EVAL11 Deluxe Stereo 1ET7040SA Eval Kit
Description
EVAL11 is an evaluation kit consisting of two 1ET7040SA amplifier modules, a stereo front-end board FE08 and a Cable set.
EVAL11 is very suitable for integration in DIY constructions.
The front-end FE08 is designed for easy testing of the 1ET7040SA and provide all connectivity and control required to operate the amplifier modules:
- Balanced analog inputs connectors (XLR),
- Banana-plug speaker connectors and solder pads for extra speaker connectors, like a SpeakON
- Connector for enabling/disabling operation,
- Connecters for a (shared) power supply
- Ultra Low Noise and THD Pre-gain stage w/ four gain settings using our FET-input discrete OPAMP
- see our blog post: Discrete Op Amps: When and Why It Actually Matters - Ultra Low Noise Linear Voltage regulators for OPAMPs,
- Pin header for connecting the 1ET7040SA module in BTL- mode
- Status LED’s,
- Various pin headers for accessing e.g, I2C and status information.
Refer to the 1ET7040SA Data Sheet for all specifications.
It is recommended to mount EVAL11 on a heatsink, e.g., an adequately design aluminum chassis.
NOTE: 1ET7040SA has very low idle losses and high overall efficiency, however, adequate cooling is still essential for sustained power delivery. Careful considerations must be given to design of the thermal system in order to achieve desired system-level output power specifications. Given proper cooling the 1ET7040SA amplifier module can easily be capable of very high continuous power delivery and the module is specifically designed with the utmost robustness and reliability as fundamental properties. Most frequently it is the system power supply that becomes the limiting factor in a application incorporating the 1ET7040SA module(s).
