It is recommended that the user initially review the data sheet of the device un- der test. It is helpful to review the schematic and layout of the THS6043EVM to determine the design techniques used in the evaluation board. The design of the high-speed amplifier PCB is a sensitive process. The user must approach high speed PCB design with care and awareness.

Chapter 2 Using the THS6043EVM This section describes how to connect the THS6043EVM 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 THS6043 installed on the board.
Test Equipment Required 2.1 Test Equipment Required Dual dc output power supply (± 15 V, 200 mA output minimum) Two dc current meters with resolution to 1 mA and capable of the maximum current supplied by the dc power source. Note: Some power supplies incorporate current meters which may be applicable to this test.

Chapter 3 THS6043EVM Applications Example applications are presented in this chapter. These applications demonstrate the most popular circuits to the user, but many other circuits can be constructed. The user is encouraged to experiment with different circuits, exploring new and creative design techniques. That, after all, is the function of an evaluation board.
Standard Gain Configuration 3.1 Standard Gain Configuration The THS6043EVM default configuration is a fully differential input, fully differential output gain stage as shown in Figure 3−1. This gain is calculated according an equation that is similar to the one that describes an...
Single Supply Operation 3.2 Single Supply Operation Many designs use single supply voltages, and the THS6043EVM allows single supply operation. The THS6043EVM can be reconfigured for single supply operation as shown in Figure 3−2. To convert to single supply operation: Connect ground from the power supply to both J5 (GND) and J4 (−V...
Active Termination 3.3 Active Termination Active termination is a technique that allows the designer to use a small value resistor for the series resistance (R17 or R18). The circuit then uses positive feedback to make the impedance of this resistor appear much larger, when looking from the line side.

Where n is the turn ratio of the transformer. 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 of the subtle implications of active termination.

ADSL is full duplex. The hybrid cancels out the TX signal and allows the RX signal from the line to come through. The THS6043EVM does not include receive or hybrid circuitry. Texas Instruments assumes that customers prefer to implement their own propriety hybrid design.
This helps (but does not assure) that the signals are truly differential. Figure 3−6 compares the frequency spectrum of ADSL to a simulation of the high-pass filter on the THS6043EVM. Figure 3−6.

Noninverting Single-Ended Gain Stages 3.7 Noninverting Single-Ended Gain Stages Although ADSL is the obvious application for the THS6043EVM, it can also be configured for other applications.There are component locations on the EVM that allow various dc- and ac-coupled gain stages to be constructed.
Independent Single-Ended Inverting Gain Stages 3.8 Independent Single-Ended Inverting Gain Stages Two independent inverting gain stages can be created by: Removing R7, R23, R24, and C3 Adding zero Ω jumpers at R4 and R14 Jumper pins 1 and 2 of JP1 Adding gain resistors (Rg) at R3 and R15.
Normal operation is restored for voltages below 0.8 V on the shutdown (SD) input. When no jumper is installed in position JP2, the SD input is pulled to ground through R26. When a jumper is installed in position JP2, a voltage THS6043EVM Applications 3-11...
Shutdown Operation (Channels 1 and 2) divider is formed by R26 and R27, taking the SD input to +V/2, which disables the outputs of the EVM. Please note that due to the low-value input and feedback resistors, some signal leaks from the inputs to the outputs of the EVM.
Chapter 4 High Speed Amplifier PCB Layout Tips The THS6043EVM layout has been designed for use with high-speed signals and can be used as an example when designing PCBs incorporating the THS6043. Careful attention has been given to component selection, grounding, power supply bypassing, and signal path layout.

The printed-circuit board that is 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. This area is called the thermal land. The thermal land varies in size depending on the PowerPAD package being used, the PCB construction, and the amount of heat that needs to be removed.
