The resistor values should be low value to achieve low noise, but should be of high enough value to
obtain a small size ac-coupling capacitor.
The MFB topology demands a unity-gain stable op amp. If this condition can be relaxed for a specific
application, a capacitor from the inverting input to GND of the same value as C
1
can be used. This
alternate configuration increases the high-frequency gain to 2.
The SGND and GND pins of the DRV603 must be routed separately back to the decoupling capacitor in
order to facilitate proper device operation. If the SGND pins are connected directly to each other, the
device functions without risk of failure, but noise and THD performance can be reduced.
On the DRV603EVM, a star ground routing pattern is used; the star point is located directly below the
DRV603 device itself.
This section discusses the DRV603EVM overall performance in key parametric areas. Table 4 through
Table 8 summarize the EVM specifications.
