Introduction
The LMH32401RGTEVM is an evaluation module (EVM) for the LMH32401IRGT differential output
transimpedance amplifier. The EVM features a transformer to convert the output to a 50-Ω single-ended
connection for easy measurement with standard test equipment, and the option to convert to fullydifferential DC-coupled signals. The input is 50-Ω matched and configured by default to receive a voltage
input that is converted to a current through a 2-kΩ resistor, but can be reconfigured to receive a true
current input with optional photodiode bias connections on the back of the board. The EVM also includes
easy-to-use jumpers to control the device gain, input bias current cancellation, and shutdown functions.

Power Connections
www.ti.com
2
Power Connections
The LMH32401RGTEVM is equipped with a wire socket to easily connect power. The positive supply input
is labeled VDD and ground is labeled GND.
3
Input and Output Connections
The LMH32401RGTEVM is equipped with SMA connectors for easy connection of signal generators and
analysis equipment. As shipped, the EVM is configured for a single-ended input and output, both with 50Ω termination. The differential output of the amplifier is converted to a single-ended output through
transformer T1 on the board. OUT+ is the output connector for single-ended output signals, and is
terminated to 50-Ω single-ended. To use the EVM with a DC-coupled differential output, remove resistor
R7 and transformer T1, and short the connections across the removed transformer input and outputs.
When converting to differential, the output resistors may need to be modified to achieve a desired
impedance match. For more details and instructions on how to reconfigure the EVM, see the applications
section, schematics, and layouts in the LMH32401 500-MHz, Programmable Gain, Differential Output
Transimpedance Amplifier data sheet.
3.1
Gain Control
The amplifier gain can be adjusted using the GAIN jumper on the board to switch between the 2-kΩ and
20-kΩ gain settings. By default, the EVM has R1 populated with a 2-kΩ resistor, which creates an effective
voltage gain of 1 V/V and 10 V/V, respectively, for the two different gain settings.
3.2
Input DC Current Cancellation
The LMH32401 device features an input DC current cancellation circuit that is designed to remove any DC
current that is present from a typical current input device such as a photodiode. This feature can be
enabled or disabled using the IDC_EN jumper on the board. By default, the DC current cancellation circuit
is enabled.
3.3
Enable Function
The LMH32401 device includes an optional disable function to put the device in a low-power mode when it
is not being used. The EVM ships with jumper EN that can be used to easily enable and disable the
device. By default, the board ships with the device enabled.
3.4
Optional VOCM Pin Connection
The common-mode voltage of the differential outputs of the amplifier can be controlled using the VOCM
test point or optional SMA connector. If left unconnected, the amplifier output common mode will default to
1.1 V. By default, the transformer on the EVM will AC couple the output of the device and remove the
effect of the output common-mode voltage. To match the board to a device that requires DC outputs with
a specified common mode (such as an analog to digital converter) the transformer must be removed.
3.5
Option VOD Connection
The LMH32401 device also features a differential output offset pin that controls the DC differential offset of
the two outputs. The EVM features a test point VOD as well as an optional through-hole SMA connector
footprint to drive this pin. If left floating, the DC output differential voltage defaults to 510 mV. This feature
is designed to compensate for unipolar input signals to achieve the maximum dynamic range of the
differential outputs. For more information see the LMH32401 500-MHz, Programmable Gain, Differential
Output Transimpedance Amplifier data sheet.

Optional EVM Configuration for Photodiode Input

www.ti.com
Optional EVM Configuration for Photodiode Input
The LMH32401RGTEVM features an optional configuration to accept a photodiode input in a typical TO
style package. By removing the IN SMA connector, R4, and C11, and shorting C10 and R1, the trace from
IN is shorted to the input of the device. Along with traces A, B, and C on the bottom of the board, the input
trace can be used to connect a common three-terminal photodiode in a TO package. The photodiode can
be mounted over the edge of the board where the cathode can be connected to the input of the amplifier
and the case and anode connections can be soldered to any of the three traces on the bottom of the
board. The A, B, and C traces can then be configured to connect to either ground or the BIAS test point
where an external bias voltage can be applied. Table 2 shows a list of the resistor connections that can be
shorted to connect the traces to bias or ground. By default, the EVM has trace A connected to the bias
test point and trace B connected to ground.

Each trace should only be shorted to either bias or ground. Do not short the traces to both bias and
ground simultaneously or a power-supply short could occur.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et
d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante. Le
présent émetteur radio a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés dans le
manuel d’usage et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne
non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de
l'émetteur
