MAX40006 Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX40006
General Description
The MAX40006 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven
design to evaluate the MAX40006 low-power, MOS-input
operational amplifier (op amp) in a 6-bump wafer-level
package (WLP). The EV kit circuit is preconfigured as a
noninverting amplifier, but can easily be adapted to other
topologies by changing a few components. Low-power,
low-input V
OS
, and rail-to-rail input/output stages make
this device ideal for a variety of measurement applications.
The component pads accommodate packages, making
them easy to solder and replace. The EV kit comes with a
MAX40006ANT+ installed.
Quick Start
Required Equipment
● MAX40006 EV kit
● +5V, 10mA DC power supply (PS1)
● Precision voltage source
● Digital multimeter (DMM)
Procedure
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps
below to verify board operation:
1) Verify that the jumpers are in their default positions, as
shown in
Table 1.
2) Connect the positive terminal of the +5V supply to the
V
DD
PCB pad and the negative terminal to the GND
PCB pad closest to V
DD
.
3) Connect the positive terminal of the precision voltage
source to the IN+ PCB pad. Connect the negative
terminal of the precision voltage source to GND (GND
or IN- PCB pads).
4) Connect the DMM to monitor the voltage on the OUT
PCB pad. With the 10kΩ feedback resistor (R5) and
1kΩ series resistor (R1), the gain is +11 (noninverting
configuration).
5) Turn on the +5V power supply.
6) Apply 100mV from the precision voltage source.
Observe the output at OUT on the DMM. OUT should
read approximately +1.1V.
7) Apply 400mV from the precision voltage source. OUT
should read approximately +4.4V.

Detailed Description of Hardware
Sallen-Key Configuration
The Sallen-Key topology is ideal for filtering sensor signals
with a 2nd-order filter and acting as a buffer. Schematic
complexity is reduced by combining the filter and buffer
operations. The EV kit can be configured in a Sallen-Key
topology by replacing and populating a few components.
The Sallen-Key topology is typically configured as a unity-
gain buffer, which can be done by replacing R1 and R5
with 0Ω resistors. The signal is noninverting and applied
to IN+. The filter component pads are R2, R3, R4, and
R8, where some have to be populated with resistors and
others with capacitors.
The MAX40006 EV kit provides a proven layout for the
MAX40006 low-power, MOS-input op amp. The device is
a single-supply op amp that is ideal for buffering sensor
signals. The Sallen-Key topology is easily accomplished
by changing and removing some components. The
Sallen-Key topology is ideal for buffering and filtering
sensor signals.
Op-Amp Configurations
The device is a single-supply op amp that is ideal for
differential sensing, noninverting amplification, buffering,
and filtering. A few common configurations are detailed in
the next few sections.
Lowpass Sallen-Key Filter
To configure the Sallen-Key as a lowpass filter, populate
the R2 and R8 pads with resistors and the C3 and C4
pads with capacitors. The corner frequency and Q are
then given by:

Noninverting Configuration
The EV kit comes preconfigured as a noninverting amplifier.
The gain is set by the ratio of R5/R1. The EV kit comes
preconfigured for a gain of +11. For a voltage applied to
the IN+ PCB pad, the output voltage for the noninverting
configuration is given by the equation below:

Highpass Sallen-Key Filter

pads with capacitors. The corner frequency and Q are

Differential Amplifier
To configure the EV kit as a differential amplifier, replace
R1, R2, R
C3
, and R5 with appropriate resistors. When
R1 = R2 and R
C3
= R5, the CMRR of the differential
amplifier is determined by the matching of resistor ratios
R1/R2 and R

Capacitive Loads
Some applications require driving large capacitive loads.
To improve the stability of the amplifier in such cases,
replace R6 with a suitable resistor value to improve amplifier
phase margin in the presence of the capacitive load (C9),
or apply a resistive load in parallel with C9.
