www.ti.com Circuit Description The schematics present various interface options between the amplifier and the ADC. Depending on the input frequencies of interest, further performance optimization can be had by designing a corresponding filter. In its default configuration, R43, R44, and C119 form a first-order, low-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 70 MHz. Figure 2 shows the performance of the ADS5545 using the THS4509 path. 10 1 0 −10 −20 −30 −40 −50 −60 −70 5 −80 3 x −90 4 −100 2 −110 −12

The individual layers are shown in Figure 4 through Figure 9. The layout features split analog and digital ground planes; however, similar performance can be had with careful layout using a single ground plane. Users can connect the analog and digital ground planes undern
