Crosspoint Switch
Each LNA is followed by a transconductance amp for voltage-
to-current conversion. Currents can be routed to one of eight
pairs of differential outputs or to 16 single-ended outputs for
summing. Each CWD output pin sinks 2.4 mA dc current, and
the signal has a full-scale current of ±2 mA for each channel
selected by the crosspoint switch. For example, if four channels
are summed on one CWD output, the output sinks 9.6 mA dc
and has a full-scale current output of ±8 mA.
The maximum number of channels combined must be considered
when setting the load impedance for current-to-voltage conversion
to ensure that the full-scale swing and common-mode voltage
are within the operating limits of the AD9272. When interfacing
to the AD8339, a common-mode voltage of 2.5 V and a full-scale
swing of 2.8 V p-p are desired. This can be accomplished by
connecting an inductor between each CWD output and a 2.5 V
supply and then connecting either a single-ended or differential
load resistance to the CWDx± outputs. The value of resistance
should be calculated based on the maximum number of channels
that can be combined.
CWDx± outputs are required under full-scale swing to be
greater than 1.5 V and less than AVDD2 (3.0 V supply).
TGC OPERATION
The TGC signal path is fully differential throughout to
maximize signal swing and reduce even-order distortion;
however, the LNAs are designed to be driven from a single-
ended signal source. Gain values are referenced from the single-
ended LNA input to the differential ADC input. A simple
exercise in understanding the maximum and minimum gain
requirements is shown in Figure 46.

Therefore, 42 dB of gain range for a 12-bit, 40 MSPS ADC with
15 MHz of bandwidth should suffice in achieving the dynamic
range required for most ultrasound systems today.
The system gain is distributed as listed in Table 8.

The linear-in-dB gain (law conformance) range of the TGC path
is 42 dB. The slope of the gain control interface is 28 dB/V, and
the gain control range is −0.8 V to +0.8 V. Equation 3 is the
expression for the differential voltage V
the expression for the channel gain.
where ICPT is the intercept point of the TGC gain.
In its default condition, the LNA has a gain of 21.3 dB (12×), and
the VGA postamp gain is 24 dB if the voltage on the GAIN+ pin is
0 V and GAIN− is 0.8 V (42 dB attenuation). This gives rise to a
total gain (or ICPT) of 3.6 dB through the TGC path if the LNA
input is unmatched or of −2.4 dB if the LNA is matched to 50 Ω
(R
GAIN− pin is 0.8 V (0 dB attenuation), however, the VGA gain
is 24 dB. This results in a total gain of 45 dB through the TGC path
if the LNA input is unmatched or in a total gain of 39 dB if the
LNA input is matched.
Each LNA output is dc-coupled to a VGA input. The VGA consists
of an attenuator with a range of −42 dB to 0 dB followed by an
amplifier with 21 dB, 24 dB, 27 dB, or 30 dB of gain. The X-AMP
gain-interpolation technique results in low gain error and uniform
bandwidth, and differential signal paths minimize distortion.
