DEM-OPA368xE ® EVALUATION FIXTURE DESCRIPTION The DEM-OPA368xE demonstration board is an unpopulated printed circuit board (PCB) for the high speed triple op amps with disable available in SSOP-16 packages. The DEM-OPA368xE supports BurrBrown’s OPA3680E, OPA3681E, and OPA3682E. Figure 1 shows the package pinout for this PCB. For more information on these op amps, and good PCB layout techniques, see the individual op amp data sheets. The ordering number for this board is MKT-354. Limit of 5 per customer. CIRCUIT The circuit schematic in Figure 2 shows the connections for all possible components. Each model will only use some of the components. Top View COMPONENTS Components that have RF performance similar to the ones in Table I may be substituted. R1 and R7 set the I/O impedance, R2 - R6 set the gain, R8 and C8 set up the disable pin, and C1 - C7 are supply bypass capacitors. C3 is optional; it adds a bypass between the supplied, which improves distortion performance for some models. L1 - L2 are ferrite chips that can reduce interactions with the power supply at high frequencies; if not desired, they can be replaced with 0Ω resistors. For single supply operation, do not connect L2; otherwise, the –VS input to P1 would be at ground potential.

November, 1999 BOARD LAYOUT This demonstration board is a two-layer PCB. It uses a ground plane on the bottom and signal and power traces on the top. The ground plane has been opened up around op amp pins sensitive to capacitive loading. Power supply traces are laid out to keep current loop areas to a minimum. The SMA (or SMB) connectors may be mounted either vertically or horizontally. Disable Pins—Pins 16, 3 and 6 disable op amps A, B and C when low. Table II shows different ways to set up these pins’ voltages. CONFIGURATION R8 C6 External Source On Off 49.9Ω Open 0Ω Open 0.1µF Open The location and type of capacitors used for power-supply bypassing are crucial to high frequency amplifiers. The tantalum capacitors, C1 and C2, do not need to be as close to the supply pins on your PCB and may be shared with other amplifiers. TABLE II. Disable Pin—OPA368xE.

MEASUREMENT TIPS This demonstration board, and the component values shown, are designed to operate in a 50Ω environment. Most data sheet plots are obtained this way. It is easy to change the component values for different input and output impedance levels. NOTE: The I/O impedances are 50Ω. Do not use high impedance probes; they represent a heavy capacitive load to the op amps, and will alter their response. Instead, use low impedance (≤ 500Ω) probes with adequate bandwidth. The probe input capacitance and resistance set an upper limit on the measurement bandwidth. If a high impedance probe must be used, place a 100Ω resistor on the probe tip to isolate its capacitance from the circuit. TABLE III. OPA3680E. OPA3681E—Table IV shows typical values for this part.
