INTRODUCTION

This easy-to-use kit provides a platform for the evaluation of PWM amplifiers using the SA12 pin-out configuration. It can be used to analyze a multitude of standard or proprietary circuit configurations, and is flexible enough to do most standard amplifier test configurations.

The schematic is shown in Figure 3. Note that all of the components shown on the schematic will probably not be used for any single circuit. Some components will simply be omitted, while others require installation of a jumper to complete the signal path.

Only components unique to the EK17 are provided in this kit. Hardware similar to that shown in Figure 1 must be obtained locally.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

* All Apex amplifiers should be handled using proper ESD precautions.

* Always use the heatsink included in this kit with TW05 washer.

* Always use adequate power supply bypassing.

* Do not change connections while the circuit is powered.

* Initially set all power supplies to the minimum operating allowed in the device data sheet.
