ADI公司的AD9277是低成本低功耗小型容易使用的8路14位ADC,包括8路可变增益放大器(VGA)和低噪音放大器(LNA),抗混淆滤波器(AAF)和14位10MSPS到50MSPS本世纪末ADC以及可编相位旋转的I/Q解调器,主要用在医疗图像和超声波图像以及汽车雷达.本文介绍了AD9277主要特性和产品亮点,方框图, 超声波系统方框图以及AD9277评估板主要特性,评估板连接图,电路图,PCB布局图和材料清单.此外还介绍了ADI医疗超声解决方案方框图和信号链接图.

The AD9277 is designed for low cost, low power, small size, and ease of use. It contains eight channels of a variable gain amplifier (VGA) with a low noise preamplifier (LNA); an anti-aliasing filter (AAF); a 14-bit, 10 MSPS to 50 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC); and an I/Q demodulator with programmable phase rotation.

Each channel features a variable gain range of 42 dB, a fully differ-ential signal path, an active input preamplifier termination, a maximum gain of up to 52 dB, and an ADC with a conversion rate of up to 50 MSPS. The channel is optimized for 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. The LNA input noise is typically 0.75 nV/√Hz at a gain of 21.3 dB, and the combined input-referred noise of the entire channel is 0.85 nV/√Hz at maximum gain. Assuming a 15 MHz noise bandwidth (NBW) and a 21.3 dB LNA gain, the input SNR is roughly 92 dB. In CW Doppler mode, each LNA output drives an I/Q demodulator. Each demodulator has inde-pendently programmable phase rotation through the SPI with 16 phase settings.

The AD9277 requires a LVPECL-/CMOS-/LVDS-compatible sample rate clock for full performance operation. No external reference or driver components are required for many applications.

The ADC automatically multiplies the sample rate clock for the appropriate LVDS serial data rate. A data clock (DCO±) for capturing data on the output and a frame clock (FCO±) trigger for signaling a new output byte are provided.

Powering down individual channels is supported to increase battery life for portable applications. A standby mode option allows quick power-up for power cycling. In CW Doppler opera-tion, the VGA, AAF, and ADC are powered down. The power of the TGC path scales with selectable ADC speed power modes.

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.

Fabricated in an advanced CMOS process, the AD9277 is available in a 16 mm × 16 mm, RoHS compliant, 100-lead TQFP. It is specified over the industrial temperature range of −40℃ to +85℃.

ADI医疗超声解决方案

超声系统可以通过向人体发射声学能量,然后接收并处理回波,从而产生内部器官和结构的图像,绘制血液流动和组织运动图,以及提供高度精确的血流速度信息。

超声系统包含传感器、高压开关、高压发射电路、发射(Tx)/接收(Rx)开关、接收通道模拟前端(AFE)、波束形成器、波束形成后的数字信号处理电路、显示处理电路和外设。AFE包括低噪声放大器(LNA)、可变增益放大器(VGA)、抗混叠滤波器(AAF)和模数转换器(ADC)。针对不同应用,波束形成可以分为两类:数字波束形成和模拟波束形成。

医疗超声系统设计考虑和主要挑战


• AFE电路性能,如噪声性能、信噪比(SNR)和动态范围(DR)等,动态范围的典型要求如下:B模式70 dB,PWD(脉冲波多普勒)140 dB,CWD(连续波多普勒)160 dB。

• 发射电压——为提高信号穿透率以及进行谐波成像,需要很高的发射电压。声功率随着发射电压增大而提高,但发射声功率不能超过美国食品和药品管理局(FDA)等机构规定的安全要求限制。

• 波束形成器的复杂度——要获得高图像质量,就要求采用大量波束形成通道。复杂度增加进而导致功耗升高,并且需要更多成像通道来实施。

• 散热——随着设备向小型化发展,尤其是在还要提高图像质量的时候,散热问题显得非常重要。
