Introduction and Description
1.1 Description
The THS4130 EVM is a good example of PCB design and layout for
high-speed operational amplifier applications. It is a complete circuit for the
high-speed operational amplifier. The EVM is made of the THS4130
high-speed operational amplifier, a number of passive components, and
various features and footprints that enable the user to experiment, test, and
verify various operational amplifier circuit implementations. The board
measures 4.5 inches in length by 2.5 inches in width.
Initially, this board is
populated for a single-ended input amplifier (see Figure 1-2 for populated
circuits). The outputs (V
O+
and V
O–
) can be tested differentially or single
ended. Gain is set to one and can be changed by changing the ratios of the
feedback and gain resistors (see the device datasheet for recommended
resistor values). The user may populate various footprints on the evaluation
module board to verify filter designs or perform other experiments. Each input
is terminated with a 50- resistor to provide correct line-impedance matching.
