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.

    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...
  • Page 22: Active Termination

    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.

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.

  • Page 25: Receive Path Implementation

    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.

    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...
  • Page 30: Shutdown Operation

    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.
  • Page 32 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.
