12.1 Device Support
12.1.1 Development Support
12.1.1.1 Demonstration Boards
A printed circuit board (PCB) is available to assist in the initial evaluation of circuit performance using the
VCA810. This evaluation board (EVM) is available free, as an unpopulated PCB delivered with descriptive
documentation. The summary information for this board is shown in the DEM-VCA-SO-1A user's guide.
12.1.1.2 Macromodels and Applications Support
Computer simulation of circuit performance using SPICE is often useful when analyzing the performance of
analog circuits and systems. This is particularly true for video and RF amplifier circuits where parasitic
capacitance and inductance can play a major role in circuit performance. A SPICE model for the VCA810 is
available through the TI web page. The applications group is also available for design assistance. The models
available from TI predict typical small-signal AC performance, transient steps, DC performance, and noise under
a wide variety of operating conditions. The models include the noise terms found in the electrical specifications of
the relevant product data sheet.
