Maxim MAX2077八路超声波前端解决方案

Maxim 公司的MAX2077是八路超声波前端,是全集成的双极高密度的八路超声波接收器,包括了低噪音放大器(LNA),可变增益放大器(VGA),抗混淆滤波器(AAF),5MHz时的参考噪音为23nV/√Hz, 每路的功耗仅为64.8mW,可用于高性能手提和车载超声波系统以及声纳系统.本文介绍了MAX2077的主要特性,功能方框图以及典型应用电路.

The MAX2077 octal-channel ultrasound front-end is a fully integrated, bipolar, high-density, octal-channel ultrasound receiver optimized for low-cost, high-channel count, high-performance portable and cart-based ultrasound systems. The easy-to-use IC allows the user to achieve high-end 2D and PW imaging capability using substantially less space and power. The highly compact imaging receiver lineup, including a low-noise amplifier (LNA), variable-gain amplifier (VGA), and antialias filter (AAF), achieves an ultra-low 2.4dB noise figure at RS = RIN = 200at a very low 64.8mW perchannel power dissipation. The full imaging receiver channel has been optimized for second-harmonic imaging with -64dBFS second-harmonic distortion performance with a 1VP-P 5MHz output signal and broadband SNR of > 68dB* at 20dB gain. The bipolar front-end has also been optimized for excellent lowvelocity PW and color-flow Doppler sensitivity with an exceptional near-carrier SNR of 140dBc/Hz at 1kHz offset from a 5MHz 1VP-P output clutter signal. The MAX2077 octal-channel ultrasound front-end is available in a small 8mm x 8mm, 56-pin thin QFN or 10mm x 10mm, 68-pin thin QFN package with an exposed pad and is specified over a 0°C to +70°C temperature range. To add CW Doppler capability, replace the MAX2077 with the MAX2078.
