LMH5485-SP-EVM Evaluation Module
ABSTRACT
The LMH5485-SP-EVM is a generic, unpopulated printed circuit board (PCB) designed to provide an optimized
layout when evaluating the LMH5485-SP in a HKX (CFP-8) package. Only a few components are needed
to begin evaluation, Figure 8-1 displays a recommended default schematic. To avoid parasitic component
inductance, the board only accepts surface mount resistors and capacitors. The EVM is designed for use
with 50-Ω laboratory equipment at the input and output, along with balun footprints at the input and ouput for
simple conversion between single-ended and differential signals. For further information on this device and good
PCB layout techniques, see LMH5485-SP Radiation Hardened Assured (RHA) Negative Rail Input, Rail-to-Rail
Output, Precision, 850-MHz Fully Differential Amplifier.

Can be configured for either split-supply or single-supply operation
Easily configurable for various gain options
Designed for easy connection to standard 50-Ω input and output impedance test equipment
3 EVM Specifications
Table 3-1 lists the EVM specifications when used in the recommended configuration:

4 Power Connections
The LMH5485-SP-EVM has test point footprints for easy connection of power. The positive supply input is
labeled V+. The negative supply input is labeled V-. The ground input is labeled GND.
5 Split-Supply Operation
To operate at split supply, apply the positive supply voltage to V+, negative supply voltage to V– , and the ground
reference from supply to GND.
6 Single-Supply Operation
To operate as single supply, connect the V– connector and GND connector to ground and apply the positive
supply voltage to V+. Inputs and outputs must be biased per data sheet specifications for proper operation. The
LMH5485-SP output common-mode voltage defaults to mid-supply if the Vcm connector is left floating.

Input and Output Connections
7 Input and Output Connections
The LMH5485-SP-EVM is equipped with SMA connector footprints for easy connection of signal generators and
analysis equipment. The EVM can either be for single-ended or differential input or output with 50-Ω termination.
For best results, signals must be routed to and from the EVM with cables having 50-Ω characteristic impedance.
Either IN+ (J2) or IN– (J1) can be used for single-ended input. The unused connector should be terminated with
a 50-Ω resistive SMA load. If no SMA load is available, then the spaces marked C1 or C2 can be loaded with
a 0-Ω resistor, and the spaces marked R1 or R4 can be loaded with a 50-Ω to terminate the unused input. Use
both IN+ (J2) and IN– (J1) for differential input.
OUT+ (J9) is the output connector for single-ended output signals. The amplifier converts the single-ended or
differential input to a differential signal at its output pins. A resistor network (R8, R9, and R10) and transformer
on the output of the amplifier (T2) convert the differential output signal to single-ended and provides a 500-Ω
load to the amplifier when terminated in 50-Ω. A 50-Ω line-impedance match at OUT+ should be preserved. This
results in an output measurement loss, and the overall gain is approximately –20-dB. For more details, see the
Applications and Layout Guidelines in the LMH5485-SP Radiation Hardened Assured (RHA) Negative Rail Input,
Rail-to-Rail Output, Precision, 850-MHz Fully Differential Amplifier data sheet.
7.1 VOCM Input Connections
The Vcm input (J3) is optional and sets the common mode of the output pins. The LMH5485-SP will
automatically self-bias the output common-mode voltage to the mid-supply voltage if the Vocm pin is not
connected. This is the optimal voltage for maximum output swing and best linearity.
The valid range of the Vocm is 0.94-V above the negative supply to 1.2-V below the positive supply. For
example, on a ±2.5-V split supply, the Vocm pin can be set anywhere from −1.56-V to 1.3-V. With a single 5-V
supply the valid range would be 0.94-V to 3.8-V. Remember, the outputs of the LMH5485-SP can swing from rail
to rail; the maximum output swing available, however, is reduced when the Vocm pin is set to a voltage other
than mid-supply.
If providing 50-Ω termination for the Vcm input signal source is desired, C6 can be populated with a 0-Ω resistor
and R5 populated with a 50-Ω resistor.
7.2 PD Input Connections
Adding a header and jumper at J5 allows for simple disabling of the LMH5485-SP. An SMA connector can also
be loaded at J4 to allow for a power-down signal to be applied for high-speed testing. Normally the J5 jumper
is used to enable or disable (power-down) the amplifier. When jumper J5 is open, the amplifier is not powered
down, so it is enabled. When the shorting block is connected and J5 is closed, the amplifier is powered down.
For high-speed testing, a 0-Ω resistor can be placed at C4 and a 50-Ω resistor at R6 to terminate the PD SMA
input. The shorting block should be removed from J5 during high-speed testing. This is because 0-Ω at C4
terminates to the ground and not to the supplies. The state of the amplifier will be undefined when the signal
source is disconnected. For this reason, 0-Ω at C4 should only be used when driving the SMA connector with a
high speed, controlled impedance source.
7.3 Using the Optional Differential Outputs (J6 and J7)
Figure 8-1 shows a recommended schematic configuration where balun T2 is used to convert the output to
single-ended. To reconfigure the LMH5485-SP-EVM for fully-differential outputs, remove resistors R19 and R20
to disconnect the balun from the amplifier output. If 50-Ω resistors are loaded in the R26 and R27 resistor
positions, and SMA connectors are loaded in the J6 and J7 connector positions, then J6 and J7 can be used
for fully-differential output signals. If 50-Ω test equipment is connected to J6 and J7, then the total load to the
amplifier is 200-Ω. The data sheet specifications were produced with a 500-Ω load. To match a 500-Ω load, load
R26 and R27 with 221-Ω resistors and then load R25 and R28 with 60.4-Ω resistors.
