This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the evaluation module (EVM) for the OPA462. The EVM is designed to evaluate the performance of the devices in both single and dual-supply configurations. This document also includes the schematic, printed circuit board (PCB) layout, and a bill of materials (BOM).
1.4.1 High Voltage Warning The OPA462 is rated for supply voltages up to ±90 V (180 V for single supply), and common-mode input voltages up to ±85 V. When using the device and EVM under such circumstances, all proper safety practices must be followed.
Shorting pins 2 and 3 of J5 sets the EVM to single supply, and shorting pins 1 and 2 of J5 sets up the EVM for dual supplies. The OPA462 is capable of sourcing or sinking up to 30 mA of current.
Status Flag The OPA462 incorporates a status flag pin to indicate overcurrent or overtemperature conditions. This pin is an open-drain, active-low output that allows the pin to be easily interfaced with standard low-voltage logic. The pin goes active if the junction temperature of the device rises to greater than 150°C, and resets after the device cools to 130°C.
Figure 1. Practical, 20-mA, Improved Howland Current-Pump Circuit Practical current sources have a limited output voltage range that can be covered. The OPA462 op amp has a wide output voltage range because of the high-voltage supplies used. The OPA462 data sheet provides information about the linear output voltage range that should always be observed.
The improved Howland current pump can be used to generate an ac waveform with a peak current that corresponds to a maximum specified dc value. A 20-mA dc current source using the OPA462 has been demonstrated, and will now be used to show how a 20-mA peak ac-current waveform can be realized.
R10 (Rsn), C16 (Csn, snubber), and C9 and C10 in the feedback loop. Compensation, when required, is determined based on the particular circuit to which the OPA462 is being applied. Op amp stability and compensation is a vast subject covered in numerous TI documents, and TI training programs such as TI Precision Labs –...
