Evaluation Board
User's Manual
Introduction
www.onsemi.com
The NCS5651MNSGEVB is an evaluation board for the
NCS5651 operational amplifier.
The NCS5651 is a high efficiency, class B, low distortion
power line driver. It incorporates two operational amplifiers
(opamps). The output opamp is designed to drive up to 2 A
peak. At an output current of 1.5 A, the output voltage is
guaranteed to swing within 1 V or less of either rail, giving
the user improved SNR. In addition to the output amplifier,
a small-signal opamp is provided which can be configured
as a unity gain follower buffer or can provide a stage of
a 4-pole low pass filter.
Although the NCS5651 is designed for power line
communication (PLC) applications, it is equally suitable to
drive actuators or motors, or for any application where
a robust power amplifier is required.
For more information refer to [1, 2, 3].
EVAL BOARD USER’S MANUAL
Description
The evaluation boards are small (26 × 23.5 mm2) printed
circuit boards (Figure 1) carrying the NCS5651 line driver.
The schematic is appended at the end of this document.
An NCP4640H033 linear regulator is provided to derive
the 3.3 V Vuc voltage. The latter determines the output
voltage of the warning output pins of the line driver. These
three pins (viz. the thermal warning flag, the thermal
shutdown flag, and the current limitation flag) are connected
to LEDs.

Figure 1. NCS5651MNSGEVB Outline
To ensure stability, 10 pF ceramic capacitors are fitted on
the board between the inverting input and the output of each
opamp. This must be taken into account if an external
capacitance is added, as is the case with a multi-feedback
(MFB) topology.
For convenience, a 3 kW resistor is also fitted between the
non-inverting input and Vcom. If this biasing is not required,
for instance to realize a Sallen and Key filter topology,
the resistor should be removed.
A 2.54 mm-pitch header with ten pins brings the most
important signals outside.
Besides the ground and 12 V supply pin, these include the
line driver disable and 6 V Vcom bias voltage generated by
the line driver. Both signals can be left open if unused.
All pins of the two operational amplifiers are available on
the header. As a result, any opamp topology can be realized
by fitting the appropriate external feedback and biasing
network.

Figure 3. The Schematic of Figure 2 Built on Breadboard with an NCS5651MNSGEVB
Application Ideas
The size and header of the evaluation board make it
perfectly suited for breadboarding. For instance, Figure 2
shows the recommended transmission filter for PLC
S−FSK* with the PL110 carrier frequencies (105 and
115 kHz). This schematic is easily realized on breadboard
(Figure 3).
Some applications require a lower copper-to-ambient
thermal resistance (RCuA ) to improve line driver cooling.
The board design makes it possible to fit a heat sink on the
bottom side: solder mask openings and mounting holes are
foreseen.
The heat sink can be mounted with thermally conducting
adhesive tape (Figure 4). For more information on cooling,
refer to [1, 4].
Fischer Elektronik ICK SMD B 19 SA is recommended.
It may be obtained through Farnell (ref. 4302266) or Newark
(ref. 34M6437).

*Spread-frequency shift keying (S−FSK) is a modulation scheme
widely used in power line communication (PLC). It combines
simplicity (and thus allows a low cost implementation) with good
resilience.
