Introduction and Description

1.1 Description

The THS4150 EVM is a good example of PCB design and layout for

high-speed operational amplifier applications. It is a complete circuit for the

high-speed operational amplifier. The EVM is made of the THS4150

high-speed operational amplifier, a number of passive components, and

various features and footprints that enable the user to experiment, test, and

verify various operational amplifier circuit implementations. The board

measures 4.5 inches in length by 2.5 inches in width. Initially, this board is

populated for a single-ended input amplifier (see Figure 1-2 for populated

circuits). The outputs (VO+ and VO–) can be tested differentially or single

ended. Gain is set to one and can be changed by changing the ratios of the

feedback and gain resistors (see the device datasheet for recommended

resistor values). The user may populate various footprints on the evaluation

moduleboard to verifyfilter designsor perform other experiments. Eachinput

isterminatedwitha50-Ωresistorto provide correctline-impedancematching.

1.2 Evaluation Module Features

THS4150 high-speed operational amplifier EVM features include:

Voltage supply operation range: 5-V to ±15-V operation (see the

device data sheet)

Single and differential input and output capability

Nominal 50-Ωinput and output termination resistors. They can be

configured according to the application requirement.

VOCM direct input control (see schematic and the device data sheet)

VOCM pin can be controlled via transformer center-tap (see

schematic)

Shutdown pin control, JU1 (if applicable to the device, see the device

data sheet)

Input and output transformer footprints for changing single-ended

signals to differential signals

Footprint for high-precision, balanced feedback and gain resistors

(0.01% or better)

Footprints for low-pass filter implementation (see application note

SLOA054A)

Footprints for antialiasing filter implementation (see application note

SLOA054A)

Differential probe terminals on input and output nodes for differential

probe insertion
