������������������������������� ���� �������������������������������������������������������������� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � INTRODUCTION ASSEMBLY This easy-to-use kit provides a platform for the evaluation of PWM amplifiers using the SA01 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 board is designed for surface mounting all components except the switching amplifier. The schematic is shown in Figure 2. 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 EK01 are provided in this kit. Hardware similar to that shown in figure 1 must be obtained locally. The PC board and the foot print of the heatsink measure 3" by 5". 1. From the non-silk screen side, insert and solder cage jacks. Be sure each one is fully seated. 2. From the non-silk screen side, push spacer grommets into PC board until fully seated. Grommets will snug when screws are inserted for heatsink mounting. 3. Apply TW10 thermal washer or a thin, even coat of thermal grease to the bottom of the SA01. If grease is from a tube make sure there is no sign separation of solids and liquids. If from a jar, stir it prior to application. 4. Use #14 sleeving to insulate and align at least 2 opposite pins of the amplifier. 5. Mount amplifier to heatsink using #6 screws and nuts. Do not over torque. 6. Install components as needed. External connections may be soldered directly or standard banana jacks may be soldered to these pads. 7. Insert amplifier pins into cage jacks and fasten board to heatsink. PARTS LIST Part # HS16 MS04 EVAL07 60SPG00001 TW10 Description Heatsink PC mount Cage Jacks PC Board Spacer Grommets Thermal Washer Quantity 1 1 Bag/12 each 1 4 1 Box/10 each BEFORE YOU GET STARTED * * * * * * * All Apex amplifiers should be handled using proper ESD precautions. Always use the heatsink included in this kit with thermal grease. Torque the part to the specified 8 to 10 in-lbs (.9 to 1.13 N*M) Always use adequate power supply bypassing. Do not change connections while the circuit is powered. Initially set all power supplies to the minimum operating levels allowed in the device data sheet. Check for oscillations. �������������������������� ��������� ������������������ �������������� �������������������� ���������������������� �������������������������� �������� �������������������������������� FIGURE 1. ������������������� ��������������������� APEX MICROTECHNOLOGY CORPORATION • TELEPHONE (520) 690-8600 • FAX (520) 888-3329 • ORDERS (520) 690-8601 • EMAIL [email protected] 1 EK01 EVALUATION KIT FOR SA01 PIN-OUT FIGURE 2.
