APPLICATION INFORMATION

theory of operation

Each section of the THS7001 and THS7002 consists of a pair of high speed operational amplifiers configured

in a voltage feedback architecture. They are built using a 30-V, dielectrically isolated, complementary bipolar

performance amplifiers that have a wide bandwidth, high slew rate, fast settling time, and low distortion. A

simplified schematic of the preamplifiers are shown in Figure 51.

noise calculations and noise figure

Noise can cause errors on very small signals. This is especially true for the preamplifiers, which typically amplify

small signals. The noise model is shown in Figure 52. This model includes all of the noise sources as follows:
