DEMO MANUAL DC2551A
LT1997
Configurable Precision Amplifier
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration Circuit 2551A is a Configurable Precision
Amplifier featuring the LT®1997.
The DC2551A-A supports the LT1997-3 version.
The DC2551A-B supports the LT1997-2 version. The
DC2551A-C supports the LT1997-1 version.
This demo board provides a rapid evaluation tool with
jumpers providing the typical interconnection options that
facilitate setting the pin-strapped internal gain configuration. The LT1997 is unusual in that it may be powered
from a low voltage (down to 3.3V) while it accepts signals
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
well outside the supply range. This device also supports
particularly high supply voltages, up to 50V. Connection
points are provided to wire the amplifier in other configurations besides those possible with the jumpers alone.
The key performance characteristics of the LT1997-3
and DC2551A-A are shown in the Performance
Summary below.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES
The LT1997 family op amps include integrated precision resistors for providing many useful high accuracy
functions with minimal external components. The default
configuration of the demo circuit is a difference amplifier
structure with gain set to minimum and the output referenced to mid-supply. Refer to the LT1997 data sheets
for tabulations of various practical circuit configurations
that can be implemented, many of which are easily created by jumper relocation on the demo board. Large vias
and some spare pads are also provided so that other
more specialized configurations can be evaluated, such
as AC-coupled gain blocks or summing amplifiers. The
demo circuit also provides connector footprints for userfurnished BNC connectors if cable connectivity is desired.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 2551A is easy to set up to evaluate
the performance of the LT1997. Refer to Figure 1 for a
suitable 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:
4. Connect a signal source to the +IN and –IN.
JP1, JP2 to the ENable position
NOTE: Generators will typically be referenced to earth
ground. An AC ‘cheater’ plug may be needed if a deliberate offset is to be introduced with another power
supply.
JP6 to the –IN position
JP7 to the +IN position
JP11-JP13 to the SPLIT position as shown (JP11
and JP12 should generally be positioned as a set).
JP3-JP5, JP8-JP10 should be removed or connected
to just one of their posts.
5. Turn on the power supplies.
6. Check for an output voltage that is a replica of the input
signal processed with the appropriate gain.
2. With power off, connect the power supply positive
to +V, the supply negative to –V, and the common to
GND. The supplies should be preset in the range of
±1.7V to ±25V.
