Application Note 1880 ISL2853xEV2Z, ISL2863xEV2Z Evaluation Boards User Guide Introduction Input Common Mode Range The ISL2853xEV2Z and ISL2863xEV2Z boards allow simple evaluation of the ISL2853x and ISL2863x 5V zero drift programmable gain instrumentation amplifiers. The boards are designed with all necessary components to easily connect the high performance amplifier to an external signal and can operate from a single supply of +2.5V to +5.5V or dual supply of ±1.25V to ±2.75V. The ISL2853x and ISL2863x are designed using the 3 op-amp topology that has a first stage differential amplifier (gain) and second stage difference amplifier (common-mode rejection). Since the common-mode voltage is buffered in the first stage and eliminated in the second stage it is important not to saturate the output of the first stage. An input signal with high VCM will have limited gain range before saturation. Refer to ISL2853x, ISL2863x datasheet for more information on VCM vs VOUT limitations of the instrumentation amplifier. The ISL28533, ISL28534, ISL28535 are differential input, single-ended output instrumentation amplifiers. The ISL28633, ISL28634, ISL28635 are differential input, differential output instrumentation amplifiers, suited to drive differential ADCs. The amplifier can be programmed with 9 gain settings over a range of 1V/V to 1,000V/V using only two logic inputs. Refer to the ISL2853x, ISL2863x datasheet for more information on programming the gain of the instrumentation amplifier. VA+ and VA- Pinouts Unique to the ISL2853x and ISL2863x, instrumentation amplifiers are the outputs of the first stage differential amplifier pinned out of the device called VA+ and VA- for the INA+ and INAinputs respectively. As the common mode voltage is buffered, the VA pins can be used to sense the input VCM. This is important for sensor applications that may want to track the VCM voltage for sensor health monitor. Refer to ISL2853x, ISL2863x datasheet for more information on monitoring the input VCM. Getting Started • Connect power supply to V+ and V- pins. Single supply +2.5V to +5V. Dual supply ±1.25V to ±2.5V. • Connect voltage to REF pin for setting output reference. The board has 1kΩ resistors to V+ and V- to preset the output reference voltage to midscale of supply voltage. • Set gain of instrumentation amplifier by setting the G0 and G1 gain switches into proper state as shown in Table 2. • Connect differential input voltage to left side of the eval board. • Measure output voltage of instrumentation amplifier on right side of the evaluation board. • *IMPORTANT* For the ISL2853xEV2Z boards, the additional op amp inputs (AMP IN+ and AMP IN-) are floating. If the op amp is not used, for proper operation place a 0Ω at R22 and terminate AMP IN+ to ground through C14 or TP8.

KEY PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION The ISL2853x and ISL2863x family of instrumentation amplifiers offer very low offset, noise and offset drift using zero drift amplifier circuitry. With precision matched internal gain resistors these amplifiers offer high gain accuracy while reducing the need for additional external resistors in applications that need different gain settings. Combined with rail-to-rail input and output, the ISL2853x and ISL2863x instrumentation amplifiers are ideal for single supply low noise, high precision amplification and signal conditioning.
