The schematic of Figure 3 can be used to verify the func-
tionality 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.
FIGURE 3. FUNCTIONAL TEST CIRCUIT
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 connec-
tions. 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 ad-
dition, 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, operat-
ing 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.
