GENERAL DESCRIPTION
10
The AD8331/AD8332 are single- and dual-channel ultralow
noise, linear-in-dB, variable gain amplifiers. Although optimized
for ultrasound systems, they are usable as low noise variable
gain elements at frequencies up to 120 MHz.

Each channel consists of an ultralow noise preamplifier (LNA),
an X-AMP® VGA with 48 dB of gain range, and a selectable gain
postamplifier with adjustable output limiting. The LNA gain is
19 dB with a single-ended input and differential outputs capable
of accurate, programmable active input impedance matching by
selecting an external feedback resistor. Active impedance
control optimizes noise performance for applications that
benefit from input matching.
Figure 2. Frequency Response vs. Gain
The VGA’s low output-referred noise is advantageous in driving
high speed differential ADCs. The gain of the postamplifier may
be pin selected to 3.5 dB or 15.5 dB to optimize gain range and
output noise for 12-bit or 10-bit converter applications. The
output may be limited to a user-selected clamping level,
preventing input overload to a subsequent ADC. An external
resistor adjusts the clamping level.
The 48 dB gain range of the VGA makes these devices suitable
for a variety of applications. Excellent bandwidth uniformity is
maintained across the entire range. The gain control interface
provides precise linear-in-dB scaling of 50 dB/V for control
voltages between 40 mV and 1 V. Factory trim ensures excellent
part-to-part and channel-to-channel gain matching. Differential
signal paths lead to superb second and third order distortion
performance and low crosstalk.
The operating temperature range is –40°C to +85°. The
AD8331 is available in a 20-lead QSOP package, and the
AD8332 in 28-lead TSSOP and 32-lead LFCSP packages. They
require a single 5 V supply, and the quiescent power
consumption is 125 mW/ch. A power-down (enable) pin is
provided.

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the
human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.

The LNA converts a single-ended input to a differential output
with a voltage gain of 19 dB. When only one output is used, the
gain is 13 dB. The inverting output is used for active input
impedance termination. Each of the LNA outputs is capacitively
coupled to a VGA input. The VGA consists of an attenuator
with a range of 48 dB followed by an amplifier with 21 dB of
gain, for a net gain range of –27 dB to +21 dB. The X-AMP
gain-interpolation technique results in low gain error and
uniform bandwidth, and differential signal paths minimize
distortion.

The final stage is a logic programmable amplifier with gains of
3.5 dB or 15.5 dB. The LO and HI gain modes are optimized
for 12-bit and 10-bit A/D converter applications, in terms of
output-referred noise and absolute gain range. Output voltage
limiting may be programmed by the user.
The linear-in-dB gain control interface is trimmed for slope and
absolute accuracy. The overall gain range is 48 dB, extending
from –4.5 dB to +43.5 dB or from +7.5 dB to +55.5 dB,
depending on the setting of the HILO pin. The slope of the gain
control interface is 50 dB/V, and the gain control range is 40 mV
to 1 V, leading to the following expressions for gain:
LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER (LNA)
Good noise performance relies on a proprietary ultralow noise
preamplifier at the beginning of the signal chain, which
minimizes the noise contribution in the following VGA. Active
impedance control optimizes noise performance for
applications that benefit from input matching.

CFB is needed in series with RFB, since the dc levels at Pins LON
and INH are unequal. Expressions for choosing RFB in terms of
RIN and for choosing CFB are found in the Applications section.
CSH and the ferrite bead enhance stability at higher frequencies
where the loop gain declines and prevents peaking. Frequency
response plots of the LNA are shown in Figure 19 and Figure 20.
The bandwidth is approximately 130 MHz for matched input
impedances of 50 Ω to 200 Ω and declines at higher source
impedances. The unterminated bandwidth (RFB = ∞) is
approximately 80 MHz.
A simplified schematic of the LNA is shown in Figure 59. INH
is capacitively coupled to the source. An on-chip bias generator
centers the output dc levels at 2.5 V and the input voltages at
3.25 V. A capacitor CLMD of the same value as the input coupling
capacitor CINH is connected from the LMD pin to ground.

Each output can drive external loads as low as 100 Ω in addition
to the 100 Ω input impedance of the VGA (200 Ω differential).
Capacitive loading up to 10 pF is permissible. All loads should
be ac-coupled. Typically, Pin LOP output is used as a single-
ended driver for auxiliary circuits, such as those used for
Doppler mode ultrasound imaging, and Pin LON drives RFB.
Alternatively, a differential external circuit can be driven from
the two outputs, in addition to the active feedback termination.
In both cases, important stability considerations discussed in
the Applications section should be carefully observed.

The LNA supports differential output voltages as high as
The impedance at each LNA output is 5 Ω. A 0.4 dB reduction
in open-circuit gain results when driving the VGA, and 0.8 dB
with an additional 100 Ω load at the output. The differential
gain of the LNA is 6 dB higher. If the load is less than 200 Ω on
either side, a compensating load is recommended on the
opposite output.
5 V p-p with positive and negative excursions of 1.25 V, about
a common-mode voltage of 2.5 V. Since the differential gain
magnitude is 9, the maximum input signal before saturation is
275 mV or 550 mV p-p. Overload protection ensures quick
recovery time from large input voltages. Since the inputs are
capacitively coupled to a bias voltage near midsupply, very large
inputs can be handled without interacting with the ESD
protection.
LNA Noise
The input-referred voltage noise sets an important limit on
system performance. The short-circuit input voltage noise of the
LNA is 0.74 nV/√Hz or 0.82 nV/√Hz (at maximum gain),
including the VGA noise. The open-circuit current noise is
2.5 pA/√Hz. These measurements, taken without a feedback
resistor, provide the basis for calculating the input noise and
noise figure performance of the configurations in Figure 60.
Figure 61 and Figure 62 are simulations extracted from these
results, and the 4.1 dB NF measurement with the input actively
matched to a 50 Ω source. Unterminated (RFB = ∞) operation
exhibits the lowest equivalent input noise and noise figure.
Figure 61 shows the noise figure versus source resistance, rising
at low RS, where the LNA voltage noise is large compared to the
source noise, and again at high RS due to current noise. The
VGA’s input-referred voltage noise of 2.7 nV/√Hz is included in
all of the curves.
Low value feedback resistors and the current-driving capability
of the output stage allow the LNA to achieve a low input-
referred voltage noise of 0.74 nV/√Hz. This is achieved with a
modest current consumption of 10 mA per channel (50 mW).
On-chip resistor matching results in precise gains of 4.5 per side
(9 differential), critical for accurate impedance control. The use
of a fully differential topology and negative feedback minimizes
distortion. Low HD2 is particularly important in second
harmonic ultrasound imaging applications. Differential
signaling enables smaller swings at each output, further
reducing third order distortion.
Active Impedance Matching
The LNA supports active impedance matching through an
external shunt feedback resistor from Pin LON to Pin INH. The
input resistance RIN is given by Equation 5, where A is the
single-ended gain of 4.5, and 6 kΩ is the unterminated input
impedance.

UNTERMINATED
The primary purpose of input impedance matching is to
R
IN
improve the system transient response. With resistive
termination, the input noise increases due to the thermal noise
of the matching resistor and the increased contribution of the
LNA’s input voltage noise generator. With active impedance
matching, however, the contributions of both are smaller than
they would be for resistive termination by a factor of 1/(1 +
LNA Gain). Figure 61 shows their relative noise figure (NF)
performance. In this graph, the input impedance has been swept
with RS to preserve the match at each point. The noise figures
for a source impedance of 50 Ω are 7.1 dB, 4.1 dB, and 2.5 dB,
respectively, for the resistive, active, and unterminated
configurations. The noise figures for 200 Ω are 4.6 dB, 2.0 dB,
and 1.0 dB, respectively.

Figure 62 is a plot of the NF versus RS for various values of RIN,
which is helpful for design purposes. The plateau in the NF for
actively matched inputs mitigates source impedance variations.
For comparison purposes, a preamp with a gain of 19 dB and
noise spectral density of a 1.0 nV/√Hz, combined with a VGA
with 3.75 nV/√Hz, would yield a noise figure degradation of
approximately 1.5 dB (for most input impedances), significantly
worse than the AD8332 performance.

The equivalent input noise of the LNA is the same for single-

figure improves to 3.5 dB at 50 Ω without VGA noise, but this
is exclusive of noise contributions from other external circuits
connected to LOP. A series output resistor is usually
recommended for stability purposes, when driving external
circuits on a separate board (see the Applications section). In
low noise applications, a ferrite bead is even more desirable.

Gain control response time is less than 750 ns to settle within
10% of the final value for a change from minimum to max-
imum gain.
X-AMP VGA
The input of the VGA is a differential R-2R ladder attenuator
network, with 6 dB steps per stage and a net input impedance of
200 Ω differential. The ladder is driven by a fully differential
input signal from the LNA and is not intended for single-ended
operation. LNA outputs are ac-coupled to reduce offset and
isolate their common-mode voltage. The VGA inputs are biased
through the ladder’s center tap connection to VCM, which is
typically set to 2.5 V and is bypassed externally to provide a
clean ac ground.
VGA Noise
In a typical application, a VGA compresses a wide dynamic
range input signal to within the input span of an ADC. While
the input-referred noise of the LNA limits the minimum
resolvable input signal, the output-referred noise, which
depends primarily on the VGA, limits the maximum
instantaneous dynamic range that can be processed at any one
particular gain control voltage. This limit is set in accordance
with the quantization noise floor of the ADC.
The signal level at successive stages in the input attenuator falls
from 0 dB to –48 dB, in 6 dB steps. The input stages of the
X-AMP are distributed along the ladder, and a biasing interpolator,
controlled by the gain interface, determines the input tap point.
With overlapping bias currents, signals from successive taps merge
to provide a smooth attenuation range from 0 dB to –48 dB. This
circuit technique results in excellent, linear-in-dB gain law
conformance and low distortion levels and deviates 0.2 dB or less
from ideal. The gain slope is monotonic with respect to the control
voltage and is stable with variations in process, temperature, and
supply.
Output and input-referred noise as a function of VGAIN are
plotted in Figure 21 and Figure 23 for the short-circuited input
condition. The input noise voltage is simply equal to the output
noise divided by the measured gain at each point in the control
range.
The output-referred noise is flat over most of the gain range,
since it is dominated by the fixed output-referred noise of the
VGA. Values are 48 nV/√Hz in LO gain mode and 178 nV/√Hz
in HI gain mode. At the high end of the gain control range, the
noise of the LNA and source prevail. The input-referred noise
reaches its minimum value near the maximum gain control
voltage, where the input-referred contribution of the VGA
becomes very small.
The X-AMP inputs are part of a gain-of-12 feedback amplifier,
which completes the VGA. Its bandwidth is 150 MHz. The input
stage is designed to reduce feedthrough to the output and
ensure excellent frequency response uniformity across gain
setting (see Figure 8 and Figure 9).
At lower gains, the input-referred noise, and thus noise figure,
increases as the gain decreases. The instantaneous dynamic
range of the system is not lost, however, since the input capacity
increases with it. The contribution of the ADC noise floor has
the same dependence as well. The important relationship is
the magnitude of the VGA output noise floor relative to that
of the ADC.
Gain Control
Position along the VGA attenuator is controlled by a single-
ended analog control voltage, VGAIN, with an input range of 40 mV
to 1.0 V. The gain control scaling is trimmed to a slope of 50 dB/V
(20 mV/dB). Values of VGAIN beyond the control range saturate to
minimum or maximum gain values. Both channels of the
AD8332 are controlled from a single gain interface to preserve
matching. Gain can be calculated using Equations 1 and 2.
With its low output-referred noise levels, these devices ideally
drive low-voltage ADCs. The converter noise floor drops 12 dB
for every 2 bits of resolution and drops at lower input full-scale
voltages and higher sampling rates. ADC quantization noise is
discussed in the Applications section.
Gain accuracy is very good since both the scaling factor and
absolute gain are factory trimmed. The overall accuracy relative
to the theoretical gain expression is 1 dB for variations in
temperature, process, supply voltage, interpolator gain ripple, trim
errors, and tester limits. The gain error relative to a best-fit line for
a given set of conditions is typically 0.2 dB. Gain matching
between channels is better than 0.1 dB (see Figure 7, which shows
gain errors in the center of the control range). When VGAIN < 0.1
or > 0.95, gain errors are slightly greater.
The preceding noise performance discussion applies to a
differential VGA output signal. Although the LNA noise
performance is the same in single-ended and differential
applications, the VGA performance is not. The noise of the
VGA is significantly higher in single-ended usage, since the
contribution of its bias noise is designed to cancel in the
differential signal. A transformer can be used with single-ended
applications when low noise is desired.
The gain slope may be inverted, as shown in Figure 58 (avail-
able in most versions). The gain drops with a slope of
–50 dB/V across the gain control range from maximum to
minimum gain. This slope is useful in applications, such as
automatic gain control, where the control voltage is
proportional to the measured output signal amplitude. The
inverse gain mode is selected by setting the MODE pin HI.

Gain control noise is a concern in very low noise applications.
Thermal noise in the gain control interface can modulate the
channel gain. The resultant noise is proportional to the output
signal level and usually only evident when a large signal is
present. Its effect is observable only in LO gain mode, where the
noise floor is substantially lower. The gain interface includes an
on-chip noise filter, which reduces this effect significantly at
frequencies above 5 MHz. Care should be taken to minimize
noise impinging at the GAIN input. An external RC filter may
be used to remove VGAIN source noise. The filter bandwidth
should be sufficient to accommodate the desired control
bandwidth.

Common-Mode Biasing
Although the quantization noise floor of an ADC depends on a
number of factors, the 48 nV/√Hz and 178 nV/√Hz levels are
well suited to the average requirements of most 12-bit and
10-bit converters, respectively. An additional technique,
described in the Applications section, can extend the noise floor
even lower for possible use with 14-bit ADCs.
An internal bias network connected to a midsupply voltage
establishes common-mode voltages in the VGA and postamp.
An externally bypassed buffer maintains the voltage. The bypass
capacitors form an important ac ground connection, since the
VCM network makes a number of important connections
internally, including the center tap of the VGA’s differential
input attenuator, the feedback network of the VGA’s fixed gain
amplifier, and the feedback network of the postamplifier in both
gain settings. For best results, use a 1 nF and a 0.1 µF capacitor
in parallel, with the 1 nF nearest to Pin VCM. Separate VCM
pins are provided for each channel. For dc-coupling to a 3 V
ADC, the output common-mode voltage is adjusted to 1.5 V by
biasing the VCM pin.
Output Clamping
Outputs are internally limited to a level of 4.5 V p-p differential
when operating at a 2.5 V common-mode voltage. The postamp
implements an optional output clamp engaged through a
resistor from RCLMP to ground. Table shows a list of
recommended resistor values.
Output clamping can be used for ADC input overload
protection, if needed, or postamp overload protection when
operating from a lower common-mode level, such as 1.5 V. The
user should be aware that distortion products increase as output
levels approach the clamping levels and should adjust the clamp
resistor accordingly. Also, see the Applications section.
POSTAMPLIFIER
The final stage has a selectable gain of 3.5 dB or 15.5 dB, set by
the logic Pin HILO. These correspond to linear gains of 1.5 or 6.
A simplified block diagram of the postamplifier is shown in
Figure 64.
The accuracy of the clamping levels is approximately 5% in LO
or HI mode. Figure 65 illustrates the output characteristics for a
Separate feedback attenuators implement the two gain settings.
These are selected in conjunction with an appropriately scaled
input stage to maintain a constant 3 dB bandwidth between the
two gain modes (~150 MHz). The slew rate is 1200 V/µs in HI
gain mode and 300 V/µs in LO gain mode. The feedback
networks for HI and LO gain modes are factory trimmed to
adjust the absolute gains of each channel.

The topology of the postamplifier provides constant input-
referred noise with the two gain settings and variable output-
referred noise. The output-referred noise in HI gain mode
increases (with gain) by four. This setting is recommended
when driving converters with higher noise floors. The extra gain
boosts the output signal levels and noise floor appropriately.
When driving circuits with lower input noise floors, the LO gain
mode optimizes the output dynamic range.

When a long trace to Pin INH is unavoidable, or if both LNA
outputs drive external circuits, a small ferrite bead (FB) in series
with Pin INH preserves circuit stability with negligible effect on
noise. The bead shown is 75 Ω at 100 MHz (Murata BLM21 or
equivalent). Other values may prove useful.
Figure 67. Interconnections of the LNA and VGA
Both LNA outputs are available for driving external circuits. Pin
LOP should be used in those instances when a single-ended
LNA output is required. The user should be aware of stray
capacitance loading of the LNA outputs, in particular LON. The
LNA can drive 100 Ω in parallel with 10 pF. If an LNA output is
routed to a remote PC board, it will tolerate a load capacitance
up to 100 pF with the addition of a 49.9 Ω series resistor or
ferrite 75 Ω/100 MHz bead.
Figure 67 shows the interconnection details of the LNA output.
Capacitive coupling between LNA outputs and the VGA inputs
is required because of differences in their dc levels and to
eliminate the offset of the LNA. Capacitor values of 0.1 µF are
recommended. There is 0.4 dB loss in gain between the LNA
output and the VGA input due to the 5 Ω output resistance.
Additional loading at the LOP and LON outputs will affect
LNA gain.
Rev. C | Page 22 of 32
AD8331/AD8332
Gain Input
Logic Inputs—ENB, MODE, and HILO
Pin GAIN is common to both channels of the AD8332. The
input impedance is nominally 10 MΩ and a bypass capacitor
from 100 pF to1 nF is recommended.
The input impedance of all enable pins is nominally 25 kΩ and
may be pulled up to 5 V (a pull-up resistor is recommended) or
driven by any 3 V or 5 V logic families. The enable pins perform
a power-down function, when disabled, the VGA outputs are
near ground. Multiple devices may be driven from a common
source. Consult the pin-function tables for circuit functions
controlled by the enable pins.
Parallel connected devices may be driven by a common voltage
source or DAC. Decoupling should take into account any
bandwidth considerations of the drive waveform, using the total
distributed capacitance.
Pin HILO is compatible with 3 V or 5 V CMOS logic families. It
is either connected to ground or pulled up to 5 V, depending on
the desired gain range and output noise.
If gain control noise in LO gain mode becomes a factor,
maintaining ≤15 nV/√Hz noise at the GAIN pin will ensure
satisfactory noise performance. Internal noise prevails below
15 nV/√Hz at the GAIN pin. Gain control noise is negligible in
HI gain mode.
Optional Output Voltage Limiting
The RCLMP pin provides the user with a means to limit the
output voltage swing when used with loads that have no
provisions for prevention of input overdrive. The peak-to-peak
limited voltage is adjusted by a resistor to ground, and Table
lists several voltage levels and the corresponding resistor value.
Unconnected, the default limiting level is 4.5 V p-p.
VCM Input
The common-mode voltage of Pins VCM, VOL, and VOH
defaults to 2.5 Vdc. With output ac-coupled applications, the
VCM pin will be unterminated; however, it must still be
bypassed in close proximity for ac grounding of internal
circuitry. The VGA outputs may be dc connected to a
differential load, such as an ADC. Common-mode output
voltage levels between 1.5 V and 3.5 V may be realized at Pins
VOH and VOL by applying the desired voltage at Pin VCM.
DC-coupled operation is not recommended when driving loads
on a separate PC board.
Note that third harmonic distortion will increase as waveform
amplitudes approach clipping. For lowest distortion, the clamp
level should be set higher than the converter input span. A
clamp level of 1.5 V p-p is recommended for a 1 V p-p linear
output range, 2.7 V p-p for a 2 V p-p range, or 1 V p-p for a
0.5 V p-p operation. The best solution will be determined
experimentally. Figure 69 shows third harmonic distortion
as a function of the limiting level for a 2 V p-p output signal.
A wider limiting level is desirable in HI gain mode.
The voltage on the VCM pin is sourced by an internal buffer
with an output impedance of 30 Ω and a 2 mA default output
current (see Figure 68). If the VCM pin is driven from an
external source, its output impedance should be <<30 Ω and its
current drive capability should be >>2 mA. If the VCM pins of
several devices are connected in parallel, the external buffer
should be capable of overcoming their collective output
currents. When a common-mode voltage other than 2.5 V is
used, a voltage-limiting resistor, RCLMP, is needed to protect
against overload.

Table 4. Clamp Resistor Values
The relative noise and distortion performance of the two gain
modes can be compared in Figure 21 and Figure 27 through
Figure 37. The 48 nV/√Hz noise floor of the LO gain mode is
suited to converters with higher sampling rates or resolutions
(such as 12 bits). Both gain modes can accommodate ADC full-
scale voltages as high as 4 V p-p. Since distortion performance
remains favorable for output voltages as high as 4 V p-p (see
Figure 32), it is possible to lower the output-referred noise even
further by using a resistive attenuator (or transformer) at the
output. The circuit in Figure 71 has an output full-scale range of
2 V p-p, a gain range of –10.5 dB to +37.5 dB, and an output
noise floor of 24 nV/√Hz, making it suitable for some 14-bit
ADC applications.

OVERLOAD
Recommended resistor values are 84.5 Ω for LO gain mode and
100 Ω for HI gain mode (see Figure 66) and are placed near
Pins VOH and VOL. Lower value resistors are permissible for
applications with nearby loads or with gains less than 40 dB.
Lower values are best selected empirically.
These devices respond gracefully to large signals that overload
its input stage and to normal signals that overload the VGA
when the gain is set unexpectedly high. Each stage is designed
for clean-limited overload waveforms and fast recovery when
gain setting or input amplitude is reduced.
An antialiasing noise filter is typically used with an ADC. Filter
requirements are application dependent.
Signals larger than 275 mV at the LNA input are clipped to
5 V p-p differential prior to the input of the VGA. Figure 44
shows the response to a 1 V p-p input burst. The symmetric
overload waveform is important for applications, such as CW
Doppler ultrasound, where the spectrum of the LNA outputs
during overload is critical. The input stage is also designed to
accommodate signals as high as 2.5 V without triggering the
slow-settling ESD input protection diodes.
When the ADC resides on a separate board, the majority of
filter components should be placed nearby to suppress noise
picked up between boards and mitigates charge kickback from
the ADC inputs. Any series resistance beyond that required for
output stability should be placed on the ADC board. Figure 70
shows a second order low-pass filter with a bandwidth of
20 MHz. The capacitor is chosen in conjunction with the 10 pF
input capacitance of the ADC.
Both stages of the VGA are susceptible to overload. Postamp
limiting is more common and results in the clean-limited
output characteristics found in Figure 45. Under more extreme
conditions, the X-AMP will overload, causing the minor glitches
evident in Figure 46. Recovery is fast in all cases. The graph in
Figure 72 summarizes the combinations of input signal and
gain that lead to the different types of overload.

The previously mentioned clamp interface controls the
maximum output swing of the postamp and its overload
response. When no RCLMP resistor is provided, this level defaults
to near 4.5 V p-p differential to protect outputs centered at a
2.5 V common mode. When other common-mode levels are set
through the VCM pin, the value of RCLMP should be chosen for
graceful overload. A value of 8.3 kΩ or less is recommended for
1.5 V or 3.5 V common-mode levels (7.2 kΩ for HI gain mode).
This limits the output swing to just above 2 V p-p diff.
Several critical LNA areas require special care. The LON and
LOP output traces must be as short as possible before
connecting to the coupling capacitors connected to Pins VIN
and VIP. RFB must be placed nearby the LON pin as well.
Resistors must be placed as close as possible to the VGA output
pins VOL and VOH to mitigate loading effects of connecting

Applications in which high transients are applied to the LNA

are forward and reverse voltages and trr (or τrr.). The Infineon
BAS40 series shown in Figure 73 has a τrr of 100 ps and VF of
310 mV at 1 mA. Many variations of these specifications can be
found in vendor catalogs.
DISABLING THE LNA
Where accessible, connection of the LNA enable pin to ground
will power down the LNA, resulting in a current reduction of
about half. In this mode, the LNA input and output pins may be
left unconnected, however the power must be connected to all
the supply pins for the disabling circuit to function. Figure 74
illustrates the connections using an AD8331 as an example.

Short-circuit input noise measurements are made using
Figure 53. The input-referred noise level is determined by
dividing the output noise by the numerical gain between Point
A and Point B and accounting for the noise floor of the
spectrum analyzer. The gain should be measured at each
frequency of interest and with low signal levels since a 50 Ω
load is driven directly. The generator is removed when noise
measurements are made.

The AD8332 ideally meets the requirements of medical and
industrial ultrasound applications. The TGC amplifier is a key
subsystem in such applications, since it provides the means for
echolocation of reflected ultrasound energy.

Figure 76 through Figure 78 are schematics of a dual, fully
differential system using the AD8332 and AD9238 12-bit high
speed ADC with conversion speeds as high as 65 MSPS. In this
example, the VGA outputs are dc-coupled, using the reference
output of the ADC and a level shifter to center the common-
mode output voltage to match that of the converter. Consult the
data sheet of the converter to determine whether external CMV
biasing is required. AC coupling is recommended if the CMV
of the VGA and ADC are widely disparate.

Using the circuit shown, and a high speed ADC FIFO
evaluation kit connected to a laptop PC, an FFT can be
performed on the AD8332. With the on-board clock of 20 MHz,
and minimal low-pass filtering, and both channels driven with a
1 MHz filtered sine wave, the THD is –75 dB, noise floor –93 dB
and HD2 –83 dB.
