60W Board

These checks will verify that:

■

the DC supply voltages are correct

■

the correct voltage levels are present at selected test points

■

the final transistor is functioning correctly

■

the output power is correct.

Figure 8.13

shows the location of the test points on the 60W board. Refer

also to

Table 8.3 on page 164

for a list of test points and their associated

voltage levels.
