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 termination. 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 serial port interface (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.
Power-down of individual channels is supported to increase
battery life for portable applications. Standby mode allows quick
power-up for power cycling. In CW Doppler operation, the
VGA, AAF, and ADC are powered down. The ADC contains
features 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 SPI.
