THS4513 and ADS5500 Combined Performance
Figure 85 shows the two-tone FFT of the THS4513
and ADS5500 circuit with 65 MHz and 70 MHz input
The THS4513 is designed to be a high-performance

like the ADS5500 14-bit 125-MSPS ADC. Figure 84
shows a circuit combining the two devices. The
THS4513 amplifier circuit provides 10 dB of gain,
converts the single-ended input to differential, and
sets the proper input common-mode voltage to the
ADS5500. The 100-Ω resistors and 2.7-pF capacitor
between the THS4513 outputs and ADS5500 inputs
along with the input capacitance of the ADS5500 limit
the bandwidth of the signal to 115 MHz (–3 dB). For
testing, a signal generator is used for the signal
source. The generator is an ac-coupled 50-Ω source.
A band-pass filter is inserted in series with the input
to reduce harmonics and noise from the signal
source. Input termination is accomplished via the
69.8-Ω resistor and 0.22-μF capacitor to ground in
conjunction with the input impedance of the amplifier
circuit. A 0.22-μF capacitor and 49.9-Ω resistor is
inserted to ground across the 69.8-Ω resistor and

As before, the THS4513 amplifier provides 10 dB of
common-mode of the ADS5500 to the recommended
gain, converts the single-ended input to differential,

the same as described above for the THS4513 and
ADS5500 circuit.
The 225-Ω resistors and 2.7-pF capacitor between
the THS4513 outputs and ADS5424 inputs (along
with the input capacitance of the ADC) limit the
bandwidth of the signal to about 100 MHz (–3 dB).
Since the ADS5424 recommended input common-
mode voltage is 2.4 V, the THS4513 is operated from
