APPLICATION INFORMATION

theory of operation

The THS402x is a high-speed, operational amplifier configured in a voltage feedback architecture. It is built

using a 30-V, dielectrically isolated, complementary bipolar process with NPN and PNP transistors possessing

fTs of several GHz. This results in an exceptionally high performance amplifier that has a wide bandwidth, high

slew rate, fast settling time, and low distortion. A simplified schematic is shown in Figure 30.

noise calculations and noise figure

Noise can cause errors on very small signals. This is especially true when amplifying small signals, where

signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is very important. The noise model for the THS402x is shown in Figure 31. This

model includes all of the noise sources as follows:

• e

n = Amplifier internal voltage noise (nV/√Hz)

• IN+ = Noninverting current noise (pA/√Hz)

• IN– = Inverting current noise (pA/√Hz)

• e

Rx = Thermal voltage noise associated with each resistor (eRx = 4 kTRx )
