Product details
Overview
AD9271BSVZ-50 from Analog Devices is an octal-channel ultrasound analog front-end (AFE) IC integrating LNA, VGA, 3rd-order programmable antialiasing filter (AAF), and 12-bit ADC with LVDS serial output. It delivers 1.1 nV/√Hz input-referred LNA noise at 5 MHz, −6 dB to +24 dB linear-in-dB VGA gain, 8–18 MHz AAF cutoff, and 70 dB SNR at 50 MSPS for medical imaging beamforming.
For engineers reviewing the AD9271BSVZ-50 datasheet, AD9271BSVZ-50 pinout, AD9271BSVZ-50 application, or AD9271BSVZ-50 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, channel-level specifications, TQFP-100 pin mapping, real-world ultrasound and radar use cases, and validated alternative parts for transducer interface design.
Technical Context
The AD9271BSVZ-50 implements eight fully independent signal chains, each with single-ended-to-differential LNA (14/15.6/18 dB gain), digitally programmable VGA (−6 dB to +24 dB), 3rd-order Butterworth AAF (8–18 MHz cutoff), and 12-bit ADC (10–50 MSPS). All channels share a common SPI interface for gain, filter, and mode control.
It supports dual operational modes: time-gain compensation (TGC) with full LNA/VGA/AAF/ADC path active at 150 mW/channel, and CW Doppler mode where only LNA and crosspoint switch operate at 90 mW/channel, with dedicated 3.3 V CWVDD supply and six differential CWD outputs per channel.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ADC Resolution | 12 bits - enables high dynamic range digitization of weak echo signals in ultrasound systems. |
| Max Sample Rate | 50 MSPS - supports ≥20 MHz ultrasound bandwidth with Nyquist-compliant sampling. |
| LNA Input Noise | 1.1 nV/√Hz @ 5 MHz - critical for preserving SNR when amplifying low-amplitude transducer returns. |
| VGA Gain Range | −6 dB to +24 dB - provides 30 dB TGC dynamic range to compensate for depth-dependent signal attenuation. |
| AAF Cutoff | Programmable 8–18 MHz - matches transducer center frequency and suppresses aliasing without over-filtering. |
| Output Interface | LVDS serial (ANSI-644) - reduces EMI and enables high-speed data transmission over PCB traces or cables. |
| Power per Channel | 150 mW @ 40 MSPS (TGC), 90 mW (CW Doppler) - enables portable and battery-powered ultrasound systems. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and medical-grade embedded environments. |
Pinout & Package
AD9271BSVZ-50 is housed in a RoHS-compliant 100-lead TQFP (16 mm × 16 mm) with exposed thermal paddle. Pin 0 is the exposed ground paddle; Pin 1 is top-left corner indicator. All AVDD pins (16 total) must be decoupled locally; CWVDD (Pin 84) requires separate 3.3 V regulation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LI-A to LI-H | LNA Analog Input (x8) | Single-ended transducer return inputs; each has 15 kΩ input impedance and 15 pF capacitance. |

| DOUTA+ to DOUTH− | LVDS ADC Data Output (x8 channels × 2) | 12-bit serial stream at DDR LVDS; DCO± and FCO± provide synchronous capture timing. |
| CWD0+ to CWD5− | CW Doppler Crosspoint Outputs (6 differential pairs) | Enable multichannel Doppler mixing; require 3.3 V bias (CWVDD) and external op-amp summation. |
| GAIN+, GAIN− | Differential VGA Control Inputs | Accept 0–1 V true/complement voltage; 31.6 dB/V scale factor enables precise linear-in-dB gain setting. |
| CLK+, CLK− | Differential Sample Clock Input | Accepts LVPECL/LVDS/CMOS; internal clock multiplier generates LVDS bit clock up to 300 MHz. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Does the AD9271BSVZ-50 include an integrated antialiasing filter?
Yes, the AD9271BSVZ-50 integrates a 3rd-order Butterworth antialiasing filter (AAF) between the VGA and ADC stages. Its cutoff frequency is programmable from 8 MHz to 18 MHz via SPI, and it exhibits ±15% bandwidth tolerance and ±2 ns group delay variation across the passband-enabling precise matching to transducer center frequencies without external components.
How many channels does the AD9271BSVZ-50 support, and what is its per-channel power consumption?
The AD9271BSVZ-50 supports eight fully independent analog signal channels. In time-gain compensation (TGC) mode at 40 MSPS, it consumes 150 mW per channel; in CW Doppler mode, power drops to 90 mW per channel. Total full-channel dissipation is 1.494 W (typical) at 50 MSPS, supplied by 1.8 V AVDD/DRVDD and 3.3 V CWVDD rails.
What package type and pin count does the AD9271BSVZ-50 use?
The AD9271BSVZ-50 is packaged in a 100-lead TQFP (16 mm × 16 mm) with exposed thermal paddle (Pin 0). This RoHS-compliant package is specified over −40°C to +85°C and features 16 dedicated AVDD pins, dual supply domains (1.8 V and 3.3 V), and pin-compatible routing for all eight channels' LNA inputs, VGA outputs, and LVDS data streams.
