OPA455EVM Evaluation Module

ABSTRACT

This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the evaluation module (EVM) for the
OPA455. The EVM is designed to evaluate the performance of the devices in both single and dual-supply
configurations. This document also includes the schematic, printed circuit board (PCB) layout, and a bill of
materials (BOM). Throughout this document the terms 

evaluation board

evaluation module

, and 

EVM

 are

synonymous with OPA455EVM.

WARNING

Danger: HIGH VOLTAGE! This evaluation board is intended for professional use only. It has exposed
high voltages. Do not operate this board without proper high-voltage/high-current safety practices.
Read 

Section 1.4

 before using the EVM.
