Ultrasound Variable-Gain Amplifier
General Description
The MAX2035 8-channel variable-gain amplifier (VGA) is designed for high linearity, high dynamic range, and low-noise performance targeting ultrasound imaging and Doppler applications. Each amplifier features differential inputs and outputs and a total gain range of typically 50dB. In addition, the VGAs offer very low output-referred noise performance suitable for interfacing with 10-bit ADCs. The MAX2035 VGA is optimized for less than ±0.5dB absolute gain error to ensure minimal channel-to-channel ultrasound beamforming focus error. The device’s differential outputs are designed to directly drive ultrasound ADCs through an external passive anti-aliasing filter. A switchable clamp is also provided at each amplifier’s outputs to limit the output signals, thereby preventing ADC overdrive or saturation. Dynamic performance of the device is optimized to reduce distortion to support second-har.
