Introduction and Description

1.1 Description

The THS4141 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 THS4141

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 (VO+ and VO–) 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

moduleboard to verifyfilter designs or perform other experiments. Each input
