INTRODUCTION
This easy to use kit provides a platform with good circuit board layout and grounding to evaluate Power
Amplifiers PA01, PA10, PA12, PA51, PA61, PA73 and PA119. 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. Similar circuitry is used for evaluation and the circuit for a particular package can be changed
using jumpers. 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.
All the Power amplifiers are configured for a gain of 21. This evaluation kit provides flexibility for modify‐
ing the gain, in inverting or non‐inverting mode and for using a differential amplifier configuration.
