EVM. The schematics and the bill of materials indicate any differences associated with the two packages. This document details the THS6132EVM. 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 discussion of high-speed amplifier design considerations.
Evaluation Module Features 1.1 Evaluation Module Features The THS6132EVM provides a platform for developing high-speed operational amplifier application circuits. It contains the THS6132 high-speed dual operational amplifier, a number of passive components, and various features and footprints that enable the user to experiment with, test, and verify various operational amplifier circuit implementations.

Chapter 2 Using the THS6132EVM This section describes how to connect the THS6132EVM to test equipment. It is recommended that the user connect the EVM as described in this section to avoid damage to the EVM or the THS6132 installed on the board.

Figure 2-1 shows the connections to measure the output signal of output 1 while a single-ended signal is inserted into EVM channel 1’s noninverting input. If the oscilloscope input is connected to J3 and the signal source is connected to J2, EVM channel 2 is also configured for a noninverting signal path.
Chapter 3 THS6132EVM Applications Example applications are presented in this chapter. These applications demonstrate the most popular circuits, but many other circuits can be constructed. The user is encouraged to experiment with different circuits, exploring new and creative design techniques.
Standard Gain Configuration 3.1 Standard Gain Configuration The THS6132EVM default configuration is a fully differential input, fully differential output gain of about 2.2 (at the output connectors using an instrument with 50-Ω load on each input). A simplified schematic is shown in Figure 3-1.

The reader is cautioned that active termination is a very complex topic, with many considerations. Carefully read the Texas Instruments Application Report Active Output Impedance for ADSL Line Drivers, (SLOA100) to gain a more complete understanding of the topic and all the subtle implications of active termination.

As a rule of thumb, to select the proper snubber values, select: LINE R19 + 2 Then select C5: C1 + where F = at least 10X the highest operating frequency (1.104 MHz is the highest ADSL operating frequency). 20X or even larger may be preferable. THS6132EVM Applications...
The user should know their nominal line impedance characteristics and thus should be able to match them better. Texas Instruments does have an EVM that contains a THS6062 ADSL receiver, and this EVM can be purchased separately to facilitate construction of a complete ADSL transmit/receive interface.
This helps (but does not assure) the signals are truly differential. Figure 3-4 compares the frequency spectrum of ADSL to a simulation of the high-pass filter on the THS6132EVM. Figure 3-4. ADSL Spectrum and High-Pass Filter Response (Above not on a logarithmic scale) Note that the high-pass filter function is not a true high-pass filter.
Single-Ended to Differential Conversion 3.5 Single-Ended to Differential Conversion The circuit shown in Figure 3-1 is used for single-ended to differential conversion by grounding one input and supplying a single-ended signal to the other input. Because one amplifier is configured as a noninverting amplifier and the other as an inverting circuit, the gain of the noninverting channel is one greater than the other.
