Introduction
The HS-OP470ARHEV1Z evaluation platform is designed to
evaluate the HS-OP470ARH. The evaluation board contains all
the circuitry needed to critique the performance of the
HS-OP470ARH amplifier. The HS-OP470ARH is a radiation
hardened, monolithic quad operational amplifier that provides
highly reliable performance in harsh radiation environments.
Its excellent noise characteristics coupled with an unique array
of dynamic specifications make this amplifier well-suited for a
variety of satellite system applications. Dielectrically isolated,
bipolar process makes this device immune to Single Event
Latch-up.

• BNC Connectors for Op Amp Input and Output Terminals
• Convenient PCB Pads for Op Amp Input/Output Impedance
Loading
Figure 1 demonstrates the power supply connections,
decoupling and protection circuitry. External power
connections are made through the V+, V-, VREF, and GND
banana jack connections on the evaluation board. De-coupling
capacitors C2 and C26 provide low-frequency power-supply
filtering, while additional capacitors, C1, C3, C4 and C5, which
are connected close to the part, filter out high frequency noise
and are connected to their respective supplies through R37
and R48 resistors. These resistors are 0 but can be changed
by the user to provide additional power supply filtering, or to
reduce the supply voltage rate-of-rise time. Anti-reverse diodes
D1 and D2 protect the circuit in the momentary case of
accidentally reversing the power supplies to the evaluation
board. The VREF pin can be connected to ground to establish a
ground referenced input for split supply operation.

Amplifier Configuration
A simplified schematic of the evaluation board is shown in
Figure 2. The input stage with the components supplied is shown
in Figure 3. The circuit implements a Hi-Z differential input with
unbalanced common mode impedance. The differential
amplifier gain is expressed in Equation 1:

The outputs (Figure 4) also 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.

FROM OUT_A
For single-ended input with an inverting gain G = -10V/V, the IN+
input is grounded and the signal is supplied to the IN- input. VREF
must be connected to a reference voltage between the V+ and V-
supply rails. For non-inverting operation with G = 11V/V, the
negative input (IN-) is grounded and the signal is supplied to the
positive input (IN+). The non-inverting gain is strongly dependent
on any resistance from IN- to GND. For good gain accuracy, a 0
resistor should be installed on the empty R11 pad.

FIGURE 3. INPUT STAGE
Component pads are included to enable a variety of
user-selectable circuits to be added to the amplifier inputs, the
VREF input, outputs and the amplifier feedback loops.
A voltage divider can be added to establish a power
supply-tracking common mode reference using the VREF input.
The inverting and non-inverting inputs have additional resistor
and capacitor placements for adding input attenuation or
feedback capacitors (Figure 3).
