SLOS729B – OCTOBER 2011 – REVISED APRIL 2012

The AFE5808A ADC clock input can be driven by differential clocks (sine wave, LVPECL or LVDS) or singled

clocks (LVCMOS) similar to CW clocks as shown in Figure 89. In the single-end case, it is recommended that the

use of low jitter square signals (LVCMOS levels, 1.8V amplitude). See TI document SLYT075 for further details

on the theory.

The jitter cleaner CDCM7005 or CDCE72010 is suitable to generate the AFE5808A’s ADC clock and ensure the

performance for the14bit ADC with 77dBFS SNR. A clock distribution network is shown in Figure 91.

ADC Reference Circuit

The ADC’s voltage reference can be generated internally or provided externally. When the internal reference

mode is selected, the REFP/M becomes output pins and should be floated. When 3[15] =1 and 1[13]=1, the

device is configured to operate in the external reference mode in which the VREF_IN pin should be driven with a

1.4V reference voltage and REFP/M must be left open. Since the input impedance of the VREF_IN is high, no

special drive capability is required for the 1.4V voltage reference

The digital beam-forming algorithm in an ultrasound system relies on gain matching across all receiver channels.

A typical system would have about 12 octal AFEs on the board. In such a case, it is critical to ensure that the

gain is matched, essentially requiring the reference voltages seen by all the AFEs to be the same. Matching

references within the eight channels of a chip is done by using a single internal reference voltage buffer.

Trimming the reference voltages on each chip during production ensures that the reference voltages are well-

matched across different chips. When the external reference mode is used, a solid reference plane on a printed

circuit board can ensure minimal voltage variation across devices. More information on voltage reference design

can be found in the document SLYT339. The dominant gain variation in the AFE5808A comes from the VCA

gain variation. The gain variation contributed by the ADC reference circuit is much smaller than the VCA gain

variation. Hence, in most systems, using the ADC internal reference mode is sufficient to maintain good gain

matching among multiple AFE5808As. In addition, the internal reference circuit without any external components

achieves satisfactory thermal noise and phase noise performance.

POWER MANAGEMENT

Power/Performance Optimization

The AFE5808A has options to adjust power consumption and meet different noise performances. This feature

would be useful for portable systems operated by batteries when low power is more desired. Refer to

characteristics information listed in the table of electrical characteristics as well as the typical characteristic plots.

Power Management Priority

Power management plays a critical role to extend battery life and ensure long operation time. The AFE5808A

has fast and flexible power down/up control which can maximize battery life. The AFE5808A can be powered

down/up through external pins or internal registers. The following table indicates the affected circuit blocks and

priorities when the power management is invoked. The higher priority controls can overwrite the lower priority

ones.In the device, all the power down controls are logically ORed to generate final power down for different

blocks. Thus, the higher priority controls can cover the lower priority ones. The AFE5808A register settings are

maintained when the AFE5808A is in either partial power down mode or complete power down mode.
