MAX2077CTK+T

Overview

The MAX2077CTK+T is an octal-channel ultrasound front-end integrated circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. Designed for medical ultrasound imaging and sonar applications, this RF front end integrates eight receive channels within a single package. The component utilizes a 68-TQFN (10x10 mm) surface-mount package with an exposed pad for thermal management. It operates as a specialized ultrasound receiver IC, providing the necessary signal conditioning for piezoelectric transducer arrays in diagnostic imaging systems.

Feature Summary

• Integrates eight independent receive channels for simultaneous signal acquisition
• Optimized specifically for medical ultrasound imaging and sonar array applications
• Utilizes a compact 68-pin TQFN package with exposed thermal pad design

Applications

• Medical ultrasound imaging systems
• Diagnostic sonar equipment
• Multi-channel transducer array interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer, as supply constraints may apply. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring high channel density for ultrasound beamforming. Evaluate the trade-off between the integrated solution's board space savings and the specific gain and noise figure requirements of the target transducer array. Ensure the system architecture supports the interface protocols defined in the official datasheet.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Maxim Integrated ultrasound front-end product family, which focuses on miniaturizing complex analog signal chains. It replaces discrete amplifier and filter solutions, reducing component count and improving reliability in portable and handheld medical imaging devices. The part represents a shift toward highly integrated mixed-signal solutions for acoustic sensing.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference documentation for verified substitutes. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment if considering alternative manufacturers.
