MSA260KC INTRODUCTION This easy-to-use kit provides a platform for the evaluation of PWM circuits using the MSA240KC/260KC pin out. With ample bread boarding areas it is flexible enough to analyze a multitude of standard or propri- etary circuit configurations. Critical connections for power supply bypassing are pre-wired. Components not usually readily available in engineering labs are provided.
Please refer to Application Note 1, AN01, for general operating considerations. ASSEMBLY During assembly refer to Figure 3 and the data sheet for the product you are using, either the MSA240KC or MSA260KC. 1. Note that each side of the circuit board is identified as either the component side or “DUT side”.

PCB. Use the correct voltage capacitors for the product you are using: A 100V capacitor for the MSA240KC, or a 450V capacitor for the MSA260KC. Be sure the capacitors have snapped into the PCB and solder from the “DUT side” of the PCB. Be sure to fill the holes with solder.
