VCA5807 Development Guide
This development guide describes the characteristics, operation and use of the VCA5807EVM
demonstration kit. This demonstration kit is an evaluation module for the VCA5807 device. The VCA5807
is an integrated Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) that integrates a complete time-gain-control (TGC)
imaging path and a continuous wave Doppler (CWD) path. The VCA5807 is intended for prototyping and
evaluation. This user's guide includes a complete circuit description, schematic diagram, and bill of
materials (BOM).
