ZHCSH86B December 2017 – February 2019 LMH5401-SP
PRODUCTION DATA.
This test is run with both single-ended inputs and differential inputs.
For tests with single-ended inputs, the standard EVM is used with no changes; see Figure 54. In order to provide a matched input, the unused input requires a broadband 50-Ω termination to be connected. When using a four-port network analyzer, the unused input can either be terminated with a broadband load, or can be connected to the unused input on the four-port analyzer. The network analyzer provides proper termination. A network analyzer is connected to the input and output of the EVM with 50-Ω coaxial cables and is set to measure the forward transfer function (s21). The input signal frequency is swept with the signal level set for the desired output amplitude.
The LMH5401-SP is fully symmetrical, either input (IN+ or IN–) can be used for single-ended inputs. The unused input must be terminated. RF, RG1, and RG2 determine the gain. RT and RM enable matching to the source resistance. See the Test Schematics section for more information on setting these resistors per gain and source impedance requirements. Bandwidth is dependant on gain settings because this device is a voltage feedback amplifier. With a GBP of 6.5 GHz, the approximate bandwidth can be calculated for a specific application requirement, as shown in Equation 2. Figure 55 illustrates a test schematic for differential input and output.
For tests with differential inputs, the same setup for single-ended inputs is used except all four connectors are connected to a network analyzer port. Measurements are made in either true differential mode on the Rohde & Schwarz® network analyzer or in calculated differential mode. In both cases, the differential inputs are each driven with a 50-Ω source. Table 2 and Table 3 list resistor values for various gain settings.
