Application Note 1508 ISL281X7SOICEVAL1Z Evaluation Board User’s Guide Introduction tied together to the power supply negative terminal. For split supplies, +V and -V terminals connect to their respective power supply terminals. De-coupling capacitors C2 and C4 connect close to their respective supplies, while two additional capacitors, C1 and C5, are connected close to the part to filter out high frequency noise. Anti-reverse diodes D1 and D2 protect the circuit in the case of accidental polarity reversal. The ISL281X7SOICEVAL1Z evaluation board is a design platform containing all the circuitry needed to characterize critical performance parameters of the ISL281X7 operational amplifiers in SOIC-8 package, using a variety of user defined test circuits. VREF J11 J10 V+ J9 V- J13 Reference Documents J8 J7 The ISL281X7 operational amplifiers feature low bias current, low noise, and low offset and temperature drift. • ISL28107 Data Sheet, FN6631 C2 C4 4.7µF D1 4.7µF D2 S1AB The ISL281X7SOICEVAL1Z is designed to enable the IC to operate from a single supply, +4.5VDC to +40VDC or from split supplies, ±2.25VDC to ±20V. The board is configured for a single op amp connected for differential input with a closed loop gain of 10. A single external reference voltage (VREF) pin and provisions for a user-selectable voltage divider-filter are included.

POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT Amplifier Configuration (Figure 2) The schematic of 1/2 of the op-amp with the components supplied is shown in Figure 2. The circuit implements a differential input amp with a closed loop gain of 10. The circuit can operate from a single supply or from dual supplies. The VREF pin must be connected to ground to establish a ground referenced input for dual supply operation, or can be externally set to any reference level for single supply operation. VREF should not be left floating. Power Supplies (Figure 1) External power connections are made through the +V, -V, VREF and Ground connections on the evaluation board. For single supply operation, the -V and Ground pins are RF ISL281X7 100kΩ IN RININ- VP IN- V+ 10kΩ RIN+ IN+ IN + VCM VREF VREF IN+ 10kΩ 0Ω VOUT V+ VM RREF+ RL 100kΩ DNP GND FIGURE 2.
