GENERAL DESCRIPTION

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 CW harmonic rejection I/Q demodulator

with programmable phase rotation, an anti-aliasing filter

(AAF), an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a digital high-

pass filter and an RF decimation by 2.

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 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

several features designed to maximize flexibility and minimize

system cost, such as a programmable clock, data alignment, and

programmable digital test pattern generation. The digital test

patterns include built-in fixed patterns, built-in pseudo random

patterns, and custom user-defined test patterns entered via the

serial port interface.
