INTRODUCTION
This easy to use kit provides a platform with good circuit board layout and grounding to evaluate linear
power amplifier circuits using the PA50 / PA52 pin out. With additional prototype area, it is flexible enough to
analyze a multitude of standard or proprietary circuit configurations. All 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 50 Ω.
The Power amplifiers are configured for a gain of 21. This evaluation kit provides flexibility for modifying
the gain, in inverting or non-inverting mode and for using a differential amplifier configuration.
