Octal Ultrasound AFE With JESD204B

The AD9675 is designed for low cost, low power, small size, and ease of use for medical ultrasound. It contains eight channels of a variable gain amplifier (VGA) with a low noise preamplifier (LNA), a continuous wave (CW) harmonic rejection I/Q demodulator with programmable phase rotation, an antialiasing filter (AAF), an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and a digital high-pass filter and RF decimation by 2 for data processing and bandwidth reduction.

Each channel features a maximum gain of up to 52 dB, a fully differential signal path, and an active input preamplifier termina-tion. The channel is optimized for high 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. Assuming a 15 MHz noise bandwidth (NBW) and a 21.6 dB LNA gain, the LNA input SNR is 94 dB. In CW Doppler mode, each LNA output drives an I/Q demodulator that has independently programmable phase rotation with 16 phase settings.
