supply negative terminal. For split supplies, +V and -
V terminals connect to their respective power supply
terminals. De-coupling capacitors C2 and C4 connect
close to their respective supplies, while two
additional capacitors, C1 and C5, are connected
close to the part to filter out high frequency noise.
Anti-reverse diodes D1 and D2 protect the circuit in
the case of accidental polarity reversal.

Introduction
The ISL281X7SOICEVAL1Z evaluation board is a
design platform containing all the circuitry needed to
characterize critical performance parameters of the
ISL281X7 operational amplifiers in SOIC-8 package,
using a variety of user defined test circuits.
The ISL281X7 operational amplifiers feature low bias
current, low noise, and low offset and temperature
drift.

Evaluation Board Key Features
The ISL281X7SOICEVAL1Z is designed to enable the
IC to operate from a single supply, +4.5VDC to
+40VDC or from split supplies, ±2.25VDC to ±20V.
The board is configured for a single op amp
connected for differential input with a closed loop
gain of 10. A single external reference voltage
(VREF) pin and provisions for a user-selectable
voltage divider-filter are included.

Amplifier Configuration
(Figure 2)
The schematic of 1/2 of the op-amp with the
components supplied is shown in Figure 2. The
circuit implements a differential input amp with a
closed loop gain of 10. The circuit can operate from a
single supply or from dual supplies. The VREF pin
must be connected to ground to establish a ground
referenced input for dual supply operation, or can be
externally set to any reference level for single supply
operation. VREF should not be left floating.
Power Supplies (Figure 1)
External power connections are made through the
+V, -V, VREF and Ground connections on the
evaluation board. For single supply operation, the -V
and Ground pins are tied together to the power

User-selectable Options
(Figures 3 and 4)
Component pads are included to enable a variety of
user-selectable circuits to be added to the amplifier
VREF, inputs, outputs, and the amplifier feedback
loops. The Inputs (Figure 3) have additional resistor
and capacitor, and jumper placements for loading
and/or measurement of frequency sensitive
parameters.

The outputs (Figure 4) have additional resistor and
capacitor placements for filtering and loading.
NOTE: Operational amplifiers are sensitive to output
capacitance and may oscillate. In the event of
oscillation, reduce output capacitance by using shorter
cables, or add a resistor in series with the output.

the incorporation or any other use of the circuits, software, and information in the design of your product or system. Renesas Electronics disclaims any and all liability for any losses and damages incurred by
you or third parties arising from the use of these circuits, software, or information.
2.
Renesas Electronics hereby expressly disclaims any warranties against and liability for infringement or any other claims involving patents, copyrights, or other intellectual property rights of third parties, by or
arising from the use of Renesas Electronics products or technical information described in this document, including but not limited to, the product data, drawings, charts, programs, algorithms, and application
examples.
3.
4.
No license, express, implied or otherwise, is granted hereby under any patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of Renesas Electronics or others.
You shall not alter, modify, copy, or reverse engineer any Renesas Electronics product, whether in whole or in part. Renesas Electronics disclaims any and all liability for any losses or damages incurred by
you or third parties arising from such alteration, modification, copying or reverse engineering.
5.
Renesas Electronics products are classified according to the following two quality grades: “Standard” and “High Quality”. The intended applications for each Renesas Electronics product depends on the
product’s quality grade, as indicated below.
"Standard":
Computers; office equipment; communications equipment; test and measurement equipment; audio and visual equipment; home electronic appliances; machine tools; personal electronic
equipment; industrial robots; etc.
"High Quality": Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.); traffic control (traffic lights); large-scale communication equipment; key financial terminal systems; safety control equipment; etc.
Unless expressly designated as a high reliability product or a product for harsh environments in a Renesas Electronics data sheet or other Renesas Electronics document, Renesas Electronics products are
not intended or authorized for use in products or systems that may pose a direct threat to human life or bodily injury (artificial life support devices or systems; surgical implantations; etc.), or may cause
serious property damage (space system; undersea repeaters; nuclear power control systems; aircraft control systems; key plant systems; military equipment; etc.). Renesas Electronics disclaims any and all
liability for any damages or losses incurred by you or any third parties arising from the use of any Renesas Electronics product that is inconsistent with any Renesas Electronics data sheet, user’s manual or
other Renesas Electronics document.
6.
When using Renesas Electronics products, refer to the latest product information (data sheets, user’s manuals, application notes, “General Notes for Handling and Using Semiconductor Devices” in the
