APPLICATION INFORMATION
APPLICATIONS
The following circuits show application information for
the THS4513. For simplicity, power supply decoupling
capacitors are not shown in these diagrams. Please
see the THS4513 EVM section for recommendations.
For more detail on the use and operation of fully
differential op amps refer to application report
Fully-Differential Amplifiers (SLOA054) .
Differential Input to Differential Output Amplifier
The THS4513 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 60 (CM input not
shown). The gain of the circuit is set by R_F divided by
R_G.

Depending on the source and load, input and output
termination can be accomplished by adding R_IT and
R_O.
Single-Ended Input to Differential Output
Amplifier
The THS4513 can 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 61 (CM input not shown). The gain of the
circuit is again set by R_F divided by R_G.

Input Common-Mode Voltage Range
The input common-mode voltage of a fully differential
op amp is the voltage at the '+' and '–' input pins of
the op amp.
It is important to not violate the input common-mode
voltage range (V_ICR) of the op amp. Assuming the op
amp is in linear operation, the voltage across the
input pins is only a few millivolts at most. So finding
the voltage at one input pin will determine the input
common-mode voltage of the op amp.
Treating the negative input as a summing node, the
voltage is given by Equation 1:
V_IC

R_G + R_F

ççèæ ^VIN-

÷÷øö

To determine the V_ICR of the op amp, the voltage at
the negative input is evaluated at the extremes of
V_OUT+.
As the gain of the op amp increases, the input
common-mode voltage becomes closer and closer to
the input common-mode voltage of the source.
Setting the Output Common-Mode Voltage
The output common-mode voltage is set by the
voltage at the CM pin(s). The internal common-mode
control circuit maintains the output common-mode
voltage within 3 mV offset (typ) from the set voltage,
when set within 0.5 V of mid-supply, with less than
4 mV differential offset voltage. If left unconnected,
the common-mode set point is set to mid-supply by
internal circuitry, which may be over-driven from an
external source. Figure 62 is representative of the
CM input. The internal CM circuit has about 700 MHz
of –3 dB bandwidth, which is required for best
