DEMO MANUAL DC2443 LT6375 Configurable High Voltage Amplifier DESCRIPTION Demonstration Circuit 2443 is a Configurable High Voltage Amplifier featuring the LT®6375. This demo board translates a high common mode signal to an output related to a low voltage reference level. The demo circuit is equipped with jumpers to facilitate setting the pin-strapped internal divider ratio configuration. The LT6375 is unique in that it may be powered from a low voltage (down to 3.3V) while it accepts signals well outside the supply range. This device is also unusual in PERFORMANCE SUMMARY that it can operate with high supply voltages (up to 50V). Connection points are provided to wire the amplifier in other configurations besides the simple translator. The key performance characteristics of the LT6375 and DC2443 are shown in the Performance Summary table.

As a default on the demo circuit, the gain is 1.000 and includes pinstrappable common mode attenuations. Large vias and some spare pads are also provided so that other more specialized configurations can be evaluated, such as precision gain blocks or summing amplifiers. The demo circuit also includes connector footprints for user-furnished BNC connectors if cable connectivity is desired. QUICK START PROCEDURE Demonstration Circuit 2443 is easy to set up to evaluate the performance of the LT6375. Refer to Figure 1 for proper evaluation equipment setup and follow the procedure below: 3.Connect a voltmeter or oscilloscope probe to the OUT terminal, with the common connection or ground clip tied to GND. 1.Place jumpers in the following positions: Note: Generators will typically be referenced to earth ground. An AC “cheater” plug may be needed so that a deliberate offset can be introduced with another power supply. JP1 – JP4, JP6 – JP8 to the GND position JP5 to the SPLIT position 2. With power off, connect the power supply positive to V+, the supply negative to V– and the common to GND. The supply should be preset in the range of ±1.7V to ±25V. 2 4.Connect a signal source to the IN+ and IN–. 5. Turn on the power supplies. 6. Check for an output voltage that is a replica of the input source. dc2443f DEMO MANUAL DC2443 QUICK START PROCEDURE dc2443a F01 Figure 1.
