AFE5818ZBV

Analog Front End (AFE) Overview

The AFE5818ZBV is a 16-channel ultrasound analog front end (AFE) manufactured by Texas Instruments. It integrates low-noise amplifiers, variable gain amplifiers, and analog-to-digital converters designed for medical imaging applications. The device supports high-speed data output via LVDS and JESD204B interfaces. It operates with a single 5 V supply voltage. The component is housed in a NFBGA-289 package suitable for surface mount technology.
