Description
The TS1001 demo board provides two
configurations for evaluating the TS100 1 operational
amplifier in one single PCB board, namely a non-
inverting configuration located on the left-hand side of
the board and an inverting configuration located on
the right-hand side of the board. In both cases, the
input to each circuit is AC-coupled. The demo board
provides a re-biasing scheme at one-half the power
supply or V
DD
/2 for the inverting configuration and at
V
DD
/4 for the non-inverting configuration.
The TS1001 demo board provides a dedicate d power
supply for the non-inverting circuit and a dedicated
power supply for the inverting circuit. This provides
the user the flexibility of evaluating one circuit at a
time or both at the same time.
In both the non-inverting and the inverting
configuration, the AC-coupling capacitor creates a
high pass filter. The resulting cut-off frequency, f
C
, is
given as:
In the non-inverting circuit, R=R5=1M Ω and
C=C5=0.1µF. In the inverting case, R=R10=1MΩ and
C=C1=0.1µF. In both cases, these component values
generate a high-pass cut-off frequen cy of 1.6Hz.
Default Configurations
Non-Inverting configuration
In the non-inverting configuration, the circuit’s transfer
function is given by the following equation:
With R4=2MΩ and R3=2MΩ the circuit signal gain is
2 with a circuit bandwidth of 2kHz. This results in an
overall circuit bandwidth range of 1.6Hz to 2kHz.
Inverting configuration
In an inverting configuration, the circuit’s transfer
function is given by the following equation:
In this case, R6=1MΩ and R10=1MΩ. This results in
a signal gain of -1 with a circuit bandwidth of 2kHz
and an overall circuit bandwidth range of 1.6Hz to
2kHz.

Non-Inverting Configuration
In order to evaluate the TS1001 operational amplifier
in the non-inverting configuration, the following steps
are to be performed:
1) Before connecting the DC power supply to the
demo board power test points, turn on the power
supply and set the DC voltage to 2.5V and then
turn it off.
2) Set the function generator frequency to 500Hz
and output level with a V
OH
= 1.35V and a V
OL
=
1.15V. This sets the input signal swing to
200mV
PP
, centered at 1.25V.
3) In order to monitor the input and output signal,
select two channels on the oscilloscope and set
the vertical voltage scale and the vertical position
on each channel to 100mV/DIV and -1.2 5V,
respectively. Set the horizontal time scale to
500µs/DIV.
4) Connect the positive terminal of the DC power
supply to TP8 and the ground terminal to TP1.
For all other connections, please refer to Table 1.
5) Connect the signal output of the function
generator to TP6 and the ground terminal to
TP10.
