Evaluation Kit for SA08 Pin-Out
INTRODUCTION
PARTS LIST
This easy-to-use kit provides a platform for the evaluation of
PWM amplifiers using the SA08 pin-out configuration. It can be
used to analyze a multitude of standard or proprietary circuit
configurations, and is flexible enough to do most standard
amplifier test configurations.
The schematic is shown in Figure 3. Note that all of the
components shown on the schematic will probably not be used
for any single circuit. Some components will simply be omitted, while others require installation of a jumper to complete
the signal path.
Only components unique to the EK15 are provided in this
kit. Hardware similar to that shown in Figure 1 must be obtained locally.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
* All Apex Precision Power amplifiers should be handled using
proper ESD precautions.
* Always use the heatsink included in this kit with TW05
washer.
* Always use adequate power supply bypassing.
* Do not change connections while the circuit is powered.
* Initially set all power supplies to the minimum operating
levels allowed in the device data sheet.
* Check for oscillations.

During assembly refer to Figure 1 and
Figure 2.
1. From the DUT of the PCB insert and
solder the 12 cage jacks. Also solder
the cage jacks from the circuit side
as well, making sure the cage jack
remains flush with the component side
of the PCB.
2. Solder the 3 surface mount ceramic
capacitors to the component side of
the PCB.
3. From the component side of the PCB
insert the terminal strip. Solder from
the circuit side of the PCB. Be sure that
the GND terminal hole in the PCB is
fully filled with solder.
4. Two values of current limiting power
resistors are supplied. Select one
value (see the amplifier data sheet to
learn how to calculate which resistor
will suit your need). Coat the backside
of the power resistor with heat sink
compound (not supplied). Using 4-40
screws and nuts (not supplied) mount
the resistors to the two small heat sinks
supplied. Solder the resistor/heat sink
assembly to the component side of the
PCB.
5. Insert the electrolytic capacitor into
the PCB from the component side and
solder from the circuit side making sure
to fill the mounting holes with solder.
6. From the circuit side, push spacer
grommets into PCB until fully seated.
Grommets will snug when screws are
inserted for heatsink mounting.
7. Apply TW05 thermal washer to the
bottom of the amplifier.
8. Use #14 sleeving to insulate and align
at least 2 opposite pins of the amplifier.
9. Mount amplifier to heatsink using #6
screws and nuts. Torque the part to
the specified 8 to 10 in-lbs (.9 to 1.13
N*M). Do not over torque.
10. Install components as needed. External connections may be soldered
directly or standard banana jacks may
be soldered to the large pads at the
edge of the PCB.
11. Insert amplifier pins into cage jacks
and fasten PCB to heatsink.

A block diagram of the SA08 is shown in Figure 2 along with
pcb connections of all the commonly used external components.
Your application circuit will not use all of the components. Add
those components required by your circuit. You may have to
jumper some components to make the desired electrical connections. J1 is an optional way to connect the clock circuit. Power
supply bypassing is particularly important and that is why high
quality ceramic chip capacitors are supplied with the kit. In addition, a large electrolytic capacitor is included. This capacitor
was selected expressly for this evaluation kit and may not be
(and likely won't be) suitable for your end application. You will
need to select an electrolytic capacitor based on your analysis
of the capacitor's ripple current, ripple current tolerance, operating temperature, operating voltage, acceptable service life and
acceptable supply ripple. Note that the signal ground and power
ground are separated and tie together only at the ground pin (5).
A breadboarding area is supplied which can accomodate 1 or
2 IC amplifiers and associated components. The large terminal
pads can be used to solder wire connections or bannana jacks.
The schematic of Figure 3 can be used to verify the functionality of your amplifier and help you gain a familiarity with
proper operation. At either A Out or B Out, with respect to
ground, you should observe a square wave approximately 30
V in amplitude with a fixed frequency and duty cycle that varies
from approximately 0 to 100% at a rate of 1 Hz. The current
limit is set to 2 amps.
