Cerus 8 AA021 & AA022 E-Band Amplifiers Data Sheet AA021/AA022 Control Board pinout Connector CON1 IPL1-112-02-L-D-K Connector CON1 Connector CON1 controls the drain currents of the HPA assembly. The length of the wire harness must be as short as possible. Negative power supply. Power supply Ground. All four pins are connected together and to the metalwork. Positive power supply. All four pins are connected together. Fast transient response power supply with current limit at least 14A is highly recommended. CMOS input with 3.3V logic level (5V tolerant). When ENABLE < 0.6V DC or left...

Cerus 8 AA021 & AA022 E-Band Amplifiers Data Sheet AA021/AA022 Temperature sensor The HPA assembly contains a temperature sensor with analogue output. There is a low pass filter at the output. When measuring the output voltage make sure that the input impedance of the meter is high enough to avoid measurement errors. Temperature sensor transfer function The transfer function of the temperature sensor can be approximated with the following polynomial, where x is the measured voltage in mV and T is the temperature in °C. T=a0+a1*x+a2*x^2 a0 = 181.765094640206 a1 = 0.10716443871271 a2...
