Introduction
The THS6222RHFEVM is an evaluation module for the single THS6222 amplifier in the RHF package.
This evaluation module is designed to quickly and easily demonstrate the functionality and versatility of
the amplifier. The EVM is ready to connect to power, signal sources, and test instruments through the use
of onboard connectors. The EVM comes configured for easy connection with common 50-
Ω
laboratory
equipment on its inputs and outputs. The amplifier is configured for a differential input with a gain of 10
V/V to a differential output. The board includes jumpers to easily switch the device between different bias
modes and a potentiometer to set the value of the IADJ pin. The EVM can be easily configured for other
gains and for single- or split-supply operation. The output transformer and resistors are configured to
present a 50-
Ω
, single-ended output.

Power Connections
The THS6222RHFEVM is equipped with a wire socket for easy connection of power. The positive supply
input is labeled V+, the negative supply input is labeled V–, and ground (GND) is the unlabeled center
terminal of the power-supply connector.
2.1
Split-Supply Operation
To operate as a split supply, apply the positive supply voltage to V+, the negative supply voltage to V–,
and the ground reference from supply to GND.
2.2
Single-Supply Operation
To operate as a single supply, connect both the V– connector and the GND connector to ground and
apply the positive supply voltage to V+.
