Description
The TI THS7001 programmable-gain amplifier evaluation module (EVM) is a
complete low-noise receiver and a highly configurable programmable-gain
amplifier circuit. It consists of the TI THS7001 programmable-gain amplifier IC
and a number of passive parts, all mounted on a multilayer circuit board
(Figure 1–1).
Although the THS7001 IC was developed primarily for xDSL receiver
front-ends, a large number of different circuits can benefit from the many
features incorporated into the THS7001. This EVM illustrates a universal
design and can be used for numerous system configurations.
The EVM uses standard BNC connectors for inputs and outputs and also
includes test points for user connections and testing. It is completely
assembled, fully tested, and ready to use—just connect it to power, a signal
source, and a load (if desired).
