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 of the PC board is shown in Figure 2. Note that all of the components shown on the schematic will probably not be used for any single circuit. The component locations on the PC board (See Figure 3) provide maximum flexibility for a variety of configurations. Also included are loops for current probes as well as connection pads on the edge of the PC board for easy interconnects. The hardware required to mount the PC board and the device under evaluation to the heatsink are included in the kit. Because of the limitless combination of configurations and component values that can be used, no other parts are included in this kit. However, generic formulas and guidelines are included in the APEX DATABOOK. ASSEMBLY HINTS The mating socket included with this kit has recessed nut sockets for mounting the device under evaluation. This al - lows assembly from one side of the heatsink, making it easy to swap devices under evaluation. The sizes of the stand-offs were selected to allow proper spacing of the board-to-heatsink and allow enough height for components when the assembly is inverted.

  • All Apex amplifiers should be handled using proper ESD precautions! FIGURE 1.
  • Initially set all power supplies to the minimum operating levels allowed in the device data sheet.
  • Check for oscillations.
  • Always use the heatsink included in this kit with thermal grease or TW05 and torque the part to the specified 8-10 in-lbs (.90-1.13 N•M).
  • Do not change connections while the circuit is under pow - er.
  • Never exceed any of the absolute maximums listed in the device data sheet.
  • Always use adequate power supply bypassing.
  • Remember that internal power does not equal load power.
  • Do not count on internal diodes to protect the output against sustained, high frequency, high energy kickback pulses. ASSEMBLY 1. Insert a #6 x 1/4" hex nut in each of the nut socket recesses located on the bottom of the mating socket. 2. Insert the socket into the PC board until it is firmly pressed against the ground plane side of the PC board. 3. Solder the socket in place (Figure 1). Be sure the nuts are in the recesses prior to soldering. 4. Mount the PC board assembly to the heatsink using the stand-offs and spacers included. 5. Apply thermal grease or a TW05 to the bottom of the device under evaluation. Insert into the mating socket through the heatsink. 6. Use the #6 x 1.25" panhead screws to mount the amplifier to the heat sink. Do not overtorque. Recommended mounting torque is 8-10 in-lbs (.90-1.13 N•M). 7. On the ground plane side of the board, between termina - tions for –V and OUT, scrape off the green solder mask for a ground connection. Connect the power supply common in this area. If using the onboard Vboost generation circuits, connect J3 to this ground also. If desired, the green solder mask may be scrapped away on the other end of the board for low current input signal ground connections also. Mounting precautions, general operating considerations, and heatsinking information may be found in the APEX DATA - BOOK. NOTE: Refer to HS11 in Accessories Section.
