TCPA400 Amplifier
The TCPA400 has one internal gain adjustment in the amplifier. To make
adjustments to the amplifier, do the following:
1. Set up the circuit shown in Figure 6--1 on page 6--4.
2. Set the current source to the value shown in Table 6--4 and adjust the
corresponding adjustment pot to within the limits shown in Table 6--4. Use
Figure 6--2 to locate the adjustment on the amplifier board.
