  • Page 11 Description The THS7002 EVM is equipped with a separate BNC input connector for each of the two channels on the module. Each input is terminated with a 50- resistor to provide correct line impedance matching (Figure 1–3). Note that using a source with a 50- output impedance will create a voltage divider at the EVM inputs.
  • Page 12 Description The shutdown feature of the THS7002 IC is implemented on this EVM. There is a separate shutdown pin for each half of the THS7002 IC. The shutdown signals are low for normal THS7002 operation. When a shutdown pin is high (5 V), the corresponding preamplifier and PGA section is turned off.

    Programmable Gain Amplifier Gain Control 1.3 Programmable Gain Amplifier Gain Control Each channel of the THS7002 IC is provided with three digital control inputs for setting the gain of the PGA stage (AG0 – AG2 and BG0 – BG2). Standard TTL or CMOS Logic signals operate these control inputs.

    EVM DIP Switch Functionality 1.4 EVM DIP Switch Functionality The THS7002 can be fully evaluated without any external digital control signals applied. This is accomplished through the use of two banks of DIP switches. Each DIP switch bank incorporates six SPST switches labeled A through F.
  • Page 16: Evm Circuit Configuration

    EVM Circuit Configuration 1.5 EVM Circuit Configuration The THS7002 EVM design allows evaluation of each section of the THS7002 amplifier IC separately as well as a differential system. Configuration of the EVM is accomplished through jumpers mounted on the module PCB. Each jumper is a three-pin header that acts as an SPDT switch when a shunt is placed across two of the three pins to select either of two signal routes (Figure 1–5).

  • Page 18: Using The Ths7002 Evm

    Using the THS7002 EVM 1.6 Using the THS7002 EVM The THS7002 EVM operates from a split power supply with voltages ranging from 5 V to 15 V. It also uses 5 volt logic control signals to configure the operation of the EVM when the DIP switches are used. The use of a single supply for this EVM is not recommended.

    THS7002 EVM Performance 1.7 THS7002 EVM Performance Figure 1–6 shows the typical frequency response and Figure 1–7 shows the typical phase response of the THS7002 EVM preamplifiers. Typical –3 dB bandwidth with a 15-V power supply is 100 MHz for the preamplifier in each channel and 90 MHz with a 5-V power supply.

    THS7002 EVM Performance Figure 1–10 shows the typical frequency response and Figure 1–11 shows the typical phase response of the THS7002 EVM preamplifiers + PGAs. This data was collected with the preamplifiers directly driving the PGA inputs. The PGA was set to a gain of +2 dB. Typical – 3 dB bandwidth is 65 MHz with a 5-V power supply and 70 MHz with a 15-V power supply.

    General High-Speed Amplifier Design Considerations 1.8 General High-Speed Amplifier Design Considerations The THS7002 EVM layout has been designed and optimized for use with high-speed signals and can be used as an example when designing THS7002 applications. Careful attention has been given to component selection, grounding, power supply bypassing, and signal path layout.
  • Page 23: General Powerpad Design Considerations

    General PowerPAD Design Considerations 1.9 General PowerPAD Design Considerations The THS7002 IC is mounted in a special package incorporating a thermal pad that transfers heat from the IC die directly to the PCB. The PowerPAD package is constructed using a downset leadframe. The die is mounted on the leadframe but is electrically isolated from it.
  • Page 24: Maximum Power Dissipation Vs Free-Air Temperature

    General PowerPAD Design Considerations 6) The top-side solder mask should leave exposed the terminals of the package and the thermal pad area with its holes. Any larger holes outside the thermal pad area, but still under the package, should be covered with solder mask.
  • Page 25: General Powerpad Design Considerations

    General PowerPAD Design Considerations Even though the THS7002 EVM PCB is different than the one in the example above, the results should give an idea of how much power can be dissipated by the PowerPAD IC package. The THS7002 EVM is a good example of proper thermal management when using PowerPAD-mounted devices.
