The MAX2037 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 dif-
ferential inputs and outputs and a total gain range of
typically 42dB. In addition, the VGAs offer very low out-
put-referred noise performance suitable for interfacing
with 12-bit ADCs.
The MAX2037 VGA is optimized for less than ±0.25dB
absolute gain error to ensure minimal channel-to-chan-
nel ultrasound beamforming focus error. The device’s
differential outputs are designed to directly drive ultra-
sound ADCs through an external passive anti-aliasing
filter. A switchable clamp is also provided at each ampli-
fier’s outputs to limit the output signals, thereby prevent-
ing ADC overdrive or saturation.
Dynamic performance of the device is optimized to
reduce distortion to support second-harmonic imaging.
The device achieves a second-harmonic distortion
specification of -70dBc at V
5MHz, and an ultrasound-specific* two-tone third-order
intermodulation distortion specification of -52dBc at
V
The MAX2037 operates from a +5.0V power supply,
consuming only 120mW/channel. The device is avail-
able in a 100-pin TQFP package with an exposed pad-
dle. Electrical performance is guaranteed over a 0°C to
+70°C temperature range.
