Page 12: Description
Description 1.1 Description The THS4500 EVM provides a platform for developing high-speed FDA application circuits. It contains the THS4500 high-speed FDA, a number of passive components, and various features and footprints that enable the user to experiment, test, and verify various operational amplifier circuit implementations. -
Page 13: Evm Default Configuration
EVM Default Configuration 1.4 EVM Default Configuration 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 default schematic diagram. 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). - Page 15 Chapter 2 Using the THS4500EVM This section describes how to connect the THS4500EVM 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 THS4500 installed on the board.

Function Generator Setup 2.3 Function Generator Setup Note: The oscilloscope channels (CH1 and CH2) must be set to 50-Ω input imped- ance for proper results. 1) Connect the function generator to oscilloscope channel 1. 2) Set vertical channels 1 and 2 of the oscilloscope to 0.2 V/division and the time base to 0.1 µs/division. -
Page 19: Ths4500Evm Applications
Chapter 3 THS4500EVM Applications Example applications will be presented in this chapter. These applications are meant to demonstrate the most popular circuits to the user, but many other cir- cuits can be constructed. The user is encouraged to experiment with different circuits, exploring new and creative design techniques. -
Page 20: Single-Ended In/Single-Ended Out, Utilizing Transformer
3.1 Single-Ended In/Single-Ended Out, Utilizing Transformer The fully differential amp output can be monitored by a single-ended instrument at J4. The THS4500EVM utilizes Mini-Circuits CD542 footprint transformers to make the fully differential-to-single-ended conversion. An ADP4−1WT transformer is installed on the board. -

Page 23: High-Speed Amplifier Pcb Layout Tips
Chapter 4 High Speed Amplifier PCB Layout Tips The THS4500EVM layout has been designed for use with high-speed signals and can be used as an example when designing PCBs incorporating the THS4500. Careful attention has been given to component selection, grounding, power supply bypassing, and signal path layout. - Page 24 Circuit pathways should be made as symmetrical as possible for both feedback pathways to minimize second and other even harmonic content. The printed-circuit board that is be used with PowerPAD packages must have features included in the design to remove the heat from the package efficiently. As a minimum, there must be an area of solder-tinned-copper underneath the PowerPAD package.
