ISL28218SOICEVAL1Z Evaluation Board User’s Guide
Introduction
Power Supplies (Figure 1)
The ISL28218SOICEVAL1Z evaluation board is designed to
evaluate the performance of the ISL28218 40V Precision
Low Power Operational Amplifier. The ISL28218 is a single
supply rail-to-rail output, dual amplifier with ground sensing
inputs that allow the common mode input voltage to swing
0.5V below the V- rail. The ISL28218 can operate from a
single or dual supply with a 3V to 40V supply range. The
ISL28218 features very low power, low offset voltage and
low temperature drift making them ideal for applications for
precision medical and instrumentation, current sensing and
power supply and industrial process controls.
External power connections are made through the V+,
V-, VREF, and GND connections on the evaluation board.
The circuit can operate from a single supply or from dual
supplies. For single supply operation, the V- and GND
pins are tied together to the negative or ground
reference of the power supply. For split supplies, V+ and
V- terminals connect to their respective supply terminals.
De-coupling capacitors C2 and C4 provide low-frequency
power-supply filtering, while additional capacitors, C3
and C5, which are connected close to the part, filter out
high frequency noise. Anti-reverse diode D1 (optional)
protects 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, or can
be externally set to any reference level for single supply
operation.

Amplifier Configuration
(Figure 3)
User-selectable Options
(Figures 3 and 4)
The schematic of the op amp input stage with the
components supplied is shown in Figure 3, with a closed
loop gain of 10V/V. The differential amplifier gain is
expressed in Equation 1:
Component pads are included to enable a variety of
user-selectable circuits to be added to the amplifier
inputs, the VREF input, outputs and the amplifier
feedback loops.
(EQ. 1)
V OUT = ( V IN+ – V IN- ) • ( R F ⁄ R IN ) + V REF
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 can be connected to a reference voltage
between the V+ and V- supply rails. For non-inverting
operation with G = 11V/V, the IN- input is grounded and
the signal is supplied to the IN+ input. 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 R5 pad.

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.

A voltage divider (Figure 3, R18 and R15) can be added
to establish a power supply-tracking common mode
reference using the VREF input. The inverting and

for adding input attenuation, or to establish input DC
offsets through the VREF pin.
