Description for the AFE5805EVM
The AFE5805EVM provides a convenient platform to evaluate the AFE5805. The AFE5805 is a complete analog front-end device designed for ultrasound systems. It consists of eight-channels, including a low-noise amplifier (LNA), voltage controlled attenuator (VCA), programmable gain amplifier (PGA), low-pass filter (LPF), and a 12 bit, 50 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with LVDS data outputs.
Please note that the TSW1400EVM (obsoleted) is needed with the AFE5805EVM for evaluation. Do not purchase the AFE5805EVM unless you already have the TSW1400EVM.
