performance, but it is intended to be a DC bias input
pin. Bypass capacitors are recommended on this pin
to reduce noise at the output. The external current
required to overdrive the internal resistor divider is
given by Equation 2:

Single-Supply Operation (3 V to 5 V)
To facilitate testing with common lab equipment, the
THS4513 EVM allows split-supply operation, and the
characterization data presented in this data sheet
was taken with split-supply power inputs. The device
easily can be used with a single-supply power input
without degrading the performance. Figure 63,
Figure 64, and Figure 65 show DC and AC-coupled
single-supply circuits with single-ended inputs. These
configurations all allow the input and output
common-mode voltage to be set to mid-supply
allowing for optimum performance. The information
presented here also can be applied to differential
input sources.
In Figure 63, the signal source is referenced to a
voltage derived from the CM pin via a unity-gain
wideband buffer such as the BUF602. V_CM is set to
mid-supply by THS4513 internal circuitry. R_T along
with the input impedance of the amplifier provides
input termination, which also is referenced to V_CM.
Note that R_S and R_T are added to the alternate input
from the signal input to balance the amplifier.
Alternately, one resistor can be used equal to the
combined value R_G+ R_S||R_T on this input. This is also
true of the circuits shown in Figure 64 and Figure 65.

In Figure 64 the source is referenced to ground and
so is the input termination resistor. R_PU is added to
the circuit to avoid violating the V_ICR of the op amp.
The proper value of resistor to add can be calculated
from Equation 3:

V_IC is the desired input common-mode voltage, V_CM =
CM, and R_IN = R_G+ R_S||R_T. To set to mid-supply,
make the value of R_PU = R_G+ R_S||R_T.
Table 3 is a modification of Table 1 to add the proper
values with R_PU assuming a 50 Ω source impedance
and setting the input and output common-mode
voltage to mid-supply.
There are two drawbacks to this configuration. One is
that it requires additional current from the power
supply. Using the values shown for a gain of 10 dB
requires 37 mA more current with 5 V supply, and 22
mA more current with 3 V supply.
The other drawback is this configuration also
increases the noise gain of the circuit. In the 10 dB
gain case, noise gain increases by a factor of 1.5.
