MEDICAL ULTRASOUND TGC DRIVING THE 
AD9050, A 10-BIT, 40 MSPS ADC 
The AD604 is an ideal candidate for the time gain control (TGC) 
amplifier that is required in medical ultrasound systems to limit 
the dynamic range of the signal that is presented to the ADC. 
Figure 52 shows a schematic of an AD604 driving an 
in a typical medical ultrasound application. 
The gain is controlled by means of a digital byte that is input to 
an 
 DAC that outputs the analog gain control signal. 
The output common-mode voltage of the AD604 is set to VPOS/2 
by means of an internal voltage divider. The VOCM pin is 
bypassed with a 0.1 μF capacitor to ground. 
The DSX output is optionally filtered and then buffered by  
an 
 op amp, a low distortion, low noise amplifier. The 
op amp output is ac-coupled into the self-biasing input of an 
 ADC that is capable of outputting 10 bits at a 40 MSPS 
sampling rate.
