Targeting high-channel-count, cart-based, and portable ultrasound medical imaging applications, the 10-mm x 10-mm MAX2078 octal ultrasound front-end receiver IC from Maxim Integrated Products combines an active-input-termination LNA, VGA, anti-alias filter, and I/Q mixer CWD beam former in one device. With dynamic-range performance of less than 65 mW per channel, the device offers imaging using a BiCMOS process to provide large-signal SNR in all Doppler modes.
