, set the HPF_ROUND_ENABLE register bit (register 21, bit 5) to 1.
9.3.5 LVDS Synchronization Operation
Different test patterns can be synchronized on the LVDS serialized output lines to help set and program the
FPGA timing that receives the LVDS serial output. Of these test patterns, the ramp, toggle, and pseudo-random
sequence (PRBS) test patterns can be reset or synchronized by providing a synchronization pulse on the
TX_TRIG pin or by setting and resetting a specific register bit. The synchronization pulse on the TX_TRIG pin
must meet the setup and hold time constraints with respect to the system clock, as shown in Figure 84.

9.3.6 Continuous-Wave (CW) Beamformer
The continuous-wave Doppler is a key function in mid-end to high-end ultrasound systems. Compared to the
TGC mode, the CW path must handle high dynamic range along with strict phase noise performance. CW
beamforming is often implemented in the analog domain because of the strict requirements. Multiple
beamforming methods are implemented in ultrasound systems, including a passive delay line, active mixer, and
passive mixer. Among these approaches, the passive mixer achieves optimized power and noise. This mixer
satisfies the CW processing requirements (such as wide dynamic range, low phase noise, and accurate gain and
phase matching).
A simplified CW path block diagram and an in-phase or quadrature (I/Q) channel block diagram are illustrated in
Figure 86 and Figure 87, respectively. Each CW channel includes an 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 the I channel and sin (ωt)
for the Q channel, respectively. Depending on the application-specific CW Doppler
complex FFT processing, swapping the I and Q channels in either the field-programmable
gate array (FPGA) or digital signal processor (DSP) can be required in order to obtain
correct blood flow direction.
All blocks include well-matched, in-phase, 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 device is passive and switch based; the passive mixer adds less noise than active mixers.
The CW mixer achieves good performance at low power. Figure 88 and the calculations of Equation 4 describe
the principles of the mixer operation. The LO(t) is square-wave based and includes odd harmonic components.

SBAS687B – FEBRUARY 2015 – REVISED AUGUST 2015
From Equation 4, the third- and fifth-order harmonics from the LO can interface with the third- and fifth-order
harmonic signals in the Vi(t) or the noise around the third- and fifth-order harmonics in the Vi(t). Therefore. the
mixer performance is degraded. In order to eliminate this side effect resulting from the square-wave
demodulation, a proprietary harmonic suppression circuit is implemented in the device. The third- and fifth-order
harmonic components from the LO can be suppressed by over 12 dB. Thus, the LNA output noise around the
third- and fifth-order harmonic bands are not down-converted to base band. Hence, a better noise figure is
achieved. The conversion loss of the mixer is approximately –4 dB, which is derived from 20log10 2 / π.
The mixed current outputs of the 16 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 devices can be
further combined on the system board to implement a CW beamformer with more than 16 channels.
Multiple clock options are supported in the device CW path. Two CW clock inputs are required: an N × ƒcw clock
and a 1 × ƒcw clock, where ƒcw is the CW transmitting frequency and N can be 16, 8, 4, or 1. The most
convenient system clock solution can be selected for the device. In the 16 × ƒcw and 8 × ƒcw modes, the thirdand fifth-order harmonic suppression feature can be supported. Thus, the 16 × ƒcw and 8 × ƒcw modes achieve
better performance than the 4 × ƒcw and 1 × ƒcw modes.
9.3.6.1 16 × ƒcw Mode
The 16 × ƒcw mode achieves the best phase accuracy compared to other modes. This mode 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 devices 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 Figure 89. Each mixer clock is distributed through a 16 × 16
cross-point switch. The inputs of the cross-point switch are 16 different phases of the 1X clock. TI recommends
aligning the 1 × ƒcw and 16 × ƒcw clocks; see Figure 90.

The cross-point switch distributes the clocks with an appropriate phase delay to each mixer. For example, Vi(t) is
a received signal with a delay of (1 / 16) T. Apply a delayed LO(t) to the mixer in order to compensate for the (1 /
16) T delay. Thus, a 22.5⁰ delayed clock, that is 2π / 16 is selected for this channel. The mathematic calculation
is expressed in Equation 5.

Vo(t) represents the demodulated Doppler signal of each channel. When the Doppler signals from N channels
are summed, the signal-to-noise ratio improves. ωd is the Doppler frequency, ωo is the local oscillator frequency,
and ωn represents the high-frequency components that are filtered out.

Good phase accuracy and matching are also maintained. The quadrature clock generator is used to create inphase and quadrature clocks with exactly a 90° phase difference. The only difference between the 8 × ƒcw and 4
× ƒcw modes is the accessibility of the third- and fifth-order harmonic suppression filter. In the 8 × ƒcw mode, the
suppression filter can be supported. In both modes, a (1 / 16) T phase delay resolution is achieved by weighting
the in-phase and quadrature paths correspondingly. For example, if a delay of (1 / 16) T or 22.5° is targeted, the
weighting coefficients must follow Equation 6, assuming Iin and Qin are sin (ω0t) and cos (ω0t), respectively.

Therefore, after the I/Q mixers, phase delay in the received signals is compensated. The mixer outputs from all
channels are aligned and added linearly to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. TI recommends meeting the timing
between the 1 × fcw clock and 4 × fcw or 8 × fcw clock; see Figure 92.

9.3.6.4 CW High-Pass Filter
The summing amplifier is implemented in the device to sum and convert 16-channel mixer current outputs to a
differential voltage output. This summing amplifier has five internal gain adjustment resistors that can provide 32
different gain settings; see Table 80. 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 2000 Ω resistors after the LNA and internal or
external resistor network (Rs). Thus, the matching between these resistors plays a more important role than the
absolute resistor values. Better than 1% matching is achieved on-chip. The absolute resistor tolerance can be
higher, depending on the process variation. If external resistors are used, the gain error between the I/Q
channels or among multiple AFEs can increase. TI recommends using internal resistors to set the gain in order
to achieve better gain matching (across channels and multiple AFEs).
The device provides an extra feature to suppress undesired low-frequency signal presents at the CW output,
which is achieved by implementing an HPF at the CW output using the scheme shown in Figure 94.

Figure 95. CW Summing Amplifier Transfer Function
The high-pass corner and low-pass corner shown in Figure 95 is given by Equation 7 and Equation 8,
respectively:
Fc_hpf = Rs / (2 × π × Rh × Ch × 2000 Ω)
Fc_lpf = 1 / (2 × π × Rs × Cs)
(7)
(8)
The following rules can be used to calculate the value of different components:
1. Rs is the resistor value determined by how much signal gain is needed.
2. Cs is selected depending upon the value of Fc_lpf.
3. Rh is determined by the amplitude of the undesired low-frequency signal required to be rejected. For
instance, suppose that without enabling the CW HPF feature, the peak-to-peak amplitude of the lowfrequency signal at the CW summing amplifier output is given by Vopp. Then the value of Rh has the
relationship shown in Equation 9. The previous constraint occurs because the CW HPF amplifier output can
only swing up to 4 Vpp.
Rh < 4 × Rs / Vopp
(9)
NOTE
Higher resistance values of Rh provide better noise performance.
4. Ch is the selected value of this capacitor depending upon the value of Fc_hpf.

The CW I/Q channels are well matched internally to suppress image frequency components in the Doppler
spectrum. Use low tolerance components and precise operational amplifiers for achieving good matching in the
external circuits as well.
NOTE
The local oscillator inputs of the passive mixer are cos (ωt) for the I channel and sin (ωt)
for the Q channel, respectively. Depending on the application-specific CW Doppler
complex FFT processing, swapping I/Q channels in the FPGA or DSP may be needed in
order to obtain correct blood flow directions.

9.3.6.5 CW Clock Selection
The device can accept differential LVDS, LVPECL, and other differential clock inputs as well as a single-ended
CMOS clock. An internally-generated VCM of 2.5 V is applied to CW clock inputs (that is, CLKP_16X, CLKM_16X
and CLKP_1X, CLKM_1X). Because 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 device CW clock inputs. When the CMOS clock is
used, tie CLKM_1X and CLKM_16X to ground. Common clock configurations are shown in Figure 97.
Appropriate termination is recommended to achieve good signal integrity.
NOTE
The configurations shown in Figure 97 can also be used as a reference for the ADC clock
input.

SBAS687B – FEBRUARY 2015 – REVISED AUGUST 2015
The combination of the clock noise and the CW path noise can degrade CW performance. The internal clocking
circuit is designed for achieving excellent phase noise required by CW operation. The phase noise of the device
CW path is better than 160 dBc/Hz at a 1-kHz offset. Consequently, the phase noise of the mixer clock inputs
must be better than 160 dBc/Hz.
In the 16, 8, and 4 × ƒcw operations modes, a low-phase noise clock is required for the 16, 8, and 4 × ƒcw clocks
(that is, the CLKP_16X and CLKM_16X pins) in order to maintain good CW phase noise performance. The 1 ×
ƒcw clock (that is, the CLKP_1X and CLKM_1X pins) is only used to synchronize the multiple device chips and is
not used for demodulation. Thus, the 1 × ƒcw clock phase noise is not a concern. However, in the 1 × ƒcw
operation mode, low-phase noise clocks are required for both the CLKP_16X, CLKM_16X and CLKP_1X,
CLKM_1X pins because both are used for mixer demodulation. In general, a 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, a 5-V CMOS clock can achieve the highest slew rate.
Clock phase noise can be improved by a divider as long as the divider 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 the mixer LO clock 1 × fcw is 160 dBc/Hz at a 1kHz off the carrier, the 16 × fcw clock phase noise must be better than 160 – 20log16 = 136 dBc/Hz. TI’s jitter
cleaners LMK048x, CDCM7005, and CDCE72010 exceed this requirement and can be selected to work with the
device. In the 4X and 1X modes, higher quality input clocks are expected to achieve the same performance
because N is smaller. Thus, the 16X mode is a preferred mode because this mode reduces the phase noise
requirement for the system clock design. In addition, the phase delay accuracy is specified by the internal clock
divider and distribution circuit.
Note that in the 16X operation mode, the CW operation range is limited to 8 MHz as a result of the 16X clock.
The maximum clock frequency for the 16X clock is 128 MHz. In the 8X, 4X, and 1X modes, higher CW signal
frequencies up to 15 MHz can be supported with a small degradation in performance. For example, 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. Using one clock driver
output is not preferred to drive multiple AFEs because the clock buffer load capacitance increases by a factor of
N. The section can be used as a reference for the system clock configuration. When clock phase noise is not a
concern (for example, the 1 × ƒcw clock in the 16, 8, and 4 × ƒcw operation modes), one clock driver output can
excite more than one device. Nevertheless, special considerations must be applied for such a clock distribution
network design. Preferably, all clocks are generated from the same clock source in typical ultrasound systems
(such as 16 × ƒcw , 1 × ƒcw clocks, audio ADC clocks, RF ADC clock, pulse repetition frequency signal, frame
clock, and so on). By using the same clock source, interference resulting from clock asynchronization can be
minimized.
9.3.6.6 CW Supporting Circuits
As a general practice in the CW circuit design, in-phase and quadrature channels must 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. Because the 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, the OPA1632,
OPA2211, or THS4131). More filter design techniques can be found at www.ti.com. The TI active filter design
tool is the WEBENCH® Filter Designer. The filtered audio CW I/Q signals are sampled by audio ADCs and
processed by the 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. Because of the large dynamic range of
CW signals, high-resolution ADCs (≥ 16 bits) are required [such as the ADS8413 (2 MSPS, 16 bits, 92-dBFS
SNR) and the ADS8472 (1 MSPS, 16 bits, 95-dBFS SNR)]. ADCs for in-phase and quadrature-phase channels
must be strictly matched, not only for amplitude matching but also for phase matching in order to achieve the
best I/Q matching. In addition, the in-phase and quadrature ADC channels must be sampled simultaneously.
9.3.6.7 Power Management
Power management plays a critical role to extend battery life and to ensure a long operation time. The device
has a fast and flexible power-up and power-down control that can maximize battery life. The device can be
powered down or up through external pins or internal registers.
This section describes the functionality of different power-down pins and register bits available in the device. The
device can be divided in two major blocks, the VCA and ADC; see Figure 98 and Figure 99.

9.3.6.7.2 ADC
The ADC consists of the following blocks:
• Band-gap circuit,
• Serial interface,
• Reference voltage and current generator,
• ADC analog block that performs a sampling and conversion,
• ADC digital block that includes all the digital post processing blocks (such as the offset, gain, digital HPF, and so forth),
• LVDS data serializer and buffer that converts the ADC parallel data to a serial stream.
• LVDS frame and clock serializer and buffer,
• PLL (phase-locked loop) that generates a high-frequency clock for both the ADC and serializer.
Of all these blocks, only the band gap and serial interface block cannot be power down using power-down pins or bits. Table 8 lists which blocks in the
ADC are powered down using different pins and bits.

SBAS687B – FEBRUARY 2015 – REVISED AUGUST 2015
9.4.2 Partial Power-Up and Power-Down Mode
The partial power-up and power-down mode is also called fast power-up and power-down mode. The VCA can
be programmed in partial power-down mode either by setting the PDN_FAST pin high or setting the
FAST_PDWN (register 197, bit 14) register bit to 1. Similarly, the ADC can be programmed in this mode by
setting the PDN_FAST pin high. In this mode, most amplifiers in the signal path are powered down and the
internal reference circuits remain active as well as all the data and frame and clock LVDS serializer and buffer.
The partial power-down function allows the device to quickly wake-up from a low-power state. This configuration
ensures that the external capacitors are discharged slowly; thus, a minimum wake-up time is required as long as
the charges on these capacitors are restored. The VCA wake-up response is typically approximately 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, because the wake-up time is the time required to recharge the capacitors to the desired
operating voltages. For instance, 0.1 μF at INP and 15 nF at INM provides a wake-up time of 2.5 ms. For larger
capacitors, this time is longer. The ADC wake-up time is approximately 1 μs. Thus, the device wake-up time is
more dependent on the VCA wake-up time with the assumption that the ADC clock is running for at least 50 μs
before the 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 power savings is critical. The pulse
repetition frequency of an ultrasound system can vary from 50 kHz to 500 Hz, and the imaging depth (that is, the
active period for a receive path) varies from tens of µs to hundreds of μs. The power savings can be quite
significant when a system PRF is low. In some cases, only the VCA is powered down when the ADC runs
normally to ensure minimal interference to the FPGAs; see the Electrical Characteristics table to determine
device power dissipation in partial power-down mode.
9.4.3 Global Power-Down Mode
To achieve the lowest power dissipation, the device can be placed into a complete power-down mode. This
mode is controlled through the GBL_PDWN (for the VCA) or GLOBAL_PDN (for the ADC) registers or the
PDN_GBL pin (for both the VCA and ADC). In complete power-down mode, all circuits (including reference
circuits within the device) are powered down and the capacitors connected to the device are discharged. The
wake-up time depends on the time that the device spends in shutdown mode. 0.1 μF at INP and 15 nF at INM
provide a wake-up time of approximately 2.5 ms.
9.4.4 TGC Configuration
By default, after reset the VCA is configured in TGC mode. Depending upon the system requirements, the device
can be programmed in a suitable power mode using the POW_MODES (register 197, bits 11-10) register bits.
9.4.5 CW Configuration
To configure the device in CW mode, set the CW_TGC_SEL (register 198, bit 9) register bit to 1. To save power,
the voltage-controlled attenuator and programmable gain amplifier in the TGC path can be disabled by setting
the PDWN_VCA_PGA bit (register 197, bit 12) to 1. Also, the ADC can be powered down completely using the
GLOBAL_PDN bit (register 1, bit 0). Usually only half the number of channels in a system are active in the CW
mode. Thus, the individual channel control can power-down unused channels and save power; see Table 7 and
Table 8.
9.4.6 TGC + CW Mode
In systems that require fast switching between the TGC and CW modes, both TGC and CW mode can remain
active simply by setting the CW_TGC_SEL (register 198, bit 9) register bit to 1.

9.5 Programming
9.5.1 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Operation
Several different device modes can be programmed with the serial peripheral interface (SPI). This interface is
formed by the SEN (serial interface enable), SCLK (serial interface clock), SDIN (serial interface data), and
RESET pins. Inside the device, the SCLK and SDIN pins have a 16-kΩ, pulldown resistor to ground and the SEN
pin has a 16-kΩ, pullup resistor to the DVDD_1P8 supply. Serially shifting bits into the device is enabled when
SEN is low. SDIN serial data are latched at every SCLK rising edge when SEN is active (low). SDIN serial data
are 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 multiples of 24-bit words within a single
active SEN pulse (an internal counter counts the number of 24 clock groups after the SEN falling edge). The
interface can function with SCLK frequencies from 20 MHz down to low speeds (of a few hertz) and also with a
non-50% SCLK duty cycle. Data are divided into two main portions: the register address (8 bits) and data (16
bits). These portions are loaded on the addressed register. When writing to a register with unused bits, set these
bits to 0. Figure 101 shows this process.

9.5.1.1 Register Readout
The device includes an option where the contents of the internal registers can be read back. This readback
feature can be useful as a diagnostic test to verify the serial interface communication between the external
controller and the AFE. First, the REG_READ_EN bit (register 0, bit 1) must be set to 1. Then, initiate a serial
interface cycle specifying the address of the register (A[7:0]) whose content must be read. The data bits are don’t
care. The device outputs the contents (bits 15-0) of the selected register on the SDOUT pin. SDOUT has a
typical 20-ns delay (tOUT_DV) from the SCLK falling edge. For lower-speed SCLKs, SDOUT can be latched on the
SCLK rising edge. For higher-speed SCLKs (for example, if the SCLK period is less than 60 ns), latching SDOUT
at the next SCLK falling edge is preferable. The read operation timing diagram is shown in Figure 102 (see the
Serial Interface Timing Characteristics table). In readout mode, the REG_READ_EN bit can be accessed with
SDIN, SCLK, and SEN. To enable serial register writes, set the REG_READ_EN bit back to 0.
The device SDOUT buffer is 3-stated and is only enabled when the REG_READ_EN bit (register 0, bit 1) is
enabled. SDOUT pins from multiple devices can be tied together without any pullup resistors. The
SN74AUP1T04 level shifter can be used to convert 1.8-V logic to 2.5-V or 3.3-V logic, if necessary.

10.2.0.3 Detailed Design Procedure
Medical ultrasound imaging is a widely-used diagnostic technique that enables visualization of internal organs,
their size, structure, and blood flow estimation. An ultrasound system uses a focal imaging technique that
involves time shifting, scaling, and intelligently summing the echo energy using an array of transducers to
achieve high imaging performance. The concept of focal imaging provides the ability to focus on a single point in
the scan region. By subsequently focusing at different points, an image is assembled.
See Figure 103 for a simplified schematic of a 64-channel ultrasound imaging system. When initiating an
imaging, a pulse is generated and transmitted from each of the 64 transducer elements. The pulse, now in the
form of mechanical energy, propagates through the body as sound waves, typically in the frequency range of 1
MHz to 15 MHz.
The sound waves weaken rapidly as they travel through the objects being imaged, falling off as the square of the
distance traveled. As the signal travels, portions of the wave front energy are reflected. Signals that are reflected
immediately after transmission are very strong because they are from reflections close to the surface; reflections
that occur long after the transmit pulse are very weak because they are reflecting from deep in the body. As a
result of the limitations on the amount of energy that can be put into the imaging object, the industry developed
extremely sensitive receive electronics. Receive echoes from focal points close to the surface require little, if any,
amplification. This region is referred to as the near field. However, receive echoes from focal points deep in the
body are extremely weak and must be amplified by a factor of 100 or more. This region is referred to as the far
field. In the high-gain (far field) mode, the limit of performance is the sum of all noise sources in the receive
chain.
In high-gain (far field) mode, system performance is defined by its overall noise level, which is limited by the
noise level of the transducer assembly and the receive low-noise amplifier (LNA). However in the low-gain (near
field) mode, system performance is defined by the maximum amplitude of the input signal that the system can
handle. The ratio between noise levels in high-gain mode and the signal amplitude level in low-gain mode is
defined as the dynamic range of the system.
The high integration and high dynamic range of the device make it ideally suited for ultrasound imaging
applications. The device includes an integrated LNA and VCAT (which use the gain that can be changed with
enough time to handle both near- and far-field systems), a low-pass antialiasing filter to limit the noise bandwidth,
an ADC with high SNR performance, and a CW mixer. Figure 104 illustrates an application circuit of the device.

Use the following steps to design medical ultrasound imaging systems:
1. Use the signal center frequency and signal bandwidth to select an appropriate ADC sampling frequency.
2. Use the time gain compensation range to select the range of the VCNTL signal.
3. Use the transducer noise level and maximum input signal amplitude to select the appropriate LNA gain. The
device input-referred noise level reduces with higher LNA gain. However, higher LNA gain leads to lower
input signal swing support.
4. See Figure 104 to select different passive components for different device pins.
5. See the LNA Input Impedance section to select the appropriate input termination configuration.
6. See the CW Clock Selection section to select the clock configuration for the ADC and CW clocks.

10.3 Do's and Don'ts
Driving the inputs (analog or digital) beyond the power-supply rails. For device reliability, an input must not
go more than 300 mV below the ground pins or 300 mV above the supply pins as suggested in the Absolute
Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding these limits, even on a transient basis, can cause faulty or erratic operation
and can impair device reliability.
Driving the device signal input with an excessively high level signal. The device offers consistent and fast
overload recovery with a 6-dB overloaded signal. For very large overload signals (> 6 dB of the linear input signal
range), TI recommends back-to-back Schottky clamping diodes at the input to limit the amplitude of the input
signal; see the LNA Overload Recovery section for more details.
Driving the VCNTL signal with an excessive noise source. Noise on the VCNTL signal gets directly
modulated with the input signal and causes higher output noise and reduction in SNR performance. Maintain a
noise level for the VCNTL signal as discussed in the Control Voltage Input section.
Using a clock source with excessive jitter, an excessively long input clock signal trace, or having other
signals coupled to the ADC or CW clock signal trace. These situations cause the sampling interval to vary,
causing an excessive output noise and a reduction in SNR performance. For a system with multiple devices, the
clock tree scheme must be used to apply an ADC or CW clock; see the CW Clock Selection section for clock
mismatch between devices, which can lead to latency mismatch and reduction in SNR performance.
LVDS routing length mismatch. The routing length of all LVDS lines routing to the FPGA must be matched to
avoid any timing related issue. For systems with multiple devices, the LVDS serialized data clock (DCLKP,
DCLKM) and the frame clock (FCLKP, FCLKM) of each individual device must be used to deserialize the
corresponding LDVS serialized data (DOUTP, DOUTM).
Failure to provide adequate heat removal. Use the appropriate thermal parameter listed in the Thermal
Information table and an ambient, board, or case temperature in order to calculate device junction temperature. A
suitable heat removal technique must be used to keep the device junction temperature below the maximum limit
of 105°C.
Incorrect register programming. After resetting the device, write register 1, bit 2 = 1 and register 1, bit 4 = 1. If
these bits are not set as specified, the device will not function properly. Furthermore, ADD_OFFSET (register 0,
bit 2) must be used carefully; see the VCA Register Map section.
10.4 Initialization Set Up
After bringing up all the supplies, use the following steps to initialize the device:
1. Apply a hardware reset pulse on the RESET pin with a minimum pulse duration of 100 ns. Note that after
powering up the device, a hardware reset is required.
2. After applying a hardware reset pulse, wait for a minimum time of 100 ns.
3. Set register 1, bits 2 and 4 to 1 using SPI signals.
4. Write any other register settings as required.

11 Power Supply Recommendations
The device requires a total of five supplies in order to operate properly. These supplies are: AVDD_5V,
AVDD_3P3, AVDD_1P8, DVDD_1P8, and DVDD_1P2. For detailed information regarding the operating voltage
minimum and maximum specifications of different supplies, see the Recommended Operating Conditions table.
11.1 Power Sequencing and Initialization
11.1.1 Power Sequencing
Figure 107 shows the suggested power-up sequencing and reset timing for the device. Note that the DVDD_1P2
supply must rise before the AVDD_1P8 supply. If the AVDD_1P8 supply rises before the DVDD_1P2 supply, the
AVDD_1P8 supply current is eight to 12 times larger than the normal current until the DVDD_1P2 supply reaches
a 1.2-V level.

12 Layout
12.1 Layout Guidelines
12.1.1 Power Supply, Grounding, and Bypassing
In a mixed-signal system design, the power-supply and grounding design plays a significant role. The device
distinguishes between two different grounds: AVSS (analog ground) and DVSS (digital ground). In most cases
laying out the printed circuit board (PCB) to use a single ground plane is adequate, but in high-frequency or highperformance systems, care must be taken so that this ground plane is properly partitioned between various
sections within the system to minimize interactions between analog and digital circuitry. Alternatively, the digital
supply set consisting of the DVDD_1P8, DVDD_1P2, and DVSS pins can be placed on separate power and
ground planes. For this configuration, tie the AVSS and DVSS grounds together at the power connector in a star
layout. In addition, optical or digital isolators (such as the ISO7240) can completely separate the analog portion
from the digital portion. Consequently, such isolators prevent digital noise from contaminating the analog portion.
Table 11 lists the related circuit blocks for each power supply.

See Figure 98 and Figure 99 for further details.
Reference all bypassing and power supplies for the device to their corresponding ground planes. Bypass all
supply pins with 0.1-μF ceramic chip capacitors (size 0603 or smaller). In order to minimize the lead and trace
inductance, the capacitors must 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) can also be used on the main
supply pins. These components can be placed on the PCB in close proximity (< 0.5 inch or 12.7 mm) to the
device itself.
The device has a number of reference supplies that must be bypassed, such as CM_BYP1, CM_BYP2 and
VHIGH1, VHIGH2. Bypass these pins with at least a 1-μF capacitor; higher value capacitors can be used for
better low-frequency noise suppression. For best results, choose low-inductance ceramic chip capacitors (size
0402, > 1 μF) and placed as close as possible to the device pins.
12.1.2 Board Layout
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 and drivers. For the device, care must be 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 inductances of the supply and
ground pins result in better noise suppression. For this reason, multiple pins are used to connect each supply
and ground sets. Low inductance properties must be maintained throughout the design of the PCB layout by use
of proper planes and layer thickness.
To avoid noise coupling through supply pins, TI recommends to keep sensitive input pins (such as INM, INP, and
ACT pins) away from the AVDD_3P3 and AVDD_5V planes. For example, do not route the traces or vias
connected to these pins across the AVDD_3P3 and AVDD_5V planes. That is, avoid the power planes under the
INM, INP, and ACT pins.

SBAS687B – FEBRUARY 2015 – REVISED AUGUST 2015
In order to maintain proper LVDS timing, all LVDS traces must follow a controlled impedance design. In addition,
all LVDS trace lengths must be equal and symmetrical; TI recommends keeping trace length variations less than
150 mil (0.150 inch or 3.81 mm).
In addition, appropriate delay matching must be considered for the CW clock path, especially in systems with a
high channel count. For example, if the clock delay is half of the 16X clock period, a phase error of 22.5°C can
exist. Thus, the timing delay difference among channels contributes to the beamformer accuracy.
Additional details on the NFBGA PCB layout techniques can be found in the Texas Instruments application
report, MicroStar BGA Packaging Reference Guide (SSYZ015), which can be downloaded from www.ti.com.

13 Register Maps
13.1 Serial Register Map
The device has two voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) dies and one analog-to-digital converter (ADC) die, as
shown in Figure 114. Figure 114 also describes the channel mapping of VCA dies to the input pins. All dies
share the same SPI control signals (SCLK, SDIN, and SEN). The address space of the programmable registers
for the ADC die is from register 1 to register 60. By default, the address space of the programmable registers for
the VCA dies are shared (that is, both VCA dies have an address space from register 192 to register 205).
Therefore, the ADC and VCA dies can be programmed independently. Because the VCA dies share the same
address space, these dies are programmed together. To program VCA die 1 and VCA die 2 independently, the
address space for these dies must be separated by enabling the ADD_OFFSET bit (register 0, bit 2). All
programmable bits and addresses are listed in this section.

A reset process is required at the device initialization stage.
NOTE
Initialization can be accomplished with a hardware reset by applying a positive pulse to
the RESET pin. After reset, all ADC and VCA registers are set to 0 (default). Note that
during register programming, all unlisted register bits must be set to 0.
The Global Register is comprised of register 0 and controls both the VCA and ADC die. The ADC Registers
include registers that control the ADC die. The VCA Registers include registers that control the VCA dies (that is,
VCA die 1 and VCA die 2).

The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2)
Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3)
MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4)
There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5)
Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
(6)
Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish
value exceeds the maximum column width.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
