The HS-OP470ARHEV1Z evaluation platform is designed to
evaluate the HS-OP470ARH. The evaluation board contains all
the circuitry needed to critique the performance of the
HS-OP470ARH amplifier. The HS-OP470ARH is a radiation
hardened, monolithic quad operational amplifier that provides
highly reliable performance in harsh radiation environments.
Its excellent noise characteristics coupled with an unique array
of dynamic specifications make this amplifier well-suited for a
variety of satellite system applications. Dielectrically isolated,
bipolar process makes this device immune to Single Event
Latch-up.

Introduction
FIGURE 1. POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
• HS-OP470ARH Data Sheet FN4471
• HS-OP470ARH SMD 5962-98533
Figure 1 demonstrates the power supply connections,
decoupling and protection circuitry. External power
connections are made through the V+, V-, VREF, and GND
banana jack connections on the evaluation board. De-coupling
capacitors C2 and C26 provide low-frequency power-supply
filtering, while additional capacitors, C1, C3, C4 and C5, which
are connected close to the part, filter out high frequency noise
and are connected to their respective supplies through R37
and R48 resistors. These resistors are 0 but can be changed
by the user to provide additional power supply filtering, or to
reduce the supply voltage rate-of-rise time. Anti-reverse diodes
D1 and D2 protect 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.

Amplifier Configuration
The outputs (Figure 4) also have additional resistor and capacitor
placements for filtering and loading.
A simplified schematic of the evaluation board is shown in
Figure 2. The input stage with the components supplied is shown
in Figure 3. The circuit implements a Hi-Z differential input with
unbalanced common mode impedance. The differential
amplifier gain is expressed in Equation 1:
NOTE: Operational amplifiers are sensitive to output capacitance
and may oscillate. In the event of oscillation, reduce output
capacitance by using shorter cables, or add a resistor in series
with the output.

For single-ended input with an inverting gain G = -10V/V, the IN+
input is grounded and the signal is supplied to the IN- input. VREF
must be connected to a reference voltage between the V+ and Vsupply rails. For non-inverting operation with G = 11V/V, the
negative input (IN-) is grounded and the signal is supplied to the
positive input (IN+). The non-inverting gain is strongly dependent
on any resistance from IN- to GND. For good gain accuracy, a 0
resistor should be installed on the empty R11 pad.
