AFE5816: Source Impedance Spec

Part Number: AFE5816

I guess before we get to my question, what's up with the datasheet on the AFE5816?  It's only a couple pages long, it used to be really long and detailed...I can't find the full datasheet anywhere.  Please send that or update the website with it if possible.

The datasheet claims on the first page that it supports matched source impedances of 50-800 ohms.  Can you clarify if that spec is referring to the source's real component of it's impedance or alternatively the magnitude of it's impedance.  Many ultrasonic and sonar transducers in general are capacitive in nature, so their real component of the impedance could be very low while the magnitude (or reactive component) is much higher.

Thanks in advance and my apologies if this is a bone-head question.
