General Description
The TH72036 evaluation board is designed to demonstrate the performance of the transmitter IC for conduc-
tive measurements. The power amplifier is matched to 50 Ohms by means of a π-matching network to oper-
ate at a resonant frequency of 868 and 915 MHz.
The EVB72036 also features a clock output applicable to drive a microcontroller. The clock frequency can be
selected by an external logic signal.
