5 Description (continued)
The AFE5816 is an integrated analog front-end (AFE) optimized for medical ultrasound application. The
AFE5816 is a multichip module (MCM) device with two dies: VCA and ADC_CONV. Each die has total of 16
channels.
Each channel in the VCA die can be configured in two modes: time gain compensation (TGC) mode and
continuous wave (CW) mode. In TGC mode, each channel includes an input attenuator (ATTEN), a low-noise
amplifier (LNA) with variable-gain, and a third-order, low-pass filter (LPF). The attenuator supports an attenuation
range of 8 dB to 0 dB, and the LNA supports gain ranges from 14 dB to 45 dB. The LPF cutoff frequency can be
configured at 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz, or 25 MHz to support ultrasound applications with different frequencies.
In CW mode, each channel includes an LNA with a fixed gain of 18 dB, and a low-power passive mixer with 16
selectable phase delays. Different phase delays can be applied to each analog input signal to perform an on-chip
beamforming operation. A harmonic filter in the CW mixer suppresses the third and fifth harmonic to enhance the
sensitivity of the CW Doppler measurement. CW mode supports three clock modes: 16X, 8X, and 4X.

AFE5816
SBAS688E – APRIL 2015 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2017
www.ti.com
Each channel of the ADC_CONV die has a high-performance analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a
programmable resolution of 14 bits or 12 bits. The ADC achieves 75-dBFS signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in 14-bit
mode, and 72-dBFS SNR in 12-bit mode. This ADC provides excellent SNR at low-channel gain. The devices
operate at maximum speeds of 65 MSPS and 80 MSPS, providing 14-bit and 12-bit output, respectively. The
ADC is designed to scale power with sampling rate. The output interface of the ADC is a low-voltage differential
signaling (LVDS) interface that can easily interface with low-cost field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).
The AFE5816 also allows various power and noise combinations to be selected for optimizing system
performance. Therefore, these devices are suitable ultrasound AFE solutions for systems with strict battery-life
requirements. The AFE5816 is available in a 15-mm × 15-mm NFBGA-289 package (ZAV package, S-PBGAN289) and is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C. The device is also pin-to-pin compatible with the
AFE5818 family.

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.
tS is the ADC clock period in nanoseconds (ns).

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The AFE5816 is a highly-integrated, analog front-end (AFE) solution specifically designed for ultrasound systems
where high performance and higher integration are required. The device integrates a complete time-gain
compensation (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 an attenuator, low-noise amplifier (LNA), 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 programmable
termination, individual channel control, fast power-up and power-down response, fast and consistent overload
recovery, and integrated digital processing). Therefore, this device brings premium image quality to ultraportable, 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 25 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.

9.3.1 Attenuator
The first stage of the signal chain is an attenuator followed by a low-noise amplifier (LNA). Fundamentally, an
attenuator functions as a time-varying passive termination. In ultrasound imaging systems, near-field reflected
signals are of very high amplitude. This high-amplitude signal can be attenuated using an attenuator in order to
bring the signal amplitude down to within the LNA input amplitude range. The attenuator supports time-gain
compensation [that is, the attenuation level is from –8 dB to 0 dB with time in steps of 0.125 dB (64 steps)]. The
attenuation level is controlled by the TGC control engine in the device.
9.3.1.1 Implementation
The attenuator is implemented as a resistor divider network that uses the principle of voltage division between a
source resistance (RS) and attenuator resistance (RATTEN); see Figure 56. At the signal frequency, attenuation
provided by this resistor network is given by Equation 1:

In Equation 1, the value of the RATTEN resistor is controlled by the TGC control engine. Further details of the TGC
control engine are provided in the Digital TGC (DTGC) section. The correct RATTEN network must be selected for
a given RS using the INP_RES_SEL register because attenuation is a function of both source resistance (RS)
and attenuator resistance (RATTEN). The range of input resistance RS supported is listed in Table 122.
NOTE
The attenuator block remains active only in TGC mode. The attenuator block is disabled in
CW mode.
9.3.1.2 Maximum Signal Amplitude Support
In TGC mode, the maximum input signal amplitude of the low-noise amplifier is approximately 400 mVPP. In
Figure 56, the source is modeled as a voltage source at the INP_SOURCE node in series with its (source)
impedance RS. The attenuation is achieved by the voltage division between the series combination of the source
impedance RS and the attenuator resistance a RATTEN. Therefore, the maximum signal amplitude supported at
the INP_SOURCE node is given by 400 mVPP divided by the attenuation. For a given value of source resistance
RS, the attenuator provides the maximum attenuation of 8 dB. Thus, the maximum signal supported at the
INP_SOURCE node is 1 VPP.
9.3.1.3 Attenuator High-Pass Filter (ATTEN HPF)
A high-pass filter can be realized through the attenuator. The frequency response of the high-pass filter is
governed by the CINM (internal to the device), CINM_EXT (optional and external to the device), and CINP (external
ac-coupling capacitor) capacitors, and the source resistance RS and attenuator resistance RATTEN.
For the input circuit shown in Figure 56, the LNA input is given by Equation 2:

Equation 2 describes a high-pass response with a corner frequency given by Equation 3:
[1 / (RS + RATTEN)] × [(CINP + CINM_T) / ( CINP × CINM_T)]

Therefore, when RATTEN changes with the TGC, the HPF cutoff frequency also changes.

10 nF and CINP = CINM_T = 1 µF, respectively. For low-frequency application systems (for example, sonar systems
that require a very-low, high-pass filter corner), larger value capacitors of CINP and CINM_EXT can be used in order
to reduce the HPF corner frequency.

9.3.2 Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA)
In many high-gain systems, a LNA is critical to achieve overall performance. The device uses a proprietary
architecture and a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) input transistor to achieve
exceptional low-noise performance when operating on a low-quiescent current. The LNA takes a single-ended
input signal and converts it to a differential output signal.
9.3.2.1 Input Signal Support in TGC Mode
In TGC mode, the LNA supports time-gain compensation [that is, the LNA gain can be changed from 14 dB to
45 dB in steps of 0.125 dB (256 steps total) with time]. Similar to the attenuator, the LNA gain is also controlled
by the TGC control engine.
In TGC mode, the maximum differential swing supported at the LNA output is 2 VPP. Therefore, the maximum
swing supported at the LNA input is given by 2 VPP divided by the LNA gain. For an LNA gain of 14 dB, the
maximum swing supported at the LNA input is 400 mVPP.

9.3.2.2 Input Signal Support in CW Mode
In CW mode, the LNA is automatically configured to a 18-dB, fixed-gain mode. In CW mode, the LNA supports a
maximum linear input range of 300 mVPP.
9.3.2.3 Input Circuit
In both CW and TGC modes, the LNA input pin (INPx) is internally biased at approximately 1 V. AC-couple the
input signal to the INPx pin with an adequately-sized capacitor, CINP; a 10-nF capacitor is recommended. For
low-frequency applications, a 1-µF capacitor is recommended for both CINP and CINM_EXT. The electrical interface
of the input attenuator and the LNA to the external world is shown in Figure 60.

9.3.2.4 LNA High-Pass Filter (LNA HPF)
The LPF circuit in Figure 60 is a low-pass transfer function between the positive and negative inputs of the LNA.
The LPF results in a high-pass transfer function between the LNA input and output and can be used to reject
unwanted low-frequency leakage signal from the transducer. The high-pass filter in the LNA is active for both CW
and TGC mode. The effective corner frequency of the HPF is determined by the capacitor connected at the INMx
pin of the device. Internal to the device, a 10-nF capacitor is connected at the INMx node. A large capacitor
(such as 1 μF) can be connected externally at the INMx pin for setting the low corner frequency (< 2 kHz) of the
LNA dc offset correction circuit. By default, a capacitor is not required to be connected at the INMx pin. To
disable this HPF, set the LNA_HPF_DIS register bit to 1. This bit powers down the unity feedback buffer
connected between positive and negative input of the LNA shown in Figure 60. For a given INMx capacitor, the
corner frequency of the HPF can be programmed using the LNA_HPF_PROG bit. Table 3 lists the HPF corner
frequency as a function of the CINM_EXT capacitor connected at the INMx pin across various LNA_HPF_PROG bit
settings.

9.3.2.4.1 Disconnecting the LNA HPF During Overload
In ultrasound systems, the device detects a large-amplitude, overloaded signal during transmit phase. The AFE
used for such systems is expected to quickly switch from a high overloaded state to a normal state.
To implement a very low LNA high-pass filter corner, the device uses a large capacitor at the INMx node. The
INMx node voltage changes as a result of the large overload signal, which ultimately leads to a low-frequency
settling at the device output. To avoid any significant disturbance on the INMx node voltage change resulting
from an overloaded input signal, the LNA HPF circuit can be disconnected from the INPx pin by using a series
switch; see Figure 60. This switch is controlled by the TR_ENpins (TR_EN, TR_EN, TR_EN, and
TR_EN control channels 1 to 4, 5 to 8, 9 to 13, and 14 to 16, respectively). Figure 61 shows an example of
TR_EN control signals. Figure 62, Figure 63, Figure 64, and Figure 65 illustrate a positive overload input
signal, negative overload input signal, and the corresponding device output for both without and with TR_EN
pin functionality, respectively. The TR_EN pin functionality refers to using a low-going pulse on TR_EN
during an overload input signal to disconnect the LNA HPF. This functionality is useful when there is not a lowfrequency signal immediately after an overload signal.

9.3.2.5 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 0.95 nV/√Hz at 45-dB gain, and a low-current
noise of 1.2 pA/√Hz in low-noise mode.
Voltage noise is the dominant source of noise; however, the LNA current noise flowing through the source
impedance (RS) generates additional voltage noise. The total LNA noise can be computed with Equation 4.

The device achieves a low noise figure (NF) over a wide range of source resistances; see Figure 23.
9.3.3 High-Pass Filter (HPF)
Two high-pass filters (HPFs) exist in the signal chain. The first high-pass filter is the HPF that is part of the input
attenuator and the other filter is the HPF in the low-noise amplifier (LNA). In the preceding sections (see the LNA
High-Pass Filter (LNA HPF) and Attenuator High-Pass Filter (ATTEN HPF) sections) the HPF corner expression
of the attenuator and LNA is explained, assuming only a single HPF is active at a time. If both HPFs are enabled
at the same time, the overall HPF corner is approximately given by the maximum of the two corner frequencies.
For instance, if the HPF corner of the attenuator is (fATTEN) Hz and the HPF corner of the LNA is (fLNA) Hz, the
overall HPF corner is given by the maximum of (fATTEN, fLNA) Hz. In CW mode, the attenuator HPF is disabled
and the LNA HPF remains active so the overall HPF corner is given by fLNA.
9.3.4 Low-Pass Filter (LPF)
In TGC mode, the LNA output is fed to a low-pass filter (LPF). The LPF is designed as a differential, active, thirdorder filter with Butterworth characteristics and a typical 18 dB per octave roll-off. Programmable through the
serial interface, the –3-dB corner frequency can be set to different combinations across power modes, as shown
in Table 4. The filter bandwidth is set for all channels simultaneously.
Note that in CW mode, the LPF is automatically disabled.

9.3.5 Digital TGC (DTGC)
This section discusses the operation of the digital TGC control engine. The DTGC is relevant only in TGC mode;
see the DTGC Register Map for register settings and descriptions.
9.3.5.1 DTGC Overview
As described previously, the device consists of a programmable attenuator, a variable-gain LNA, and a TGC
control engine that controls the gain of the device, as shown in Figure 66. In combination, these blocks can be
used to implement a digital time gain control (DTGC) scheme. The attenuator block attenuation can be changed
from 8 dB to 0 dB in 0.125-dB steps (64 steps) and the LNA gain can be changed from 14 dB to 45 dB in
0.125-dB steps (256 steps). Thus, the total channel gain can be varied from 6 dB to 45 dB in 0.125-dB steps
(320 steps). These gain settings are controlled as a function of time based on the different profile settings of the
TGC control engine. The TGC control engine operates on the same clock as the ADC_CLK.

9.3.5.2 DTGC Programming
Various functions of the digital TGC operation can be programmed using the registers listed in the DTGC
Register Map. To program register settings in the DTGC register map, set the DTGC_WR_EN bit to 1.
9.3.5.2.1 DTGC Profile
The TGC engine supports four different modes (programmable fixed-gain, up, down ramp, external non-uniform,
and internal non-uniform mode) to change the device gain with time. The gain versus time curve for each mode
is set using a set of combined parameters referred to as a profile. Four such profiles can be programmed in
advance, which enables a given mode to switch between one of four profiles based on either a pin control or
based on a single register control. Table 5 shows the profile mapping with register bits.

9.3.5.2.1.1 Profile Selection
When programmed, there are two ways that any one of the four profiles can be selected and switched to
program the settings in the TGC mode: either with the device pin or by register settings.
1. Device pin. To select the profile using pin control, set the PROFILE_EXT_DIS bit to 0. Then, the different
combinations of logic level at the TGC_PROF and TGC_PROF pins listed in Table 6 dictate which
profile is selected.
2. Register settings. To select the profile with register settings, set the PROFILE_EXT_DIS bit to 1. Then, the
different combinations of the PROFILE_REG_SEL bits listed in Table 6 dictate which profile must be used to
program the corresponding TGC mode.

9.3.5.3 DTGC Modes
The device supports four schemes to change the device gain. These schemes are referred to as the four DTGC
modes. The device can be programmed in any of these modes by using the MODE_SEL register bit, as shown in
Table 7.

9.3.5.3.1 Programmable Fixed-Gain Mode
In this mode, the device gain is set directly by writing a gain code in the MANUAL_GAIN_DTGC register. See
Figure 2 for a description of device gain versus gain code across power modes. Note that the allowed value of
the gain code is from 0 to 319. The gain codes from 0 to 63 control the attenuator and the codes from 64 to 319
control the LNA. If the gain code is programmed outside the 0 to 319 range, then the gain code value
automatically becomes 0.
For Low-Noise or Medium-Power mode: Gain = 6 + Gain code × 0.125
For Low-Power mode: Gain = 12 + Gain code × 0.125

Figure 67. Up, Down Ramp Mode
The different stages of the up, down ramp mode are:
1. Start: At device reset or a DTGC mode change (that is, when changing the DTGC mode to any other mode
and returning to up, down ramp mode), the device gain is equal to the start gain.
2. Up gain ramp. The up gain ramp stage starts when the TGC_SLOPE pin voltage level goes high. During the
up gain ramp stage, the device gain increases by a positive step at the rate of the positive step frequency.
3. Stop gain. Any device gain in the up gain ramp stage keeps increasing until a stop gain stage is reached.
Any pules given at the TGC_SLOPE or TGC_UP_DN pins during the up gain ramp stage are ignored.
4. Down gain ramp. The down gain ramp stage starts when the TGC_UP_DN pin voltage level goes high.
During the down gain ramp stage, the device gain decreases by a negative step at the rate of the negative
step frequency. Any device gain in the down gain ramp stage keeps decreasing until a gain reaches the
value specified by start gain. Thereafter, the TGC curve proceeds to the start stage.
5. Profile. Different parameters (such as start gain, positive step, positive step frequency, and so forth) of
different gain stages are programmed with profile registers. A single profile consists of five 16-bit registers
and one 8-bit register that can be programmed with the serial interface registers. The functions of these
registers in up, down ramp mode are listed in Table 8. Note that changing the profile number updates the
parameters only during the start gain stage.
6. Timing requirement. See the section for timing requirements on the TGC_SLOPE and TGC_UP_DN pins
with respect to the ADC clock.

The different stages of the external non-uniform mode are:
1. Start: At device reset or a DTGC mode change (that is, when changing the DTGC mode to any other mode
and returning to external non-uniform mode), the device gain is equal to the start gain.
2. Increase or decrease gain. When a positive edge transition is received on the device TGC_SLOPE pin, the
device gain increases or decreases by either a positive step or negative step based on the TGC_UP_DN pin
voltage level. If the TGC_UP_DN pin is set to a level 0, device gain increases and if the TGC_UP_DN pin is
set to 1, device gain decreases. The signal frequency at the TGC_SLOPE pin must be less than or equal to
the ADC clock.
3. Profile. Different parameters (such as start gain, positive step, negative step, and so forth) of different gain
stages are programmed with profile registers. A single profile consists of five 16-bit registers and one 8-bit
register that can be programmed with the serial programming interface (SPI). The functions of these registers
in external non-uniform mode are listed in Table 9. Note that changing the profile number updates the
parameters at any stage of the gain curve.

The device supports two write operation modes: normal write mode and burst write mode. The following steps
describe the memory write operation in normal write mode:
1. Select the memory bank whose contents must be programmed using the MEM_BANK_SEL register bit.
Table 10 shows the mapping of the MEM_BANK_SEL and memory bank.

2. After selecting the memory bank, any memory bank word can be programmed by writing the MEM_WORD_0
to MEM_WORD_159 registers. For example, to program word 1 to word 160 of memory bank 0, first write
MEM_BANK_SEL = 00 and write the memory content at the MEM_WORD_0 to MEM_WORD_159 registers.
The following steps describe the memory write operation in burst write mode:
1. Select the memory bank whose contents must be programmed using the MEM_BANK_SEL register bit.
Table 10 shows the mapping of the MEM_BANK_SEL and memory bank.
2. After selecting the memory bank, any memory bank word can be programmed in burst by giving the register
address only one time. After giving the register address, provide continuous data on the SDIN pin and keep
the SEN signal low. The device automatically internally increments the register address and writes the data
to the next memory word.

The different stages of the internal non-uniform mode are:
1. Start: At device reset or a DTGC mode change (that is, when changing the DTGC mode to any other mode
and returning to internal non-uniform mode), the device gain is equal to the start gain.
2. Wait to start: When the TGC_SLOPE pin voltage level goes high, the device gain remains at the start gain
stage for the number of ADC clock cycles defined in the START_GAIN_TIME_x register (x is the profile
number).

a. After waiting for START_GAIN_TIME_x number of ADC clock cycles, the TGC engine reads a 16-bit
memory word (word[15:0]) at the START_INDEX_x address and performs the following operation:
i. If memory word[7] = 0, the device gain increases by a positive step gain after waiting for the
word[6:0] × 2SLOPE_FACnumber of ADC clock cycles. If memory word[7] = 1, the device gain
decreases by a negative step gain after waiting for the word[6:0] × 2 SLOPE_FACnumber of ADC
clock cycles.
ii. If memory word[15] = 0, the device gain increases by a positive step gain after waiting for the
word[14:8] × 2SLOPE_FACnumber of ADC clock cycles. If memory word[15] = 1, the device gain
decreases by a negative step gain after waiting for the word[14:8] × 2SLOPE_FACnumber of ADC
clock cycles.
b. The TGC engine increases the memory address by 1. If the new address is less than STOP_INDEX_x,
the TGC engine reads a 16-bit memory word at the new address and repeats steps i and ii.
4. Wait to stop: The TGC engine increases the memory address by 1. If the new memory address is equal to
STOP_INDEX_x, then the device waits for the STOP_GAIN_TIME_x number of ADC clock cycles.
5. Ramp down: After waiting for the STOP_GAIN_TIME_x number of ADC clock cycles, the device gain starts
reducing by a negative step gain on each ADC clock until the gain reaches the start gain stage.
6. Profile: Different parameters (such as start gain, positive step, positive step frequency, and so forth) of
different gain stages are programmed with profile registers. A single profile consists of five 16-bit registers
and one 8-bit register that can be programmed with the serial programming interface (SPI). The functions of
these registers in internal non-uniform mode are listed in Table 11. Note that changing the profile number
updates the parameters only during the start gain stage.
7. Timing requirement. See the Timing Specifications section for timing requirements on the TGC_SLOPE pin
with respect to the ADC clock.

DESCRIPTION
These bits set the gain code for the
start gain stage. For an N value (in
decimal), these bits set the start gain
stage to (6 + N × 0.25) dB.
Best image quality is achieved with a value of N = 0 (positive step of 0.125 dB). Using a higher positive step can result in glitches at the
gain transitions, causing a reduction in image quality.
9.3.5.4 Timing Specifications
For all DTGC modes, a signal applied on the TGC_SLOPE and TGC_UP_DN pins must meet the timing
constraints with respect to the ADC clock signal, as shown in Figure 73.
NOTE
Failure to meet the timing constraints in the up, down ramp mode results in a locked state.
To come out of a locked start state, change MODE_SEL to another mode and return to
up, down ramp mode or reset the device.

A transition on TGC_SLOPE triggers the associated gain change event with a latency. This latency varies
depending on the DTGC modes. Table 12 lists the latency for each mode in terms of number of ADC_CLK
cycles. To determine the total latency from a transition on TGC_SLOPE to a transition in the output code, the
latency of the ADC must be added to the number in Table 12.

9.3.6 Continuous-Wave (CW) Beamformer
The continuous-wave Doppler (CWD) 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 these 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).
The output signal in the CW path is a current output unlike the TGC path that has a voltage output. The downconverted and phase-shifted currents of all the channels are summed and given to a single node; see Figure 74.
Connect this node to the virtual ground of an external differential amplifier for correct operation; see Figure 75.
NOTE
The local oscillator inputs of the passive mixer are cos (ωt) for the I channel and sin (ωt)
(where ω is local oscillator frequency) for the Q channel, respectively. Depending on the
application-specific CWD 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 excellent, which is
desired in ultrasound systems.
NOTE
The TGC path in the device is automatically disabled when the CW path is enabled. The
device does not support both TGC and CW modes simultaneously. However though not
used, the ADC remains powered up by default in the CW mode. The ADC can be powered
down using register bit GLOBAL_PDN.

CW I- or Q- Channel Structure
NOTE: The 3-Ω to 6-Ω resistors at CW_OUTP and CW_OUTM result from the internal device routing and can create
a slight attenuation in the signal.
Figure 75. A Circuit Representation of a In-Phase or Quadrature-Phase Channel
The CW mixing operation attempts to down-convert the signal band to approximately dc such that the Doppler
frequency is translated to a low-frequency signal. This process is done by a complex mixing of the signal with a
clock that is at the same frequency as the center frequency of the signal. The complex mixing of the signal
requires the I- and Q- version of the clock. Furthermore, different channels can have different phase delays in the
path of their analog inputs. Thus, the programmability of the phase of the I- and Q- clock is essential to have.
The CW mixer uses two clocks; a high speed clock (16X, 8X, or 4X of the mixing clock) that is used to generate
multiple phases of a 1X clock, which is at the frequency of the mixing clock.
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 76, Table 13, and the calculations of Equation 5
describe the principles of the mixer operation. LO(t) is square-wave based and includes odd harmonic
components.

All the symbol definitions for Equation 5 are given in Table 13.
The first term in Equation 5 represents the ideal down-connected Doppler frequency component desired from the
CW mixer. Though not shown in Equation 5, the third- and fifth-order harmonics from LO(t) can either mix with
the third- and fifth-order harmonic of the Vi(t) signal or the noise around the third- and fifth-order harmonics of
Vi(t). This higher-order mixing can result in additional undesired down-converted components that lead to
degraded mixer performance. 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. Thus, a better noise figure is achieved. The
conversion loss of the mixer is approximately –4 dB, (20log10 2 / π).
The mixed current output of the 16 channels must be summed externally; see Figure 75. The external differential
amplifier converts the current signal to differential voltage and can also provide a filtering action for the higher
frequency components in Equation 5. The common-mode voltage at the CW_OUT nodes is 0.9 V. Setting the
output common-mode of the external amplifier to 0.9 V is recommended to avoid common-mode loading. The
amplifier must be able to support the maximum output current of the device, which is 80 mAPP. The amplifier
noise and matching have a direct impact on the I/Q channel performance and therefore must be selected
cautiously. Amplifiers with input-referred voltage noise lower than 2 nV/√Hz can be selected. The OPA1632 and
THS4130 for are recommended as external amplifiers, both of which satisfy the above criteria.
The CW I/Q channels are well-matched internally to suppress image frequency components in the Doppler
spectrum. Use low-tolerance (0.1%) components and precise operational amplifiers to achieve good matching in
the external circuits as well. The circuit illustrated in Figure 75 achieves a first-order filter with a corner frequency
of fC, as given by Equation 6:
1

2 u S u Rext u C ext
(6)
The CW path gain (see Figure 75 ) for an in-band signal (frequency less than fC) at one of the channels is given
by the combination of LNA gain, mixer loss, and gain provided by the external amplifier. The LNA gain is 18 dB
and the mixer attenuation is 4 dB. The gain of the external amplifier is determined by the ratio of the external
resistor (Rext) and the internal resistor (500 Ω). The CW gain is given by Equation 7.

The 3-Ω to 5-Ω resistors shown in Figure 75 create a small loss. 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 third- and fifth-order harmonic suppression feature is
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 the 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 the 16 × ƒcw
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 specification is critical only for the 16X clock.
The 1X clock is for synchronization only and does not require low phase noise.
The top-level clock distribution diagram is shown in Figure 77. 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. Synchronizing the
1 × ƒcw and 16 × ƒcw clocks is recommended; see Figure 78.

The cross-point switch distributes the clocks with an appropriate phase delay to each mixer. The mixer phase
delay is used to compensate for the delay in the input signal. For instance, if a received signal Vi(t) is delayed
with a time of 1 / (16 × fo) (where fo is the input signal frequency in Hz), apply a delayed LO(t) to the mixer in
order to compensate for the 1 / (16 × fo) delay. Thus, a 22.5⁰ delayed clock (that is, 2π / 16) is selected for this
channel. The mathematical calculation is expressed in Equation 8. Therefore, after the I/Q mixers, the 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.

Good phase accuracy and matching are also maintained in these modes. The quadrature clock generator is used
to create in-phase and quadrature clocks with exactly a 90° phase difference. The 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. Although the phases of the 1X clock that can be directly ensured
in the 8 × ƒcw and 4 × ƒcw modes are fewer than in the 16 × ƒcw mode, the intermediate phases can be generated
by appropriate weighting and combination of I- and Q- signals. For example, if a delay of 1 / (16 × fo) or 22.5° is
targeted corresponding to LO(t), the weighting coefficients must follow Equation 9 (assuming Iin and Qin are sin

9.3.6.4 CW Clock Selection
For the CW clocks, 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 1.5 V is applied to CW clock inputs (that is,
CW_CLK_NX and CW_CLK1X). Because this 1.5-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 either to ground or leave CLKM_1X floating. Common clock
configurations are shown in Figure 82. Appropriate termination is recommended to achieve good signal integrity.
NOTE
The configurations shown in Figure 82 can also be used as a reference for the ADC clock
input.

SBAS688E – APRIL 2015 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2017
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 mixer
clock inputs must be better than the phase noise of the CW path.
In the 16, 8, and 4 × ƒcw operation modes, a low-phase noise clock is required for the 16, 8, and 4 × ƒcw clocks
(that is, the CW_CLK_NX ) in order to maintain good CW phase noise performance. The 1 × ƒcw clock is only
used to synchronize 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 pins 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.
Internal to the device, there is a division of the Nx clock (for example, N = 16, 8, or 4) to generate LO(t). A clock
division results in improvement of the 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 1-kHz off the carrier, the 16 × fcw clock phase noise must be
greater 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.
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 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 (N is the number of AFEs in a system). See the System Clock Configuration for Multiple Devices section for
further details of 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 and 1 × ƒcw
clocks, audio ADC clocks, RF ADC clocks, pulse repetition frequency signals, frame clocks, and so on). By using
the same clock source, interference resulting from clock asynchronization can be minimized.
9.3.6.5 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. 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 required in ultrasound systems. Noise
under this range is critical because the CW Doppler signal ranges from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Consequently, lownoise 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 the CW signal frequency is from 20 Hz to 20 KHz, higher samplingrate 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.

9.3.7 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, a full description of
all inputs and outputs of the ADC with different configurations are provided along with suitable examples.
NOTE
The ADC is part of the TGC signal chain. An ADC is not used in CW mode and can be
powered down in this mode using the appropriate register controls.
9.3.7.1 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 (as shown in Figure 83) that are 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 single-ended clock to ADC_CLKP
and connect the ADC_CLKM pin to ground (in other words, short ADC_CLKM directly to AVSS, as shown in
Figure 84). In this case, the auto-detect feature shuts down the internal clock buffer and the device automatically
goes into a single-ended clock mode. Connect the single-ended clock source directly (without decoupling) to the
ADC_CLKP pin. Low-jitter, square signals (LVCMOS levels, 1.8-V amplitude) are recommended to drive the ADC
in single-ended clock mode (refer to technical brief SLYT075 for further details).

For single-ended sinusoidal clocks, or for differential clocks (such as differential sine wave, LVPECL, LVDS, and

ac-couple the clock input is as shown in Figure 85.
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,
provided that center tap of the transformer is either floating or ac-grounded.

9.3.7.2 System Clock Configuration for Multiple Devices
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. For all channels, the clock is matched from the source
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 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 87.

9.3.8.1 LVDS Buffer
The equivalent circuit of each LVDS output buffer is shown in Figure 88. The buffer is designed for a normal
output impedance of 100 Ω (ROUT). Terminate the differential outputs 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
cannot be disabled nor can its value be changed.

In 1X data rate mode, each LVDS output carries data from a single ADC. Figure 89 and Figure 90 show the

9.3.8.2.2 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 correspond to channel 1, data on DOUT2 correspond 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.

9.3.9.1.1 Manual Offset Correction
If the channel offset is known, the appropriate value can be written in the OFFSET_CHx register for channel x.
The offset value programmed in the OFFSET_CHx register 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). The offset
values are to be written in twos complement format.

9.3.9.1.2 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 0.
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 by the first sample and number of samples to be used. Figure 94 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 15.
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.

9.3.9.2 Digital Average
The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the signal chain can be improved by providing the same input signal to two
channels and averaging their output digitally. To enable averaging, set the AVG_EN register bit (register 2, bit
11). The way that data are transmitted on the digital output lines in this mode is described in Table 16.

improvement after averaging in 12b resolution.

of the 4-bit word), then channel 5 is increased by a 0.6-dB gain. GAIN_CHx = 31 produces the same effect as
GAIN_CHx = 30, which sets the gain of channel x to 6 dB.
9.3.9.4 Digital HPF
To enable the digital high-pass filter (HPF) of channels 1 to 4, 5 to 8, 9 to 12, and 13 to 16, set the
DIG_HPF_EN_CH1-4,
DIG_HPF_EN_CH5-8,
DIG_HPF_EN_CH9-12,
and
DIG_HPF_EN_CH13-16,
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 10. 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 17 describes the cutoff
frequency versus K.

The HPF output is mapped to the 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_EN_CH1-8 and HPF_ROUND_EN_CH9-16 bits to 1.
9.3.9.5 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 95.
Parameter values are listed in the Output Interface Timing Requirements table.

ADC data may be corrupted for four to six clocks immediately after applying TX_TRIG. The phase reset from
TX_TRIG can be disabled using MASK_TX_TRIG.
9.3.10 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 either
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 96 and Figure 97.

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 bit to 1. Similarly, the ADC can be programmed in this mode by setting the PDN_FAST pin
high. In this mode, many blocks in the signal path are powered down. However, the internal reference circuits,
LVDS frame, and data clock buffers remain active. 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 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 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 2 μs. This fast wake-up response is desired for
portable ultrasound applications where power savings is critical. The pulse repetition frequency (PRF) 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: TGC Mode table to determine device power dissipation in partial
power-down mode.
The AFE uses PLLs that generate the high speed clock for the interfaces. Switching activity on the PDN_FAST
pin can possibly result in disturbance to the PLL operation because of board-level coupling mechanisms. Such a
disturbance can result in a loss of synchronization at the FPGA and may require re-synchronization on
resumption of normal operation.
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. A 0.01-μF capacitor at INP without
a capacitor at INM provides a wake-up time of approximately 1 ms.
9.4.4 TGC Configuration
By default, the VCA is configured in TGC mode after reset. Depending upon the system requirements, the device
can be programmed in a suitable power mode using the MEDIUM_POW (register 206, bit 14) and LOW_POW
(register 200, bit 12) register bits.
9.4.5 Digital TGC Test Modes
The available test mode bits in the TGC engine are: ENABLE_INT_START, NEXT_CYCLE_WAIT_TIME,
MANUAL_START, FLIP_ATTEN, and DIS_ATTEN.

9.4.5.1 ENABLE_INT_START and NEXT_CYCLE_WAIT_TIME
In internal non-uniform digital TGC mode, the device gain starts changing after the TGC_SLOPE pin level goes
high. Instead of applying a signal on the TGC_SLOPE pin, the device generates a signal to start the device gain.
To generate a signal internally, set the ENABLE_INT_START bit (register 181, bit 14) to 1. When a complete
cycle of the gain curve completes and the device gain returns to the start gain stage, the next start pulse is
generated after the NEXT_CYCLE_WAIT_TIME (register 183, bits 15-0) number of ADC clock cycles, as shown
in Figure 99.

9.4.5.2 MANUAL_START
In up, down ramp mode and internal non-uniform mode, a single TGC start pulse provided on the TGC_SLOPE
pin can be generated by the device when the MANUAL_START bit is enabled. In up, down ramp mode, the
MANUAL_START bit also generates a pulse that performs the same functionality that applying a pulse on the
TGC_UP_DOWN pin does (that is, reduces the signal gain from stop gain to start gain).
9.4.5.3 FLIP_ATTEN
By default, the attenuation of an attenuator block is varied and followed by an LNA gain variation in all TGC
modes. When the FLIP_ATTEN bit (register 182, bit 6) is enabled, the LNA gain is varied first and then followed
by the attenuation of an attenuator block.
9.4.5.4 DIS_ATTEN
When the DIS_ATTEN bit is set to 1, the attenuation block is disabled.
9.4.5.5 Fixed Attenuation Mode
The attenuator block can be programmed in fixed attenuation mode (that is, the attenuation does not change with
time by enabling the FIX_ATTEN_x (x is the profile number) bit in the DTGC Register Map). When the
FIX_ATTEN_x bit is set to 1, the attenuation value is set using the ATTENUATION_x register bits. A value of N
written in the ATTENUATION_x register sets the attenuation level at –8 + N × 0.125 dB.

9.4.6 CW Configuration
To configure the device in CW mode, set the CW_TGC_SEL register bit (register 192, bit 0) to 1. To save power,
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 powerdown unused channels and save power; see Table 18 and Table 19. Enabling CW mode automatically
configures the LNA from TGC mode to CW mode and disables the LPF stage.
9.4.7 TGC + CW Mode
This device does not support TGC and CW mode simultaneously. Only one mode can remain active at a time.
9.5 Programming
9.5.1 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Operation
This section discusses the read and write operations of the SPI interface.
9.5.1.1 Serial Register Write Description
Several different 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.
The SCLK, SDIN, and RESET pins have a 16-kΩ pulldown resistor to ground. SEN has a 16-kΩ pullup resistor to
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). Data are divided into two main portions: the register
address (8 bits) and data (16 bits). Figure 100 shows the timing diagram for serial interface write operation.

9.5.1.2 Register Readout
The device includes an option where the contents of the internal registers can be read back. This readback can
be useful as a diagnostic test to verify the serial interface communication between the external controller and
AFE. First, the REG_READ_EN bit 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
(D[15:0]) of the selected register on the SDOUT pin. For lower-speed SCLKs, SDOUT can be latched on the

The device SDOUT buffer is 3-stated and is only enabled when the REG_READ_EN bit is enabled. SDOUT pins
from multiple devices can therefore 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.

10.2.2 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 102 for a simplified schematic of a 64-channel ultrasound imaging system. When initiating an
ultrasound image, 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 the AFE5816 ideally-suited for ultrasound
imaging applications. The device includes an integrated attenuator, an LNA (with variable 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 103 illustrates an application
circuit of the device.

The following steps detail how 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 LNA gain.
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 103 to select different passive components for different device pins.
5. 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.
Not meeting timing requirements on the TGC_SLOPE and TGC_UP_DN pins. If timing is not met between
the TGC_SLOPE and TGC_UP_DN signals and the ADC clock signal, then the TGC engine is placed into a
locked state. See the Timing Specifications section for more details.
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 System Clock Configuration for Multiple
Devices 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 routed to the FPGA must be matched to
avoid any timing-related issues. 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 does not function properly.
10.4 Initialization Set Up
After bringing up all the supplies, follow these 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, bit 2 and bit 4 to 1 using SPI signals.
4. 100 µs or later after the start of clock, write the PLLRST1 and PLLRST2 bits to 1. Then, after waiting for at
least 10 µs, write both these bits to 0, which helps initialize the PLL in a proper manner. This method of PLL
initialization is also required whenever the device comes out of a global power-down mode or when
ADC_CLK is switched off and turned on again.
5. Write any other register settings as required.

The device requires a total of five supplies in order to operate properly. These supplies are: AVDD_3P15,
AVDD_1P9, AVDD_1P8, DVDD_1P8, and DVDD_1P2. See the Recommended Operating Conditions table for
detailed information regarding the minimum and maximum operating voltage specifications of different supplies.

11.1.1 Power Sequencing
Figure 106 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 several 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 play a significant role. The device
distinguishes between two different grounds: AVSS (analog ground) and DVSS (digital ground). In most cases,
designing 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.

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 BIAS_2P5, LNA_INCM,
BAND_GAP, and SRC_BIAS. 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) placed as close as possible to the device pins.

SBAS688E – APRIL 2015 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2017
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 supply and ground connection; 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 set.
Low inductance properties must be maintained throughout the design of the PCB layout by the use of proper
planes and layer thickness.
To avoid noise coupling through supply pins, keep sensitive input pins (such as the INM and INP pins) away from
the AVDD_3P15 and AVDD_1P9 planes. For example, do not route the traces or vias connected to these pins
across the AVDD_3P15 and AVDD_1P9 planes. That is, avoid the power planes under the INM and INP pins.
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; keep 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
SSYZ015 that can be downloaded from www.ti.com.

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 default values. Note that
during register programming, all unnamed register bits must be set to 0 for the register
that is being programmed.
The device consists of the following register maps:
1. Global register map. This register map is common to both the ADC_CONV and VCA dies. The global register
map consists of register 0. To program the global register map, set the DTGC_WR_EN bit to 0.
2. ADC register map. This register map programs the ADC die. The ADC register map consists of register 1 to
register 67. To program the ADC register map, set the DTGC_WR_EN bit to 0.
3. VCA register map. This register map contains register 192 to register 230 and programs all VCA blocks
except the DTGC engine. To program the VCA register map, set the DTGC_WR_EN bit to 0.
4. DTGC register map. This register map contains register 1 to register 186 and programs the TGC control
engine of the VCA die. To program the DTGC register map, set the DTGC_WR_EN bit to 1.
