Evaluation Kit

EK66

APPLICABLE PARTS (SOLD SEPARATELY)

PA194

INTRODUCTION

This easy to use kit provides a platform with good circuit board layout and grounding to evaluate PA194

Power Amplifier. The evaluation board provides options to install a load capacitor and series resistor to eval

uate the PA194 for a piezo load. All necessary components are provided with the kit. 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 50

Ω
