THS3491RGT Evaluation Module
This document provides information about the evaluation module of the amplifier under test. Additionally,
this document provides a good example of printed-circuit board (PCB) design for high-speed applications.
Remember the following points:
•
TI recommends initially reviewing the data sheet of the device under test.
•
Review the schematic and layout of the THS3491RGT EVM to determine the design techniques used
in the evaluation board.
•
The high-speed amplifier PCB design should be approached with care and special attention must be
provided to the board parasitic which impacts the overall system performance.
