Introduction
The OPA1637 is a high-performance, low-noise, low total harmonic distortion (THD), fully differential
amplifier that can easily filter and drive fully differential audio signal chains from Texas Instruments. For a
full list of electrical characteristics, see the OPA1637 High-Performance, High-Voltage, Low -Noise, BurrBrown™ Fully Differential Amplifier data sheet.
The OPA1637EVM is configured by default in a second-order, low-pass, Butterworth filter configuration
with a gain of 5-V/V and a corner frequency of 30-kHz. Input and output connections are accessible using
SMA connectors and XLR audio connectors.

PCB Layout
The OPA1637EVM is a four-layer PCB design. Figure 2 to Figure 6 show the PCB layer illustrations.
The top layer consists of all analog signal path traces, and is poured with a solid ground plane. To
minimize second and other even-harmonic content, route traces as symmetrically as possible for both
positive and negative feedback pathways. Place feedback components in close proximity to the output and
input pins of the device. Position decoupling capacitors C7 and C12 on the top layer as close as possible
to the power-supply pins.
The second internal layer is a dedicated solid GND plane. Place independent vias at the ground
connection of every component to provide a low-impedance path to ground.
The third internal layer routes the power-supply connections.
The fourth layer routes the shutdown pin and VOCM pin connections.
