AFE5816: AFE5816 configuring

Part Number: AFE5816

Dears,
1、I use AFE5816 in B Ultrasound machine.Now I have troubles when configuing the device.When I configured AFE5816 in Internal non-uniform mode, if the sequence were right?
a、Enter DTGC,configue Global Register的DTGC_WR_EN register;
b、Select DTGC Register'MEM_BANK_SEL register;
c、Configure 1-160 address registers in DTGC register;
d、Afer configure four kinds of Profile,than select appropriate curve,according to Figure76.
When I configured to c,the ADC worked wrong,what's wrong?

2、If the differences about sum of gain about AFE5816 between Low-Noise and Low-power are maximum 46db in Low-Noise and maximum 52db in Low-Power?

3、I configured AFE5816 successfully in Programmable fixed-gain,but imaging between 0.3-0.9cm is black,I thought the part was not blown up,why?

  • Hello Jianguo,

    Can you please provide your register configuration?
    What is the ADC clock frequency?
    Can you please elaborate more on what you mean by ADC worked wrong?
  • Hello Praveen,

    The clock frequency of ADC is 40MHZ.If my configuration according to the sequence as below is right,especially selecting memory and writing 160 datas of MEM_WORD?

    1.Global Register --> address 0x00 parameter 0x0000
    2.ADC Register --> address 0x01 parameter 0x0014
    address 0x04 parameter 0x0010
    3.VCA Register --> address 0xCE parameter 0x4000 (medium-power)
    address 0xE6 parameter 0x001F

    4.Global Register --> address 0x00 parameter 0x0010

    5.DTGC Register --> address 0xB6 parameter 0xC000 || 0x0800 (As Internal non-uniform mode, MODE_SEL = 11,select register of PROFILE, PROFILE_EXT_DIS= 1)
    --> address 0xB5 parameter 0x8000 (SLOPE_FAC)
    -->address 0x01~0xA0,assigning in Memroy
    -->address 0xA1~0xA5, assigning and defining Profile

    I configured AFE5816 successfully in Programmable fixed-gain, but it was a failure when configuring Internal non-uniform mode.

    Thank you!
  • Hello Jianguo,

    We are looking into your configuration register details.
    Can you also provide the configuration memory words that you are programming and the profile words?
  • Dear

    All memory words are 0x000D.
    We use the mode of Up-Dn.When congigured the sequence as below,it didn't work.According to datasheet,the gain of begging is
    26dB,but after congigured AFE5816 as below,the imaging was unchanged.
    (0x00, 0x0010);
    (0xB6,0x4000 || 0x0800 || 0x0000);

    (0xA1, 0x5000 || 0x009F);

    (0xA2, 0x0D00 || 0x000D) ;

    Thank you!
  • Dear,

    The end product is color ultrasound machine,MP in Q3,2017,but asap.The forecast for AFE5816 is least 3K/Year.
