1.3 MICROCHIP’S WEB-BASED MINDI™ ANALOG SIMULATOR TOOL

The Mindi™ Analog Simulator tool is an innovative software tool that simplifies analog circuit design. The Mindi™ Analog Simulator tool supports the following application circuits: 1) Active Filters, 2) Amplifiers, 3) Battery Chargers, and 4) DC-to-DC Converters. The Mindi™ Amplifier Designer provides full schematic diagrams of the amplifier application circuit with recommended component values and displays the responses in frequency and time domains.
The Mindi™ Analog Simulator tool is a free web-based design tool available on the Microchip web site at http://www.microchip.com un der “Online Simulat i on Tools” or by going directly to the Mindi™ web site at http://www.microchip.com/mindi.
The circuit simulator within the Mindi™ Analog Simulator tool can be downloaded and installed on a personal computer (PC) for more convenient simulations. Modified circuit files can also be downloaded to the PC.

1.4 MCP6XXX AMPLIFIER EVALUATION BOARD 2 DESCRIPTION

MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 2 is designed to support inverting/non-inverting summing amplifier circuits, however, at this time, the Mindi™ Amplifier Designer only supports the inverting summing amplifier circuits.
The MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 2 has the following features:
• All amplifier resistors and capacitors are socketed
• All of the component labels on board keep consistent with those on schematic generated in the Mindi™ Amplifier Designer
• Supports all Microchip single op amps
- PDIP-8 package (e.g., MCP6021) are socketed
- SOIC-8 package can be accomodated; see Section 2.4.3 “Amplifier
Modifications Using 8-Pin SOIC Op Amps”
• Test points for connecting lab equipment
• Single supply configuration
Figure 1-2 shows the block diagram of the MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 2. Lab equipment can be attached (via test points) to measure the amplifier response.

Chapter 2. Installation and Operation

2.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter shows how to set up the MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 2. Items discussed in this chapter include:
• Required Tools
• MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 2 Set-Up
• MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 2 Operation

2.2 REQUIRED TOOLS

• Lab power supply
• Lab signal source (e.g., function generator)
• Lab measurement equipment (e.g., oscilloscope)

2.3 MCP6XXX AMPLIFIER EVALUATION BOARD 2 SET-UP

The MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 2 supports inverting summing amplifier and non-inverting summing amplifier. This section details the conversion of these topologies to the MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 2. Figure 2-1 shows the circuit diagram for the board.

FIGURE 2-1: MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 2 Circuit Diagram.
MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 2 User’s Guide
The power supply voltage needs to be in the allowed range for the installed op amps. Any of Microchip’s op amps that operate b elow 5.5V can be used. Moreover , the power supply is protected by a zener diode with nominal voltage 6.2V and bypassed by a
1.0 µF capacitor. (See Figure 2-3: “Power Supply Block.”)
The mid-supply reference consists of a voltage divider and a buffer amplifier. (See Figure 2-4: “Mid-supply Reference Block.”)
The resistors that are part of an amplifier are placed in pin sockets which are labeled. All of the component labels on board keep consistent with those on schematic gener­ated in the Mindi™ Amplifier Designer. The op amps are bypassed by 0.1 µF capacitors and the single op amp U1 can have either a PDIP-8 or SOIC-8 package.
• PDIP-8 packages are inserted into the DIP-8 socket to the right of the U1 label.
• SOIC-8 packages can be accommodated; see Section 2.4.3 “Amplifier Modifications Using 8-Pin SOIC Op Amps”.
The (surface mount) test points for power supply , ground, input signal a nd output signal allow lab equipment to be connected to the board. The MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 2 top view is shown in Figure 2-2.

Installation and Operation
Solder an SOIC-8 Op Amp onto the board
The PDIP socket (U1) must be empty.
2.4.3 Amplifier Modifications Using 8-Pin SOIC Op Amps
There are two options available to use single op amps in SOIC-8 packages (150 mil wide):
• Soldering onto the MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 2, or
• Soldering it onto a separate board which is connected to the DIP-8 socket Note: The DIP-8 socket must be empty; only one op amp can be used at a time.
Figure 2-19 shows a SOIC-8 op amp soldered onto the MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 2.
FIGURE 2-19: Op Amp in SOIC-8 package soldered onto MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board 2.
Figure 2-20 shows a SOIC-8 op amp and a DIP-8 socket, soldered onto the 8-Pin SOIC/MSOP/TSSOP/DIP Evaluation Board available from Microchip Technology Inc. (order # SOIC8EV). The two interconnect strips on the bottom ar e Samtec part # BBS-14-T-B or equivalent and are soldered into the through holes for the DIP-8 socket. Figure 2-21 shows this board plugged into the MCP6XXX Amplifier Evaluation Board
2. Note: Insert the interconnect strips into the DIP-8 socket on the MCP6XXX
Amplifier Evaluation Board 2. Place the SOIC8EV board on the top of the interconnect strips with the same pin orientation. Now solder the strips to the top board; this procedure ensures correct alignment of the strips. Clip the pins flush with the top surface of the SOIC8EV board, then solder the SOIC-8 op amp on the top.
