DS51667A-page 5 MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 1 User’s Guide 1.3 MICROCHIP’S WEB-BASED MINDI™ ANALOG SIMULATOR The Mindi™ Analog Simulator tool is an innovative software tool that simplifies analog circuit design. The Mindi™ Analog Simulator tool supports the following application circuits: 1) Active Filters, 2) Amplifiers, 3) Battery Chargers, and 4) DC-to-DC Converters. The Mindi™ Amplifier Designer provides full schematic diagrams of the amplifier application circuit with recommended component values and displays the responses in frequency and time domains. The Mindi™ Analog Simulator tool is a free web-based design tool available on the Microchip web site at http://www.microchip.com under “Online Simulation Tools” or by going directly to the Mindi™ web site at http://www.microchip.com/mindi. The circuit simulator within the Mindi™ Analog Simulator tool can be downloaded and installed on a personal computer (PC) for more convenient simulations. Modified circuit files can also be downloaded to the PC. 1.4 MCP6XXX AMPLIFIER EVALUATION BOARD 1 DESCRIPTION The MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 1 is designed to support inverting/non-inverting amplifiers, voltage follower, inverting/non-inverting comparators, inverting/non-inverting differentiators. However, at this time, the Mindi™ Amplifier Designer does not support the non-inverting comparator or the non-inverting differentiator. MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 1 has the following features: • All amplifier resistors and capacitors are socketed • All of the component labels on board keep consistent with those on schematic generated in the Mindi™ Amplifier Designer • Supports all Microchip single op amps - PDIP-8 package (e.g., MCP6021) are socketed - SOIC-8 package can be accommodated; see Section 2.4.3 “Amplifier Modification: Using 8-Pin SOIC Op Amps” • Test points for connecting lab equipment • Single supply configuration Figure 1-2 shows the block diagram of the MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 1. Lab equipment can be attached (via test points) to measure the amplifier response.

Installation and Operation 2.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter shows how to set up the MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 1 and verify its operation. This chapter includes the following topics: • Required Tools • MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 1 Set-Up • MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 1 Operation 2.2 REQUIRED TOOLS • Lab power supply • Lab signal source (e.g., function generator) • Lab measurement equipment (e.g., oscilloscope) 2.3 MCP6XXX AMPLIFIER EVALUATION BOARD 1 SET-UP The MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 1 is designed to support inverting/non-inverting amplifiers, voltage follower, inverting/non-inverting comparators, inverting/non-inverting differentiators At this time, the Mindi™ Amplifier Designer does not support the non-inverting comparator or the non-inverting differentiator. This section details the conversion of these topologies to the MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 1. Figure 2-1 shows the circuit diagram for the board.

MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 1 Circuit Diagram. DS51667A-page 7 MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 1 User’s Guide The power supply voltage should be in the allowed range for the installed op amps. Any of Microchip’s op amps that operate below 5.5V can be used. Moreover, power supply is protected by a zener diode with nominal voltage 6.2V and bypassed by a 1.0 µF capacitor. (See Figure 2-3: “Power Supply Block.”) The mid-supply reference consists of a voltage divider and a buffer amplifier. (See Figure 2-4: “Mid-Supply Reference Block.”) The resistors and capacitors that are part of an amplifier are placed in pin sockets which are labeled. All of the component labels on board keep consistent with those on schematic generated in the Mindi™ Amplifier Designer. The op amps are bypassed by 0.1 µF capacitors and the single op amp U1 can have either a PDIP-8 or SOIC-8 package. • PDIP-8 packages are inserted into the DIP-8 socket to the right of the U1 label • SOIC-8 packages can be accommodated; see Section 2.4.3 “Amplifier Modification: Using 8-Pin SOIC Op Amps” The (surface mount) test points for power supply, ground, input signal and output signal allow lab equipment to be connected to the board.

A MCP6021 op amp, 1% resistors, and 5% capacitors were used. Notice how close the measured and simulated data are. 2.4.2.2.1 Step Response In Bench Measurement: • Set VIN with a step amplitude of 2.0V and a center voltage of 2.5V. (i.e. VIN starts 1.0V below center and ends 1.0V above center. • The measured step response is shown in Figure 2-25. It is a signal with a step amplitude of 4.0V and an center voltage of 2.5V. (i.e. VOUT starts 2.0V below center and ends 2.0V above center. Note: The center voltage of VIN is set at VREF =VDD/2 (For VDD = 5.0V, VREF = 2.5V) VOUT = 4.5V VIN = 3.5V VREF = 2.5V FIGURE 2-25: DS51667A-page 22 Measured Step Response. © 2007 Microchip Technology Inc.

Figure 2-29 shows a SOIC-8 op amp soldered onto the MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 1. FIGURE 2-29: Op Amp in SOIC-8 package soldered onto the MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 1. Figure 2-30 shows a SOIC-8 op amp and a DIP-8 socket, soldered onto the 8-Pin SOIC/MSOP/TSSOP/DIP Evaluation Board available from Microchip Technology Inc (order # SOIC8EV). The two interconnect strips on the bottom are Samtec part # BBS-14-T-B or equivalent and are soldered into the through holes for the DIP-8 socket. Figure 2-31 shows the SOIC8EV board plugged into the MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 1. Note: DS51667A-page 26 Insert the interconnect strips into the DIP-8 socket on the MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 1. Place the SOIC8EV board on the top of the interconnect strips with the same pin orientation. Now solder the strips to the top board; this procedure ensures correct alignment of the strips. Clip the pins flush with the top surface of the SOIC8EV board, then solder the SOIC-8 op amp on the top. © 2007 Microchip Technology Inc.
