THEORY OF OPERATION

AFE5807 OVERVIEW

The AFE5807 is an integrated Analog Front-End (AFE) solution specifically designed for ultrasound systems in

which high performance and small size are required. The AFE5807 integrates a complete time-gain-control

(TGC) imaging path and a continuous wave Doppler (CWD) path. It also enables users to select one of various

power/noise combinations to optimize system performance. The AFE5807 contains eight channels; each

channels includes a Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA), a Voltage Controlled Attenuator (VCAT), a Programmable Gain

Amplifier (PGA), a Low-pass Filter (LPF), a 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), and a CW mixer.

In addition, multiple features in the AFE5807 are suitable for ultrasound applications, such as active termination,

individual channel control, fast power up/down response, programmable clamp voltage control, fast and

consistent overload recovery, etc. Therefore, the AFE5807 brings premium image quality to ultra–portable,

handheld systems all the way up to high-end ultrasound systems. Its simplified function block diagram is listed in

Figure 64.

LOW-NOISE AMPLIFIER (LNA)

In many high-gain systems, a low noise amplifier is critical to achieve overall performance. Using a new

proprietary architecture, the LNA in the AFE5807 delivers exceptional low-noise performance, while operating on

a very low quiescent current compared to CMOS-based architectures with similar noise performance. The LNA

performs single-ended input to differential output voltage conversion. It is configurable for a programmable gain

of 24/18/12dB and its input-referred noise is only 0.63/0.70/0.9nV/

√Hz respectively. Programmable gain settings

result in a flexible linear input range up to 1Vpp, realizing high signal handling capability demanded by new

transducer technologies. Larger input signal can be accepted by the LNA; however the signal can be distorted

since it exceeds the LNA’s linear operation region. Combining the low noise and high input range, a wide input

dynamic range is achieved consequently for supporting the high demands from various ultrasound imaging

modes.

The LNA input is internally biased at approximately +2.4V; the signal source should be ac-coupled to the LNA

input by an adequately-sized capacitor, e.g.

≥0.1uF. To achieve low DC offset drift, the AFE5807 incorporates a

DC offset correction circuit for each amplifier stage. To improve the overload recovery, an integrator circuit is

used to extract the DC component of the LNA output and then fed back to the LNA’s complementary input for DC

offset correction. This DC offset correction circuit has a high-pass response and can be treated as a high-pass
