The AFE0256 is a 256-channel analog front-end (AFE) designed to suit the requirements of
flat-panel detector (FPD)-based digital x-ray systems. The device includes 256 integrators, a
programmable gain amplifier (PGA) for full-scale charge level selection, a correlated double
sampler (CDS) with dual banking, 256:4 analog multiplexers, and four differential output
drivers.
The device also features four 14-bit successive-approximation register (SAR)
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) on board. Serial data from the ADCs are available in
SPI format.
Hardware-selectable integration polarity allows positive or negative charge integration
and provides more flexibility in system design. The Nap feature enables substantial power saving
that is especially useful in battery-powered systems.
The AFE0256 is available as a 22-mm × 5-mm singulated format with known good gold-bump
dies.
