high-speed operational amplifiers in SO-8 packages. Figure 1 shows the package pinout for this PCB. For
more information on these op amps, as well as good PCB layout techniques, see the individual amplifier
data sheets.

R1and R7set the I/O impedance; R2through R6set the gain; and C1through C5are supply bypass
capacitors. C3is optional; it adds a bypass between the supplies that improves distortion performance for
some models. L1and L2are ferrite chips that can reduce interactions with the power supply at high
frequencies. If not desired, they can be replaced with 0resistors.
For single-supply operation, do not connect L2; otherwise, the –VSinput to P1would be at ground potential.

Board Layout

4 Board Layout
This demonstration fixture is a two-layer PCB. (See Figure 3.) It uses both a ground plane and power
traces on the inner layers. The ground plane has been opened up around op amp pins that are sensitive
to capacitive loading. Power-supply traces are laid out to keep current loop areas to a minimum. The SMA
(or SMB) connectors may be mounted either vertically or horizontally onto the board edge. The location
and type of capacitors used for power-supply bypassing are crucial for high-frequency amplifiers. The
tantalum capacitors, C1and C2, do not need to be close to pins 8 and 4 on the PCB and may be shared
with other amplifiers. See the individual op amp data sheet for more information on proper board layout
techniques and component selection.
(1) The board name shown in the silkscreen for an earlier version of the fixture is DEM-OPA268xU with the
Burr-Brown Revision A design finalized in May 1998.
Figure 3. DEM-OPA-SO-2A Demonstration Board Layout
5 Measurement Tips
This demonstration fixture, with the component values shown, is designed to operate in a 50
environment; most data sheet plots are obtained under these conditions. It is easy to change the
component values for different input and output impedance levels. However, do not use high-impedance
probes; they represent a heavy capacitive load to the op amp, and will alter the amplifier response.
Instead, use low-impedance (500) probes with adequate bandwidth. The probe input capacitance and
resistance set an upper limit on the measurement bandwidth. If a high-impedance probe must be used,
place a 100resistor on the probe tip to isolate its capacitance from the circuit.

not intended to be complete in terms of required design-, marketing-, and/or manufacturing-related protective considerations,
including product safety and environmental measures typically found in end products that incorporate such semiconductor
components or circuit boards. This evaluation board/kit does not fall within the scope of the European Union directives regarding
electromagnetic compatibility, restricted substances (RoHS), recycling (WEEE), FCC, CE or UL, and therefore may not meet the
technical requirements of these directives or other related directives.
Should this evaluation board/kit not meet the specifications indicated in the User’s Guide, the board/kit may be returned within 30
days from the date of delivery for a full refund. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY MADE BY

FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
TI currently deals with a variety of customers for products, and therefore our arrangement with the user is not exclusive.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance, customer product design, software performance, or infringement of
patents or services described herein.
Please read the User’s Guide and, specifically, the Warnings and Restrictions notice in the User’s Guide prior to handling the
product. This notice contains important safety information about temperatures and voltages. For additional information on TI’s
environmental and/or safety programs, please contact the TI application engineer or visit www.ti.com/esh.
No license is granted under any patent right or other intellectual property right of TI covering or relating to any machine, process, or
combination in which such TI products or services might be or are used.
FCC Warning
This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION
PURPOSES ONLY and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. It generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to part 15
of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency interference. Operation of this
equipment in other environments may cause interference with radio communications, in which case the user at his own expense
will be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct this interference.
EVM Warnings and Restrictions
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of ±15V and the output voltage range of –15V to +15V.
Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible damage to the EVM. If there are
questions concerning the input range, please contact a TI field representative prior to connecting the input power.
Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or possible permanent damage to the
EVM. Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load
specification, please contact a TI field representative.
During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than +50°C. The EVM is designed to
operate properly with certain components above +50°C as long as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components
include but are not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These types of
devices can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near
these devices during operation, please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch.
