APPLICATION CIRCUITS
The following circuits show application information for the THS4531A. For simplicity, power supply decoupling
capacitors are not shown in these diagrams – please see the EVM and Layout Recommendations section for
recommendations. For more detail on the use and operation of fully differential op amps refer to application
report “Fully-Differential Amplifiers” SLOA054D.
Differential Input to Differential Output Amplifier
The THS4531A is a fully differential op amp and can be used to amplify differential input signals to differential
output signals. A basic block diagram of the circuit is shown in Figure 74 (V_OCM and PD inputs not shown). The
gain of the circuit is set by R_F divided by R_G.

Single-Ended Input to Differential Output Amplifier
The THS4531A can also be used to amplify and convert single-ended input signals to differential output signals.
A basic block diagram of the circuit is shown in Figure 75 (V_OCM and PD inputs not shown). The gain of the
circuit is again set by R_F divided by R_G.

Fully differential op amps like the THS4531A are not recommended for differential to single-ended conversion.
This application is best performed with an instrumentation amplifier or with a standard op amp configured as a
classic differential amplifier. See application section of the OPA835 data sheet (SLOS713).
