Copyright (c) 2002-2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated THS4500 THS4501 SLOS350F - APRIL 2002 - REVISED OCTOBER 2011 www.ti.com This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage. ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods may degrade device reliability. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those specified is not implied. The THS4500/1 may incorporate a PowerPAD on the underside of the chip. This acts as a heat sink and must be connected to a thermally dissipative plane for proper power dissipation. Failure to do so may result in exceeding the maximum junction temperature which could permanently damage the device. See TI technical briefs SLMA002 and SLMA004 for more information about utilizing the PowerPAD thermally-enhanced package. The absolute maximum temperature under any condition is limited by the constraints of the silicon process. The maximum junction temperature for continuous operation is limited by package constraints. Operation above this temperature may result in reduced reliability and/or lifetime of the device.

Fully differential amplifiers not only serve as the primary means of providing gain to a differential signal chain, but also provide a monolithic solution for converting single-ended signals into differential signals for easier, higher performance processing. The THS4500 family of amplifiers contains products in Texas Instruments' expanding line of high-performance, fully differential amplifiers. Information on fully differential amplifier fundamentals, as well as implementation specific information, is presented in the Applications Section of this data sheet to provide a better understanding of the operation of the THS4500 family of devices, and to simplify the design process for designs using these amplifiers. Fully differential amplifiers are typically packaged in eight-pin packages, as shown in Figure 97. The device pins include two inputs (VIN+, VIN-), two outputs (VOUT-, VOUT+), two power supplies (VS+, VS-), an output common-mode control pin (VOCM), and an optional power-down pin (PD). APPLICATIONS SECTION A standard configuration for the device is shown in Figure 97. The functionality of a fully differential amplifier can be imagined as two inverting amplifiers that share a common noninverting terminal (though the voltage is not necessarily fixed).

Fully Differential Amplifier Pin Diagram INPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE RANGE AND THE THS4500 FAMILY The key difference between the THS4500/1 and the THS4502/3 is the input common-mode range for the four devices. The THS4502 and THS4503 have an input common-mode range that is centered around midrail, and the THS4500 and THS4501 have an input common-mode range that is shifted to include the negative power-supply rail. Selection of one or the other amplifier is determined by the nature of the application. Specifically, the THS4500 and THS4501 are designed for use in single-supply applications where the input signal is ground-referenced, as depicted in Figure 98. The THS4502 and THS4503 are designed for use in single-supply or split-supply applications where the input signal is centered between the power-supply voltages, as depicted in Figure 99.

Application Circuit for the THS4500 and THS4501, Featuring Split-Supply Operation With an Input Signal Referenced at the Midrail Equation 1 through Equation 5 are used to calculate the required input common-mode range for a given set of input conditions. The equations allow calculation of the input common-mode range requirements, given information about the input signal, the output voltage swing, the gain, and the output common-mode voltage. Calculating the maximum and minimum voltage required for VN and VP (the amplifier input nodes) determines whether or not the input common-mode range is violated or not. Four equations are required: two calculate the output voltages and two calculate the node voltages at VN and VP (note that only one of these nodes needs calculation, because the amplifier forces a virtual short between the two nodes). RF Figure 100. Diagram For Input Common-Mode Range Equations Table 1 and Table 2 depict the input common-mode range requirements for two different input scenarios, an input referenced around the negative rail and an input referenced around midrail. The tables highlight the differing requirements on input common-mode range, and illustrate the reasoning to choose either the THS4500/1 or the THS4502/3. For signals referenced around the negative power supply, the THS4500/1 should be chosen because its input common-mode range includes the negative supply rail. For all other situations, the THS4502/3 offers slightly improved distortion and noise performance for applications with input signals centered between the power-supply rails. Table 1.

The values presented in this section provide the optimum high-frequency performance (lowest distortion, flat frequency response). Since the THS4500 family of amplifiers is developed with a voltage feedback architecture, the choice of resistor values does not have a dominant effect on bandwidth, unlike a current-feedback amplifier. However, resistor choices do have second-order effects. For optimal performance, the following feedback resistor values are recommended. In higher gain configurations (gain greater than two), the feedback resistor values have much less effect on the high-frequency performance. Example feedback and gain resistor values are given in the section on basic design considerations (Table 3). Amplifier loading, noise, and the flatness of the frequency response are three design parameters that should be considered when selecting feedback resistors. Larger resistor values contribute more noise and can induce peaking in the ac response in low gain configurations; smaller resistor values can load the amplifier more heavily, resulting in a reduction in distortion performance. In addition, feedback resistor values, coupled with gain requirements, determine the value of the gain resistors and directly impact the input impedance of the entire circuit. While there are no strict rules about resistor selection, these trends can provide qualitative design guidance. APPLICATION CIRCUITS USING FULLY DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIERS Fully differential amplifiers provide designers with a great deal of flexibility in a wide variety of applications. This section provides an overview of some common circuit configurations and gives some design guidelines. Designing the interface to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), driving lines differentially, and filtering with fully differential amplifiers are a few of the circuits that are covered.

INTERFACING TO AN ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER The THS4500 family of amplifiers are designed specifically to interface to today's highest-performance ADCs. This section highlights the key concerns when interfacing to an ADC and provides example interface circuits. There are several key design concerns when interfacing to an analog-to-digital converter: * Terminate the input source properly. In high-frequency receiver chains, the source that feeds the fully differential amplifier requires a specific load impedance (that is, 50 ). * Design a symmetric printed circuit board (PCB) layout. Even-order distortion products are heavily influenced by layout, and careful attention to a symmetric layout minimizes these distortion products. * Minimize inductance in power-supply decoupling traces and components. Poor power-supply decoupling can have a dramatic effect on circuit performance. Since the outputs are differential, differential currents exist in the power-supply pins. Thus, decoupling capacitors should be placed in a manner that minimizes the impedance of the current loop. * Use separate analog and digital power supplies and grounds. Noise (bounce) in the power supplies (created by digital switching currents) can couple directly into the signal path, and power-supply noise can create higher distortion products as well. * Use care when filtering. While an RC low-pass filter may be desirable on the output of the amplifier to filter broadband noise, the excess loading can negatively impact the amplifier linearity. Filtering in the feedback path does not have this effect. * AC-coupling allows easier circuit design. If dc-coupling is required, be aware of the excess power dissipation that can occur due to level-shifting the output through the output common-mode voltage control. * Do not terminate the output unless required. Many open-loop, class-A amplifiers require 50- termination for proper operation, but closed-loop fully differential amplifiers drive a specific output * * * * * voltage regardless of the load impedance present. Terminating the output of a fully differential amplifier with a heavy load adversely affects the amplifier linearity. Comprehend the VOCM input drive requirements. Determine if the ADC voltage reference can provide the required amount of current to move VOCM to the desired value. A buffer may be needed. Decouple the VOCM pin to eliminate the antenna effect. VOCM is a high-impedance node that can act as an antenna. A large decoupling capacitor on this node eliminates this problem. Know the input common-mode range. If the input signal is referenced around the negative power-supply rail (for example, around ground on a single 5 V supply), then the THS4500/1 accommodates the input signal. If the input signal is referenced around midrail, choose the THS4502/3 for the best operation. Packaging makes a difference at higher frequencies. If possible, choose the smaller, thermally-enhanced MSOP package for the best performance. As a rule, lower junction temperatures provide better performance. If possible, use a thermally-enhanced package, even if the power dissipation is relatively small compared to the maximum power dissipation rating to achieve the best results. Understand the effect of the load impedance seen by the fully differential amplifier when performing system-level intercept point calculations. Lighter loads (such as those presented by an ADC) allow smaller intercept points to support the same level of intermodulation distortion performance. EXAMPLE ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER DRIVER CIRCUITS The THS4500 family of devices is designed to drive high-performance ADCs with extremely high linearity, allowing for the maximum effective number of bits at the output of the data converter. Two representative circuits shown below highlight single-supply operation and split supply operation, respectively. Specific feedback resistor, gain resistor, and feedback capacitor values are not shown, as these values depend on the frequency of interest. Information on calculating these values can be found in the applications material above.

Several of these are outlined in the application report A Differential Circuit Collection (literature number SLOA064), referenced at the end of this data sheet. The circuit below depicts a simple, two-pole, low-pass filter applicable to many different types of systems. The first pole is set by the resistors and capacitors in the feedback paths, and the second pole is set by the isolation resistors and the capacitor across the outputs of the isolation resistors. 0.1 mF CF1 Figure 103. Using the THS4501 With the ADS5421 FULLY DIFFERENTIAL LINE DRIVERS RG1 RS RF1 RISO RT VS + - The THS4500 family of amplifiers can be used as high-frequency, high-swing differential line drivers. The high power-supply voltage rating (16.5 V absolute maximum) allows operation on a single 12-V or a single 15-V supply. The high supply voltage, coupled with the ability to provide differential outputs, enables the ability to drive 26 VPP into reasonably heavy loads (250 or greater). The circuit in Figure 104 illustrates the THS4500 family of devices used as high-speed line drivers. For line driver applications, close attention must be paid to thermal design constraints because of the typically high level of power dissipation. 26 Submit Documentation Feedback C VO + RG2 RISO RF2 CF2 Figure 105.

The preferred method of filtering is to use the feedback network, as the typically smaller capacitances required at these points in the circuit do not load the amplifier nearly as heavily in the passband. SETTING THE OUTPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE WITH THE VOCM INPUT The output common-mode voltage pin provides a critical function to the fully differential amplifier; it accepts an input voltage and reproduces that input voltage as the output common-mode voltage. In other words, the VOCM input provides the ability to level-shift the outputs to any voltage inside the output voltage swing of the amplifier. A description of the input circuitry of the VOCM pin is shown in Figure 106 to facilitate an easier understanding of the VOCM interface requirements. The VOCM pin has two 50-k resistors between the power supply rails to set the default output common-mode voltage to midrail. A voltage applied to the VOCM pin alters the output common-mode voltage as long as the source has the ability to provide enough current to overdrive the two 50-k resistors. This phenomenon is depicted in the VOCM equivalent circuit diagram. Current drive is especially important when using the reference voltage of an analog-to-digital converter to drive VOCM. Output current drive capabilities differ from part to part, so a voltage buffer may be necessary in some applications. capacitance is a reasonable value for eliminating a great deal of broadband interference, but additional, tuned decoupling capacitors should be considered if a specific source of electromagnetic or radio frequency interference is present elsewhere in the system. Information on the ac performance (bandwidth, slew rate) of the VOCM circuitry is included in the Electrical Characteristics and Typical Characterisitcs sections. Since the VOCM pin provides the ability to set an output common-mode voltage, the ability for increased power dissipation exists. While this possibility does not pose a performance problem for the amplifier, it can cause additional power dissipation of which the system designer should be aware. The circuit shown in Figure 107 demonstrates an example of this phenomenon. For a device operating on a single 5-V supply with an input signal referenced around ground and an output common-mode voltage of 2.5 V, a dc potential exists between the outputs and the inputs of the device. The amplifier sources current into the feedback network in order to provide the circuit with the proper operating point. While there are no serious effects on the circuit performance, the extra power dissipation may need to be included in the system power budget.

Equivalent Input Circuit for VOCM By design, the input signal applied to the VOCM pin propagates to the outputs as a common-mode signal. As shown in Figure 106, the VOCM input has a high impedance associated with it, dictated by the two 50-k resistors. While the high impedance allows for relaxed drive requirements, it also allows the pin and any associated PCB traces to act as an antenna. For this reason, a decoupling capacitor is recommended on this node for the sole purpose of filtering any high-frequency noise that could couple into the signal path through the VOCM circuitry.

Even-numbered devices have power-down capability, which is described in detail here. The power-down pin of the amplifiers defaults to the positive supply voltage in the absence of an applied voltage (that is, an internal pull-up resistor is present), putting the amplifier in the power-on mode of operation. To turn off the amplifier in an effort to conserve power, the power-down pin can be driven towards the negative rail. The threshold voltages for power-on and power-down are relative to the supply rails and given in the specification tables. Above the enable threshold voltage, the device is on. Below the disable threshold voltage, the device is off. Behavior between these threshold voltages is not specified. Note that this power-down functionality is just that; the amplifier consumes less power in power-down mode. The power-down mode is not intended to provide a high-impedance output. In other words, the power-down functionality is not intended to allow use as a 3-state bus driver. When in power-down mode, the impedance looking back into the output of the amplifier is dominated by the feedback and gain setting resistors. The time delays associated with turning the device on and off are specified as the time it takes for the amplifier to reach 50% of the nominal quiescent current. The time delays are on the order of microseconds because the amplifier moves in and out of the linear mode of operation in these transitions. LINEARITY: DEFINITIONS, TERMINOLOGY, CIRCUIT TECHNIQUES, AND DESIGN TRADEOFFS The THS4500 family of devices features unprecedented distortion performance for monolithic fully differential amplifiers. This section focuses on the fundamentals of distortion, circuit techniques for reducing nonlinearity, and methods for equating distortion of fully differential amplifiers to desired linearity specifications in RF receiver chains. Amplifiers are generally thought of as linear devices. In other words, the output of an amplifier is a linearly scaled version of the input signal applied to it. In reality, however, amplifier transfer functions are nonlinear. Minimizing amplifier nonlinearity is a primary design goal in many applications. Intercept points are specifications that have long been used as key design criteria in the RF communications world as a metric for the intermodulation distortion performance of a device in the signal chain (for example, amplifiers, mixers, 28 Submit Documentation Feedback etc.). Use of the intercept point, rather than strictly the intermodulation distortion, allows for simpler system-level calculations. Intercept points, like noise figures, can be easily cascaded back and forth through a signal chain to determine the overall receiver chain intermodulation distortion performance. The relationship between intermodulation distortion and intercept point is depicted in Figure 108 and Figure 109.

Traditionally, these systems use primarily class-A, single-ended RF amplifiers as gain blocks. These RF amplifiers are typically designed to operate in a 50- environment, just like the rest of the receiver chain. Since intercept points are given in dBm, this implies an associated impedance (50 ). However, with a fully differential amplifier, the output does not require termination as an RF amplifier would. Because closed-loop amplifiers deliver signals to the outputs regardless of the impedance present, it is important to comprehend this feature when evaluating the intercept point of a fully differential amplifier. The THS4500 series of devices yields optimum distortion performance when loaded with 200 to 1 k, very similar to the input impedance of an analog-to-digital converter over its input frequency band. As a result, terminating the input of the ADC to 50 can actually be detrimental to system performance. This discontinuity between open-loop, class-A amplifiers and closed-loop, class-AB amplifiers becomes apparent when comparing the intercept points of the two types of devices. Equation 10 gives the definition of an intercept point, relative to the intermodulation distortion.

(11) As can be seen in the equations, when a higher impedance is used, the same level of intermodulation distortion performance results in a lower intercept point. Therefore, it is important to understand the impedance seen by the output of the fully differential amplifier when selecting a minimum intercept point. Figure 110 shows the relationship between the strict definition of an intercept point with a normalized, or equivalent, intercept point for the THS4500.

Equivalent 3rd-Order Intercept Point for the THS4500 Comparing specifications between different device types becomes easier when a common impedance level is assumed. For this reason, the intercept points on the THS4500 family of devices are reported normalized to a 50- load impedance. AN ANALYSIS OF NOISE IN FULLY DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIERS Noise analysis in fully differential amplifiers is analogous to noise analysis in single-ended amplifiers; the same concepts apply. Figure 111 shows a generic circuit diagram consisting of a voltage source, a termination resistor, two gain setting resistors, two feedback resistors, and a fully differential amplifier is shown, including all the relevant noise sources. From this circuit, the noise factor (F) and noise figure (NF) are calculated. The figures indicate the appropriate scaling factor for each of the noise sources in two different cases. The first case includes the termination resistor, and the second, simplified case assumes that the voltage source is properly terminated by the gain-setting resistors. With these scaling factors, the amplifier input noise power (NA) can be calculated by summing each individual noise source with its scaling factor. The noise delivered to the amplifier by the source (NI) and input noise power are used to calculate the noise factor and noise figure as shown in Equation 23 through Equation 27.

Recommendations that optimize performance include: * Minimize parasitic capacitance to any ac ground for all of the signal I/O pins. Parasitic capacitance on the output and input pins can cause instability. To reduce unwanted capacitance, a window around the signal I/O pins should be opened in all of the ground and power planes around those pins. Otherwise, ground and power planes should be unbroken elsewhere on the board. * Minimize the distance (< 0.25", 6.35 mm) from the power-supply pins to high frequency 0.1-F decoupling capacitors. At the device pins, the ground and power-plane layout should not be in close proximity to the signal I/O pins. Avoid narrow power and ground traces to minimize inductance between the pins and the decoupling capacitors. The power supply connections should always be decoupled with these capacitors. Larger (6.8 F or more) tantalum decoupling capacitors, effective at lower frequency, should also be used on the main supply pins. These may be placed somewhat farther from the device and may be shared among several devices in the same area of the PCB. The primary goal is to minimize the impedance seen in the differential-current return paths. * Careful selection and placement of external components preserve the high-frequency performance of the THS4500 family. Resistors should be a very low reactance type. Surface-mount resistors work best and allow a tighter overall layout. Metal-film and carbon composition, axially-leaded resistors can also provide good high frequency performance. Again, keep the leads and PCB trace length as short as possible. Never use wirewound type resistors in a high-frequency application. Since the output pin and inverting input pins are the most sensitive to parasitic capacitance, always position the feedback and series output resistors, if any, as close as possible to the inverting input pins and output pins. Other network components, such as input termination resistors, should be placed close to the gain-setting resistors. Even with a low parasitic capacitance shunting the external resistors, excessively high resistor values can create significant time constants that can degrade performance. Good axial metal-film or surface-mount resistors have approximately 0.2 pF in shunt with the resistor. For resistor values greater than 2.0 k, this parasitic * * * * capacitance can add a pole and/or a zero below 400 MHz that can affect circuit operation. Keep resistor values as low as possible, consistent with load driving considerations. Connections to other wideband devices on the board may be made with short direct traces or through onboard transmission lines. For short connections, consider the trace and the input to the next device as a lumped capacitive load. Relatively wide traces (50 mils to 100 mils, or 1.27 mm to 2.54 mm) should be used, preferably with ground and power planes opened up around them. Estimate the total capacitive load and determine if isolation resistors on the outputs are necessary. Low parasitic capacitive loads (less than 4 pF) may not need an RS since the THS4500 family is nominally compensated to operate with a 2-pF parasitic load. Higher parasitic capacitive loads without an RS are allowed as the signal gain increases (increasing the unloaded phase margin). If a long trace is required, and the 6-dB signal loss intrinsic to a doubly-terminated transmission line is acceptable, implement a matched impedance transmission line using microstrip or stripline techniques (consult an ECL design handbook for microstrip and stripline layout techniques). A 50- environment is normally not necessary onboard, and in fact, a higher impedance environment improves distortion as shown in the distortion versus load plots. With a characteristic board trace impedance defined based onboard material and trace dimensions, a matching series resistor into the trace from the output of the THS4500 family is used as well as a terminating shunt resistor at the input of the destination device. Remember also that the terminating impedance is the parallel combination of the shunt resistor and the input impedance of the destination device: this total effective impedance should be set to match the trace impedance. If the 6-dB attenuation of a doubly-terminated transmission line is unacceptable, a long trace can be series-terminated at the source end only. Treat the trace as a capacitive load in this case. This configuration does not preserve signal integrity as well as a doubly-terminated line. If the input impedance of the destination device is low, there is some signal attenuation due to the voltage divider formed by the series output into the terminating impedance. Socketing a high-speed part such as the THS4500 family is not recommended. The additional lead length and pin-to-pin capacitance introduced by the socket can create an extremely troublesome parasitic network that can make it almost impossible to achieve a smooth, stable frequency response.

These packages are constructed using a downset leadframe upon which the die is mounted [see Figure 112(a) and Figure 112(b)]. This arrangement results in the lead frame being exposed as a thermal pad on the underside of the package [see Figure 112(c)]. Because this thermal pad has direct thermal contact with the die, excellent thermal performance can be achieved by providing a good thermal path away from the thermal pad. The PowerPAD package allows for both assembly and thermal management in one manufacturing operation. During the surface-mount solder operation (when the leads are being soldered), the thermal pad can also be soldered to a copper area underneath the package. Through the use of thermal paths within this copper area, heat can be conducted away from the package into either a ground plane or other heat dissipating device. The PowerPAD package represents a breakthrough in combining the small area and ease of assembly of surface mount with the, heretofore, awkward mechanical methods of heatsinking.

PowerPAD PCB Etch and Via Pattern PowerPAD PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS 1. Prepare the PCB with a top side etch pattern as shown in Figure 113. There should be etch for the leads as well as etch for the thermal pad. 2. Place five holes in the area of the thermal pad. These holes should be 13 mils (0.33 mm) in diameter. Keep them 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. These holes help dissipate the heat generated by the THS4500 family 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 transfer slowing 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 THS4500 family PowerPAD package should make their connection to the internal ground plane with a complete connection around the entire circumference of the plated-through hole.

Failure may result if the absolute maximum junction temperature of +150C is exceeded. For best performance, design for a maximum junction temperature of +125C. Between +125C and +150C, damage does not occur, but the performance of the amplifier begins to degrade. The thermal characteristics of the device are dictated by the package and the PCB. Maximum power dissipation for a given package can be calculated using the following formula. TMAX - TA PDmax = qJA Where: PDmax is the maximum power dissipation in the amplifier (W). TMAX is the absolute maximum junction temperature (C). TA is the ambient temperature (C). JA = JC + CA JC is the thermal coefficient from the silicon junctions to the case (C/W). CA is the thermal coefficient from the case to ambient air (C/W). (28) For systems where heat dissipation is more critical, the THS4500 family of devices is offered in an MSOP-8 package with PowerPAD. The thermal coefficient for the MSOP PowerPAD package is substantially improved over the traditional SOIC. Maximum power dissipation levels are depicted in Figure 114 for the two packages. The data for the DGN package assumes a board layout that follows the PowerPAD layout guidelines referenced above and detailed in the PowerPAD application notes in the Additional Reference Material section at the end of the data sheet. 3.5 PD - Maximum Power Dissipation - W 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 configuration 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. 8. With these preparatory steps in place, the IC is simply placed in position and run through the solder reflow operation as any standard surface-mount component. This process results in a part that is properly installed. 8-Pin DGN Package 3 2.5 2 8-Pin D Package 1.5 1 0.5 0 -40 -20 0 20 40 60 TA - Ambient Temperature - C 80 JA = 170C/W for 8-Pin SOIC (D) JA = 58.4C/W for 8-Pin MSOP (DGN) J = 150C, No Airflow Figure 114. Maximum Power Dissipation vs Ambient Temperature When determining whether or not the device satisfies the maximum power dissipation requirement, it is important to not only consider quiescent power dissipation, but also dynamic power dissipation. Often times, this consideration is difficult to quantify because the signal pattern is inconsistent; an estimate of the RMS power dissipation can provide visibility into a possible problem. DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS High-speed amplifiers are typically not well-suited for driving large capacitive loads. If necessary, however, the load capacitance should be isolated by two isolation resistors in series with the output. The requisite isolation resistor size depends on the value of the capacitance, but 10 to 25 is a good place to begin the optimization process. Larger isolation resistors decrease the amount of peaking in the frequency response induced by the capacitive load, but this decreased peaking comes at the expense ofa larger voltage drop across the resistors, increasing the output swing requirements of the system.

Careful decoupling provides higher quality ac performance (most notably improved distortion performance). The following guidelines ensure the highest level of performance. 1. Place decoupling capacitors as close to the power-supply inputs as possible, with the goal of minimizing the inductance of the path from ground to the power supply. 2. Placement priority should be as follows: smaller capacitors should be closer to the device. 3. Use of solid power and ground planes is recommended to reduce the inductance along power-supply return current paths. 4. Recommended values for power-supply decoupling include 10-F and 0.1-F capacitors for each supply. A 1000-pF capacitor can be used across the supplies as well for extremely high frequency return currents, but often is not required. EVALUATION FIXTURES, SPICE MODELS, AND APPLICATIONS SUPPORT Texas Instruments is committed to providing its customers with the highest quality of applications support.

Simplified Schematic of the Evaluation Board Computer simulation of circuit performance using SPICE is often useful when analyzing the performance of analog circuits and systems. This practice is particularly true for video and RF amplifier circuits where parasitic capacitance and inductance can have a major effect on circuit performance. A SPICE model for the THS4500 family of devices is available through either the Texas Instruments web site (www.ti.com) or as one model on a disk from the Texas Instruments Product Information Center (1-800-548-6132). The PIC is also available for design assistance and detailed product information at this number. These models do a good job of predicting small-signal ac and transient performance under a wide variety of operating conditions. They are not intended to model the distortion characteristics of the amplifier, nor do they attempt to distinguish between the package types in their small-signal ac performance. Detailed information about what is and is not modeled is contained in the model file itself.
