Power Connections

Power Connections
The LMH5401EVM is equipped with test loops for easy connection of power. The positive supply input is
red and is labeled V+. The negative supply input is yellow and is labeled V–. Ground is black and is
labeled GND.
3.1
Split-Supply Operation
To operate as split supply, apply the positive supply voltage to V+, negative supply voltage to V– , and the
ground reference from supply to GND. The supply voltages do not need to be symmetrical, provided that
the total supply voltage is between 3.15 V and 5.25 V, any combination of positive and negative supply
voltages is acceptable. This feature is often used when the output common mode voltage must be set to a
particular value. For best performance, the power supply voltages should be symmetrical around the
desired output common-mode voltage.
3.2
Single-Supply Operation
To operate as single supply, connect jumper V– to GND, and apply the positive supply voltage to V+.
Inputs and outputs must be biased as in the LMH5401 datasheet (SBOS710) specifications for proper
operation.
4
Input and Output Connections
The LMH5401EVM is equipped with SMA connectors for easy connection of signal generators and
analysis equipment. As shipped, the EVM is configured for a gain of 12 dB, split supply, single-ended
input and differential outputs each with 50-Ω termination. For best results, signals must be routed to and
from the EVM with cables having 50-Ω characteristic impedance. The input connectors for single-ended
input signals are IN+ and IN– which are symmetrical. The output connectors are OUT+ and OUT–. In
addition to the signal cables a 50-Ω resistive termination is required for the unused input. See the
LMH5401 datasheet for additional detail on configuring the device.
4.1
CM (Output Common Mode Voltage) Input
The LMH5401 device has an output common-mode control pin that sets the output common mode
voltage. The evaluation board is configured with a resistive divider to set the output common mode voltage
at the mid supply voltage. If a different output common-mode voltage is specified, the SMA connector can
be used to connect an external voltage source. The valid voltage range for the CM pin is approximately
([V+] – 2 V) to ([V–] + 2 V). See the LMH5401 datasheet for performance curves that show how
performance is impacted by an output common mode voltage that is not at the mid-supply voltage.
4.2
PD (Power Down) Input
The LMH5401 device has a power-down input pin that allows the amplifier to enter a low-power state
when it does not need to be active. The LMH5401 PD pin is referenced to the GND pin. The threshold
voltage is 1.1 V. Any voltage over 1.2 V above the ground reference pins will disable the amplifier. Any
input below 0.9 V enables the amplifier. Because the PD pin is not referenced to either of the supply pins
the same logic level can be used for the PD function regardless of the configuration of the supply
voltages. The LMH5401EVM has a jumper (JPD) that allows the amplifier to be manually disabled. In
order to facilitate driving the PD pin with a high-speed signal source, the resistor-capacitor combination
(Rsd/C9) provides high frequency termination for signals from a 50-Ω pulse generator.
4.3
Single-Ended Inputs
The LMH5401 device was designed for use with 50-Ω single-ended inputs. Even though the board was
designed for single-ended inputs, the board is fully symmetrical, so either input can be used. Connect a
50-Ω signal source to either IN+ or IN– and connect a 50-Ω SMA termination to the other input. This way
both inputs have the same termination condition and the circuit is balanced. In the case where no SMA
50-Ω termination is available, soldering a 50-Ω resistor from the unused input signal trace to the ground
plane is acceptable. A small section of the ground plane has no solder mask that can be used for this
purpose.

Differential Inputs
Using the LMH5401 for differential inputs is possible, however the on chip resistors will need to be
changed first. The LMH5401 device has an internal resistance of 25 Ω between the output and the FB
connections. Once the desired value of the Rf resistors is determined reduce them by 25 Ohms. To
impedance match a 100-Ω differential source, the Ri- and R2 resistors both need to be 50 Ω. The desired
gain will then determine the required value for Rf+ and Rf-. The gain will be Av = (Rf +25)/ Rg. As with
other RF devices the final, system gain will depend on the source resistance and the load resistance.
4.5
Differential Outputs
The LMH5401EVM has two output SMA connectors that are designed to mate to 50-Ω test equipment. By
connecting both outputs to 50-Ω test equipment, the output load is 100-Ω differential. With the on chip and
on board matching resistors, the total load to the amplifier is 200 Ω. The matching resistors cause a 6-dB
loss in voltage gain. The evaluation board has 40-Ω resistors on the board because there are 10-Ω output
resistors on chip inside the device.
4.6
Single-Ended Outputs
Using an external balun to combine the two differential outputs creates a single-ended signal that can be
interfaced to most 50-Ω test equipment. This is the method used by TI engineers to create the datasheet
plots. To match the performance of the LMH5401 device, a very broadband balun must be selected. TI
recommends the Marki B0100 or the PicoPulse Labs 5310A baluns.
