INTRODUCTION
BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
Fast and easy breadboarding of circuits using the PA62DK
is possible with the EK55 evaluation kit. The EK55 includes
both the universal EVAL36 board and the EVAL55 substrate.
The use of EVAL36 and EVAL55 allows for a large area of
breadboarding space to work with while allowing a surface
mountsubstrateforthePA62DK.ThePA62DKamplifiermaybe
surfacemounteddirectlytotheEVAL55,athermallyconductive
but electrically isolated substrate. The PA62DK is soldered to
a DUT foil footprint area the size of the heatslug as shown in
Figure 1. The metal substrate is cost effective and can allow
the PA62DK to dissipate power up to the datasheet rating.

All Apex amplifiers should be handled using ESD precau-
tion.
Review the Apex product datasheet and operating condi-
tions.
Always provide the appropriate heat sinking. Power dis-
sipation must be considered to ensure maximum junction
temperature (TJ) is not exceeded.
•
Alwaysuseadequatepowersupplybypasscapacitors,Apex
recommends at least 10µF per amp of output current.
Do not change connections while the circuit is powered
In case -Vs is disconnected before +Vs, a diode between
-Vs and ground is recommended to avoid damage.
Initially set all power supplies to the minimum operating
levels allowed in the product datasheet.

The PA62DK is a surface mount device and should be
assembled to the EVAL55 substrate using surface mount
processes. Solder paste may be dispensed or screen-printed
on the DUT pads. The heat slug on the back of the PA62DK
providesmaximumheatdissipationcapabilitieswhensoldered
to the foil footprint area. The PA62DK should be reflowed
to the substrate using a solder reflow furnace. If this is not
available, a heat plate capable of solder reflow temperatures
may be used.
