ISL281x6EVAL1Z Evaluation Board User’s Guide

Introduction

The ISL281x6EVAL1Z evaluation board is a design platform

containing all the circuitry needed to characterize critical

performance parameters of the ISL281x6 operational

amplifiers, using a variety of user defined test circuits.

The ISL28136 and ISL28146 high-speed operational

amplifiers feature low power consumption, while ISL28156

and ISL28166 operational amplifiers feature ultra-low power

consumption. All op amps have rail-to-rail output drive

capability and are designed to operate with a single lithium

cell or two Ni_Cd batteries.

Evaluation Board Key Features

The ISL281x6EVAL1Z is designed to enable the IC to

operate from a single supply, +2.4VDC to +5.5VDC or from

split supplies, ±1.2VDC to ±2.75V. The board is configured

for a single op amp connected for differential input with a

closed loop gain of 10. It also contains a single external

reference voltage (VREF) pin and provisions for a

user-selectable voltage divider (filter are included).

Power Supplies (Figure 1)

External power connections are made through the V+, V-

and Ground connections on the evaluation board. For single

supply operation, the V- and Ground pins are 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 C

and C

connect to

ground through R

and R

0Ω resistors. Resistors R

and

are 0Ω but can be changed by the user to provide

additional power supply filtering, or to reduce the voltage

rate-of-rise to less than ±1V/µs. Two additional capacitors,

and C

are connected close to the part to filter out high

frequency noise. Anti-reverse diodes D

and D

protect the

circuit in the case of accidental polarity reversal.

Amplifier Configuration (Figure 2)

The schematic 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 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.

User-selectable Options (Figures 3 and 4)

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.

A voltage divider and filter option (Figure 3) can be added to

establish a power supply-tracking common mode reference

at the VREF input. The inverting and non-inverting inputs

have additional resistor placements for adding input

attenuation, or to establish input DC offsets through the

VREF pin.

The output (Figure 4) has a 10kΩ load resistor to ground,

and has additional resistor and capacitor placements for

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.
