APPLICATION INFORMATION

The actual thermal performance achieved with the THS7001PWP/THS7002PWP in its PowerPAD package

depends on the application. In the example above, if the size of the internal ground plane is approximately

3 inches

More complete details of the PowerPAD installation process and thermal management techniques can be found

in the Texas Instruments technical brief, PowerPAD Thermally Enhanced Package. This document can be found

at the TI web site (www.ti.com) by searching on the key word PowerPAD. The document can also be ordered

through your local TI sales office. Refer to literature number SLMA002 when ordering.

evaluation board

An evaluation board is available both the THS7001 (literature number SLOP250) and for the THS7002

(literature number SLOP136). These boards has been configured for very low parasitic capacitance in order

to realize the full performance of the amplifiers. These EVM’s incorporate DIP switches to demonstrate the full

capabilities of the THS7001 and THS7002 independent of any digital control circuitry. For more information,

please refer to the THS7001 EVM User’s Guide (literature number SLOU057)and the THS7002 EVM User’s

Guide (literature number SLOU037). To order a evaluation board contact your local TI sales office or distributor.
