DIFFAMP-EVM

User's Guide SBOU211 – October 2018 Universal Difference Amplifier Evaluation Module This user's guide describes the characteristics and operation of the universal difference amplifier evaluation module (EVM) that is compatible with all standard pinout difference amplifiers. The EVM is designed to evaluate the performance of these devices in a variety of common configurations and supports both single and dual-supply operation. The amplifier interfaces with the board through a DIP socket, allowing evaluation of any amplifier package with a DIP adapter board. A breakaway DIP adapter section is included to accommodate both SOIC-8 and VSSOP-8 style packages. This document includes the schematic, printed circuit board (PCB) layouts, and BOM. Throughout this document the terms evaluation board, evaluation module, and EVM are synonymous with the Universal Diff-Amp EVM. Note this EVM is not compatible with fully differential amplifiers. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Contents Overview .....................................................................................................................

The EVM provides the following features: • • • • • 1.2 Breakaway DIP adapter boards for evaluation of multiple packages and easy comparison of devices Intuitive layout for setting jumpers Easy access to nodes with surface-mount test points Reference voltage source flexibility Support for a variety of configurations as a diff amp, current source, or precision inverting/non-inverting amplifier Diff-amp Pinout This EVM is intended to evaluate diff-amps that have the pinout shown in Figure 1. Pin 8 is normally a no connect pin, but some devices provide an additional reference input at this pin. Pin 8 is tied to ground on the EVM, so these devices may also be tested but an additional reference is not supported. If it is desired to evaluate an amplifier with a pinout different than that in Figure 1 than a custom DIP adapter board will be required.

These test points power both the socketed diff-amp and the onboard reference amplifier. The board is initially populated with an OPA207 as the reference amplifier, but if a different device is used then take care that the new device can operate with the same supply as the diff-amp. 4.2 Inputs Inputs are applied to the device using test points VIN+ and VIN-. Alternately, they can be applied at banana jacks J3 and J5. This is recommended if high currents will flow through the input. The jacks are spaced a 1/4 inch apart to interface with standard connectors. Two footprints are provided at the input for shunt resistors if it is desired to test an amplifier for a current sense application. Additionally, footprints are provided for edge mount SMA connectors for easily interfacing with other EVMs or test equipment. 4.3 Output The output of the circuit may be accessed through test point VO or by adding an SMA connector at J23. 4.3.1 Output Filtering RO and CO provide the ability to apply a single-pole RC output filter. Care must be taken not to overload the output with excess capacitance, as this could lead to stability issues. The cutoff frequency of the output filter is calculated as shown in Equation 1: 1 fc-o = 2S u RO u CO (1) 4.4 Reference There are multiple methods of applying a reference voltage to the device. The reference voltage is set by J9, which either connects the reference to ground or ties it to the output of the reference buffer. The reference buffer is initially configured to generate a rail at mid-supply for single supply operation. Alternatively, this jumper can be left unconnected and the desired voltage can be applied directly to the VREF test point. It is also possible to connect J7 and configure the reference buffer as an integrator to ac couple the output as shown in Figure 6. 4.5 Miscellaneous C1, C2, C3, and C4 are the supply bypass capacitors for the device and are pre-populated with 0.1 µF and 0.01µF capacitors that usually provide adequate power supply bypassing for U1. Refer to the difference amplifier data sheet for further information. Similarly, C5, C6, C7, and C8 provide supply bypassing for U2. Refer to the buffer amplifier data sheet for further information. 5 Configurations 5.1 Difference Amplifier This EVM allows for many jumper-selectable configurations. Pins 1, 2, 3, and 5 of the amplifier are routed to headers that allow the user to define what connections are made to the internal resistors. Note it is always necessary for either pin 2 or pin 5 to route to the output to ensure closed loop operation with negative feedback. Figure 5 shows several ways to configure the jumpers and the associated transfer function. The exact gain depends on the ratio of resistors used in the selected difference amplifier. If the resistors in the difference amplifier are not all equal, then reciprocal gains can be achieved in each configuration as shown in the top two figures.

In the default configuration the amplifier operates as a supply splitter, dividing the positive supply voltage in half and buffering it for single supply operation. 5.2.1 Buffered Reference Voltage Connection A buffered-reference configuration is useful when the source impedance is high (for example, a voltage divider). Buffering a high-impedance source with an operational amplifier provides a low-impedance source and preserves common-mode rejection. The reference amplifier voltage is derived from the positive power supply and can be adjusted by changing the R5 and R6. 5.2.2 AC Coupled Output It is possible to generate an ac coupled output by feeding the output of the diff-amp through an integrator and back to the reference pin. The output of the integrator will drive the reference such that the dc voltage at the output of the diff-amp matches the voltage applied to the non-inverting terminal of the reference amplifier. R5 can be removed if it is desired to ground the input of the amplifier in dual supply operation. The cutoff frequency will be set by the RC time constant of the integrator. This is sometimes preferable to using ac coupling capacitors at the input because capacitors tend to have wide tolerance ranges and mismatch in these capacitors can degrade the common-mode rejection of the amplifier. This can be implemented by placing a jumper on J7, removing R3, and populating R4 and C9 as shown in Figure 6. Ra Rb 5 ± 2 6 VIN- Vout + 3 1 C9 J7 VIN+ Ra Rb R4 ± + R6 Figure 6.

This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed in the user guide with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. Concernant les EVMs avec antennes détachables Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante. Le présent émetteur radio a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés dans le manuel d’usage et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur 3.3 Japan 3.3.1 Notice for EVMs delivered in Japan: Please see http://www.tij.co.jp/lsds/ti_ja/general/eStore/notice_01.page 日本国内に 輸入される評価用キット、ボードについては、次のところをご覧ください。 http://www.tij.co.jp/lsds/ti_ja/general/eStore/notice_01.page 3.3.2 Notice for Users of EVMs Considered “Radio Frequency Products” in Japan: EVMs entering Japan may not be certified by TI as conforming to Technical Regulations of Radio Law of Japan.
