PA194
INTRODUCTION
This easy to use kit provides a platform with good circuit board layout and grounding to evaluate PA194
Power Amplifier. The evaluation board provides options to install a load capacitor and series resistor to eval‐
uate the PA194 for a piezo load. All necessary components are provided with the kit. External connections to
the evaluation kit can be made through the connectors at the edges of the circuit. The circuit provides a line
termination of 50Ω.

    Oscilloscope by connecting it to the test points mounted on the board. Begin the test with minimum values of input and supply voltages. Figure 4 shows a typical output waveform of the PA194 using the EK66 Evaluation Kit. The yellow wave‐ form is the input pulse signal to the amplifier, while the blue waveform shows the output waveform.
