INTRODUCTION
TYPICAL COMPONENT FUNCTIONS
Fast, easy breadboarding of circuits using the PA240CX are
possible with the EK34 PC board. Mounting holes are provided
and the provision for standard banana jacks simplifies connec-
tion and testing. The amplifier may be mounted horizontally or
vertically. Components are labeled on both sides of the board
for ease in probing.
COMPONENT
FUNCTION
C1,7
Alone is a roll off, with R3, 13 is a current out stability
network (ref. AN19)
C2,6
With R6, 15 forms noise gain compensation network
(ref. AN25)
C3,4
C5,8
Supply bypass, .22 to 1µF ceramic
With R9, 20 forms a Howland stability network, can
jumper both to ground +IN
A multitude of circuit configurations are possible, so only sev-
eralcomponentlocationshavespecificfunctionsandwillusually
be necessary. This kit is not suitable for use with PA240CC.
