description
The THS7001 (single) and THS7002 (dual) are high-speed programmable-gain amplifiers, ideal for applications
where load impedance can often vary. Each channel on this device consists of a separate low-noise input
preamp and a programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The preamp is a voltage-feedback amplifier offering a low
1.7-nV/Hz voltage noise with a 100-MHz (3 dB) bandwidth. The output pin of the preamp is accessible so that
filters can be easily added to the amplifier.
The 3-bit digitally-controlled PGA provides a 22-dB to 20-dB attenuation/gain range with a 6-dB step
resolution. In addition, the PGA provides both high and low output clamp protection to prevent the output signal
from swinging outside the common-mode input range of an analog-to-digital converter. The PGA provides a
wide 70-MHz (3 dB) bandwidth, which remains relatively constant over the entire gain/attenuation range.
Independent shutdown control is also provided for power conservation and multiplexing. These devices operate
over a wide 4.5-V to 16-V supply voltage range.

input preamp
To achieve the minimum input equivalent noise required for very small input signals, the input preamp is
configured as a classic voltage feedback amplifier with a minimum gain of 2 or 1. The output of the preamp
is accessible, allowing for adjustment of gain using external resistors and for external filtering between the
preamp and the PGA.

Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating conditions is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. The THS7001 and THS7002 incorporates a PowerPAD on the underside of the chip. The PowerPAD acts as a heatsink and must
be connected to a thermal dissipation plane for proper power dissipation. Failure to do so can result in exceeding the maximum
junction temperature, which could permanently damage the device. See the Thermal Information section of this document for more
information about PowerPAD technology.
2. For operation above TA = 25C, derate the THS7001 linearly to 2 W at the rate of 30.6 mW/C and derate the THS7002 linearly to
2.33 W at the rate of 35.9 mW/C.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
theory of operation
Each section of the THS7001 and THS7002 consists of a pair of high speed operational amplifiers configured
in a voltage feedback architecture. They are built using a 30-V, dielectrically isolated, complementary bipolar
process with NPN and PNP transistors possessing fTs of several GHz. This results in exceptionally high
performance amplifiers that have a wide bandwidth, high slew rate, fast settling time, and low distortion. A
simplified schematic of the preamplifiers are shown in Figure 51.

(2)
As the previous equations show, to keep noise at a minimum, small value resistors should be used. As the
closed-loop gain is increased (by reducing RF + RG), the input noise can be reduced considerably because of
the parallel resistance term. This leads to the general conclusion that the most dominant noise sources are the
source resistor (RS) and the internal amplifier noise voltage (en). Because noise is summed in a
root-mean-squares method, noise sources smaller than 25% of the largest noise source can be effectively
ignored. This can greatly simplify the formula and make noise calculations much easier to calculate.
By using the low noise preamplifiers as the first element in the signal chain, the input signals signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) is maintained throughout the entire system. This is because the dominant system noise is due to
the first amplifier. This can be seen with the following example:

In a typical system, amplifier 1 (A1) has a large gain (AV1). Because the noise is summed in the RMS method,
if the A1 output noise is more than 25% larger than the input noise of amplifier 2, the contribution of
amplifier 2s input noise to the composite amplifier output noise can effectively be ignored. This reduces
equation 3 down to:
e no2 e

V1
(4)
V2
Equation 4 shows that the very first amplifier (the preamplifier) is critical in any low-level signal system. This also
shows that practically any noisy amplifier can be used after the preamplifier with minimal SNR degradation.
For more information on noise analysis, please refer to the Noise Analysis section in Operational Amplifier
Circuits Applications Report (literature number SLVA043).
This brings up another noise measurement usually preferred in RF applications, the noise figure (NF). Noise
figure is a measure of noise degradation caused by the amplifier. The value of the source resistance must be
defined and is typically 50 in RF applications.

optimizing frequency response for the preamplifiers (continued)
The next thing that helps to maintain a smooth frequency response is to keep the feedback resistor (Rf) and
the gain resistor (Rg) values fairly low. These two resistors are effectively in parallel when looking at the ac
small-signal response. This is why in a configuration with a gain of 5, a feedback resistor of 5.1 k with a gain
resistor of 1.2 k only shows a small peaking in the frequency response. The parallel resistance is less than
1 k. This value, in conjunction with a very small stray capacitance test PCB, forms a zero on the edge of the
amplifiers natural frequency response. To eliminate this peaking, all that needs to be done is to reduce the
feedback and gain resistances. One other way to compensate for this stray capacitance is to add a small
capacitor in parallel with the feedback resistor. This helps to neutralize the effects of the stray capacitance. To
keep this zero out of the operating range, the stray capacitance and resistor values time constant must be kept
low. But, as can be seen in Figures 14 19, a value too low starts to reduce the bandwidth of the amplifier. Table
1 shows some recommended feedback resistors to be used with the THS7001 and THS7002 preamplifiers.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
PGA gain control (continued)
One aspect of the THS7001 and THS7002 PGA signal inputs is that there are internal variable resistors (RF
and RG), which set the gain. The resistance of RG changes from about 270- (Gain = +20 dB) to about 3-k
(Gain = 22 dB). Therefore, any source impedance at the input to the PGA amplifiers will cause a gain error
to be seen at the output. A buffer/amplifier is highly recommended to directly drive the input of the PGA section
to help minimize this effect.
Another thing which should be kept in mind is that when each amplifiers VREF is connected to ground, the
internal RG resistor is connected to a virtual ground. Therefore, if a termination resistor is used on the source
side, the total terminating resistance is the parallel combination of the terminating resistance and the internal
RG resistor. This, in conjunction with the series impedance problem mentioned previously, can potentially cause
a voltage mismatch between the output of a 50- source and the expected PGA output voltage. These points
can be easily seen in the simplified diagram of the THS7001 and THS7002 PGA section (see Figure 56).

APPLICATION INFORMATION
output clamping
Typically, the output of the PGA will directly drive an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Because of the limited
linear input range and saturation characteristics of most ADCs, the PGAs outputs incorporate a voltage clamp.
Unlike a lot of clamping amplifiers which clamp only at the input, the THS7001 and THS7002 clamps at the
output stage. This insures that the output will always be protected regardless of the Gain setting and the input
voltage. The clamps activate almost instantaneously and recover from saturation in less than 7 ns. This can be
extremely important when the THS7001 and THS7002 is used to drive some ADCs which have a very long
overdrive recovery time. It is also recommended to add a pair of high frequency bypass capacitors to the clamp
inputs. These capacitors will help eliminate any ringing which may ocur when a large pulse is applied to the
amplifier. This pulse will force the clamp diodes to abruptly turn on, drawing current from the reference voltages.
Just like a power supply trace, you must minimize the inductance seen by the clamp pins. The bypass capacitors
will supply the sudden current demands when the clamps are suddenly turned on. A simplified clamping circuit
diagram is shown in Figure 57.

shutdown control
There are two shutdown pins which control the shutdown for each half of the THS7002 and one shutdown pin
for the THS7001. When the shutdown pins signals are low, the THS7001 and THS7002 is active. But, when a
shutdown pin is high (+5 V), a preamplifier and the respective PGA section is turned off. Just like the Gain
controls, the shutdown logic is not latched and should always have a signal applied to them. A 3.3-k resistor
to ground is usually applied to ensure a fixed logic state. A simplified circuit can be seen in Figure 60.

When receiving low-level signals, limiting the bandwidth of the incoming signals into the system is often
required. The simplest way to accomplish this is to place an RC filter at the noninverting terminal of the THS7001
and THS7002 preamplifier (see Figure 63).

general configurations (continued)
If even more attenuation is needed, a multiple-pole filter is required. The Sallen-Key filter can be used for this
task. For best results, the THS7001 and THS7002 preamplifier should have a bandwidth that is 8 to 10 times
the filter frequency bandwidth. Failure to do this can result in phase shift of the amplifier.

ADSL
The ADSL receive band consists of up to 255 separate carrier frequencies each with its own modulation and
amplitude level. With such an implementation, it is imperative that signals received off the telephone line have
as high a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as possible. This is because of the numerous sources of interference on
the line. The best way to accomplish this high SNR is to have a low-noise preamplifier on the front-end. It is also
important to have the lowest distortion possible to help minimize against interference within the ADSL carriers.
The THS7001 and THS7002 was designed with these two priorities in mind.
By taking advantage of the superb characteristics of the complimentary bipolar process (BICOM), the THS7001
and THS7002 offers extremely low noise and distortion while maintaining a high bandwidth. There are some
aspects that help minimize distortion in any amplifier. The first is to extend the bandwidth of the amplifier as high
as possible without peaking. This allows the amplifier to eliminate any nonlinearities in the output signal. Another
thing that helps to minimize distortion is to increase the load impedance seen by the amplifier, thereby reducing
the currents in the output stage. This will help keep the output transistors in their linear amplification range and
will also reduce the heating effects.
One central-office side terminal circuit implementation, shown in Figure 65, uses a 1:2 transformer ratio. While
creating a power and output voltage advantage for the line drivers, the 1:2 transformer ratio reduces the SNR
for the received signals. The ADSL standard, ANSI T1.413, stipulates a noise power spectral density of 140
dBm/Hz, which is equivalent to 31.6 nV/Hz for a 100 system. Although many amplifiers can reach this level
of performance, actual ADSL system testing has indicated that the noise power spectral density may typically
be 150 dBm/Hz, or 10 nV/Hz. With a transformer ratio of 1:2, this number reduces to less than 5 nV/Hz.
The THS7002 preamplifiers, with an equivalent input noise of 1.7 nV/Hz, is an excellent choice for this
application. Coupled with a very low 0.9 pA/Hz equivalent input current noise and low value resistors, the
THS7001 and THS7002 will ensure that the received signal SNR will be as high as possible.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
ADSL (continued)
Typically, the outputs of the preamplifiers are carried into a CODEC, which incorporates an analog-to-digital
converter (ADC). The problem with this setup is that it only uses fixed gain elements. But, when the client is close
to the central office, the gain must be set to receive a high-level signal; or for the opposite, set to receive a
low-level signal. To solve this problem, a programmable-gain amplifier (PGA) should be used. The THS7001
and THS7002 PGAs allow the gain of the receiver signals to be varied from 22 dB to 20 dB. By allowing the
gains to be controlled with a TTL-compatible signal, it is very easy to integrate the THS7001 and THS7002 into
any system.
By having the preamplifier output separate from the PGA input, inserting more amplifiers into the system can
be accomplished easily. The functionality of the amplifier is typically as an active fixed gain filter. This is shown
in Figure 66.

Ground planesIt is highly recommended that a ground plane be used on the board to provide all
components with a low inductive ground connection. However, in the areas of the amplifier inputs and
output, the ground plane can be removed to minimize the stray capacitance.
Proper power supply decouplingUse a 6.8-F tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1-F ceramic
capacitor on each supply terminal. It may be possible to share the tantalum among several amplifiers
depending on the application, but a 0.1-F ceramic capacitor should always be used on the supply terminal
of every amplifier. In addition, the 0.1-F capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the supply
terminal. As this distance increases, the inductance in the connecting trace makes the capacitor less
effective. The designer should strive for distances of less than 0.1 inches between the device power
terminals and the ceramic capacitors.
SocketsSockets are not recommended for high-speed operational amplifiers. The additional lead
inductance in the socket pins will often lead to stability problems. Surface-mount packages soldered directly
to the printed-circuit board is the best implementation.

circuit layout considerations (continued)
Short trace runs/compact part placementsOptimum high-frequency performance is achieved when stray
series inductance has been minimized. To realize this, the circuit layout should be made as compact as
possible thereby minimizing the length of all trace runs. Particular attention should be paid to the inverting
input of the amplifier. Its length should be kept as short as possible. This will help to minimize stray
capacitance at the input of the amplifier.
Surface-mount passive componentsUsing surface-mount passive components is recommended for high
frequency amplifier circuits for several reasons. First, because of the extremely low lead inductance of
surface-mount components, the problem with stray series inductance is greatly reduced. Second, the small
size of surface-mount components naturally leads to a more compact layout, thereby minimizing both stray
inductance and capacitance. If leaded components are used, it is recommended that the lead lengths be
kept as short as possible.
thermal information
The THS7001 and THS7002 is supplied in a thermally-enhanced PWP package, which is a member of the
PowerPAD. This package is constructed using a downset leadframe upon which the die is mounted [see
Figure 67(a) and Figure 67(b)]. This arrangement exposes the lead frame as a thermal pad on the underside
of the package [see Figure 67(c)]. Because this pad has direct contact with the die, excellent thermal
performance can be achieved by providing a good thermal path away from the 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 requirement and ease of
assembly of surface mount with the heretofore awkward mechanical methods of heatsinking.

3 inches 3 inches, then the expected thermal coefficient, JA, is about 32.6C/W for the THS7001 and
