EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS

It is important to operate this EVM within the specified input and output ranges described in

the EVM User’s Guide. The input supply voltage (VS) should be no greater than 15 V for

dual supply or 30 V for single supply. The differential input signal (VID) should be no greater

than 3 V. The output current (IO) should be no greater than 150 mA.

Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible

damage to the EVM. If there are questions concerning the input range, please contact a TI

field representative prior to connecting the input power.

Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or

possible permanent damage to the EVM. Please consult the EVM User’s Guide prior to

connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification,

please contact a TI field representative.

During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than

60°C. The EVM is designed to operate properly with certain components above 60°C as long

as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components include but are not limited

to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These

types of devices can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User’s Guide.

When placing measurement probes near these devices during operation, please be aware

that these devices may be very warm to the touch.

Introduction and Description

The Texas Instruments THS3061 evaluation module (EVM) helps designers

evaluate the performance of the THS3061 operational amplifier. Also, this

EVM is a good example of high-speed PCB design.

This document details the THS3061EVM. It includes a list of EVM features, a

brief description of the module illustrated with a series of schematic diagrams,

EVM specifications, details on connecting and using the EVM, and a discus-

sion of high-speed amplifier design considerations.

This EVM enables the user to implement various circuits to clarify the available

configurations presented by the schematic of the EVM. The user is not limited

to the circuit configurations presented here. The EVM provides enough hard-

ware hooks that the only limitation should be the creativity of the user.

1.1 Evaluation Schematic

As delivered, the EVM has a fully functional example circuit—just add power

supplies, a signal source, and monitoring instrument. See Figure 1–1 for the

complete (default) EVM schematic showing all component locations. The user

can change the gain by changing the ratios of the feedback and gain resistors

(see the device data sheet for recommended resistor values).

The default configuration is designed to provide for a voltage gain of –1 and

about +2 depending on which input is connected to the signal source. This volt-

age gain is the ratio of the voltage at the output pin of the amplifier (pin 6) to

the voltage at the input at J1 or J2 respectively.

For optimum frequency response and stability at either –1 or +2 gain, a 562-Ω

feedback resistor was chosen for R5. The same value is set for R3 to provide

a gain in the inverting configuration of –1. To match the signal generator source

impedance, R2 is set to 54.9 Ω. This is the closest value, when placed in paral-

lel with R3 (562 Ω) that terminates the inverting input to 50 Ω).

Output series resistor R6 is set to 49.9Ω. This value terminates the output cor-

rectly for connection to a 50-Ωinput device, as shown in the applications de-

scribed in Chapter 3. Setting R7 to 953 Ω loads the amplifier at about 1 kΩ, to

match a high-impedance instrument connected to the output connector J4.

Chapter 1

Evaluation Schematic

1-2

When used as an inverting amplifier in the default configuration connected to

a 50-Ωinput measurement instrument, R7 causes a slight gain error. The total

voltage gain is the negative ratio of the feedback resistor R5 and the gain

resistor R3, times the voltage divider created by R6-R7, and the measurement

device input termination resistance. This gain follows the equation:

VI+–R5

R3 ǒR7 ø50 W

R7 ø50 W)R6Ǔ+–0.475 (1)

When using the default configuration, the noninverting gain of the amplifier is

affected by the same slight gain error, plus the gain error imposed by the invert-

ing input termination resistor R2. The following equation shows the gain for this

situation.

R3 )R2ǓǒR7 ø50 W

R7 ø50 W)R6Ǔ+0.908 (2)

Some components such as C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, TP1, J5, J6, and J7 are

omitted on the application schematics of Chapter 3 for clarity.

Using the THS3061 EVM

This section shows how to connect the THS3061EVM to test equipment. It is

recommended that the user connect the EVM as shown in this section to avoid

damage to the EVM or the THS3061 installed on the board.

Figure 2-1.THS3061EVM Interconnection Diagram

Figure 2-1 shows the connections to measure the output while a signal is in-

serted into EVM’s noninverting input. For an inverting signal path, the signal

source can be connected to J1 instead.
