Introduction
The ISL28233MSOPEVAL2Z Evaluation Board is designed to
evaluate the performance of the ISL28233 Chopper
Stabilized op amp. The evaluation board contains the
circuitry needed to evaluate the high performance of the
ISL28233 amplifier. The ISL28233 chopper stabilized

over-temperature and a 0.1Hz 1/f noise corner frequency
enabling very high gain single-stage DC amplifiers that can
operate from single cell batteries while consuming only
20µA of current. The ISL28233MSOPEVAL2Z evaluation
board can be configured as a precision high-gain
(G = 10,000V/V) differential amplifier and demonstrates
the level of performance possible with this type of amplifier
while operating from battery voltages as low as 1.65V.
Power Supplies (Figure 2)
External power connections are made through the V+,
V-, VREF, and GND connections on the evaluation board.
The circuit can operate from a single supply or from dual
supplies. For single supply operation, the V- and GND
pins are tied together to the negative or ground
reference of the power supply. For split supplies, V+ and
V- terminals connect to their respective supply terminals.
De-coupling capacitors C2 and C4 provide low-frequency
power-supply filtering, while additional capacitors, C3
and C5, which are connected close to the part, filter out
high frequency noise. Anti-reverse diode D1 (optional)
protects 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, or can
be externally set to any reference level for single supply
operation.
