Radio frequency (RF) digital HPF and decimation by 2  
10 mm × 10 mm, 144-ball CSP_BGA  
The AD9674 is designed for low cost, low power, small size, and  
ease of use for medical ultrasound. It contains eight channels of a  
VGA with an LNA, a CW harmonic rejection I/Q demodulator  
with programmable phase rotation, an AAF, an ADC, a digital  
HPF, and RF decimation by 2.  
Each channel features a maximum gain of up to 52 dB, a fully  
differential signal path, and an active input preamplifier termination.  
The channel is optimized for high 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 serial port interface (SPI). Assuming a 15 MHz noise  
bandwidth (NBW) and a 21.6 dB LNA gain, the LNA input SNR is  
94 dB. In CW Doppler mode, each LNA output drives an I/Q  
demodulator that has independently programmable phase  
rotation with 16 phase settings.  
Power-down of individual channels is supported to increase battery  
life for portable applications. Standby mode allows quick power-up  
for power cycling. In CW Doppler operation, the VGA, AAF, and  
ADC are powered down. 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 pseudorandom patterns, and custom  
user defined test patterns entered via the SPI.

2 The clock can be adjusted via the SPI.  
3 Mode III must have the RF decimator enabled, unless DVDD runs at 1.8 V and 12-bit mode is configured.  
4 Mode IV must have the RF decimator enabled.  
5 Measurements were made using the device soldered to FR-4 material.  
6 tSAMPLE/7 is based on the number of bits (14) divided by 2 because the interface uses DDR sampling.  
7 tSAMPLE/28 is based on the number of bits (14) multiplied by 2 because the delays are based on half duty cycles.

Figure 33. Simplified Block Diagram of a Single Channel  
Each channel of the AD9674 contains both a TGC signal path and  
a CW Doppler signal path. Common to both signal paths, the  
LNA provides four user adjustable input impedance termination  
options for matching different probe impedances. The CW  
Doppler path includes an I/Q demodulator with the programmable  
phase rotation needed for analog beamforming. The TGC path  
includes a differential X-AMP® VGA, an antialiasing filter, an ADC,  
and a digital HPF and RF decimator. Figure 33 shows a simplified  
block diagram with the external components.  
The total channel gain can then be calculated as shown in  
Equation 3.  
Channel Gain (dB) = LNAGAIN + VGAATT + PGAGAIN  
(3)  
In its default condition, the LNA has a gain of 21.6 dB (12×),  
and the VGA postamplifier gain is 24 dB. If the voltage on the  
GAIN+ pin is 0 V and the voltage on the GAIN− pin is 1.6 V  
(45.1 dB attenuation), the total gain of the channel is 0.5 dB if  
the LNA input is unmatched. The channel gain is −5.5 dB if the  
LNA is matched to 50 Ω (RFB = 300 Ω). However, if the voltage on  
the GAIN+ pin is 1.6 V and the voltage on the GAIN− pin is 0 V  
(0 dB attenuation), VGAATT is 0 dB. This results in a total gain of  
45.3 dB through the TGC path if the LNA input is unmatched, or  
in a total gain of 39.3 dB, if the LNA input is matched. Similarly,  
if the LNA input is unmatched and has a gain of 21.6 dB (12×),  
and the VGA postamplifier gain is 30 dB, the channel gain is

In addition to the analog VGA attenuation described in Equation 2,

1The slashes represent the LNA and PGA gain settings that can change using  
SPI registers.  
Low Noise Amplifier (LNA)  
Each LNA output is dc-coupled to a VGA input. The VGA consists  
of an attenuator with a −45 dB to 0 dB range 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; differential signal paths minimize distortion.  
Good system sensitivity relies on a proprietary ultralow noise LNA  
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 impedance matching.  
The linear in dB gain (law conformance) range of the TGC path is  
45 dB. The slope of the gain control interface is 14 dB/V, and the  
gain control range is −1.6 V to +1.6 V. Equation 1 is the expression  
for the differential voltage, VGAIN, at the gain control interface.  
The LNA input, LI-x, is capacitively coupled to the source. An  
on-chip bias generator establishes dc input bias voltages of  
approximately 2.2 V and centers the output common-mode  
levels at 1.5 V (AVDD2 divided by 2). A capacitor, CLG, of the  
same value as the input coupling capacitor, CS, is connected  
from LG-x to ground.  
Equation 2 is the expression for the VGA attenuation, VGAATT  
as a function of VGAIN

AD9674  
Low value feedback resistors and the current driving capability  
of the output stage allow the LNA to achieve a low input referred  
noise voltage of 0.78 nV/√Hz (at a gain of 21.6 dB). On-chip  
resistor matching results in precise single-ended gains, which are  
critical for accurate impedance control. The use of a fully  
differential topology and negative feedback minimizes distortion.  
Low second-order harmonic distortion is particularly important  
in harmonic ultrasound imaging applications.  
At higher frequencies, the input capacitance of the LNA must be  
considered. The user must determine the level of matching  
accuracy and adjust RFB accordingly.  
RFB is the resulting impedance of the RFB1 and RFB2 combination (see  
Figure 33). Using Address 0x02C in the SPI memory, the AD9674  
can be programmed for four impedance matching options: three  
active terminations and one unterminated option. Table 8 shows an  
example of how to select RFB1 and RFB2 for RIN = 66 Ω, 100 Ω, and  
200 Ω input impedances for an LNA gain = 21.6 dB (12×).  
Active Impedance Matching  
The LNA consists of a single-ended voltage gain amplifier with  
differential outputs; the negative output is externally available on  
two output pins (LO-x and LOSW-x) that are controlled via  
internal switches. This configuration allows active input impedance  
synthesis of three different impedance values (and an unterminated  
value) by connecting up to two external resistances in parallel  
and controlling the internal switch states via the SPI. For example,  
with a fixed gain of 8× (17.9 dB), an active input termination is  
synthesized by connecting a feedback resistor between the negative  
output pin, LO-x, and the positive input pin, LI-x. This well-known  
technique is used for interfacing multiple probe impedances to a  
single system. The input resistance calculation is shown in  
Equation 4.

The bandwidth (BW) of the LNA is greater than 80 MHz. Ultimately,  
the BW of the LNA limits the accuracy of the synthesized RIN. RIN  
=
RS up to approximately 200 Ω. The best match is between 100 kHz  
and 10 MHz where the lower frequency limit is determined by  
the size of the ac coupling capacitors and the upper limit is  
determined by the LNA BW. Furthermore, the input capacitance  
and RS limit the BW at higher frequencies. Figure 34 shows input  
resistance (RIN) vs. frequency for various RFB values.

where A/2 is the single-ended gain or the gain from the LI-x  
inputs to the LO-x outputs, RFB1 and RFB2 are the external feedback  
resistors, the 20 Ω is the internal switch on resistance, and the 30 Ω  
is an internal series resistance common to the two internal  
switches. RFB can equal to RFB1, RFB2, or (RFB1 + 20 Ω)||(RFB2 + 20 Ω)  
depending on the connection status of the internal switches.

Because the amplifier has a gain of 8× from its input to its

is the gain from the LI-x pin to the LO-x pin, and that it is 6 dB  
less than the gain of the amplifier, or 12.1 dB (4×). The input  
resistance is reduced by an internal bias resistor of 6 kΩ in parallel  
with the source resistance connected to the LI-x pin and with the  
LG-x pin ac grounded. Equation 5 can be used to calculate the  
required RFB for a desired RIN, even for higher values of RIN.

For larger RIN values, parasitic capacitance starts rolling off the  
signal BW before the LNA can produce peaking. CSH further  
degrades the match; therefore, do not use CSH for values of RIN  
that are greater than 100 Ω (see Figure 34).  
For example, to set RIN to 200 Ω with a single-ended LNA gain of  
12.1 dB (4×), the value of RFB from Equation 4 must be 950 Ω  
while the switch for RFB2 is open. If the more accurate equation  
(Equation 5) is used to calculate RIN, the value is then 194 Ω  
instead of 200 Ω, resulting in a gain error of less than 0.27 dB.  
Some factors, such as the presence of a dynamic source resistance,  
may influence the absolute gain accuracy more significantly.

LNA Noise  
The short-circuit noise voltage (input referred noise) is an important  
limit on system performance. The short-circuit noise voltage for  
the LNA is 0.78 nV/√Hz at a gain of 21.6 dB, including the VGA  
noise at a VGA postamplifier gain of 27 dB. These measurements,  
which were taken without a feedback resistor, provide the basis for  
calculating the input noise and noise figure (NF) performance.  
CLNA Connection  
CLNA (Ball B7) must have a 1 nF capacitor attached to AVDD2.  
DC Offset Correction/High-Pass Filter  
The AD9674 LNA architecture is designed to correct for dc offset  
voltages that can develop on the external CS capacitor due to  
leakage of the transmit/receive switch during ultrasound transmit  
cycles. The dc offset correction, as shown in Figure 37, provides  
a feedback mechanism to the LG-x input of the LNA to correct  
for this dc voltage.  
Figure 35 and Figure 36 are simulations of noise figure vs. RS results  
with different input configurations and an input referred noise  
voltage of 2.5 nV/√Hz for the VGA. The unterminated (RFB = ∞)  
operation exhibits the lowest equivalent input noise and noise  
figure. Figure 36 shows the noise figure vs. the source resistance  
rising at low RS, where the LNA voltage noise is large compared  
with the source noise, and at high RS due to the noise contribution  
from RFB. The lowest NF is achieved when RS matches RIN.

The feedback acts as a high-pass filter providing dynamic correction  
of the dc offset. The cutoff frequency of the high-pass filter response  
is dependent on the value of the CLG capacitor, the gain of the  
LNA (LNAGAIN), and the gm of the feedback transconductance  
amplifier. The gm value is programmed in Address 0x120, Bits[4:3].  
It is required that CS be equal to CLG for proper operation.  
The differential input pins, GAIN+ and GAIN−, can interface  
to an amplifier, as shown in Figure 38. Decouple and drive the  
GAIN+ and GAIN− pins to accommodate a 3.2 V full-scale input.

The analog gain control can be disabled and the attenuator can be  
controlled digitally using Address 0x011, Bits[7:4]. The control  
range is 45 dB, and the step size is 3.5 dB.  
For other values of CLG, the high-pass filter cutoff frequency can  
be determined by scaling the values from Table 10 or by calculating  
the value based on CLG, LNAGAIN, and gm, as shown in Equation 6.  
VGA Noise  
In a typical application, a VGA compresses a wide dynamic  
range input signal to within the input span of an ADC. The  
input referred noise of the LNA limits the minimum resolvable  
input signal, whereas 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 latter limit is set in accordance with the total noise  
floor of the ADC.

Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA)  
The differential X-AMP VGA provides precise input attenuation  
and interpolation. It has a low input referred noise of 2.5 nV/√Hz  
and excellent gain linearity. The VGA is driven by a fully differential  
input signal from the LNA. The X-AMP architecture produces a  
linear in dB gain law conformance and low distortion levels,  
deviating only 0.5 dB or less from the ideal. The gain slope is  
monotonic with respect to the control voltage and is stable with  
variations in process, temperature, and supply. The resulting total  
gain range is 45 dB, allowing range loss at the endpoints.  
The output referred noise is a flat 40 nV/√Hz (postamplifier  
gain = 24 dB) over most of the gain range because it is dominated  
by the fixed output referred noise of the VGA. At the high end of  
the gain control range, the noise of the LNA and the source prevail.  
The input referred noise reaches its minimum value near the  
maximum gain control voltage, where the input referred  
contribution of the VGA is miniscule.  
The X-AMP inputs are part of a programmable gain amplifier  
(PGA) that completes the VGA. The PGA in the VGA can be  
programmed to a gain of 21 dB, 24 dB, 27 dB, or 30 dB, allowing  
optimization of the channel gain for different imaging modes  
in the ultrasound system. The VGA bandwidth is greater than  
100 MHz. The input stage is designed to ensure excellent frequency  
response uniformity across the gain setting. For TGC mode, the  
design of the input stage minimizes time delay variation across the  
gain range.  
At lower gains, the input referred noise and, therefore, the noise  
figure increase as the gain decreases. The instantaneous dynamic  
range of the system is not lost, however, because the input capacity  
increases as the input referred noise increases. The contribution of  
the ADC noise floor has the same dependence. The important  
relationship is the magnitude of the VGA output noise floor  
relative to that of the ADC.  
Gain control noise is a concern in very low noise applications.  
Thermal noise in the gain control interface can modulate the  
channel gain. The resulting noise is proportional to the output  
signal level and is usually evident only when a large signal is  
present. Take care to minimize noise impinging at the GAIN  
inputs. An external RC filter can be used to remove VGAIN source  
noise. The filter bandwidth must be sufficient to accommodate the  
desired control bandwidth and attenuate unwanted switching noise  
from the external digital-to-analog converters used to drive the  
gain control.  
Gain Control  
The analog gain control interface, GAIN , is a differential input.  
V
GAIN varies the gain of all VGAs through the interpolator by  
selecting the appropriate input stages connected to the input  
attenuator. The nominal VGAIN range is 14 dB/V from −1.6 V to  
+1.6 V, with the best gain linearity from approximately −1.44 V  
to +1.44 V, where the error is typically less than 0.5 dB. For VGAIN  
voltages greater than +1.44 V and less than −1.44 V, the error  
increases. The value of GAIN can exceed the supply voltage by  
1 V without gain foldover.  
The AD9674 can bypass the GAIN inputs and control the gain  
of the attenuator digitally (see the Gain Control section). This  
mode removes any external noise contributions when active gain  
control is not needed.  
The gain control response time is less than 750 ns to settle  
within 10% of the final value for a change from minimum to  
maximum gain.

Antialiasing Filter (AAF)  
default −3 dB low-pass filter cutoff is 1/3, 1/4.5, or 1/6 of the ADC  
sample clock rate. The cutoff can be scaled to 0.75, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0,  
1.13, 1.25, or 1.45 times this frequency using Address 0x00F. The  
cutoff tolerance ( 10%) is maintained from 8 MHz to 18 MHz  
for low band mode or 13.5 MHz to 30 MHz for high band mode.  
The filter that the signal reaches prior to the ADC is used to  
reject dc signals and to band limit the signal for antialiasing.  
The antialiasing filter is a combination of a single-pole high-pass  
filter and a second-order low-pass filter. The high-pass filter  
can be configured as a ratio of the low-pass filter cutoff  
frequency. This is selectable using Address 0x02B, Bits[1:0].  
Table 11 and Table 12 calculate the valid SPI-selectable low-pass  
filter settings and the expected cutoff frequencies for low band  
mode and high band mode at the minimum and the maximum  
sample frequency in each speed mode.  
The filter uses on-chip tuning to trim the capacitors and set the  
desired low-pass cutoff frequency and reduce variations. The

AD9674  
Data Sheet  
Tuning is normally off to avoid changing the capacitor settings  
during critical times. The tuning circuit is enabled through the  
SPI. It is disabled automatically after 512 cycles of the ADC sample  
clock. Initializing the tuning of the filter must be performed  
after initial power-up and after reprogramming of the filter cutoff  
scaling or the ADC sample rate. The tuning is initiated using  
Address 0x02B, Bit 6.  
Figure 39 shows the preferred method for clocking the AD9674. A  
low jitter clock source, such as the Valpey Fisher oscillator, VFAC3-  
BHL-50 MHz, is converted from a single-ended configuration  
to a differential configuration using an RF transformer.  
The back to back Schottky diodes across the secondary transformer  
limit clock excursions into the AD9674 to approximately 0.8 V p-p  
differential. These diodes help prevent large voltage swings of the  
clock from feeding through to other portions of the AD9674, and  
they preserve the fast rise and fall times of the signal, which is  
critical to low jitter performance.  
Four SPI-programmable settings allow users to vary the high-  
pass filter cutoff frequency as a function of the low-pass cutoff  
frequency. Two examples are shown in Table 13: an 8 MHz low-  
pass cutoff frequency and an 18 MHz low-pass cutoff frequency. In  
both cases, as the ratio decreases, the amount of rejection on the  
low end frequencies increases. Therefore, making the entire AAF  
frequency pass band narrow can reduce low frequency noise or  
maximize the dynamic range for harmonic processing.

If a low jitter clock is available, another option is to ac couple a  
differential positive emitter coupled logic (PECL) signal to the  
sample clock input pins, as shown in Figure 40. Analog  
Devices,Inc., offers a family of clock drivers with excellent jitter  
performance,including the AD9516-0, AD9516-1, AD9516-2,  
AD9516-3, and AD9516-5 (these five devices are represented by  
AD9516-x in Figure 40, Figure 41, and Figure 42), as well as the  
AD9524.

AAF/VGA Test Mode  
For debugging and testing, there is a bypass switch to view the  
AAF output on the GPO2 and GPO3 pins. This mode can be  
enabled via Address 0x109, Bit 4. The differential AAF output  
allows only one channel to be accessed at a time. The dc output  
voltage is 1.5 V (or AVDD2/2), and the maximum ac output  
voltage is 2 V p-p.

The AD9674 uses a pipelined ADC architecture. The quantized  
output from each stage is combined into a 14-bit result in the  
digital correction logic. The pipelined architecture permits the  
first stage to operate on a new input sample and the remaining  
stages to operate on the preceding samples. Sampling occurs on  
the rising edge of the clock.

Clock Input Considerations  
For optimum performance, clock the AD9674 sample clock inputs  
(CLK+ and CLK−) with a differential signal. This signal is typically  
ac-coupled into the CLK+ and CLK− pins via a transformer or  
capacitors. These pins are biased internally and require no  
additional bias.  
*50Ω RESISTOR IS OPTIONAL.

In some applications, it is acceptable to drive the sample clock  
inputs with a single-ended CMOS signal. In such applications,  
drive CLK+ directly from a CMOS gate, and bypass the CLK− pin  
to ground with a 0.1 µF capacitor (see Figure 42).

Clock Duty Cycle Considerations  
40  
30  
Typical high speed ADCs use both clock edges to generate a  
variety of internal timing signals. As a result, these ADCs can be  
sensitive to the clock duty cycle. Commonly, a 5% tolerance is  
required on the clock duty cycle to maintain dynamic performance  
characteristics. The AD9674 contains a duty cycle stabilizer (DCS)  
that retimes the nonsampling edge, providing an internal clock  
signal with a nominal 50% duty cycle. This feature allows a wide  
range of clock input duty cycles without affecting the performance  
of the AD9674. When the DCS is on, noise and distortion  
performance are nearly flat for a wide range of duty cycles.  
However, some applications may require the DCS function to  
be off. When the DCS function is off, the dynamic range  
performance can be affected.

ANALOG INPUT FREQUENCY (MHz)  
Figure 43. Ideal SNR vs. Analog Input Frequency and Jitter  
Power Dissipation and Power-Down Mode  
The power dissipated by the AD9674 is proportional to its sample  
rate. The digital power dissipation does not vary significantly  
because it is determined primarily by the DRVDD supply and  
the bias current of the LVDS output drivers. The AD9674 features  
scalable LNA bias currents (see Table 25, Address 0x012). The  
default LNA bias current settings are midhigh.  
By asserting the PDWN pin high, the AD9674 is placed into  
power-down mode. In this state, the device dissipates at a  
maximum of 30 mW. During power-down, the LVDS output  
drivers are placed into a high impedance state. The AD9674  
returns to normal operating mode when the PDWN pin is pulled  
low. This pin is only 1.8 V tolerant. To drive the PDWN pin from a  
3.3 V logic level, insert a 1 kΩ resistor in series with this pin to  
limit the current.  
The duty cycle stabilizer uses a delay-locked loop (DLL) to create  
the nonsampling edge. As a result, any changes to the sampling  
frequency require approximately eight clock cycles to allow the  
DLL to acquire and lock to the new rate.  
Clock Jitter Considerations  
High speed, high resolution ADCs are sensitive to the quality of the  
clock input. The degradation in SNR at a given input frequency (fA)  
due only to aperture jitter (tJ) can be calculated as follows:  
By asserting the STBY pin high, the AD9674 is placed in standby  
mode. In this state, the device typically dissipates 630 m W. Du r i ng  
standby, the entire device, except the internal references, powers  
down. The LVDS output drivers are placed into a high impedance  
state. This mode is well suited for applications that require power  
savings because it allows the device to be powered down when  
not in use and then to be quickly powered up. In addition, the  
time to power up the device is greatly reduced. The AD9674  
returns to normal operating mode when the STBY pin is pulled  
low. This pin is only 1.8 V tolerant. To drive the STBY pin from  
a 3.3 V logic level, insert a 1 kΩ resistor in series with this pin to  
limit the current.  
SNR Degradation = 20 × log 10(1/2 × π × fA × tJ)  
(7)  
In Equation 7, the rms aperture jitter represents the root mean  
square of all jitter sources, including the clock input, analog  
input signal, and ADC aperture jitter (see Figure 43).  
Treat the clock input as an analog signal when aperture jitter may  
affect the dynamic range of the AD9674. Separate power supplies  
for clock drivers from the ADC output driver supplies to avoid  
modulating the clock signal with digital noise. Low jitter, crystal  
controlled oscillators, such as the Valpey Fisher VFAC3 series,  
make the best clock sources. When the clock is generated from  
another type of source (by gating, dividing, or other methods),  
retime it by the original clock during the last step.  
For more information on how jitter performance relates to ADCs,  
refer to the AN-501 Application Note and AN-756 Application Note.

Data Sheet  
In power-down mode, low power dissipation is achieved by  
shutting down the reference, reference buffer, phase-locked loop  
(PLL), and biasing networks. The decoupling capacitors on VREF  
are discharged when entering power-down mode and must be  
recharged when returning to normal operation. As a result, the  
wake-up time is related to the time spent in power-down mode:  
shorter cycles result in proportionally shorter wake-up times. To  
restore the device to full operation, approximately 375 µs is  
required when using the recommended 1 µF and 0.1 µF dec-  
oupling capacitors on the VREF pin and the 0.01 µF decoupling  
capacitors on the GAIN pins. Most of this time is dependent on  
gain decoupling; higher value decoupling capacitors on the  
GAIN pins result in longer wake-up times.

Digital Outputs and Timing  
The AD9674 differential outputs conform to the ANSI-644  
LVDS standard on default power-up. This setting can be  
changed to a low power, reduced signal option similar to the  
IEEE 1596.3 standard via the SPI using Address 0x015, Bit 7.  
This LVDS standard can further reduce the overall power  
dissipation of the device by approximately 36 mW.  
Other power-down options are available when using the SPI port  
interface. The user can individually power down each channel or  
place the entire device into standby mode. When fast wake-up  
times are required, standby mode allows the user to keep the  
internal PLL powered up. The wake-up time is slightly dependent  
on gain. To achieve a 2 µs wake-up time when the device is in  
standby mode, apply 0.8 V to the GAIN pins.  
The LVDS driver current is derived on chip and sets the output  
current at each output equal to a nominal 3.5 mA. A 100 Ω  
differential termination resistor placed at the LVDS receiver  
inputs results in a nominal 350 mV swing at the receiver.

When connecting power to the AD9674, use two separate 1.8 V  
supplies: one for analog (AVDD1) and one for digital (DRVDD).  
When only one 1.8 V supply is available, route it to the AVDD1  
pin first, tap it off, and isolate it with a ferrite bead or a filter  
choke preceded by decoupling capacitors for the DRVDD pin.  
The AD9674 LVDS outputs facilitate interfacing with LVDS  
receivers in custom ASICs and FPGAs that have LVDS capability  
for superior switching performance in noisy environments. Single  
point to point network topologies are recommended with a 100 Ω  
termination resistor placed as close to the receiver as possible.  
No far-end receiver termination and poor differential trace routing  
may result in timing errors. The trace length must be no longer  
than 24 inches; keep the differential output traces close together  
and at equal lengths.  
The DVDD pin can be tied to the 1.8 V DRVDD supply. When  
this is done, route the DVDD supply first, tap it off, and isolate it  
with a ferrite bead or filter choke preceded by decoupling  
capacitors for the DRVDD pin. It is not recommended to use the  
same supply for AVDD1, DVDD, and DRVDD to avoid noise  
issues. For compatibility with the AD9674 or for lower power  
operation, the DVDD pin can be tied to 1.4 V.  
Figure 45 and Figure 46 show an example of the LVDS output  
using the ANSI-644 standard (default) data eye and a time interval  
error (TIE) jitter histogram with trace lengths of less than 24 inches  
on standard FR-4 material. Figure 47 and Figure 48 show an  
example of the trace lengths exceeding 24 inches on standard  
FR-4 material. Notice that the TIE jitter histogram reflects the  
decrease of the data eye opening as the edge deviates from the  
ideal position. Therefore, the user must determine whether the  
waveforms meet the timing budget of the design when the trace  
lengths exceed 24 inches.  
To cover both high and low frequencies, use several decoupling  
capacitors on all supplies. Locate these capacitors close to the  
point of entry at the PCB level and close to the device, with  
minimal trace lengths.  
When using the AD9674, a single PCB ground plane is sufficient.  
With proper decoupling and smart partitioning of the analog,  
digital, and clock sections of the PCB, optimum performance is  
easily achievable.  
Advanced Power Control  
For an ultrasound system, not all channels are needed during all  
scanning periods. The POWER_START and POWER_STOP  
values in the vector profile can be used to delay the channel  
startup and turn the channel off after a certain number of samples.  
These counters are relative to TX_TRIG . The analog circuitry  
must power up before the digital circuitry. The analog circuitry  
must power up (POWER_SETUP) before POWER_START is  
set up in Register 0x112 (see Table 25).

Additional SPI options let the user further increase the internal  
current of all eight outputs to drive longer trace lengths. Even  
though this produces sharper rise and fall times on the data edges,  
increasing the internal current is less prone to bit errors and  
improves frequency distribution. The power dissipation of the  
DRVDD supply increases when this option is used.

In applications that require increased drive current, Address 0x015  
allows the user to adjust the drivers from 2 mA to 3.72 mA. Note  
that this feature requires Bit 3 of Address 0x015 to be set to 1. The  
drive current can be adjusted for both ANSI-644 and IEEE 1596.3  
(low power) mode. See Table 25 for more details.  
The format of the output data is twos complement by default.

Digital data from each channel is serialized based on the number  
of lanes that are enabled (see Table 25). The maximum data rate  
for each serial output lane is 1 Gbps. For one channel per lane with  
a 14-bit data stream and ADC sample clock of 70 MHz, the output  
data rate is 980 Mbps (14 bits × 70 MHz = 980 Mbps) with the  
RF decimator bypassed, and digital HPF bypassed. For higher  
sample rates, enabling the RF decimator is required.

Two output clocks are provided to assist in capturing data from  
the AD9674. The digital clock outputs (DCO ) are used to clock  
the output data and are equal to seven times the sampling clock

Data is clocked out of the AD9674 and must be captured on the  
rising and falling edges of DCO , which support double data  
rate (DDR) capturing. The frame clock outputs (FCO ) signal  
the start of a new output byte and are equal to the sampling  
clock rate.

A 12-, 14-, or 16-bit serial stream can also be initiated from  
Address 0x021, Bits[1:0]. The user can implement different serial  
streams and test device compatibility with lower and higher  
resolution systems using these modes.  
See the Memory Map section for information on how to change  
these additional digital output timing features through the SPI.  
SDIO Pin  
The SDIO pin is required to operate the SPI. The pin has an  
internal 30 kΩ pull-down resistor that pulls this pin low and is only  
1.8 V tolerant. If applications require that this pin be driven  
from a 3.3 V logic level, insert a 1 kΩ resistor in series with this  
pin to limit the current.  
When using the SPI, all the data outputs can also invert from  
their nominal state by setting Bit 2 in the output mode register  
(Address 0x014). This feature is not to be confused with inverting  
the serial stream to an LSB first mode. In default mode, as shown in  
Figure 2, the MSB is represented first in the data output serial  
stream. However, using Address 0x000, Bit 6, this order can be  
inverted so that the LSB is represented first in the data output serial  
stream.  
SCLK Pin  
The SCLK pin is required to operate the SPI. The pin has an  
internal 30 kΩ pull-down resistor that pulls this pin low and is  
only 1.8 V tolerant. To drive the SCLK pin from a 3.3 V logic  
level, insert a 1 kΩ resistor in series with this pin to limit the  
current.  
Digital Output Test Patterns  
Nine digital output test pattern options can be initiated through the  
SPI using Address 0x0D. These options are useful when validating  
receiver capture and timing. See Table 16 for the output test  
mode bit sequencing options. Some test patterns have two serial  
sequential words and can be alternated in various ways depending  
on the test pattern chosen. Note that some patterns may not  
adhere to the data format select option. In addition, custom  
user defined test patterns can be assigned in the user pattern  
registers (Address 0x019 through Address 0x020). All test mode  
options except the pseudonoise (PN) sequence short and PN  
sequence long can support 8- to 14-bit word lengths to verify  
data capture to the receiver.  
CSB Pin  
The CSB pin is required to operate the SPI. The pin has an  
internal 70 kΩ pull-up resistor that pulls this pin high and is  
only 1.8 V tolerant. To drive the CSB pin from a 3.3 V logic  
level, insert a 1 kΩ resistor in series with this pin to limit the  
current.  
RBIAS Pin  
To set the internal core bias current of the ADC, place a resistor  
nominally equal to 10.0 kΩ to ground at the RBIAS pin. Using a  
resistor other than the recommended 10.0 kΩ resistor for RBIAS  
degrades the performance of the device. Therefore, it is imperative  
that at least a 1% tolerance on this resistor be used to achieve  
consistent performance.  
The PN sequence short pattern produces a pseudorandom bit  
sequence that repeats itself every 29 − 1 bits, or 511 bits. A  
description of the PN sequence short pattern and how it is  
generated can be found in Section 5.1 of the ITU-T O.150 (05/96)  
standard. However, the PN sequence long pattern differs from  
the ITU-T O.150 (05/96) standard because it begins with a specific  
value instead of 1s (see Table 15 for the initial values).  
VREF Pin  
A stable and accurate 0.5 V voltage reference is built into the  
AD9674. This voltage reference is gained up internally by a factor  
of 2, setting VREF to 1.0 V, which results in a full-scale differential  
input span of 2.0 V p-p for the ADC. VREF is set internally by  
default, but the VREF pin can be driven externally with a 1.0 V  
reference to achieve more accuracy. However, the AD9674 does  
not support ADC full-scale ranges less than 2.0 V p-p.  
The PN sequence long pattern produces a pseudorandom bit  
sequence that repeats itself every 223 − 1 bits, or 8,388,607 bits.  
A description of the PN sequence long pattern and how it is  
generated can be found in Section 5.6 of the ITU-T O.150 (05/96)  
standard. The PN sequence long pattern differs from the standard,  
however, because the starting value of the pattern is a specific  
value rather than a value of only 1s and the AD9674 inverts the  
bit stream (see Table 15 for the initial values). The output sample  
size depends on the selected bit length.  
When applying the decoupling capacitors to the VREF pin, use  
ceramic, low equivalent series resistance (ESR) capacitors. Ensure  
that these capacitors are close to the reference pin and on the same  
layer of the PCB as the AD9674. The VREF pin must have both  
a 0.1 µF capacitor and a 1 µF capacitor that are connected in  
parallel to the analog ground. These capacitor values are recom-  
mended for the ADC to properly settle and acquire the next valid  
sample.

General-Purpose Output Pins  
The test signal amplitude at the input to the ADC can be calculated  
given the LNA gain, attenuator control voltage, and the PGA gain.  
The general-purpose output pins, GPO0, GPO1, GPO2 and GPO3,  
can be used in a system to provide programmable inputs to  
other chips in the system. The value of each pin is set via  
Address 0x00E to either Logic 0 or Logic 1 (see Table 25).  
Table 18 and Table 19 give example calculations.

Chip Address Pins  
The chip address pins can be used to address individual AD9674  
chips among multiple chips in a system. The chip address mode is  
enabled using Address 0x115, Bit 5 (see Table 25). If the value  
written to Bits[4:0] matches the value on the chip address bit pins  
(ADDR4 to ADDR0]), the device is selected and any subsequent  
SPI writes or reads to addresses indicated as chip registers are  
written only to that device. If chip address mode is disabled, all  
addresses can be written to regardless of the value on the address  
pins.

AD9674  
Data Sheet  
The RESET signal can be either a continuous signal or a single  
pulse, and can be either synchronized with the MLO clock edge  
(recommended) or it can be asynchronous. If a continuous signal is  
used for the RESET , it must be at the LO rate. For a  
synchronous RESET , the device can be configured to sample  
the RESET signal with either the falling or rising edge of the  
MLO clock, which makes it easier to align the RESET signal  
with the opposite MLO clock edge. Register 0x02E is used to  
configure the RESET signal behavior. Synchronize the RESET  
input to the MLO input. Accurate channel to channel phase  
matching can be achieved via a common clock on the RESET  
input when using more than one AD9674 device.  
CW DOPPLER OPERATION  
Each channel of the AD9674 includes an I/Q demodulator. Each  
demodulator has an individual programmable phase shifter.  
The I/Q demodulator is ideal for phased array beamforming  
applications in medical ultrasound. Each channel can be  
programmed for 16 phase settings/360° (or 22.5°/step), selectable  
via the SPI port. The device has a RESET input that is used to  
synchronize the LO dividers of each channel. If multiple AD9674  
devices are used, a common reset across the array ensures a synch-  
ronized phase for all channels. Internal to the AD9674, the  
individual Channel I and Channel Q outputs are current summed.  
If multiple AD9674 devices are used, the I and Q outputs from  
each AD9674 can be current summed and converted to a voltage  
using an external transimpedance amplifier.  
I/Q Demodulator and Phase Shifter  
The I/Q demodulators consist of double balanced, harmonic  
rejection, passive mixers. The RF input signals are converted  
into currents by transconductance stages that have a maximum  
differential input signal capability matching the full-scale LNA  
output. These currents are then presented to the mixers, which  
convert them to baseband (RF − LO) and 2× RF (RF + LO).  
The signals are phase shifted according to the codes that are  
programmed into the SPI latch (see Table 20). The phase shift  
function is an integral part of the overall circuit. The phase shift  
listed in Table 20 is defined as being between the baseband I or Q  
channel outputs. As an example, for a common signal applied to  
a pair of RF inputs to an AD9674, the baseband outputs are in  
phase for matching phase codes. However, if the phase code for  
Channel 1 is 0000 and the phase code for Channel 2 is 0001,  
Channel 2 leads Channel 1 by 22.5°.  
Quadrature Generation  
The internal 0° and 90° LO phases are digitally generated by a  
divide by M logic circuit, where M is 4, 8, or 16. The internal  
divider is selected via Address 0x02E, Bits[2:1] (see Table 25). The  
divider is dc-coupled and inherently broadband; the maximum  
LO frequency is limited only by its switching speed. The duty  
cycle of the quadrature LO signals must be as close to 50% as  
possible for the 4LO and 8LO modes. The 16LO mode does not  
require a 50% duty cycle. Furthermore, the divider is implemented  
so the multiple LO signal reclocks the final flip flops that generate  
the internal LO signals and, therefore, minimizes noise introduced  
by the divide circuitry.  
For optimum performance, the MLO input is driven differentially,  
as on the AD9670 evaluation board. The common-mode voltage  
on each pin is approximately 1.2 V with the nominal 3 V supply.  
It is important to ensure that the MLO source has very low phase  
noise (jitter), a fast slew rate, and an adequate input level to  
obtain optimum performance of the CW signal chain.

Data Sheet  
AD9674  
DIGITAL RF DECIMATOR  
The AD9674 contains digital processing capability. Each channel  
has two stages of processing available: RF decimator and HPF.  
For test purposes, the input to the decimator can be a test  
waveform. Normally, the input to the decimator is the output of  
the ADC. The output of the decimator and filter is sent to the  
serializer for output formatting.  
When writing or reading in stream mode while the SPI  
configuration is set to MSB first mode (default setting for  
Register 0x000), the write/read address must refer to the last  
register address, not the first one. For example, when writing or  
reading the first profile that spans the address space between  
0xF00 and 0xF07, and the SPI port is configured as MSB first,  
the referenced address must be 0xF07 to allow reading from or  
writing to the 64-bit profile in MSB mode. For more information  
about stream mode, see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing  
to High Speed ADCs via SPI.  
The maximum data rate of the serializer is 1000 MSPS. Therefore,  
if the sample rate of the ADC is greater than 65 MSPS, the RF  
decimator (fixed rate of 2) must be enabled. The ADC resolution  
is 14 bits. Saturation of the ADC is determined after the dc offset  
calibration to ensure maximum dynamic range.  
A buffer in the device stores the current profile data. When the  
profile index is written in Register 0x10C, the selected profile is  
read from memory and stored in the current profile buffer. The  
profile memory is read/written in the SPI clock domain. After  
the SPI writes the profile index value, it takes four SPI clock cycles  
to read the profile from RAM and store it in the current profile  
buffer. If the SPI is in LSB mode, these additional SPI clock cycles  
are provided when the profile index register is written. If the SPI is  
in MSB mode, an additional byte needs to be read or written to  
update the profile buffer.  
VECTOR PROFILE  
To minimize the time needed to reconfigure device settings  
while operating, the device supports configuration profiles. Up  
to 32 profiles can be stored in the device. A profile is selected by a  
5-bit index. A profile consists of a 64-bit vector, as described in  
Table 21. Each parameter is concatenated to form the 64-bit profile  
vector. The profile memory starts at Address 0xF00 and ends at  
Address 0xFFF. The memory can be written in either stream  
mode or address selected data mode. However, the memory  
must be read using stream mode.  
Updating the profile memory does not affect the data in the profile  
buffer. The profile index register must be written to cause a refresh  
of the current profile data, even if the profile index register is  
written with the same value.

High-Pass Filter  
RF DECIMATOR  
A second-order Butterworth, high-pass, infinite impulse response  
(IIR) filter can be applied after the RF decimator. The IIR filter  
has a settling time of 2.5 µs and a cutoff frequency of 700 kHz  
for an encode clock of 50 MHz. Therefore, if the ADC clock is  
50 MHz, the first 125 samples (2.5 µs/0.02 µs) must be ignored.  
The filter can be bypassed or enabled in the vector profile if the  
filter is enabled using Address 0x113, Bit 5. If the filter is  
bypassed by setting Address 0x113, Bit 5, to 1, the filter cannot  
be enabled from the vector profile.  
The input to the RF decimator is either the ADC output data or  
a test waveform, as described in the Digital Test Waveforms section.  
The test waveforms are enabled per channel using Address 0x11A  
(see Table 25).  
DC Offset Calibration  
DC offset can be reduced through a manual system calibration  
process. The dc offset of every channel in the system is measured,  
followed by setting a calibration value in Address 0x110 and  
Address 0x111. Note that these registers are both chip and local  
addresses, meaning the registers are accessed using the chip address  
and device index. The dc offset calibration can be bypassed  
using Address 0x10F, Bits[2:0].  
DIGITAL TEST WAVEFORMS  
Digital test waveforms can be used in the digital processing block  
instead of the ADC output. To enable digital test waveforms,  
use Address 0x11B. Each channel can be individually enabled in  
Address 0x11A.  
Multiband AAF and Decimate by 2  
The multiband filter is a finite impulse response (FIR) filter. It is  
programmable with low or high band filtering. The filter requires  
11 input samples to populate the filter. The decimation rate is fixed  
at 2×. Therefore, the decimation frequency is fDEC = fSAMPLE/2.  
Figure 50 and Figure 51 show the frequency response of the filter,  
depending on this mode. Figure 50 shows the attenuation amp-  
litude over the Nyquist frequency range. Figure 51 shows the  
pass band response as nearly flat.  
Waveform Generator  
For testing and debugging, a programmable waveform generator  
can be used in place of ADC data. The waveform generator can  
vary offset, amplitude, and frequency. The generator uses the ADC  
sample frequency, fSAMPLE, and ADC full-scale amplitude, AFULL-SCALE  
as references. The values are set in Address 0x117, Address 0x118,  
and Address 0x119 (see Table 25).

DIGITAL BLOCK POWER SAVING SCHEME  
OR CW MODE  
To reduce power consumption in the digital block after the ADC,  
the RF decimator and filter start in an idle state after running  
the chip (Register 0x008, Bits[2:0] = 000). The digital block only  
switches to a running state when the negative edge of the TX_TRIG  
signal pulse is detected, or with a software TX_TRIG signal write  
(Register 0x10C, Bit 5 = 1).

To put the digital block back into the idle state (while the rest of  
the chip is still running) and save power, raise the TX_TRIG

The digital block will also switch to the idle state if the power  
stop expires when using the advanced power control feature.

AD9674  
SERIAL PORT INTERFACE (SPI)  
Although the device is synchronized during power-up, caution  
must be exercised when using 2-wire mode to ensure that the serial  
port remains synchronized with the CSB line. When operating  
in 2-wire mode, it is recommended that a 1-, 2-, or 3-byte transfer  
be used exclusively. Without an active CSB line, streaming  
mode can be entered but not exited.  
The AD9674 SPI allows the user to configure the signal chain for  
specific functions or operations through the structured register  
space provided inside the chip. The SPI offers the user added  
flexibility and customization, depending on the application.  
Addresses are accessed via the serial port and can be written to  
or read from via the port. Memory is organized into bytes that  
can be further divided into fields, as documented in the Memory  
Map section. For detailed operational information, see the AN-877  
Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI.  
In addition to word length, the instruction phase determines  
whether the serial frame is a read or write operation, allowing  
the serial port to be used both to program the chip and to read  
the contents of the on-chip memory. If the instruction is a read-  
back operation, performing a readback causes the SDIO pin to  
change direction from an input to an output at the appropriate  
point in the serial frame.  
The SCLK, SDIO, and CSB pins define the SPI (see Table 22). The  
SCLK (serial clock) pin synchronizes the read and write data  
presented to the device. The SDIO pin is a dual-purpose pin that  
allows data to be sent to and read from the internal memory map  
registers of the device. The CSB pin is an active low control that  
enables or disables the read and write cycles.  
Data can be sent in MSB first mode or LSB first mode. MSB  
first mode is the default at power-up and can be changed by  
adjusting the configuration register (Address 0x00). For more  
information about this and other features, see the AN-877  
Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI.

Serial clock. Serial shift clock input. SCLK is used to

HARDWARE INTERFACE  
SDIO  
Serial data input/output. Dual-purpose pin that  
typically serves as an input or an output, depending  
on the instruction sent and the relative position in  
the timing frame.  
Chip select bar (active low). This control gates the  
read and write cycles.  
The pins described in Table 22 constitute the physical interface  
between the programming device and the serial port of the  
AD9674. The SCLK and CSB pins function as inputs when  
using the SPI. The SDIO pin is bidirectional, functioning as an  
input during write phases and as an output during readback.  
CSB  
If multiple SDIO pins share a common connection, ensure that  
proper VOH levels are met. Figure 53 shows the number of SDIO  
pins that can be connected together and the resulting VOH levels,  
assuming the same load for each AD9674.  
The falling edge of CSB, in conjunction with the rising edge of  
SCLK, determines the start of the framing sequence. During the  
instruction phase, a 16-bit instruction is transmitted, followed  
by one or more data bytes, which is determined by the W0 and  
W1 bit fields. An example of the serial timing and definitions are  
shown in Figure 54 and Table 23.

During normal operation, CSB signals to the AD9674 that SPI  
commands must be received and processed. When CSB is  
brought low, the device processes SCLK and SDIO to execute  
instructions. Normally, CSB remains low until the communication  
cycle is complete. However, if connected to a slow device, CSB  
can be brought high between bytes, allowing older microcontrollers  
enough time to transfer data into shift registers. CSB can be  
stalled when transferring one, two, or three bytes of data. When  
W0 and W1 are set to 11, the device enters streaming mode and  
continues to process data, either reading or writing, until CSB is  
taken high to end the communication cycle. This mode allows  
complete memory transfers without the need for additional  
instructions. Regardless of the mode, if CSB is taken high in the  
middle of a byte transfer, the SPI state machine is reset, and the  
device waits for a new instruction.

NUMBER OF SDIO PINS CONNECTED TOGETHER  
Figure 53. SDIO Pin Loading  
This interface is flexible enough to be controlled either by  
serial programmable read-only memories (PROMs) or by PIC  
microcontrollers, which provide the user with an alternative to a  
full SPI controller for programming the device (see the AN-812  
Application Note, Microcontroller-Based Serial Port Interface (SPI®)  
Boot Circuit).  
The SPI port can be configured to operate in different manners.  
CSB can also be tied low to enable 2-wire mode. When CSB is  
tied low, SCLK and SDIO are the only pins required for  
communication.

MEMORY MAP  
READING THE MEMORY MAP TABLE  
RESERVED LOCATIONS  
Each row in the memory map register table has eight bit locations.  
The memory map is roughly divided into two sections: the chip  
configuration register map (Address 0x000 to Address 0x1A1)  
and the profile register map (Address 0xF00 to Address 0xFFF).  
Registers that are designated as local registers use the device  
index in Address 0x004 and Address 0x005 to determine to  
which channels of a device the command is applied. Registers  
that are designated as chip registers use the chip address mode  
in Address 0x115 to determine whether the device is to be  
updated by writing to the chip register.  
Do not write to undefined memory locations except when writing  
the default values suggested in this data sheet. Addresses that have  
values marked as 0 must be considered reserved and have a  
0 written into their registers during power-up.  
DEFAULT VALUES  
After a reset, critical registers are automatically loaded with default  
values. These values are indicated in Table 25, where an X refers  
to an undefined feature.  
LOGIC LEVELS  
The address hex column of Table 25 indicates the register address.  
The default value is shown in the default value column. The Bit 7  
(MSB) column is the start of the default hexadecimal value given.  
For example, Address 0x009, the global clock register, has a default  
value of 0x01, meaning that Bit 7 = 0, Bit 6 = 0, Bit 5 = 0, Bit 4 = 0,  
Bit 3 = 0, Bit 2 = 0, Bit 1 = 0, and Bit 0 = 1, or 0000 0001 in binary.  
This setting is the default for the duty cycle stabilizer in the on  
condition.  
“Bit is set” is synonymous with “bit is set to Logic 1” or “writing  
Logic 1 for the bit.” Similarly, “bit is cleared” is synonymous  
with “bit is set to Logic 0” or “writing Logic 0 for the bit.”  
RECOMMENDED START-UP SEQUENCE  
To save system power during programming, the AD9674 powers  
up in power-down mode. To start the device up and initialize  
the data interface, the SPI commands listed in Table 24 are  
recommended. At a minimum, the profile memory for an index of  
0 must be written (Address 0xF00 to Address 0xF03). If additional  
profiles and coefficient memory are required, these can be written  
after Profile Memory 0.  
For more information about the SPI memory map and other  
functions, see the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to  
High Speed ADCs via SPI.

1 Setting the profile index requires an additional SPI write in SPI MSB mode before the chip runs to complete the current profile buffer update.  
2 Running the chip from full power-down mode requires 375 µs wake-up time, as listed in Table 3.  
3 Software TX_TRIG switches the demodulator/decimator digital block to a running state. The software TX_TRIG signal may not be needed if a hardware TX_TRIG signal  
is used to run the digital block.  
4 Tuning the filters requires 512 ADC clock cycles.

0x00  
Vector profile memory  
(global).  
0xFFF  
Set the speed mode in Register 0x002 and write to Register 0x0FF  
at the beginning of the setup of the SPI writes after the device is  
powered up to avoid rewriting other registers after Register 0x0FF  
is written.  
MEMORY MAP REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS  
For more information about the SPI memory map and other  
functions, consult the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing  
to High Speed ADCs via SPI.  
Profile Index and Manual TX_TRIG (Register 0x10C)  
Transfer (Register 0x0FF)  
The vector profile is selected using the profile index in  
All registers except Register 0x002 update as soon as they are  
written. Writing to Register 0x0FF (the value written is don’t  
care) initializes and updates the speed mode (Address 0x002)  
and resets all other registers to their default values (analog and  
ADC registers only, and not JESD204B registers, Register 0x000  
or Register 0x002).  
Register 0x10C, Bits[4:0]. The manual TX_TRIG control in Bit 5  
generates a TX_TRIG signal internal to the device. This signal  
is asynchronous to the ADC sample clock. Therefore, it cannot  
be used to align the data output or initiate advanced power mode  
across multiple devices in the system. The external pin driven  
TX_TRIG control is recommended for systems that require  
synchronization of these features across multiple AD9674 devices.
