5 Operating the evaluation board
5.1 Test set-up
1. Connect 8 Ω 250 W dummy loads to output connectors (J3 and J4 as shown in Figure 2) and parallel it with the
input of the Audio Precision (AP) analyzer.
2. Connect the Audio Signal Generator (ASG) to J6 and J5 for CH1 and CH2 respectively (AP).
3. Set up the dual power supply with voltages of ±52.2 V ; set current limit to 10 A.
4. Turn off the dual power supply before connecting to “on” of the Unit Under Test (UUT).
5. Set switch S1 to the middle position (self-oscillating).
6. Set volume level knob R108 fully counter-clockwise (minimum volume).
7. Connect the dual power supply to J7, as shown in Figure 2 or Figure 3
5.2 Power-up sequence
8. Turn on the dual power supply. The ±B supplies must be applied and removed at the same time.
9. Red LED (protection) should turn on almost immediately and turn off after about 3 s.
10. Green LED (normal) then turns on after the red LED is extinguished and should stay on.
11. Quiescent current for the positive supply should be 55 mA 10 mA at ± 52.2 V.
12. Quiescent current for the negative supply should be 80 mA 10 mA at ± 52.2 V.
13. Push S3 switch (trip and reset push-button) to restart the sequence of LED indicators, which should be the same
as noted above in steps 9 to 10.
5.3 Audio functionality tests
1. With AP no filter (more than 500 kHz), monitor the channel’s switching frequency on the AP’s analog analyzer.
2. Set S1 to “self” (self-oscillating) position.
3. Set the AP’s analog analyzer to 20 kHz AES17 filter.
4. Connect the audio signal from the AP to J6 and J5.
5. Apply 1 VRMS at 1 kHz sinusoidal signal from the ASG.
6. Turn control volume up (R108 clockwise) to obtain an output reading of 150 W (8 Ω load).
7. Sweep the audio signal voltage from 15 mVRMS to 1.5 VRMS.
8. Run the AP tests as shown in Figures 4 to 11, below.
5.4 External clock function
1. With AP no filter (more than 500 kHz), monitor the channel’s switching frequency on the AP’s analog analyzer.
2. Set S1 to “self” (self-oscillating) position.
3. Set S1 to “Ext” (external clock) position to enable the onboard clock oscillator.
4. Connect the external clock signal generator output to J8.
5. Set the AP’s analog analyzer to 20 kHz AES17 filter
6. Connect the audio signal from the AP to J6 and J5.
7. Sweep the audio signal voltage from 15 mVRMS to 1.5 VRMS.
5.5 Power-down sequence
14. Turn off ± power supply at the same time.
15. All LEDs turn off when housekeeping power supplies are off.
