  • Page 10: Intended Use

    The MCP651 data sheet describes all of its bias voltages relative to V , which is assumed to be at ground (0V). On the other hand, the MCP651 Input Offset Evaluation Board sets the DUT’s input common mode voltage to 0V. The user needs to convert...

  • Page 12 The measured noise, over a 140 second period of time with a typical part, was about 19 µV referred to input (RTI). This compares favorably with the MCP651’s calibrated specification (±200 µV, maximum at +25°C). © 2009 Microchip Technology Inc.
  • Page 13 , along with the capacitors C and C , minimize crosstalk from the other op amps on the board. Since the MCP651’s quiescent current is between 3 mA and 9 mA, the actual power supply voltages (V and V ) are different by 30 mV to 90 mV.
  • Page 14 The DUT’s CAL/CS input pin is normally held at V by resistors R and R ; this keeps the MCP651 in its normal mode of operation. When S is closed by the user, R pulls CAL/CS up to V (after a time set by R...

    CAL switch is activated). Normally, the part is on. These numbers are for the MCP651 op amp. Once the MCP651 Input Offset Evaluation Board is powered up, the switches can be set for the desired operation. S1 (a normally off push-button switch) starts a calibration event (CAL), internal to the DUT, when pushed.

    DUT’s bias point has been changed) to about 0.6 seconds. The noise seen in the measurements is a result of DUT’s input noise voltage passed through the same 1.6 Hz lowpass filter. The MCP651’s 1/f noise dominates at such low frequencies, so V will appear to wander over time.

    Parts information can be found in Appendix B. “Bill Of Materials (BOM)”. 3.3.1 Pinout Figure 3-1 shows the MCP651 op amp’s pinout. This is the standard 8-lead pinout, except for pins 5 and 8 (V and CAL/CS). The MCP651 Input Offset Evaluation Board is designed to take advantage of these input pins, but they are not necessary to this board’s operation.
  • Page 26 With a DIP-8 IC Socket on the evaluation board (see Section 3.3.4 “Single Op Amps in PDIP-8 Package”), it is relatively easy to adapt the MCP651 Input Offset Evaluation Board to many other op amps. An adaptor board is stacked on top using headers that solder to the adaptor board, using PDIP-8 through holes, and are inserted into the DIP-8 socket on the evaluation board.
  • Page 27 Evaluation Board available from Microchip Technology Inc. The two interconnect strips on the bottom are soldered into the through holes for the DIP-8 socket. Figure 3-5 shows this board plugged into the MCP651 Input Offset Evaluation Board. Note 1: Build the adaptor board in the following sequence. Insert the interconnect headers into the DIP-8 socket on the MCP651 Input Offset Evaluation Board.
