OPA462EVM

This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the evaluation module (EVM) for the
OPA462. 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 OPA462EVM.

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.

This limit can be seen in Figure 2 Resistor RL can be any value from 0 Ω to 2 87 kΩ and the output will remain within the circuit linear compliance range However if the value of RL is increased further the current pump operation is forced outside the compliance range and the output current will no longer remain constant Thus increasing the value of RL to greater than 2 87 kΩ defeats the goal of p...
