THS4500MDGNREP datasheet by Texas Instruments

THS4500MDGNREP Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance?
  A good PCB layout is crucial for the THS4500MDGNREP. TI recommends a 4-layer board with a solid ground plane, and to keep the input and output traces short and symmetrical. Additionally, decoupling capacitors should be placed close to the device.
• How do I choose the right gain resistor values?
  The gain resistor values depend on the desired gain and bandwidth. TI provides a gain resistor calculator tool to help with the selection. Generally, a lower gain resistor value results in higher bandwidth but lower gain, while a higher value results in higher gain but lower bandwidth.
• What is the maximum input voltage swing for the THS4500MDGNREP?
  The maximum input voltage swing is ±1.4V, which is limited by the internal clamping diodes. Exceeding this limit can cause damage to the device.
• How do I handle EMI and RFI with the THS4500MDGNREP?
  To minimize EMI and RFI, use a shielded enclosure, keep the device away from noise sources, and use a common-mode choke or ferrite bead on the input lines. Additionally, ensure good PCB layout practices, such as keeping the input and output traces short and symmetrical.
• What is the thermal derating for the THS4500MDGNREP?
  The THS4500MDGNREP has a thermal derating of 13.3 mW/°C above 25°C. This means that the maximum power dissipation decreases as the temperature increases.
