1-2 Introduction and Description

1.1 Description

ThisEVMismadeoftheTHS4121high-speedoperationalamplifier,anumber

of passive components, and various features and component footprints that

enable the user to experiment and verify various operational amplifier circuit

configurations. Initially, this board is populated for a single-ended

input/differential-output amplifier (see Figure 1-2 for populated circuits). The

outputs(VO+ andVO–) canbe tested differentiallyorsingleended. Gainisset

to one and can be changed by changing the ratios of the feedback and gain

resistors (see the device datasheet for recommended resistor values). Each

input is terminated with a 50-Ωresistor to provide correct line-impedance

matching.

This EVM is optimized to work with ±1.65 power supplies. If the user tests the

deviceinasinglesupplymode(VDD=3.3V),thenthepropergroundingshould

be applied. The VOCM voltage level would be set at the mid rail (1.65-V when

VDD = 3.3 V). In general, the mid rail is the optimal area of the operation for

amplifiers. Therefore, if the device is operating at VDD = 3.3 V, it is

recommended that a dc offset be added to the input signal to shift it to the mid

rail.Havingtheinputsignalcenteredatthemidrailreducesthepeakingeffect.

RPU resistors in this EVM work as input signal level shifters. Therefore, they

canbe used toshift theinput signal level.To calculatethe RPU valuesuse the

following equation.

V(p) = V(pullup), RPU = R pullup (see EVM schematic)

RPU +V(p)*VDD

Ă(VI*V(P)) 1

Rg)(VO*V(p)) 1

The above equation is a good estimation tool for RPU. The user should

considerthe component error contribution tothe system. As a result,the RPU

number generated by the above equation could be changed slightly to

compensate for the error to provide the optimal result.

to GND. Consideration should be given to this current flow which will increase

the IDD.
