Description
1.2 Description
The TI THS4052 dual high-speed operational amplifier evaluation module (EVM) is a complete dual high-speed amplifier circuit. It consists of the TI THS4052 dual low-noise high-speed operational amplifier IC, along with a small number of passive parts, mounted on a small circuit board measuring approximately 1.9 inch by 2.2 inch (Figure 1-1). The EVM uses standard SMA miniature RF connectors for inputs and outputs and is completely assembled, tested, and ready to use -- just connect it to power, a signal source, and a load (if desired).

Note: The EVM is shipped with the following component locations empty: C3, C6, R2, R4, R8, R10, R12
Although the THS4052 EVM is shipped with components installed for dual-channel single-ended noninverting operation, it can also be configured for single-channel differential and/or inverting operation by moving components. Noninverting gain is set to 2 with the installed components. The input of each channel is terminated with a 50- impedance to provide correct line impedance matching. The amplifier IC outputs are routed through 50- resistors, both to provide correct line impedance matching and to help isolate capacitive loading on the outputs of the amplifier. Capacitive loading directly on the output of the IC decreases the amplifier's phase margin and can result in peaking or oscillations.

The gain of the EVM can easily be changed to support a particular application by simply changing the ratio of resistors R6 and R5 (channel 1) and R14 and R13 (channel 2) as described in the following equation: Noninverting Gain R + 1 ) R + 1 ) R6 and 1 ) R14 R13 R5

THS4052 EVM Noninverting Operation
Any of the resistors on the EVM board can be replaced with a resistor of a different value; however, care must be taken because the surface-mount solder pads on the board are somewhat fragile and will not survive many desoldering/soldering operations. Note that external factors can significantly affect the effective gain of the EVM. For example, connecting test equipment with 50- input impedance to the EVM output will divide the output signal level by a factor of 2 (assuming the output isolation resistor on the EVM board remains 50 ). Similar effects can occur at the input, depending upon how the input signal sources are configured. The gain equations given above assume no signal loss in either the input or the output. Frequency compensation capacitors C3 and C6 may need to be installed to improve stability at lower gains. The appropriate value depends on the particular application. The EVM circuit board is an excellent example of proper board layout for high-speed amplifier designs and can be used as a guide for user application board layouts.

Using the THS4052 EVM in the Noninverting Mode
1.4 Using the THS4052 EVM in the Noninverting Mode
The THS4052 EVM operates from power-supply voltages ranging from 5 V to 15 V. As shipped, the EVM is configured for inverting operation and the gain is set to 4. Signal inputs on the module are terminated for 50- nominal source impedance. An oscilloscope is typically used to view and analyze the EVM output signal. 1) Ensure that all power supplies are set to OFF before making power supply connections to the THS4052 EVM. 2) Connect the power supply ground to the module terminal block (J2) location marked GND. 3) Select the operating voltage for the EVM and connect appropriate split power supplies to the module terminal block (J2) locations marked -VCC and +VCC. 4) Connect an oscilloscope to the module SMA output connector (J3/J5) through a 50- nominal impedance cable (an oscilloscope having a 50- input termination is preferred for examining very high frequency signals). 5) Set the power supply to ON. 6) Connect the signal input to the module SMA input connector (J1/J4). Note that each EVM input connector is terminated with a 50- impedance to ground. With a 50- source impedance, the voltage seen by the THS4052 amplifier IC on the module will be the source signal voltage applied to the EVM. This is due to the voltage division between the source impedance and the EVM input terminating resistors (R1, R9).

7) Verify the output signal on the oscilloscope. Note that the signal shown on an oscilloscope with a 50- input impedance will be the actual THS4052 amplifier IC output voltage. This is due to the voltage division between the output resistor (R7, R15) and the oscilloscope input impedance.

1.5 THS4052 EVM Inverting Operation
Although the THS4052 EVM is shipped preconfigured for dual-channel noninverting operation, it can be reconfigured for inverting operation by making the following component changes: 1) Move resistor R3 to the R2 location and R5 to the R4 location on the board. 2) Move resistor R11 to the R10 location and R13 to the R12 location on the board. This configuration is shown in figure 1-3. Note that compensation capacitors C3 and C6 are not installed.

THS4052 EVM Inverting Operation
The gain of the EVM can easily be changed to support a particular application by simply changing the ratio of resistors R6 and R4 (channel 1) and R14 and R12 (channel 2) as described in the following equation: Inverting Gain R6 R14 + * R + *R4 and *R12 R
F G
In addition, some applications, such as those for video, may require the use of 75- cable and 75- EVM input termination and output isolation resistors. Because the noninverting terminals are at ground potential, the inverting terminal becomes a virtual ground and is held to 0 V. This causes the input impedance to ground at the input terminal to look like two resistors in parallel (R1 and R4 for channel 1, and R9 and R12 for channel 2). As a result, if the source termination is changed, R1 and R9 must be adjusted in accordance with the following equations:

The THS4052 EVM operates from power-supply voltages ranging from 5 V to 15 V. As shipped, the EVM is configured for inverting operation. Move the resistors as detailed above to configure the EVM for noninverting operation, which sets the gain to -3. Signal inputs on the module are terminated for 50- nominal source impedance. An oscilloscope is typically used to view and analyze the EVM output signal. 1) Ensure that all power supplies are set to OFF before making power supply connections to the THS4052 EVM. 2) Connect the power supply ground to the module terminal block (J2) location marked GND. 3) Select the operating voltage for the EVM and connect appropriate split power supplies to the module terminal block (J2) locations marked -VCC and +VCC. 4) Connect an oscilloscope to the module SMA output connector (J3/J5) through a 50- nominal impedance cable (an oscilloscope having a 50- input termination is preferred for examining very high frequency signals). 5) Set the power supply to ON. 6) Connect the signal input to the module SMA input connector (J1/J2). Note that each EVM input connector is terminated with an equivalent 50- impedance to ground. With a 50- source impedance, the voltage seen by the THS4052 amplifier IC on the module will be the source signal voltage applied to the EVM. This is due to the voltage division between the source impedance and the EVM input terminating resistors (R1 || R4 and R9 || R12).

Differential Input, Noninverting Operation
Configure the THS4052 EVM for differential noninverting operation by removing two resistors and adding a resistor on the board: 1) Remove resistors R1 and R9. 2) Add a 100- resistor to the R8 location on the board. This configuration (noninverting) is shown in figure 1-4. For a noninverting differential input, R8 should be 100 to match 50- source impedances. Note that compensation capacitors C3 and C6 are not installed.

An oscilloscope is typically used to view and analyze the EVM output signal. 1) Ensure that all power supplies are set to OFF before making power supply connections to the THS4052 EVM. 2) Connect the power supply ground to the module terminal block (J2) location marked GND. 3) Select the operating voltage for the EVM and connect appropriate split power supplies to the module terminal block (J2) locations marked -VCC and +VCC. 4) Connect an oscilloscope across the module SMA output connectors (J3 and J5) through a 50- nominal impedance cable (an oscilloscope having a 50- input termination is preferred for examining very high frequency signals). 5) Set the power supply to ON. 6) Connect the differential signal input across the module SMA input connectors (J1 and J4) Note that the differential EVM input is terminated with an equivalent 50- impedance for each input. With a 50- source impedance, the voltage seen by the THS4052 amplifier IC on the module will be the source signal voltage applied to the EVM. This is due to the voltage division between the source impedance and the EVM equivalent input resistance.

7) Verify the differential output signal on the oscilloscope. Note that the signal shown on an oscilloscope with a 50- input impedance will be the actual THS4052 amplifier IC output voltage. This is due to the voltage division between the output resistors (R7, R15) and the oscilloscope input impedance.

General High-Speed Amplifier Design Considerations
1.11 General High-Speed Amplifier Design Considerations
The THS4052 EVM layout has been designed and optimized for use with high-speed signals and can be used as an example when designing THS4052 applications. Careful attention has been given to component selection, grounding, power supply bypassing, and signal path layout. Disregard of these basic design considerations could result in less than optimum performance of the THS4052 high-speed, low-power operational amplifier. Surface-mount components were selected because of the extremely low lead inductance associated with this technology. Also, because surface-mount components are physically small, the layout can be very compact. This helps minimize both stray inductance and capacitance. Tantalum power supply bypass capacitors (C1 and C2) at the power input pads help supply currents for rapid, large signal changes at the amplifier output. The 0.1 F power supply bypass capacitors (C4 and C5) were placed as close as possible to the IC power input pins in order to keep the PCB trace inductance to a minimum. This improves high-frequency bypassing and reduces harmonic distortion. A proper ground plane on both sides of the PCB should always be used with high-speed circuit design. This provides low-inductive ground connections for return current paths. In the area of the amplifier IC input pins, however, the ground plane was removed to minimize stray capacitance and reduce ground plane noise coupling into these pins. This is especially important for the inverting pin while the amplifier is operating in the noninverting mode. Because the voltage at this pin swings directly with the noninverting input voltage, any stray capacitance would allow currents to flow into the ground plane, causing possible gain error and/or oscillation. Capacitance variations at the amplifier IC input pin of less than 1 pF can significantly affect the response of the amplifier. In general, it is always best to keep signal lines as short and as straight as possible. Round corners or a series of 45_ bends should be used instead of sharp 90_ corners. Stripline techniques should also be incorporated when signal lines are greater than 1 inch in length. These traces should be designed with a characteristic impedance of either 50 or 75 , as required by the application. Such signal lines should also be properly terminated with an appropriate resistor. Finally, proper termination of all inputs and outputs should be incorporated into the layout. Unterminated lines, such as coaxial cable, can appear to be a reactive load to the amplifier IC. By terminating a transmission line with its characteristic impedance, the amplifier's load then appears to be purely resistive and reflections are absorbed at each end of the line. Another advantage of using an output termination resistor is that capacitive loads are isolated from the amplifier output. This isolation helps minimize the reduction in amplifier phase-margin and improves the amplifier stability for improved performance such as reduced peaking and settling times.

General PowerPAD Design Considerations
1.12 General PowerPAD Design Considerations
The THS4052DGN IC is mounted in a special package incorporating a thermal pad that transfers heat from the IC die directly to the PCB. The PowerPAD package is constructed using a downset leadframe. The die is mounted on the leadframe but is electrically isolated from it. The bottom surface of the lead frame is exposed as a metal thermal pad on the underside of the package and makes physical contact with the PCB. Because this thermal pad is in direct physical contact with both the die and the PCB, excellent thermal performance can be achieved by providing a good thermal path away from the thermal pad mounting point on the PCB. Although there are many ways to properly heatsink this device, the following steps illustrate the recommended approach as used on the THS4052 EVM. 1) Prepare the PCB with a top side etch pattern as shown in Figure 1-8. There should be etch for the leads as well as etch for the thermal pad.
Figure 1-8. PowerPAD PCB Etch and Via Pattern
Thermal pad area (68 mils x 70 mils) with 5 vias (Via diameter = 13 mils)
2) Place five holes in the area of the thermal pad. These holes should be 13 mils in diameter. They are kept small so that solder wicking through the holes is not a problem during reflow. 3) Additional vias may be placed anywhere along the thermal plane outside of the thermal pad area. This helps dissipate the heat generated by the THS4052DGN IC. These additional vias may be larger than the 13-mil diameter vias directly under the thermal pad They can be larger because they are not in the thermal pad area to be soldered so that wicking is not a problem. 4) Connect all holes to the internal ground plane. 5) When connecting these holes to the ground plane, do not use the typical web or spoke via connection methodology. Web connections have a high thermal resistance connection that is useful for slowing the heat transfer during soldering operations. This makes the soldering of vias that have plane connections easier. In this application, however, low thermal resistance is desired for the most efficient heat transfer. Therefore, the holes under the THS4052DGN package should make their connection to the internal ground plane with a complete connection around the entire circumference of the plated-through hole. 6) The top-side solder mask should leave the terminals of the package and the thermal pad area with its five holes exposed. The bottom-side solder mask should cover the five holes of the thermal pad area. This prevents solder from being pulled away from the thermal pad area during the reflow process. 7) Apply solder paste to the exposed thermal pad area and all of the IC terminals.

General PowerPAD Design Considerations
8) With these preparatory steps in place, the THS4052DGN IC is simply placed in position and run through the solder reflow operation as any standard surface-mount component. This results in a part that is properly installed. The actual thermal performance achieved with the THS4052DGN in its PowerPAD package depends on the application. In the example above, if the size of the internal ground plane is approximately 3 inches x 3 inches, then the expected thermal coefficient, JA, is about 58.4_C/W. For comparison, the non-PowerPAD version of the THS4052 IC (D-package in SOIC) is shown. For a given JA, the maximum power dissipation is shown in Figure 1-9 and is calculated by the following formula:

Even though the THS4052 EVM PCB is smaller than the one in the example above, the results should give an idea of how much power can be dissipated by the PowerPAD IC package. The THS4052 EVM is a good example of proper thermal management when using PowerPAD-mounted devices.
