Forum Post: RE: Questions about TX-SDK-V2 EVB
Hi Friday,Sorry you can't see the schematic. Let's try again. The schematic is not on the LM96511 datasheet. It's part of our internal demo board. As you can see from the schematic, the external diode...

Chandu,The purpose of the VCNTL pins are for Time-Gain Compensation (TGC), where the gain of the VCAT block is varied over time. This can be used in the ultrasound system to offset natural attenuation...

Hi,Could someone please provide for me the speed grade of the AFE5809?I need this to set up the ALTPLL on my Cyclone V.Also are there any examples on LVDS with the AFE5809?Thanks!Jack

Hi Chandu,Does the pulser output get less distorted when you set B3B2B1 to 000 or 001? I am not familiar with the TX810. However, looking at fig 14 of the TX810 datasheet, it might loading the output...

Hi Ly,1. Why not? Sure you can2. Vcntl input resistance of AFE5808 is 200kOhm. Connecting 32 devices in parallel gives you 6250 Ohm. Max TGC voltage is 1.5V, therefore you require 240uA. Max output...

Hi Jack,AFE5809 is 65MSPS. Regarding the LVDS I understand you mean deserializer. I'm not an expert on Altera FPGA's, I use Xilinx. I think you should ask this question on Altera forum. However, take a...

Hi Chandu,You don't need any special cable interfacing to the output of the pulser. Is it possible you can post the schematic of your design?Regards,Charles

Hi Chandu,1) Remove 220pF capacitor.2) Remove 2.2K resistor.3) Connect the pulser output to the transducer using a 50Ohm well shielded cable.4) Now observe the signal at input and output of the T/R...

Mariusz, thanks for answering the quesitons! i agree with you that TGC frequency is not a common term. Our AFE5808/9 datasheets use pulse repetition frequency (PRF) since it is a more common term in...

Hi Naftali,Are you using the LM96551 or the LM96550 pulser? If you are using the LM96551, the +/-40V is built it already. If you are using the LM96550, please use the power up sequence on page 10 of...

Damian,I believe it is possible to connect several channels in parallel. Is that what you are trying to do? Inputs shorted together and outputs shorted, as well? You can reduce Ron by doing so, but...

Hi Mariusz,If you look at Chandu's post on Dec. 18, he mentioned just when T/R switch is NOT connected to the output of the pulser, he saw no visible distortion. However, when he connect the T/R switch...
