HFA1212
Evaluation Board
The performance of the HFA1212 may be evaluated using
the HA5023 Evaluation Board, slightly modified as follows:
1. Remove the two feedback resistors, and leave the con-
nections open.
2. a. For AV = +1 evaluation, remove the gain setting
resistors (R1), and leave pins 2 and 6 floating.
b. For AV = +2, replace the gain setting resistors (R1) with
0Ω resistors to GND.
3. Replace the 0Ω series output resistors with 50Ω.
The modified schematic for amplifier 1, and the board layout
are shown in Figures 2 and 3.
To order evaluation boards (part number HA5023EVAL),
