Shares of Texas Instruments Incorporated (NASDAQ:TXN), inclined 0.40% to $57.63, during its last trading session.
Health care diagnostic imaging devices, from customary prenatal care to advanced cardiac imaging equipment, are increasingly predictable to provide more precise images, while also becoming more portable. To meet these demands, Texas Instruments (TI) (TXN), introduced the AFE5818 and AFE5816 families, the industry’s first 16-channel ultrasound analog front ends (AFEs). The new AFEs integrate a range of features to maximize image quality and performance while minimizing power consumption and system cost.
To optimize system efficiency, these families offer multiple versions with and without a demodulation block and JESD204B interface option, which further simplifies board layout and provides cost savings. The new families also offer industry-leading low power consumption for the noise performance achieved, enabling portable solutions that offer better imaging performance without negatively impacting the power budget.
Key features and benefits of the AFE5818 and AFE5816 families
- Highest integration: The AFE5818 and AFE5816 families are the industry’s first 16-channel simultaneously sampling AFEs, enabling system-level optimization.
- Minimal power consumption: The AFE5818 and AFE5816 offer power consumption as low as 94 mW and 52 mW per channel, respectively — 33 percent better per channel than the competition.
- JESD204B interface: The AFE58JD18 and AFE58JD16 comprise a 5-Gbps JESD204B serial interface, reducing ultrasound system data I/O routing by as much as 80 percent contrast to other data interface standards and enabling a data rate of up to 6.4 Gbps. This standard interface creates a seamless connection to high-performance processors such as TI’s 66AK2L06 multicore processor.
- Digital time gain compensation (DTGC): The AFE58JD16 and AFE5816 comprise a DTGC engine with 0.125-dB resolution, which reduces noise and power consumption. DTGC also reduces the need for external components, contrast to traditional analog time gain compensation.
- Digital demodulator: The AFE58JD18 and AFE58JD16 also feature an on-chip digital demodulator, which conditions 16 channels of data from RF to a baseband frequency. This reduces the load on the system processing engine to enable lower latency and higher image quality.
Texas Instruments Incorporated designs, manufactures, and sells semiconductors to electronics designers and manufacturers worldwide. It operates through two segments, Analog and Embedded Processing. The Analog segment offers high volume analog and logic products for automotive safety devices, touch screen controllers, low voltage motor drivers, and integrated motor controllers; and power administration products to enhance the efficiency of powered devices using battery administration solutions, portable power conversion devices, power supply controls, and point-of-load products.
