MAX9633 Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX9633
General Description
The MAX9633 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven
design to evaluate the MAX9633 dual, low-noise, lowdistortion op amp that is optimized to drive ADCs
for use in applications from DC to a few MHz. The
exceptionally fast settling time and low input offset
voltage make the device an excellent solution to drive
high-resolution 12-bit to 18-bit SAR ADCs. The EV kit
circuit is configured as a unity-gain buffer, but can
easily be adapted by installing shunts and changing a
few components to support multiple op-amp configurations: transimpedance, noninverting, inverting, or differential amplifier. The components on the EV kit have pads
that accommodate 0805 packages, making them easy to
solder and replace. The EV kit accepts a +4.5V to +36V
single-supply voltage, or a Q2.25V to Q18V dual-supply
voltage.

Procedure
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps
below to verify board operation:
1) Connect the positive terminal of the +15V supply to
the VCC pad, and the GND terminal to the GND pad.
Connect the negative terminal of the -15V supply to
the VEE pad, and the GND terminal to the GND pad.
The power supplies should be off.
2) Connect the positive terminal of the precision
voltage source to the INA+ pad. Connect the negative
terminal of the precision voltage source to the INApad.
3) Install a shunt on jumper JU1 to short INA- to GND.
4) Connect the DMM to monitor the voltage on the OUTA
pad.
5) Turn on the Q15V power supply.
6) Apply +1V from the precision voltage source. Observe
the output at the OUTA pad on the DMM. OUTA
should read approximately +1V.
7) Repeat steps 2–7 to evaluate OUTB.
Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAX9633 EV kit provides a proven layout for the
MAX9633 dual, low-noise, low-distortion op amp to
support multiple op-amp configurations. The EV kit
accepts a +4.5V to +36V single-supply voltage, or a
Q2.25V to Q18V dual-supply voltage.
Jumper Selection
Input Configuration
Jumpers JU1–JU4 are provided to allow flexibility in grounding inputs for multiple op-amp configurations. When a shunt is installed on the jumper, the
corresponding input pad is referenced to ground. See
Table 1 for the JU1–JU4 configuration. See the Op-Amp
Configuration section for more information regarding EV
kit configuration.

Inverting Configuration
To configure op-amp U1-A as an inverting amplifier,
replace R2 and R4 with the desired 1% gain-setting
resistors, install a shunt on jumper JU2, and feed a
voltage VIN between the INA- and INA+ pads. Install
a shunt on JU2 to ground the INA+ input in this
configuration. The output voltage is given by the
following equation:
=
VOUT
R4
(VIN + VOS )
R2
The offset voltage VOS can be either positive or negative.
To configure op-amp U1-B as an inverting amplifier,
replace R7 and R9 with the desired 1% gain-setting
resistors, install a shunt on jumper JU4, and feed a
voltage VIN between the INB- and INB+ pads. Install
a shunt on JU4 to ground the INB+ input in this
configuration. The output voltage is given by the
following equation:
=
VOUT
R9
(VIN + VOS )
R7
The offset voltage VOS can be either positive or negative.
Noninverting Configuration
To configure op-amp U1-A as a noninverting amplifier,
replace R2 and R4 with the desired 1% gain-setting
resistors, replace R3 with a 0I resistor, install a shunt on
jumper JU1, and feed a voltage VIN between the INA+
and INA- pads. Install a shunt on JU1 to ground the INAinput in this configuration. The output voltage is given by
the following equation:
R4
VOUT= 1 +
(VIN )
R2
To configure op-amp U1-B as a noninverting amplifier,
replace R7 and R9 with the desired 1% gain-setting
resistors, replace R8 with a 0I resistor, install a shunt on
jumper JU3, and feed a voltage VIN between the INB+

and INB- pads. Install a shunt on JU3 to ground the INBinput in this configuration. The output voltage is given by
the following equation:

R7
Differential Amplifier
To configure op-amp U1-A as a differential amplifier,
replace R1–R4 with appropriate resistors and install a
shunt on jumper JU1. Make sure R1 = R4 and R2 = R3.
The CMRR of the differential amplifier is determined by
the matching of the resistor ratios R4/R2 and R1/R3:
VOUT = GAIN (INP - INN)
where:
=
GAIN

R2 R3
To configure op-amp U1-B as a differential amplifier,
replace R6–R9 with appropriate resistors and install a
shunt on jumper JU3. Make sure R6 = R9 and R7 = R8.
The CMRR of the differential amplifier is determined by
the matching of the resistor ratios R9/R7 and R6/R8:
VOUT = GAIN (INP - INN)
where:

Transimpedance Application
To configure op-amp U1-A as a transimpedance
amplifier (TIA), replace R2 with a 0I resistor and install a
shunt on jumper JU2. The output voltage of the TIA is the
input current multiplied by the feedback resistor:
VOUT = (IIN + IBIAS ) × R4 + VOS
where R4 is installed as a 100I resistor, IIN is defined as
the input current source applied at the INA- pad, IBIAS is
the input bias current, and VOS is the input offset voltage
of the op amp. Use capacitor C6 (and C5, if applicable) to
stabilize the op amp by rolling off high-frequency gain
due to a large cable capacitance.
To configure op-amp U1-B as a TIA, replace R7 with a
0I resistor and install a shunt on jumper JU4. The output
voltage of the TIA is the input current multiplied by the
feedback resistor:
VOUT = (IIN + IBIAS ) × R9 + VOS
where R9 is installed as a 100I resistor, IIN is defined as
the input current source applied at the INB- pad, IBIAS is
the input bias current, and VOS is the input offset voltage
of the op amp. Use capacitor C9 (and C8, if applicable) to
stabilize the op amp by rolling off high-frequency gain
due to a large cable capacitance.
Capacitive Loads
Some applications require driving large capacitive loads.
To improve the stability of the amplifier in such cases,
replace R5 (R10) with a suitable resistor value to improve
amplifier phase margin. The R5/C7 (R10/C10) filter can
also be used as an anti-alias filter, or to limit amplifier
output noise by reducing its output bandwidth.
