ISL70419SEHEV1Z Evaluation Board User Guide
Introduction
Power Supply Connections
The ISL70419SEHEV1Z evaluation platform is designed to
evaluate the ISL70419SEH. The ISL70419SEH contains four
very high precision amplifiers featuring the perfect combination
of low noise vs power consumption vs radiation hardness,
providing highly reliable performance in harsh radiation
environments. Its excellent noise characteristics coupled with
a unique array of dynamic specifications make this amplifier
well-suited for a variety of satellite system applications.
Manufactured in Intersil’s PR40, silicon on insulator, BiCMOS
process makes this device immune to Single-Event Latch-up.

Figure 1 demonstrates the power supply connections,
decoupling and protection circuitry. External power
connections are made through the V+, V-, VREF, and GND
banana jack connections on the evaluation board. Decoupling
capacitors C2 and C26 provide low-frequency power-supply
filtering, while additional capacitors, C1, C3, C4 and C5 which
are connected close to the part, filter out high frequency noise
and are connected to their respective supplies through R37
and R48 resistors. These resistors are 0Ω but can be changed
by the user to provide additional power supply filtering, or to
reduce the supply voltage rate-of-rise time. Anti-reverse diodes
D1 and D2 protect the circuit in the momentary case of
accidentally reversing the power supplies to the evaluation
board. The VREF pin can be connected to ground to establish a
ground referenced input for split supply operation.

A voltage divider can be added to establish a power
supply-tracking common mode reference using the VREF input.
The inverting and non-inverting inputs have additional resistor
and capacitor placements for adding input attenuation or
feedback capacitors (Figure 3).

For single-ended input with an inverting gain G = -10V/V, the IN+
input is grounded and the signal is supplied to the IN- input. VREF
must be connected to a reference voltage between the V+ and Vsupply rails. For non-inverting operation with G = 11V/V, the
negative input (IN-) is grounded and the signal is supplied to the
positive input (IN+). The non-inverting gain is strongly dependent
on any resistance from IN- to GND. For good gain accuracy, a 0Ω
resistor should be installed on the empty R11 pad.

A simplified schematic of the evaluation board is shown in
Figure 2. The input stage for channel A with the components
supplied, is shown in Figure 3. The circuit implements a Hi-Z
differential input with unbalanced common mode impedance.
The differential amplifier gain is expressed in Equation 1:
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.
