Texas Instruments THS4501EVM Evaluation Module THS4501EVM THS4501EVM Datenbogen

iii

   

This manual provides information about using the THS4501 fully differential
amplifier on evaluation module PCB marked with Edge # 6439396.
Additionally, this document provides a good example of PCB design for
high-speed applications. The user should keep in mind the following points.

-

The design of the high speed amplifier PCB is a sensitive process.

-

The user must approach the PCB design with care and awareness.

-

It is recommended that the user initially review the data sheet of the device
under test.

-

It is helpful to review the schematic and layout of the THS4501EVM to
determine the design techniques used in the evaluation board.

-

It is recommended that the user review the application note Fully
Differential Amplifiers (literature number SLOA054) to gain more insight
about differential amplifiers. This application note reviews fully differential
amps and presents calculations for various filters.
