ISL281X7SOICEVAL1Z Evaluation Board User’s Guide
Introduction
tied together to the power supply negative terminal. For
split supplies, +V and -V terminals connect to their
respective power supply terminals. De-coupling
capacitors C2 and C4 connect close to their respective
supplies, while two additional capacitors, C1 and C5, are
connected close to the part to filter out high frequency
noise. Anti-reverse diodes D1 and D2 protect the circuit
in the case of accidental polarity reversal.
The ISL281X7SOICEVAL1Z evaluation board is a design
platform containing all the circuitry needed to
characterize critical performance parameters of the
ISL281X7 operational amplifiers in SOIC-8 package,
using a variety of user defined test circuits.

The ISL281X7SOICEVAL1Z is designed to enable the IC
to operate from a single supply, +4.5VDC to +40VDC or
from split supplies, ±2.25VDC to ±20V. The board is
configured for a single op amp connected for differential
input with a closed loop gain of 10. A single external
reference voltage (VREF) pin and provisions for a
user-selectable voltage divider-filter are included.

FIGURE 1. POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
Amplifier Configuration (Figure 2)
The schematic of 1/2 of the op-amp with the components
supplied is shown in Figure 2. The circuit implements a
differential input amp with a closed loop gain of 10. The
circuit can operate from a single supply or from dual
supplies. The VREF pin must be connected to ground to
establish a ground referenced input for dual supply
operation, or can be externally set to any reference level for
single supply operation. VREF should not be left floating.
Power Supplies (Figure 1)
External power connections are made through the +V, -V,
VREF and Ground connections on the evaluation board.
For single supply operation, the -V and Ground pins are

User-selectable Options
(Figures 3 and 4)
The outputs (Figure 4) have additional resistor and
capacitor placements for filtering and loading.
Component pads are included to enable a variety of
user-selectable circuits to be added to the amplifier
VREF, inputs, outputs, and the amplifier feedback
loops. The Inputs (Figure 3) have additional resistor
and capacitor, and jumper placements for loading
and/or measurement of frequency sensitive
parameters.

NOTE: Operational amplifiers are sensitive to output
capacitance and may oscillate. In the event of
oscillation, reduce output capacitance by using shorter
cables, or add a resistor in series with the output.
