INTRODUCTION
This easy to use kit provides a platform with good circuit board layout and grounding to evaluate Power
Amplifier PA164. 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. The evaluation kit consists of a
PA164, which is mounted on a daughter board along with input protection diodes, power supply bypass
capacitors, and compensation capacitors.
The Evaluation kit also consists of few passive components and connectors that should be soldered on
the board. These components are not presoldered so as to provide flexibility to the user for changing ampli-
fier configuration as per the users application.

P12 and P10. Input and output waveforms can be checked on an 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: EK24 Build EK24U Rev A... - Page 6 EK24 Figure 5 and 6 show the input, output and over current flag waveforms when a PA164 is evaluated using the EK24 evaluation kit. The yellow waveform (channel 1) represents an input signal of 4V and cyan wave- form (channel 2) represents an output signal of 100V Magenta waveform (channel 3) represents the over P-P.
