GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Analog Devices, Inc., dual MSOP universal evaluation board helps users to evaluate dual, high speed op amps offered in the 8-lead, mini small outline package (MSOP). The dual MSOP board is a bare board (that is, there are no components soldered to the board) that enables users to quickly prototype a variety of dual op amp circuits, which minimizes risk and reduces time to market. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the component side and solder side, respectively, of the bare evaluation board.

The evaluation board is a 6-layer printed circuit board (PCB) that accepts SMA edge mounted connectors on the inputs and outputs for efficient connection to test equipment or other circuitry. The ground plane and component placement minimize parasitic inductances and capacitances. The evaluation board components are primarily SMT 0603 case size, with the exception of the electrolytic bypass capacitors (C1 and C2), which are 1206 case size.

Figure 3 shows the evaluation board schematic. Figure 4 and Figure 5 show the assembly drawing and the layout pattern of the component side, respectively. The bill of materials is listed in Table 1.
